So Hi Again!<br />
<br />
I made a game for a Russian contest "End of The World 2012". I made it in 5 days.<br />
It's a quick metroidvania prototype about a strange accident on Station 2012 and a hero to investigate the matter. Why did he go there? Is it a kind of a mision? Someone sent him? Or did he have intention to visit the long forgotten place? Pirate? Scientist? Trooper? Politician? What is he seeking there? Who knows, even I don't know yet. :D<br />
<br />
Whatever anybody says I'm proud of this small but nice game - at least I was able to finish something in 5 days I couldn't in 4 years!<br />
<br />

You may have heard about Minitroid Demo <br /><br /><object style="height: 320px; width: 400px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pGgApXz0X68?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pGgApXz0X68?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="400" height="320"></object><br /><br />So the author made this game in Construct! Must admit he's working much better with the program than me. He found an optimal decision for his fan game - pixel graphics, while I tried to make it HD. Years passed and only now I started to understand what should I really do to achieve a good result! Still thinking out how to finish the game without needing to rewrite it from scratch again! D: I'm also thinking about making my own game from this, so probably it won't be X-Child anymore! I suspect it will be something like A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda, but easier and PC only(great pity).<br /><br />Another inspiration was a video of an untitled Unity based game which made me happy, just look at how their hero looks much like mine! :D This is awesome! So I decided to return my mind back and get to work... NOW!<br /><br /><object style="height: 320px; width: 400px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AVYxpCGVwNI?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AVYxpCGVwNI?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="400" height="320"></object>Android-Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771475052951336969noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281268405693191118.post-10227192081776972562010-11-04T05:11:00.000-07:002010-11-04T05:22:50.098-07:00Bad NewsSorry for being away for too long, I didn't do what I promised because of engine instability and my laziness.

How do you do? Was a very cool Xmas, nah? I had a cool Xmas too! Lots of work as usual, got some new clients and that means new recordings. ;p Still cannot add a "News" word to my post header because I still have no news for you - very hard to work with an unfinished engine plus I'm thinking about reducing texture sizes - they've gone too heavy. The demo plays with 640x480 windowed resolution and lags a little bit but I don't think that's a great prob for me so I suspect there will be some news in February. Not saying goodbye, maybe I'll write something else this month. See ya! :)Android-Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771475052951336969noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281268405693191118.post-87921119966316801152009-12-18T11:25:00.000-08:002009-12-18T11:35:25.142-08:00DecemberHello visitor! Long time no see! I decided to call this post "December", just "December" because there are no news at all. I still have a lot of job to do(many clients want to record their songs for Christmas), in short, no progress at all. You'll probably ask me why am I still posting. The project is not dead and still waiting for it's refreshing. I simply don't want to cancel this project because I know it will be awesome. I will not make any surprises this Christmas but I hope to bring you the demo on January(almost whole January is free for me). Cheers visitor and don't lose your hope!

I have made a great progress, even greater than before but there are some changes so I have to remake my engine because it's not optimized enough so the system requirements are very high(see June News! Post #2), some codes are broken and so on. I played some games recently("Aquaria", "Braid", "Spine World", "The Underside on TIG Source" , "Scary Girl") and noticed that all games are highly detailed but very stabil. I understood that I've made a lot of mistakes in my engine.<br />So I decided to release a small tech demo without any plot closer to October. Why October? First of all, it's second half July and I've got some shows on August in Sochi city (I spend my time on rehearsals last weeks), I have loads of work(my recording studio also takes much time), then I'll leave for Moscow for a while. When I arrive at home, I'll finish the demo and post it here, in my Metroid: The X-Child Blog. After that I'm going to rewrite the whole code and redo all the graphics but that'll be another story. <br />Visitor, I need your support - spread a word about this game or become a follower, that will really warm my heart up and give some new strength to work on the engine! <br />Cheers Visitor and see you on "August News"! :)Android-Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771475052951336969noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281268405693191118.post-42031558451609799352009-07-01T14:34:00.000-07:002009-08-14T19:35:32.500-07:00July News!Hello again visitor! It's July and I have a bunch of news for today!<br />While I was working on the engine I've got a lot of advices from people around.

Here are some news!<br /><br />1)"Made in <a href="http://blogs.ign.com/Android-Music/">IGN</a>"! :D<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ign.com/"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 59px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xZYBmyZcD7KvFZi72SZtJjClg-8rENzSXCM7OUWA0RzJGx4zOjIGyK6lpkN5S7xAQE9Oh3AWqnU_HFMXKATd83jZnwDXyg1JYnsIa6N6BTpEqy5b9f5g6h7AqQZFU0eTpnYHj_6xyYfF/s400/IGN.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347624705856810482" /></a><br />Now you can find all news related to my games on <a href="http://blogs.ign.com/Android-Music/">IGN</a>! Don't forget about my main site <a href="http://android-music.ucoz.com/">android-music.ucoz.com</a> ! I'll be very glad to see your comments in my guestbook! :)<br />2) Some small progress as always! Making some cinematics, here are some screenshots!<br /><a href="http://ioj.com/275760/tmp_2xnZN.jpg"><img src="http://t.ioj.com/tmp_2xnZN/275760/tmp_2xnZN.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="http://ioj.com/777074/spaceship.jpg"><img src="http://t.ioj.com/spaceship/777074/spaceship.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />Those screenshots are a little bit outdated. I've posted them to show you some signs of progress and not to spoil the game! Of course those screenies are causing a lot of questions! That makes some sense! :) There will be some fresh ones on July.<br />3) Welcome our first follower! Congratulations Matt, you're the first of several hundreds of people who watched the blog and decided to follow this blog!<br />You can also become the follower of this blog, dear guest! Feel free to join the blog, get RSS and surely post comments!<br />4) There will be a site update soon! Two clues: it will become larger and it will become brighter! :) All the information goes with the "July News!" post.<br /><br />Unfortunately I've got no videos for today because most of my attention goes to the trailer! However there will be some short demos in the "July News!" post! Still not posting the deadline to avoid some unnecessary moments!<br /><br />Now to the most interesting!<br />Wanna become a play tester of this engine? You can still download <a href="http://ioj.com/313401/1hbj33thlvc.zip">this little tech demo prebuild</a>(was made in an hour) so you can find out if your computer will be able to run the main tech demo. I'll be posting links to some new, more optimized demos, made in an hour or two. To run this demo you need to have a video card with P.S. 2.0 shader support, OGG Vorbis audio format support(.ogg - I'm sure you have it) and latest DirectX 9.0 build. My computer runs the game very well with AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (1.96 Mhz) processor, nVidia Geforce 6600 video card and DDR 1GB RAM.<br /><br />That's all for now! Gotta go, a lot of work awaits! >:D<br />Comments are welcome! :)Android-Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771475052951336969noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281268405693191118.post-59377953831194605052009-06-04T05:05:00.000-07:002009-06-06T13:36:52.077-07:00June News!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://android-music.ucoz.com/Art/AN-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 588px; height: 294px;" src="http://android-music.ucoz.com/Art/AN-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Hello again! It's June already! That means only one thing - holidaaaaays! Did you think how are you going to spend your holidays? One advice: if you're planning to spend your holidays sitting in front of blue display, you're losing your time! Stand up, take your phone and book a ticket to the sea! Ok, now to the news!<br /><br />Some minor changes as usual: <br /><br />1) Reworked the site a bit - at least there's more information about the project!<br />2) Reworked the engine again - there were some small bugs - thanks to play testers!<br />3) The demo is growing - it's 6 mb already!<br />4) Bad news - there will be no Game Boy Advanced version and no Flash version. Concentrated on the main object - exe.<br />5) Working on a trailer - a guy with a powerful 4 core cpu and superb Geforce card agreed to help me! :)<br />6) Members page is no more since I decided to work on the game alone for a while because there is no work for other members yet.<br /><br />Some interesting facts:<br /><br />1) 342 people were willing to test the engine, even that number was rather big for me(it's very hard to choose play testers)! Today there are 3 play testers, each of them has a great game playing experience!<br />2) I gave a show with some of the "Metroid'y" tunes on a local bike fest! Don't think there are only electronic tracks in the game list! ;)<br />3) I'm a bad student - most of my copy-books were drawn all over with the game concepts!<br /><br />There will be fresh screenshots this month in "June News! Post #2"!<br />Check my tunes on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/androidindustries">myspace</a>!<br />Cheers a lot!Android-Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771475052951336969noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281268405693191118.post-21678487189472873132009-05-21T19:28:00.000-07:002009-05-21T21:14:19.099-07:00May News!

Btw I was surprised too see posts in my blog! :)<br />I was away for several months so I didn't have time to edit my posts here!
