This blog offers a progress report about an indie game development : NeREIDS.Come and see what this is all about, and voice your opinion ! Your feedback is welcome on pretty much every aspect of its development :)
I’ve decided to start blogging a progress report about me coding a PC game as a hobbyist. This is a RPG, designed to be multiplayer right from the start, but this is not a MMO. This game hopes to hint something familiar to roleplayers and PC gamers alike… And also …
I somehow managed to leave this blog unattended for six months. I shall submit the feat as a Steam achievement. Maybe. And yet, there are lots of things to write. They added up, tiny bit after tiny bit, and I was being guilty of wanting to wait a little more …
This post was written in late July and had a rest as a draft since then… I thought it needed some rewriting, and also that I needed to at least reach some conclusion on the topic before publishing it… then months passed by, and… oh well, here you are. A …
Hey everyone 🙂 Long time no write, I guess I lost myself in heavy “Research & Development” work around NeREIDS, while not adding much code to the project in concrete terms. But this doesn’t mean nothing was done ! At the onset of this long silence, there was some reading …
I realize this post is a bit “raw”, since I didn’t take the time to explain all the concepts here. Read further only if you’re a programmer, or at your peril. As stated in that long awaited progress report, I experienced some major re-shifting of my way of thinking about …
Hi there everyone 🙂 I figured I would post this small progress report now, even if I don’t have much more to show yet. The past few weeks were not very prone to intensive coding on my part, but I still managed to pull some stuff through. Improved movement handling …
I initially planned to talk about my reluctancy to code lighting tricks in the last progress report. But this part did not quite fit within the “progress report” style, so I stick it there on its own. Why do I care about lighting so much ? *clears throat* Everything we …
Hi 😉 As promised in the last report entry, I’ll give you here some info about the current state of NeREIDS networking system (This should be more focused on the programming aspects than what I’ve shown before). Networking and time synchronization need to be supported by a robust and precise …
Hi there ! This posts follows up the one about FLNetwork architecture. Here I’ll try to review the current state of the networking aspects of the NeREIDS application, independently of the FLNetwork layer. I will try to keep these matters open-ended, and discuss a list of planned features. Comments are …
Hi there everyone ! Remember, two weeks ago, I was pursuing the goal of displaying a few avatars that would react to networked inputs (over UDP). I repeatedly ran into solid walls when trying to implement network stuff, timing stuff, rendering stuff, math stuff, terrain stuff… and could not meet …
Hey guys, welcome to the third progress report on NeREIDS development. When I left you last Monday, I had designed and coded a connection and authentication system in my network library. This system enabled the server to allow clients to connect to it using UDP, provided they knew the server’s …
