I made Trainyard, and now I'm making some other games.

The Word Alone is done!
Sunday, December 18th, 2011 8:57 pmStill working
Sunday, December 18th, 2011 5:38 pmSo I left coding the game’s “undo” stuff until the very last minute, which was probably a pretty horrible idea, and the game will SUCK without being able to undo… Gonna see if I can squeeze it out in time!
Art and sounds are done!
Sunday, December 18th, 2011 7:15 amSo I finally finished all the art and sound stuff.
All the art was made in Blender, and the sounds and music were made with Ableton live.
Feel free to download a zip with all the sounds and music from here.
Just the mp3 itself: The Word Alone Music. To be honest, calling it music is a stretch, it’s really just some pads because I wanted some sort of ambience.
Making Textures
Saturday, December 17th, 2011 3:54 pmI’ve been making textures for my 3D stuff. I needed a wood texture, but because of the rules, I have to create everything myself. I decided to take a photo of my laminate floor, and then tweak it in photoshop until it got closer to what I wanted.
I started with this:

And eventually ended up with this…
…and this:
I realize the smoothed one is pretty blotchy, but it actually looks decent on the game stuff itself.
The Word Alone
Saturday, December 17th, 2011 7:52 amAlright, so I think I’ve figured out what my idea is… it’s a word game, but I’ll explain more later as I flesh it out.
I’m gonna be making it with Flash, and most of the art is gonna be done in Blender, then rendered and brought into Flash.
We happen to be also putting an offer on a house today, which is gonna take a ton of time, so I’m hoping I’ll actually have enough time to get this done!
