Just arrived from mainz from attending devmania doing the overnight-contest with my globalgamejam-companion burak. This time we decided to use Unity3d instead of the beloved jMonkeyEngine. We started at about 6pm and more or less finished 9am without sleeping. There were some problems with the hitboxes using the unity-collision detection.

Well, 2 Weeks ago I participated in a game-coding-project at Trier. Some students of ‘University of Applied Sciences’ organized the week with the goal to finish a multiplayer 2D Shooter. They (Robert and Tobi) provided a good framework based on Slick2D to start with including a working basic network-framework. To

It took me really long to give Unity3D a chance. Even though I knew it would make a good job I always wanted to create my own framework based on jMonkeyEngine. Hey, I’m a coder… Actually I came quite far but still there were millions of issues. But now
I just joined a group of students that want to create a 2D-Platformer in about a week using slick2d. The big theme is RGB, actually I’m a bit too tired to write more about this. I just made some tests with nifty-gui and created for testing test Logos. This

Ok,…actually I should already be in bed as I will leave quite early in the morning via Frankfurt/Hahn to Berlin. There is the Bigjam a meeting of independend gamedevelopers (and me). I’m quite curious about it and actually I don’t know what to expect. I setup

Out of a strange reason I decided to use the one-week-extension of the tigsource-competition “a game to its cover” to start with coding…actually I did try to use jBullet….Actually that does not work as I wanted and now I’m back with my own framework using the build

Last weekend it was miniLD-Time again. Although I didn’t had the complete weekend time I decided to take part. The theme was greed (or fishing) with the restriction that every gameobject might be used only once. This means you can’t just use e.g. two fishes that looks

Ok, I finally made a version for jME2. To achieve that I also created a userfriendly way to create MeshAnimations programmatically and not only as import from ogre-files. Now you can create MeshAnimation keyframe-based on time,pose and weight like this: MeshAnimationWrapper manualAnimationWrapper = new MeshAnimationWrapper(face); manualAnimationWrapper.addPoseKeyFrame("MouthOpen&

Long time I didn’t post about what’s going on with me. Actually as always I’m doing all and nothing. Started a bunch of different projects (one I hope to finish the weekend) and looked a bit in ogre c++ and ogre4j the java-binding. Just for fun I

Ok,…just a quick post. It was again a desaster. The theme was islands and I decided to create a RTS. After about 15h I realized that it might be too complex (also I had quite a lot done on the model/logic-side) and switched to a so easy third
A couple of days left until the next ludum dare gamedev-competition will be started. As always I’m so optimistic to finish a game but even I think to avoid my common mistakes I have to face the fact that the chance is quite high to suck again,… We’ll

Usually I’m not posting this kind of topics here but this two problems kept me on fire at work for some hours. Scenario: jBoss 4.2.2GA + MessageDrivenBeans Problem 1: Out of nowhere came the problem that when starting jBoss the MDB couldn’t start with the error: jboss.
