Gamedev toolkit and Level Editors

23 December 2016 in imoogiBG's Journal imoogiBG

Finally I've got a big chunk of time to program my personal projects. The last several months I was spending my mental state at work( we finally released Phoenix FD 3.0 ) and then at home trying (or wasting my time) to come up with a grand plan for a level editor that does everything: C++ code reloading, undo/r...

C++17 and Memory Mapped IO

23 December 2016 in Not dead... phantom

Weekly update #4

16 December 2016 in Floatlands devblog Ph4nt0m

DECORATIONS AND VEGETATION CHANGES This week I took the time to optimize island generator so that an island can be procedurally (re)generated in the background, it takes around 2 – 3 seconds to properly craft an island without hickups, which is quite fast considering all of the things that need to be modified doing run-time. It is time to decorate...

A review of works from 2011-2016

15 December 2016 in Journal of dbaumgart dbaumgart

So it's been five, almost six years since that last entry. I was busy for a bit there it seems, eh? Let's do a quick review of what happened to catch up to the present. 2011-2012: Dredmor With two other guys I founded Gaslamp Games. Being "the artist" I got the grandiose corporate title best-met-with-skepticism of "chief creative officer". I do...
