Mini video game update

[Phineas]

I've been busy. 😡 But I've had a little more time to work on my various gaming projects lately, including one that may go commercial very soon. It's not tickle-related, but hey.

Anyhoo, two things have happened in regards to Ticklish Situations' development. First, I've re-written the player objects' rendering engines to use filmstrip'd animation frames instead of separate objects. Filmstrips aren't as difficult to work with as I originally thought, and the memory useage will be better.

Second, I re-worked my contestant animation utility to hook directly into the new player object code, which makes adding new animation sequences to the editor a snap. it just calls the player's functions rather than kludge up duplicate functionality.

I may have some free time in the near future if my contract work peters out, so that'll mean more work. let's hope some more playable screenshots come out of it.

Good luck with your game Phineas. I'm sure it will be cool once you've got eveything ironed out.

sorry dtrell, but I'm doing this in my spare time, of which I have a lot less now than I did when TS was started. not to mention I've been somewhat adverse to working on it lately due to, if you can believe it, the death of one of the women who modelled.

in addition, all of my game-programming time has been taken up by my other, more immediate projects; stuff that has a chance to make some real dough. But as the first of those has passed from development to the QA stage, I have more time to work on TS again. here's hoping.

still, if you're willing to pay me to put aside my other, more pressing issues to work on TS full-time, I won't complain one whit. 😀

I'll give you $15. $10 now and 5 in ground beef when I get my food stamps next month.

Cheers.😀

Whoa... one of your models died? That is well... horrible. Man, what happened??

As in being rushed, don't you worry about the impatience in some, a good thing takes time. I've been patiently watching for updates on your game my friend. 🙂

she got sick, and there were complications. It was... very sudden. one minute she was bopping along, and bam, gets sick Monday and dies Tuesday night. She was a close friend of mine, so it was pretty devastating.

I was going to pull her footage, and have removed mention of her from the web site, but when I informed her family of my intent they asked me to keep her in. I intend to honor their request, but it did kinda kill my enthusiasm to work on it for a while.
