Planetside map textures… | Tim Fuqua

https://timfuqua.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/planetside-map-textures

Producer – Programmer – Experiences. Laquo; Always have a plan (Part 2)…. Warhammer 40k – Tyranids and Cover – How does this work…. Planetside map textures…. For those of you who didn’t know it, I can code too. *gasp*. Over this last weekend, I got distracted from my CS300 assignment, and found out a cool trick with some of the Planetside files. The end result was something that looks like this:. Convert map .fat files into 1024 .dds files. Splice the 1024 .tga files into a single .tga file. Step 2: Usin...

My thoughts on game-design: 2D and why I prefer it over 3D

http://vaizards-game-design-blog.blogspot.com/2012/07/2d-and-why-i-prefer-it-over-3d.html

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Sunday, 29 July 2012. 2D and why I prefer it over 3D. Took me three months to finally find the time to write something. Not that I didn't try but I couldn't come up with interesting topics. Well now I found one, or at least I hope I did. I agree that Mario 64 was one of the best jump and runs of all time. Also the mechanics in the 2D era seemed much mo...

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Wednesday, 2 May 2012. Alright, back to my usual posting-pace. Since I've just started to write up design documents for some of my game-ideas, I thought it would be nice idea to give you my opinion on how to build such a thing. Well the most important thing first: You WILL. Need a design document (unless you know exactly what you are doing). After that...

My thoughts on game-design: Interfaces in RPGs

http://vaizards-game-design-blog.blogspot.com/2011/11/interfaces-in-rpgs.html

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Sunday, 20 November 2011. This is something I really think about a lot lately. I'm currently designing a RPG together with some other students and I am put into the position of coming up with a functional interface. So, how should it look like? This screen is from Final Fantasy VI. As in most RPGs you have four basic options what your character can do.

My thoughts on game-design: Serious Games...

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Tuesday, 28 February 2012. This has bothered me for quite some time now, so here are my thoughts on the subject. Serious games are made to teach people something. Exactly that is their purpose, nothing else. They want to teach you something. Teachers and other highly educated parts of society seem pretty amazed by the idea. The games I came across up u...

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Friday, 16 March 2012. Why you should not go on the Hero's Journey. I'm finished with my studies and currently looking for a job. So I have lots of time to play games and read books. Currently I'm reading a lot about Storytelling and general narrative mechanics. As I mentioned in the Interactive Storytelling. To play through. Games should be the me...

My thoughts on game-design: Emergent Mechanics

http://vaizards-game-design-blog.blogspot.com/2012/02/emergent-mechanics.html

My thoughts on game-design. Just some random ideas and other things that come to my mind on the topics of game-design, storytelling, and games in general. Thursday, 2 February 2012. Emergent mechanics are mechanics that sound simple at first but allow a much deeper gameplay than you would think on your first glimpse. Many board games make use of this kind of mechanics. Often they have simple rules you can quickly understand, but as you play the game you discover many dynamics those rules allow. It's incr...
