Mythruna (myth + rune + a) is a game under development attempting to combine serious role playing elements with an endless, living, and completely modifiable randomly generated sandbox world. When completed, Mythruna will be a unique gaming experience.

The Transvoxel Algorithm is a method for seamlessly stitching together neighboring triangle meshes generated from voxel data at differing resolutions so that level of detail (LOD) can be used with large voxel-based datasets such as volumetric terrain in next-generation video games. The algorithm was invented by Eric Lengyel in 2009 and implemented in the C4 Engine. This article provides a high-level overview of the Transvoxel Algorithm, links to additional information, and data tables that can assist in an implementation.

This template supplies basic infrastructure that a good web game can be built on, so that as the game developer, you can just get on with writing that game.

Hack & Slash is a Unity3d tutorial series with focus on creating a basic, but playable RPG style game. We will start with a few basic scripts to get use to C# scripting, but then gradually go deeper into the language as we learn such topics as Object Oriented Programming (OOP).

HTML5 games are here today, and rapidly increasing in complexity. Impressive demos are everywhere, and prominent titles like Gun Bros and Angry Birds prove that it's possible to create competitive gaming experiences in the browser. Games like these are possible thanks largely to the modern web stack which includes WebGL, the Web Audio API, Web Sockets and others.

BrowserQuest is a tribute to classic video-games with a multiplayer twist. You play as a young warrior driven by the thrill of adventure. No princess to save here, just a dangerous world filled with treasures to discover. And it’s all done in glorious HTML5 and JavaScript.

This table contains primarily HTML5 based game engines and frameworks.

In these 2 tutorials hallsofvallhalla teach us to deploy and use Socket.io to build Realtime communication accross the network, to sync the players and the server.

CocosBuilder is a free tool for graphically laying out sprites, layers and scenes for Cocos2D iPhone and Mac. It’s ideal for quickly and accurately creating menus and other parts of the interface, but can also be used to create levels, particle systems or any other kind of Cocos2D node graphs.

Accidental Noise Library is a library for generating Perlin noise and other forms of noise in a modular fashion. Functions provide 2D, 3D, 4D and 6D variants, and provide an interface for chaining functions together to build up complex functions out of simple pieces. ANL provides function sets that output either double-precision floating point values (for working with the noise signals directly) or RGBA values (for compositing noise functions into RGBA colors.) Various modules are provided to generate, modify, combine, and transform functions to produce a complex output.

In this tutorial hallsofvallhalla used Impact engine, a html5, Javascript game engine, that take care of everythings, it allows you to develop HTML5 Games for desktop and mobile browsers.

Scape is the name of a proof-of-concept terrain editor I developed as part of my thesis work at W!Games in 2008. The terrain editor allows the user to sculpt large terrains using procedural brushes in real-time. Under the hood, the GPU is not only used to render the heightfield terrain, but also to execute the heightfield manipulations, resulting in major speedups over CPU-based approaches.

The aim of this document is to describe an accurate method of generating soft shadows in a 2D environment. The shadows are created on the fly via geometry as opposed to traditional 2D shadow methods, which typically use shadow sprites or other image based methods. This method takes advantage of several features available in the core OpenGL API, but is by no means restricted to this platform. Direct3D would also be a suitable rendering API, and the concepts and reasoning behind the various rendering stages should hopefully be clear enough that a reader can make the conversion without too much hassle.

Up until fairly recent years, game programmers have consistently used a deep class hierarchy to represent game entities. The tide is beginning to shift from this use of deep hierarchies to a variety of methods that compose a game entity object as an aggregation of components. This article explains what this means, and explores some of the benefits and practical considerations of such an approach. I will describe my personal experience in implementing this system on a large code base, including how to sell the idea to other programmers and management.

In this article I attempt to explain path symmetry: a property of uniform-cost grid maps and other regular search domains which can significantly slow down pathfinding.

Here is my list of cocos2d open source games and programming resources for various purposes in cocos2d development. I hope it will help you to speed up learning and developing your games using this fantastic framework as it helped me making iUridium.

CCTMXTiledMap is useful, but it's absurdly slow for large maps, thus, HKTMXTiledMap is born. By pushing only polygons needed to the GPU, it drastically reduces render times by the GPU. Currently, it only supports orthogonal maps (no hex or isometric maps). Also added to it is animation functionality. This allows you to have data-driven animated tiles as done through the Tile Properties.

t the heart of an isometric game is a map of tiles. This can either be a long linear list where, for example, the first 10 items are the first row, the second 10 items are the next row and so on. Alternatively, you could use a list of 'rows', where each row is a list of tiles. In this tutorial, we will use this second approach.

Hello, my name is Eirik Suhrke, and I write music for video games.
I started writing simple midi songs for never to be completed rpg-maker games ca. year 2000, and composing has since become a job as well as my hobby.
A few years ago I also started releasing video game influenced music under the moniker Phlogiston, and have accumulated a fanbase of about 15.000 people so far (or so says last.fm).

ASEPRITE (aka ASE, Allegro Sprite Editor) is an open source program to create animated sprites & pixel art. Sprites are little images that can be used in your website or in a video game.

We have a hundred ideas for games but we’re only two full time people here at Focused Apps. So how do we choose what to work on next? What ideas do we spend time prototyping, and which projects do we push forward to market? We developed our own ‘points out of ten’ scoring system called the ‘FAM’ score. FAM stands for Fun, Ability (our ability to produce and sell the game), and Market (which includes monetization). We award 0 to 3 points in each category: 0=bad; 1=OK; 2=good; 3=fantastic, leaving 1 bonus point to add if we think there’s some factor so super awesome it deserves another point.

Choosing NME opens almost endless opportunities.
