I myself was pretty tempted to get one, even though I knew the Nintendo DSi would be out in April. Initially the DSi's new features just didn't seem like a reason to wait, let alone ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=223 The first annual TIGJam was a smashing success. It was nice to meet various TIGers and people whose games I have played but never been formally introduced to. I also got a pretty cool prototype done. This was originally an idea by Steve Swink that we discussed a long ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=202 Inspired by this post on tigsource I decided to build my own collage of unfinished projects and prototypes. My count is a puny 31 compared to Dr. Petter's 116... Although this only includes stuff that I have easy access to, and is missing a few really good ones ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=198 Okay, so, XNA has quaterions, so you have {x,y,z,w} Lets say you want to turn that back into {yaw,pitch,roll} So you hit up Wikipedia and find some equations: {x,y,z,w} = {q0,q1,q2,q3} right? Well...NOOO, freaking XNA, that's not right, hmm, perhaps its alphabetical? {w,x,y,z} = {q0,q1,q2,q3}??? Once again, XNA slaps you around for nooo reason, ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=197 Sure, you've seen all sorts of crazy things in games, like guns that shoot chainsaws, chainsaws that you can then pick up and attack with. How about a boss inspired by this video: [youtube]4iHOQNNOE8M[/youtube] It'd be a simple boss, he'd start by turning of gravity, and then attack via hurling cats at you. ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=196 It's that time of year again. Half assed and a little too late, here are my IGF predictions and comments. Unfortunately it seems like there are less playable games than ever before, so many of my impressions will be based on hype, concept and screenshots :). Yes 1) Fret ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=195 So, its been a while since I posted about RE4, mostly because work and working on games has gotten in the way. But, I had two interesting ideas, one that's not really unique and one perhaps that is. First, the non-unique one, my thoughts on the game's perspective. RE4 is an ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=194 Oh Richard, thanks for trying..hehe A new comment on the post #33 "My IGF picks" is waiting for your approval http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=33 Author : Anikrichard (IP: 72.9.235.218 , server6.barronhosting.com) E-mail : anlikivanna.80@mail.ru URL : http://wwwwww.com Whois : http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=72.9.235.218 Comment: hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=193 This is a crappy entry for Gamma 256. It's a 1x32 vertical shmup expanded 4x. If you have an XBox 360 controller hooked up it should work if you press A to start the game. Otherwise press Z to start. On the X axis you are moving in RGB space. ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=190 I'm taking a break from playing and writing about RE4 at the moment. I re-read my first post on the game and was pretty dissapointed. Even though my goal was to present a unique analysis of the game, I still feel the path I'm taking is the wrong ... http://mawsoft.com/blog/?p=189
