PCG in my Games

Posted by | Categories Alone in the Park, Atomic+, CleanEm Up, DivCircle, Match A Number, Pace Maker FP, PCG

Hello everybody,
Long time with no posts or updates here. It seems like desert, sorry for that but I am sure people who follow me on twitter knows I was busy with my Master’s Thesis in Procedural Content Generation (PCG). I have always used PCG in my games as an excuse for being lazy and not designing levels (as I am not amazing level designer). In this post I will wrap up quickly some of the PCGs I used in my games. In the next post will talk about PCG in my Master’s Thesis.

Slide27
As most of people noticed lots of my arcade games used PCG especially top down shooters (Clean’Em Up and Alone in the Park). All these games don’t have levels designed in advance, but instead they have enemy numbers and types to be generated. The system afterwards choose the most suitable location (away from the player position) and insert them. Pace Maker was a little different where the system generates the types and numbers based on the level of difficulty so as difficulty increase the number of enemies and variety of types increased.

Hi All,

I am totally sorry for long not updating the Blog but I was so busy and I had lots of work and exams till now I am too busy but I managed to sneak with some little time to write a large and nice blog 🙂

First news if anyone noticed that PaceMaker FP changed from InDev to Complete Games and now waiting for Sponsorshipping.

Since I have evolved in the community of FGL to Level2 so they gave me 5 First Impression to use I was pretty confident from my game from developper feedback (take a look) here are some of the feedback:

Pace Maker FP Closed Beta

Posted by | Categories BauAir Studios, Pace Maker FP

Hi all,

I have finished implementing Pace Maker FP 🙂 Yaaaaaaaaaaay 🙂
I wished If I can find some beta testers for it and tell me the feed back what wants to be improved as I think the curve of difficulty and other stuffs of money and enemies is still not balanced well 🙂

So I wish there is some testers that helps me in the game testing but since I am going to try to sponsor it so I dont want to make open beta so people dont share links and copy game and these stuff which will down rate the game in the view of the sponsor 🙂

Hey all,
Sorry for not updating lately but I was having a very large exam MI exam (Machine Intellegence) I dont think I solved good at all in the exam 🙂 it was so hard for a human being to solve and remember around 500 pages in only 7 days 😀

Forget about this painfull experince I passed through it 🙂 Now lets take alook about everything indie 🙂

About my Game Projects Hello World! and Pace Maker FP no new as I was studing hard the last week 🙂 but about two old games Ninjaki and Night Guard I moved them to an Abandon games section 🙂 and may I will release their source code if anyone interested but I dont think it is nice as I am always work unarranged and with no plans 🙂

Week After Week

Posted by | Categories Hello World, Pace Maker FP, Particle Effect Engine, Pixel Art, XNA

Hey All,
I know I only post things from week to week but this due to the exams period besides I want everytime I share I have thing to say either news about my games or news about any other indie stuff :).

First of all about Hello World! project, this week I was surprised that a flash game is released having similar name (Hello Worlds!) but thanks god that the creator add (s) at the end of the World 🙂 so it became different.

About the graphics Tomy was making my friends when they saw it, They said to me that its small and they want bigger sprites and I want it more chibi (may be bubble head (large head, small body)) so Tomy started to recreate the sprites again and make a small mock up for how it going to look.

Hi All,
A week as usual from last post 🙂 as I can’t do better than that in these days 🙂 lots of meeting and working and less time to sleep 🙂

First I will talk about my projects 🙂
Hello World! is still buggy and contain lots of error :S the server side was sending data lately so the game speed at the client decrements as more clients get involved. We were having this huge problem till yesterday were we tried an old library, We tried it long time ago (called Lidgren) and we found it is not better than threading in the dotNet Frame work but when one of my friends try it yesterday it worked nicely and this problem was nearlly disappeared so we were so happy 🙂
There are other problem with graphics and I am affraid that my friends may dont like it :S I am not proffesional with Lighting and stuffs like these. I am only good at retro style effects some particle effects no more :S but guassian blur and other effects I dont know how to do it so I will try to learn how to do them so I hope that I can do it perfectly 🙂
About Tomy the artist he send to me some mockup for the character (his face will be changed to be more chibi look)
