A slow 2-month period

As I am currently on a driving course as a National Service Personal, I am required to stay in my camp for 6 days of a week. Thanks to this, development of Candida has hit yet another slow period since the days of my Basic Military Training.

Nonetheless, development on Candida will continue. Hopefully the pace will pick up after my driving course =).

As a rough estimate, the game is about 35% completed.

Major sigh of relief

For the past few night I've been busy fixing my new Camera class (which renders the scene to a Bitmap) so it wouldn't undo my efforts of the past several months. This new camera class is intended for a number of features such as zooming in and out, and rotation(hopefully). While these features has not been implemented yet, at the very least the Camera class no longer screws up the physics of the game(joy!).

Features implemented:
-States system for various game screens
- player control via controller class
- circle to plane collision detection and reaction with collision handling system
- main character sprite animation
- basic level class
- basic camera that works with Bitmap

Progress, progress. Bugs.

As can be seen, Project Candida is still in production. The screenshot shows about a quarter of the tutorial level.

Things are going reasonably well (considering the fact that I'm juggling this project with army life), if all goes well, this project would be more or less done in a few more months =D.

On the less sunny side, bugs related to collision are a real pain T.T

Off to the Army!

The platform engine for White Angel is more or less done; so is the sprite of the main character herself. Unfortunately, development will be slowed down a lot, thanks to enlistment to the Army for 2 years.

Despite that, development for White Angel and FreeRunning will still continue during the weekends. Combined with the fact that the underlying engine is near completion, we just might be seeing the release of both games next year!

Wish me luck =) !
