In these regular updates we will bring fresh content to Hive in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.
Eck....well where did time go, gosh we missed last week (Sorry) and this week feeling defeated and a bit beaten down by life, need a lie down (haha)...Still, it is probably the best time to do a write up, share the emotions etc of the game creators for some raw truth.
Making a game is hard, damn hard and its not really filled with people cheering -- I mean there are thrilling moments, but mostly its a long climb, a step forward and two steps back...anyways on with the update.
Dust Storm rolling in from the North!
In a city you do get the odd occasional dust storm but in the outback you get a mars storm! Haha yeah I think its fair to say sometimes with a really good north wind you can make weather on mars look like perfect picnic weather. IBT Island is the real deal when it comes with simulation and how the surrounding environment reacts to certain seasons. Australia is a beautiful and wonderful country but there are parts that can be treacherous and dangerous. Once again, performance becomes an issue with some PC's and video cards when it comes to adding certain graphics. This is why with the majority of games you don't have too much environmental craziness going on and nutty people like us trying to perfect it.
Sea life and food
Sometimes you have to make do with what you have and need to dive to get some sea life. Crabs are a very common form of available food on the shores of Australia and if picked up correctly they wont give you a nasty pinch. Pleased to say the last two weeks have been good for 'sea work' we have seen a variety of improvements to our aquatic game environment.
Wind and rain
Australia is well known to have insanely long dry seasons, but in some places it can really pour with rain. So this week and next is all about trying to develop weather patterns without killing the GPU or Processor. (Nerdy talk again.) So far it has been difficult to do the rain because it needs to be told to stop once your indoors. Currently we are working on it but so far we are up to this point (shown above). Hopefully also we can work out the collision with the ground to make small splashes...yeah that would be cool haha.
I'll leave you with good wishes - Sometimes life is like watching the dust storm roll in.
Well, that's it for this week, hopefully I can get back to weekly updates now and life is kinder and more pro for future regular posting. Take care out there - the world is nuts and filled with tired programmers haha.
