Hey Everyone!
Well, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for (and the one I've been dreading). We've finally got a demo together, but for some reason, it feels rushed. I left the sound out because it wasn't going too well, and there's a random crash that keeps occuring every once and a w…

Hey everyone!
Well, it would seem I fell off the page.... damn. Anyways, I've been at work 9 hours everyday for the past week, which sucks ass (although 800+ dollar paychecks are nice[grin])

Hey everyone!
Today's entry is pretty boring, I haven't really done anything programming wise for A22 for about 2 days (girlfriend just got back from Colorado, so we've been catching up), so there's no cool new screens for you guys to see.

Wow, not having internet sucks ass. Many people say that not having the forums as a distraction are a good thing, resulting in greater productivity... those people are wrong. On more than one occasion, I walked away from my computer, because I got tired of coding, and had nothing to …

Hey everyone!
So today Mark decided that the current terrain in A22 is boring and too 'perfect', so, after much discussion, he finally convinced me to try a technique he thought up to make the terrain more.... rough.

Sorry I have been neglecting my daily journal posts, I was just informed a few days ago that I was actually hired full-time at my job rather than part-time, so now by law I'm required to work at least 40 hours a week, which means an 8 hour day, which means not much programming is going…

Hey everyone!
Just a quick little entry here to commemorate an epic first. My AI controlled fighter was able to successfully complete a simple "kill all the enemies" mission all by itself, with no input from me, and I couldn't be prouder of the little guy.... *sniff* they grow up so fast.....

Hey everyone!
This is a pretty small/meaningless entry, but I had to take a break from AI coding, because I can only take it for so long. Anyways, I decided I would go over how the AI works for the planes in A22, and hopefully in the process I'll solve some of my problems...

Unfortunately, I don't have a cool screenshot for you guys tonight. I was going to get the cool new HUD that Mark drew up working tonight, but unfortunately, the URL's he provided were over Xfire, and when we started to play Counter-Strike: Source, that window went away, so I didn't h…

Hey everyone,
I haven't been able to work on A22 for the past 2 days because of a crazy work schedule, but I did put together a video to bring you guys up to speed with how the game looks while running, I even included a clip of the Nuclear Cannon firing, which is really cool looking.

Thanks to Programmer16, I discovered a few bugs that were sapping FPS, and in the process, found a couple other inefficient things that were eating up frames.

So I've been getting paranoid lately about how well the Angels 22 engine will work on a lower end system, or for that matter any computer other than my own. So today I spent some time going through the renderer and making a few little tweaks to get the most FPS out of the thing, and I…
