I don't know what happened but I cound't post it yesterday I'm sorry for the mod if there is two tread with the same subject.


've been working on xna for just a couple of month and I just started a real game project but a small one. One level, basic gameplay and AI.

It's more a learning game.

The game still at the first phase of developpement so I don't have any demo just artwork and sceenshots of the environnement. The game is a classical tps, an hide and seek between the player and a sort of milice.



an artwork of the main character



some random screen of the environment.
























I've been working now for three weeks ( two programming and one modelling ) and I hope having a demo at least for the end of April.

For th AI I'm building a simple astar code. the game will use jiglib for the collision detection and some physics effect. I'm planning to had vehicle but I don't think I'll use jiglib car for it.

I still stuck with hlsl problem ( I just don't really get it ) but all the effect ( bump mapping and shadow on the screen) are baked . So the bump won't change in game.




cheers

Pardon my ignorance but whats a TPS? (throttle position sensor?!)

I love the artwork and what you have so far. I love the textures and environment!

Why not use JigLib for vehicles? Theres a bug with high speeds but I found that if you weigh the car down and make up for it with acceleration, its not so bad for basic car stuff.

Tps means a third person shooter, metal gear or splinter cell for the references ( I'm not planning to do the next mgs)

Why I don't use jiglibX for vehicle ? Just because I don't fell confident with this engine. The doc is missing and I just made some boxe collide with the environnement.
So I prefer to stuck with something a perfectly know instead of trying feature I don't understand and spend hours debugging. 

By the way someone know how to add a controller in jiglibX ? The quicktart is a bit vague about it.


thanks for your crits

Yea I saw your postings. I have no idea about controllers in it.

I'm working on full vehicle physics as we speak. I think I'm going to wind up rewriting the whole physics of the cars minus collisions. The collisions dont seem so bad to me.

I like the wall textures, where did you find those?

And the lighting looks very good, too.

I found most of my texture on mayang and I modified them on photoshop. The lightning is not a realtime one, I baked it.

thanks for looking
