Research and Updates [09/15/2012]

15 09 2012

Mystic Mayhem has been out now for two weeks! Don’t forget this game has two games in one: you can play Adventure mode and Survival mode. Also the patch for the game is currently in Peer Review on the XBLIG App hub.

Currently I have been researching and trying to implement Mystic Mayhem for Android devices. So far I have trying out MonoGame and checking out various tutorials/vids on how to port the game. Not very straight forward since my game is 3d not 2d (unless anyone has better info to port 3d). Still have to figure out how to port the framework, get it to work with my shaders and add touch support.

In other news, I have been prototyping my next untitled game for XBLIG. I will post more info soon.

Dev Update – Mystic Mayhem

18 08 2012

It is getting close to release and I was able to add additional update to the game. Some time ago I saw this video and motivated me to do an update to the shader [HLSL] to make the items glow to give more ambiance to the interactive items in the game. I have also fixed some loading/parsing [CultureInfo] issues for international customers.
Below are some samples of the graphics updates. Enjoy 🙂

What are the most memorable aspects of a game that draws you into the experience? Story? Graphics? Perspective? Lighting? Use the comments and let me know.
