Willow Creek is different from what it used to be...

Gussie asked for a "family friendly yoga class", not what I expected. I got a notification saying that he was really into meditation, I can't blame him for that. The yoga instructor is one of the 5 girls created for him, welcome Sage Oxendine!

IT’S THE 3RD SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, SO IT MUST BE A POPSTAND SUNDAY

Radio Popstand is back today for much more multi-genre music at 14:00 British Summer Time (13:00 UTC) on the Stationhead app.

As usual it’s a multi-genre mix of tracks dating from the time of the Second World War right up to current music from this very year, from a wide range of artists, including: U2, Olivia Dean, Judy Garland, Trella Hart, Björk, Mandy Bingham, The Rolling Stones, Robin S, Bob Marley, The 1975 and so many others.

There’s news every hour, but not that depressing stuff, it’s rumoured there’s a report about a ZX Spectrum that stills survives and works - what’s a ZX Spectrum I heard you shout, listen to find out. Jeffrey will be telling you about the music being played, and there’s even those rather strange Radio Popstand jingles, people across the universe tune in to hear them.

So get the app ‘Stationhead’ downloaded on your phone or tablet now, link it to your premium Spotify or Apple Music account and search for ‘Radio Popstand’. Now all you have to do is tune in at 2 o’clock this afternoon or if you forget listen to a recording of the show, all available on the Radio Popstand profile page on Stationhead.

Happy listening Popstanders!

tiamat-zx replied to your post: Bertrand quitting and wandering off randomly into...

What was left behind again? Purvan’s pinkie I know is one. The broom is probably another… What else did they have that cost gold as a component?

Taliesin made an aside about how he was going to miss the rings, which makes me think Manners got pinched. And oh, the broom. I think those two are going to have some shopping and/or crafting projects to embark on over the next little while.

Granted, it’s sounding like Vex is in a spot where maaaaaybe she should lay off the aerial acrobatics for a little while anyway. ;)

This is my take on Foundry Cove, it’s my New Orleans neighbourhood. The Pancakes moved there because I didn’t want them to live in my Parisian district. Let’s have a look!

Star Control

The Star Control series, published by Accolade but primarily created by Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford, is known for a few things things: its deep lore, comical cast of aliens, and its combat system. The story imagines an intergalactic war between two factions: the Alliance of Free Stars (the good guys) and the Ur-Quan Hierarchy (the bad guys). Within these factions are a number of races, each with their own unique starships. Each race has a detailed backstory of its own evolution, how it discovered space travel, and how they first dealt with discovering life outside of their own planets. Some of it is based on classic science fiction and lore – there are elements of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, plus the inclusion of the classic “grey” aliens, whose origins go back to the 1950s – but the galaxy is also filled with other strange and bizarre races, ranging from kamikaze foxes to religious spiders. Most of the best parts of this universe shine through with the second game, which features numerous dialogue sequences, and a much stronger storyline.

Dev Blog #1 - The Boring Introduction

I suppose I’m going to try and turn this blog into something now. In an effort to stay focused on something, with that something being learning the Godot engine, I will be taking a base template and turning it into a game I’ve been planning for quite a long time now. I won’t go into detail as I don’t want to spoil anything but the basic idea is a 2D Platformer reminiscent of the Megaman X series with focus on roguelite mechanics very similar to The Binding of Isaac. In a perfect world I will be posting several updates a week, but I am not perfect and neither is this world.

A “short” introduction from me: You can call me Bob. I’ve been playing video games ever since I could pick up a snes controller. Its always been a passion of mine and I don’t see myself ever giving them up. I first learned how to program by watching a bunch of C++ tutorial videos on Youtube while I was still in High School, and while I’m still not very good I can at least pick up on concepts fairly easily and implement them. My first foray into game design was learning the goofy Hammer Editor for Valve’s Source engine games. Eventually I discovered I absolutely love listening to music and imagining scenarios to go along with the songs. At some point this evolved into me wanting to make my own music and coming up with stories to go along with my own songs. Then finally I couldn’t take it anymore and bit the bullet and started trying to really teach myself game design so I could make my goofy ass stories into real things for other people to enjoy as well. I have a fun story planned for this game, but I won’t spoil anything unless its necessary for context purposes. After several on and off attempts at getting into the craft I jumped between several different platforms, Source, Unreal, Unity, Gamemaker Studio, even doing it from scratch using SDL alongside C++. The farthest progress I made was in Gamemaker Studio where I got a very near working prototype of the exact game I plan on making here. Most of the movement and combat mechanics were finished and ready to go. Unfortunately real life happened and I fell off the wagon. It also did not help when GMS2 decided to become a sub model. Later on I said screw it and downloaded Godot to try out and actually really liked what I saw. It got me back into the mood to start working on this again. So here we are.

The actual juicy bits:

Moving on, the template shown in the video above is a pretty generous one in my honest opinion. It gets a lot of the boring work done right from the get go. Movement is dynamic with your speed gradually building up or slowing down to a maximum/minimum value based on your input. I’m a big fan of this type of movement as it just looks smoother and makes the character feel weighty. One problem I have with it is that it actually feels a little too smooth. For example, when the player turns around after reaching full speed they slide for a bit longer before moving in the new direction. As nice as that looks I want an immediate effect similar to older style platformers such as the previously mentioned Megaman.

While this is ZX Advent it still captures the same gameplay as the X series much like its ZX’s predecessor Zero even though its visual style has evolved. Its fast, responsive and really smooth. I will essentially be using these games as a reference for how I want my own to feel.

Other than adjusting the basic movement another thing I’ll be working on first is adding Coyote Time. Its something almost all games in this genre have including some 3D platformers. Without going too far into it because this post is already really long, its essentially a short time frame that starts when your character walks off an edge and begins falling. Normally if you walk off an edge you would expect to just fall right? Well thats not fun. What Coyote Time does is allow the player to jump for a certain amount of time even after they fall off an edge. It prevents the player from having to perform pixel perfect jumps, unless of course the game calls for it, and makes platforming far more of a forgiving experience. I’ll go over it more when I reach that point.

There is a lot more I’d like to talk about but I think I’ll save that for when I have something to show for it. Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Stay tuned for more.
