Hey!

Well, I’m VAMflax, or… Jamie Lowes. I’m a game programmer, check my stuff at jamielowesdev.com. I’ve just tonight started an indie gaming brand, VAMflax.com.

I’m working on Chopper Mike, it’ll be rad once it’s done. Should be out on Android and iOS, and I’ll probably do a web/PC version at some point too.

Give the micro-demo a wang!

I’m well up for this Ludum Dare business. I’ll probably enter the Jam to start, Rancho Relaxo style.

I’ll be using:

Unity
sfxr
nanoloop
Blender
MS Paint, if I need textures!!
And I’ll be aiming to use some Google Web Fonts, because they rule!

Take it easy!

J-Dogg

Thought I’d prototype, in a rapid manner, in prep for LD24.

Made a boat control test in Unity, way happy with it.

Need to stop doing these if I’m going to get Chopper Mike done, but… they’re so much fun…!!

If your theme tune requires singing, is it okay for other people to sing too. Or in the solo comp do you have to do the singing yourself…?

Okay, I’m going untextured for this game. In the interests of not messing about with shaders in Unity I hereby declare and share this shader for lit vertex colours…

Shader "Custom/VertexColourLit"
 {
 SubShader
 {
 BindChannels
 {
 Bind "vertex", vertex
 Bind "normal", normal
 Bind "color", color
 }
 
 Pass
 {
 ColorMaterial AmbientAndDiffuse

Lighting On
 }
 }
 }

And this one for lit verts with a specified colour, yay…

Shader "Custom/ColourLit"
 {
 Properties
 {
 _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
 }
 
 SubShader
 {
 Pass
 {
 Material
 {
 Diffuse [_Color]
 Ambient [_Color]
 }
 
 Lighting On
 }
 }
 }

Fired up Garageband, this came out…

Okay…

Level begins. Kill all the enemies except the Queen. Mate with the Queen. Play next level as your mutated offspring…

BAM!!!

Core state and splash box done!

Want to get the guff out the way as I think the game out…

Woo, a box!

First smash at a tune… it’s not good, but it’s a tick in a box. Yay!!

Menu screen next… Still not thought the game through completely…

With concept… GET DAT QUEEN!!

Oh yeah….!! I got that SuperCoreScript, and I totally called resetForNewGame… weeeeeeee-wooooooo!!

Okay, it’s a side scroller, and here’s the first stage…

bool poop = Input.GetKey( KeyCode.D );

if( poop )
{
Debug.Log( “POOP” );
}

Have follow cam, shadow and collision boundary…
