Hello! We have been working towards a show off for slitherine (http://www.slitherine.com/). New in this release is a totaly new GUI, a couple of new features, several new feedbacks, a new level and Fog of War. Since I been working nonstop last week with this release I didn’t have time to make an awsome trailer for it but here is a screenshot of it, now I’ll go to sleep 
Some people have been working on a new GUI for Cause of War while others is down at Gamescom in Cologne, creating contacts and discussing future deals.
This video is only a sneakpeak, meaning that we still have alot of tuning to do on it. Anyway, enjoy!
I just got back to work at school with Johan Norberg to convert the art project we made a couple of weeks ago to Unity3D. Johan have managed to get Microsoft Surface running with Unity3D and hopefully we can get more production out of it then XNA.
When I heard of Starcraft 2 coming I immediatelymade plans to recreate one of my favourite maps for Starcraft 1. It was called Starship Troopers and was a team survival map.
Now when starcraft 2 was released I went to work and spent last 2 days creating this map including several of my own ideas of how to expand the gameplay of the map.
I am truly satisfied with the result altough I am sad that Blizzard is sorting all the hosted maps on Battle.net in popularity, meaning that my map, since it’s new is getting at the bottom of the list. Hopefully I will get it played shorty.
Last week when I was walking in Linköping a guy ran up to me and asked where I got my t-shirt from. “uhm, I bought it on dress-for-less” “oh, okey, beacuse I have a relative that sells those t-shirts in Stockholm, he just opened the store there.” Then he gave me the card of the store, Venine ( http://www.venine.se/se/ ). I had a look at and found out that they had a fantastic sortiment of good looking cloths.
Today I got my order from them!
I have been wanting to get a tattoo for a couple a years now, I was thinking about “hakuna matata” “There are now worries”, meaning not that I am living like this, beacuse I am a very worried person so instead I thought I would see this in the mirror each morning thinking that I can relax and stop worrying.
Hakuna Matata is a Swahili expression:
..Altough I couldn’t get satisfied with the look of the symbolso instead I came up with another tattoo for now.
I once had a very dear black bunny named Emo. He was a very special little fellah and a very personal bunny, he came to my life in a time of need and stayed for a year before he died beacuse of sickness, very sad indeed..
Anyway I must have a tattoo to remind me of this cute little fellah and the time when he was with me. I asked my friend Sonny Hamberg to paint a cartoon bunny with some Emo looks and he did an amazing job I must say, here is the result and now I must head to the tattoo studio!
We are talking about doing a new GUI for Cause of War, not 100% new but atleast rearrange it a bit. Robin Flodin has been working on this. He made this 1st mockup today:
I thought it was looking good but was still a bit big and clumsy, my fingers went itchy so I made a mockup myself hopefully Robin will like it, here it is:
Hey! I thought we were a little thin of photage from the game so I compiled a little replay of my last skirmish game, Enjoy!
10 days ago I got a call from school asking if I could join in on the creating of two projects for Microsoft Surface. This was a co-op between the school(HGO) and Microsoft. One project was about creating a networkgame, mostly to show the availability for networks on a Microsoft Surface. The second project was more of an fancy artproject, designed by our professor, Steven Bachelor..
With a group of two digital artists, two programmers(me included) and Steven as supervisor we devide the work into two groups where I, along with one artist, Jona got the main responsibility for the networkgame which was to be Battlehips(demand from teachers). The other two guys, Johan and Tobias got the main responsibility for the “art project”.
Now after some 10 days of intensive working we finaly reached some satisfying results. Everything have been working out wonderful, It has been superfun to play around with the Microsoft Surface and the guys have been great to work with.
Both projects is at this moment being shown at “Almedalsveckan 2010″ by the Microsoft team.
So I made this game in XNA today and would like a restartfunction for it but the time is short. So how can I solve this in a quick and easy way?
The solution is to write a simple windows application, takes about 1 minute. All I need to do is to add a functioncall to terminate the program where I want it to restart and then the windowsapp will force it to start again.
First, open notepad or any other writer.
Add these 3 lines:
START “title” /wait program
START “” Run
EXIT
.. The first line starts commandwindow named title, loads an application named program and waits for it to terminate. Once it’s terminated it will start a program named Run and exit itself.
If I save this notepadfile as Run.cmd in the same folder as my application I want to restart, it will force the program to restart each time its terminated.
Thats it, try it out and good luck
