Wii would Like to Play!!

It's really been hard for me to find time and the TV to play with the Wii, but those few hours i've spent playing games on it were just awesome. Buying Wii was the starting point for many first time things for me.. I don't like saying it.. but it actually spent the same amount for the games and extra controller that i spent for the console. Yes.. the console costs $250 and the games are like $50 each.!! there are a few cheaper games but ... they really are better left on the shelves. Any way.. the games i bought..
1) Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
2) Monkey Ball: Banana blitz
3) Rayman Raving Rabbids
MP3 (Metriod Prime 3).. was given very high regard as best fps game thus far on this console. It looks great, has very polished controls and is fun to play.. but i really hate it when it comes to searching for stuff.. and just not finding it. The reviewers all over the inet do say that it's a lot easier compared to the previous Metroid games.... i just can't imaging playing those.. :) Apart from that.. the boss battles are really fun. Rest of the enemies you find in the game are mere scape goats. There were times when i would just get detected by the lazers so that i'll have something to shoot. I should have thought about the replay value for this game before buying but well.. it still is a pretty good fps to play with the Wii Remote.

Monkey ball banana blitz.. is a collection of minigames and has a story mode too... basically you are a monkey in a ball roll the ball by tilting the wiimote and reach the end of the level and after you have cleared some levels like that.. you have a boss fight.. These are really fun...They are quite easy though. The main replay value for this comes from the minigames.. there are about 50 minigames.. and some of them are really addictive.... you can just keep playing them for hours if you have got a friend playing with you :)

Rayman Raving Rabbids.. is a really funny game.. I should say the funniest iv'e ever played.. did not play many games which have a funny storyline etc.. but .. this is really funny.. the characters are really well done.. the cut scenes are just masterpieces... if you don't mind bunnies being kicked around.. and are not an animal activist.. this a real fun game to play.

Then there is Wii sports.. its' free.. it's got tennis.. and bowling... tennis is my type of the game.. fast and fun to play.. no nonsense.. you know.. the id style of game... ofcourse.. they seem to be changing that. Well any way.. .. i just hope i could get my roomies would give me more time with the Tv for playing..

Epic Games Store on Steam Deck

EGS ( Epic Games Store ) like it or hate it, has been giving away free games and if you like free games you would have picked up atleast a couple of them. So given that some of those games are Deck Verified / Playable, its fair to assume you would like to install the EGS on the Deck.  Installing EGS on Steam Deck Switch to Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck Download the EGS installer for windows from the Epic Store website: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/download (using your web browser of choice)      Open Steam in the desktop mode and add the installer as a non-steam game                                In the browse window, switch from .desktop files to All files. Select EpicInstaller-xxx.msi and add it to steam library. Find EpicInstaller in your steam library and open its' properties by hitting the "Gear" icon on the right ...

Flash animations in GoDot Engine

If you have not heard about GoDot game engine,.. you should check it out right away.. godotengine.org Last time, i wrote a blog post about my experience making a simple physics game to GoDot Engine. Though there are a bunch of free options announced during the GDC this year, i thought ill' contribute to the engine. The one piece that is most important for game dev is the pipeline for the engine. One of the most common tools used for 2D animations is Flash. I have been using a library called Super Animation for almost all the games we've made for android at TMG. It's  a  free tool which lets you convert swf files to .sam files. This file can then be loaded in Cocos2Dx using the Open source loader library  https://github.com/raymondlu/super-animation-samples I thought it would be a good idea to port this cpp library to GoDot so that i understand how to write custom modules for the engine. This is the video of the module in action. I have expos...

Vehicle Physics (Godot 2D)

I've always been fascinated with the vehicle physics used in games. I played so many racing games / the hill climb games and every single time i would wonder wow that must be really hard to do. Thanks to the new generation of game development tools, developing physics based games has become almost a second nature to most people. I didn't want to be left out so i gave it a shot.. I tried setting up vehicle physics in GoDot Engine for a 2D vehicle. Here is what the vehicle scene looks like.. 2D vehicle setup in GoDot As you can see the body collision shape is not right but the rest of the stuff just works. The idea is simple think of what parts move along with the body vs what doesn't. I was kinda stuck setting up the pinJoint2D in GoDot, it actually clearly takes two nodes under the properties. This makes sure that the wheels are hinged to the DampingSpring2D. The Damping Spring2D takes two physics bodies(Body and the PinJoint2D) and makes it work like shock ab...
