Here’s my base game code…

…if I decide to use it!

Last time I wrote everything from scratch but it was hard and I might only get 24 hours this year – so I decided to take apart my indie game Diorama to create a bare bones environment. This was a far bigger deal than expected as removing the licensed network component hurt! The base code contains land generation and saving, player collision, raycasting, boolean modification of the scenery (left + right mouse buttons) and particles.

While this seems quite a bit for base code, I know its the equivalent of a few clicks in GameMaker or Unity so philosophically I feel happy

Yep, I think it seems like a bit more than ‘base code’ to me. It would please me if Ludum Dare wasn’t so lax.

C’mon, mate! Let the guy use his base code!

Making complete game > making everything from scratch. Serious business.

I think this looks gorgeous. I am a big fan of games with giant cubes and… stuff. Really chunky and colorful, I especially dig the wind waker style smoke. I can’t wait to see what you’re concocting!
