-DSG- Depths and the iPhone

Posted by DSG on Nov. 3, 2012, 8:51 p.m.

So, I'm transferring DEPTHS to GM:S…

…and there's a LOT of re-coding I need to do. I suppose I have, in my amateur coding style, taken full advantage of that little "treat uninitialized variables as zero" option that was available in GM8.1 and previous versions.

I gotta tell ya, it's an easy trick to code faster but definitely screwed me over. I should've known. Oh well.

It's time to upgrade to GM:S and I DO plan to make it available for iPhone (I just got an iPhone, too) and hope to have a future in being an app developer for Android and iOS systems. After all, that's where the money is and with money, I can create better games as I will have access to better software. ^^ I already completely rely on Photoshop to create the graphics I do, as I feel like I have a somewhat unique style in that I really focus on combining pixel-art with Photoshop editing. In fact, much of what I do in Photoshop has changed my mindset when it comes to taking full advantage of the variety of blend modes in GM to create unique, lightweight lighting systems in Depths.

Anyway, I'll have screens soon.

Thanks.

Also, as for S4D, I gotta say there was an awesome turnout.

I apologize for not having a submission, I spent the first month and a half devising a concept I liked and had no time to execute that idea. Eh.

Idunno.

He also stole my idea for a career choice.

I'll definitely buy it.

It's a good thing you ditched the 3D since I think the performance would be pretty bad on the devices if you kept using your own 3D method. You'd have to completely rewrite that part as well :P

Also, I have an iPhone and would like to beta test once it's ready. *nudge nudge*

It'll still be available for PC, right? I hope so. I'd even still be content if I had to pay $10 for it.

Depths Complete Code Rewrite #36. Nice to see you.

I give up on ever seeing this finished in any form within the decade. Let alone a playable demo :(.
