Two ... Days ...

Well, my time has run out. Happy New Years to all! I'll be at Magfest soon. My demo is as ready as it will ever be. Special thanks to Mike Thal for providing music for this game! It will be hard to hear the music in the crowded convention hall, but it will be there all the same. Most of the sound in the game will be scratch tracks, but it should get the point across. Please tell your friends!

Two... Weeks...

Well I uploaded the new trailer on time, but there were problems. The game worked just fine, but the upload to Youtube just went haywire. Not only did it compress it to a 4:3 ratio, but it put it off center to the right. I have no idea what happened. I tried to second upload, but the same thing happened.

So, if anyone out there in internetland has some experience and can help me with this, please email me at mike at xanthous ray games dot com.

Moving on, I still have to get things ready for Magfest, so there will be a lot of stuff going on in the back here. I still need to print shirts, posters, flyer and buttons. It's going to be mad!  On top of that, there is a bunch of family stuff that is going down and I'm going to have to go out of state for a few days to deal with it.

Everyone please be patient with future updates.

Maya Breaker Development VLog 6: Rundown of the Demo

As mentioned before, I brought a demo to the IGDA meeting this month in Hoboken. Here is a rundown of everything in the current demo.

Maya Breaker Vlog 5 Demo Nights

Here is the screenshot from the game at final resolution. As you can see the character is now fully rendered, and the backgrounds and block are at full size with full color. This is meant to be run full screen on an average monitor. Capturing gamemaker footage with FRAPS seems to be problematic. I can't get all the sprites and effects to appear at once. I will have to look into other ways of getting shots.

In the meantime, enjoy this. More news soon.
