Current Project: Tower Defense Forcefulness Game

I've noticed the guys over at Vortix Games occasionally accept a hiatus from posting on their weblog when busy amongst a given project. I intend this is sure enough understandable when you're business office of a pocket-size squad too would similar to cry for out they own got done a terrific task on their weblog - definitely i to banking concern gibe out for or hence game evolution insights. And hence I start out this post past times admitting I've been doing the same... but hey, it's non hence bad because I'm non the only one, right?!

At whatever rate, I would similar to briefly cite the novel game projection I've been working on. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 distich months agone I had the bully pleasance of coming together a distich artists inward my area, too we've since been working to pattern too construct a Tower Defense game. For the uninitiated, gameplay consists primarily of setting upwardly a serial of defenses such every bit turrets or guns too and hence watching a alluvion of enemies seek to navigate from their start seat to a given destination. This is an solely novel game genre to me, but later on having played a few games online (such every bit Pong clone!

This projection has or hence interesting challenges. For example, it is solely a 2D game; I've been learning 3D evolution for hence long that it is a welcome switch of gears. It is every bit good beingness developed for the XBox 360 using XNA Game Studio 3.0, which allows me to set my existing C# skills to use, simply inward a novel way. I role C# every solar daytime for spider web evolution but this is my showtime sense amongst XNA. Even though the target platform is the XBox 360, I computer programme to arrive playable on the PC every bit well.

I promise to let out to a greater extent than nearly the game every bit our agile design/implementation/testing rounds progress. Keep an middle out for futurity posts, fifty-fifty if they're non terribly frequent. With whatever luck, the completed game volition seem hither for your enjoyment!
