Phoenix Game Development

I have recently completed a lengthy process of debugging and improvements. I was focusing more on legacy bugs that had been on my bug list for a long time, and I managed to finally fix a large number of them. I made some improvements to the AI system, and the dynamic character creation system. I […]

This week, I made very extensive improvements to the character creator and spawner systems. I added the ability to not only randomise the clothing that NPC’s can wear (Which was already a feature) but to randomise the materials for each clothing object. This was extremely tedious, since I had to completely redo the data sets […]

I am still working on debugging and improvements. I have made some improvements to the planet generation system, as well as fixed some GUI issues, and improved readability when the background highlight effect is turned on. I have also added a very simple concept test of a third person camera to the game. It is […]

I have spent this week working on more improvements and bug fixes. I have modified the sky shader on earthlike and alien worlds to show more subtle and realistic cloud effects, and I have fixed several long-standing issues with the sky and weather systems. I have also fixed an issue with the sky colour not […]

I have made several improvements to the third campaign, as well as fixed several bugs. In particular, I fixed a bug with the terrain scanning system that was preventing objects from being optimally placed on flat ground. I have also added new clothing types for the AI, and a way for some NPC types to […]

The testing overall went quite well. The bugs were mostly minor, and almost all are now fixed. Most of the issues […]

I have been working on the artwork for the third campaign. Most of the necessary artwork has now been added. It is quite basic at the moment, but I intend to make improvements to it later. I have also made extensive changes to the structure of the missions, adding enemies, more triggers, etc, etc. Improvements […]

I have added a new weapon, the “Mining Laser” to the game. This is actually one of my favourite weapons. It is the only weapon with unlimited ammo (Althoug it does have a overheating mechanic, to stop it from firing continuously), and it does a large amount of damage per second. This is the first […]
