El Bumpo. Any progress report,Sergant Axchno?

Nothing much to report. Finished GDC prototype, starting upgrade game. Busy with school. The usual.

Nuff said.

I know i havent contributed to this topic much, but i've been following it for a while and have a good idea of how it works. can i be on the testers list?

this reminds me of a game. where this guy is ur friend but u can hurt him and place bombs everywhere and he goes flying around.

btw good idea

That is called Interactive buddy my dear friend. and also i would like to see that game

You realize that your quoting from page 1, right?

Been a while,Axcho.Any report so far?Just wondering.

Thanks for the concept, sacred, I'll take care of it later.

So, an update:
I just stayed up very late last night trying to finish my upgrade game in time for the contest at JIG. Unfortunately I did not finish in time.

But in a sudden twist of fate, the deadline was extended by two weeks because of a lack of quality entries! So I'll continue to work on the upgrade game until it is finished.

This means that I will not be starting the Dejeweled Engine Prototype until later. On the last week or so of March, when I have a break from school, I plan to use the time to work on the Dejeweled prototype. If I can start on it before that week, great, but I can't promise anything until then.

Thanks for waiting.

hey my short ragdoll thing still isnt up there >:(

Sorry, I'll try to get it there soon.

[EDIT]

Okay, I watched the animation, and it's pretty good in terms of animating quality, but I'm not sure what's going on there. I see a block pushing a ragdoll up and then dropping away. I don't see what sort of mechanisms are causing that action (a counterweight, a motor, a rocket?), or what the effect is (ragdoll crushing, switch flipping?). So at the moment I'm not getting much from it. Do you want to explain a bit more of what you were going for?

Wow, the prize is pretty good. If only I had Flash.

well, when the block pushes him up into the air, it is an example as to how a ragdoll reacts to a force exerted on it, then, when it falls and hits the ground, it is an example as to the ragdoll's reaction to gravity making it fall straight to the ground, 9.8 meters(around there) per second...
