First GDC

I went to Game Developer Conference for the first time this year and had a blast!! I met so many amazing game developers and also some new allies! If all goes well, you'll see some new custom animations soon, as well as some attempts at getting the game funded.

I also had the opportunity to see perfect strangers playing my game, smiling, and laughing. Getting feedback is always valuable, but getting the sense we're headed in the right direction is very rewarding.

Game Updates

In addition to all the networking and inspiration, I was able to make some game updates before showing the game off. Here's what's new in version 0.7.0:

• add car and car to arena
• fix jumpy camera issue
• fix bug where Heavy powerup visual effect wouldn't show on for remote players'
• fix look and feel of some models

Next Up

The game is getting very close to the point where I can begin pitching for funding to complete it. The next update will be a big effort, but it's extremely important for demoing the game. Here are some things to look forward to:

• Online and Offline modes both playable in the same build
• Return to the room with the same players after a game is over. Streamlined game loop!
• Better lighting
• Better camera dynamics and tracking

Stay tuned!!
