Campanile NDS Development

Fish Tank

2007-01-27T15:01:00.000+01:00

Here's the game, more infos, screenshots and latest download over here
You will notice the game is not completely finished if you rely on Insaniquarium, I'll be adding more features as time (or compos) goes...

Update : Slot 1 version availlable for R4, M3 Simply, ... Thanx to Gemma for the tests.
Update : New version, memory shortage resolved (for now), seems there are no more gfx corruption (well there may be some rotsets issues after a while, but that won't be hard to fix in next release)

Second Annual Christmas Game Coding Competition

2007-01-23T11:24:00.000+01:00

Here's the game I made for Drunken Coders' Second Annual Christmas Game Coding Competition

It's called Christmas Factory ,more infos on the link !

Couldn't test FPS online, here are my favourite entries (including mine :-p ) :

#1 : Clem, the retarderd Elf
#2 : The Sounds of Season
#3 : Rudolph
#4 : Christmas Factory
#5 : Santa's Skidoo

If you find that some great games are not here, I'm judging the theme related features, putting just a "winter gfx" isn't enough for me (don't ask which games I'm talking about, or I'll say it :-p ). Something else, this is just my opinion, and no-one should really cares...

Things are in the making... DSudoku

2006-03-22T22:22:00.000+01:00

Ok, I lost everything I made on Burger Quizz (watch out, the devkitpro uninstall is really aggressive....), so I started a new project, a Sudoku game lamely named DSudoku.
You can find more infos aout the game on the neo flash compo forum :

LATEST FILES, INCLUDING NASTY WHEEL BUG (thanx to Badablek) :

DS.GBA
NDS

Damn real life

2005-12-16T21:24:00.000+01:00

Due to personnal issues, devlopment is on pause for a (little I hope) while.

I'll have more news mid january.... It's not exactly like I'm in a hurry to finish those nds projects though that's not a real job for living :-p

I'll keep you in touch !

Burger Quizz - WIP

2005-10-10T18:55:00.000+02:00

Les questions "Sel ou poivre" sont maintenant gérées, j'en ai tapé un certain nombre (ok, juste 30 pour l'instant :-p ).

Reste à faire marcher le GBFS (je sais pas si ça marche avec les émulateurs) pour charger tout ça à la place des 2 misérables questions de test, un peu de chasse au bug et de nettoyage et je mettrai une béta plus ou moins définitive en téléchargement.

J'ai pas énormément de temps pour l'instant pour finaliser le tout, mais novembre devrait être jouable !

Burger Quizz - WIP

2005-10-07T19:22:00.000+02:00

While Mollusk is helping with some issues I have and offer homebrew scene a new great version of PA_LIB 'with inputs fixed !) I'm starting to type CSV files for the questions. It will sure take some time :-p

Have a nice day !

Edit : J'ai tapé une cinquantaine de questions, je suis crevé :-D

Edit : 70 questions pour les Nuggets, je vais passer à autre chose :-p

Burger Quizz messy update

2005-10-05T21:48:00.000+02:00

Burger Quizz update :

- Add Title screen (took me soooo long :-D )
- Add a picture for each question (need GBFS later to be really usefull)
- Tried to use 8bitText, nothing really working for now....
- small backgrounds fixes
- BUT ! It seems all inputs are broken even if I didn't touch anything in this area :-/ Buttons are not working so I guess stylus is out too.... Maybe an emulator issue though it's not working in DualiS neither in IdeaS. In fact the rom used to crash in DualiS with stylus code, so I guess it's really broken...... More news later !

Burger Quizz update

2005-10-04T16:32:00.000+02:00

Nouveauté :
- Les points sont comptés en frites
- Le timer est géré avec une sorte d'animation de burger moche pour l'instant....
- pas grand chose pour l'instant, mais j'ai enfin réussi à faire marcher mon scanner des années 60, ça va m'aider pour les graphismes :-p

What's new :
- score is now fry-based
- timer is an ugly looking animated burger
- not much though, even if I managed to have my 60's scanner to work, wich will help for gfx :-p

Edit : The texts are not mixing together anymore, thanx to Lien who told me it was not working properly ! I really appreciate people who can test on real hardware. The demo has been updated (I messed up the fries and the burger sprites, I'll fix that later)

Burger Quizz ! Small demo added

2005-09-30T19:28:00.000+02:00

Une news en français pour changer, avec ce projet assez avancé : Burger Quizz !
Les graphismees sont un peu moches, j'y travaillerai plus tard (Non je suis pas daltonien, j'ai choisi ces couleurs pour de vrai :-p )

Pour l'instant seuls les Nuggets sont gérés, mais le reste devrait suivre !

Ce qui marche :
- Moteur de QCM
- Gestion de l'écran tactile
- Temps limité par question
- Score
- Adaptation simple pour un passage à une utre langue par exemple (you don' know Jack for example)

Reste à faire :
- Gestion GBFS pour charger les questions
- Gestion du texte avec des polices un peu plus sympas
- Amélioration des graphismes
- Son
- Autres phases de jeu que les nuggets.
- Une capture d'écran qui ressemble à quelque chose :-/
- Et surtout un moyen de tester sur Hardware, IdeaS ne gère pas le stylet et la rom plante sur les autres émulateurs........ Vivement l'arrivée du MK2 !

Une première demo avec juste 2 questions, je sais pas vraiment si elle marche.... http://ben2303.free.Fr/NDS/BurgerQuizz.nds

No news dosn't mean no work :-p

2005-09-28T21:02:00.000+02:00

No news for now, but I'm working on a surprise project for french audience... Yeah I said I'll finish Trash Rally DS before doing anything else, so just blame me for that and wait for what's next !

Sprites issues....

2005-09-25T22:30:00.000+02:00

I still got the sprites issues, everything is messed up on the upper screen when I set ennemies car to more than 2... I realy don't get it, maybe it's someone that don't work with DualiS... I don't know....

Anyway, I made some code cleaning, I tried another method for switching screen, wich is better (thanx for Mollusk's Freesbee demo :-p ) and I really hope to fix the sprites trouble soon to release a new demo. Well, if I don't fix it I'll get mad and start all over again :-p

Back to work !

2005-09-25T17:30:00.000+02:00

Hi everyone, I'm back here to continue Trash Rally DS development !

I upgraded to the latest libnds and PA_Lib, and well... the code is borken, all sprites in the upper screen are messed up and everything is slowed down... It's related to ennemy cars at first sight, I must look a little deeper to find out why.

Some nice sites talked about my project, and one told that it reminds him "DeathRally", I dunno if you remember that game, but it was really great, and Trash Rally DS is soooo far from it :-p
Anyway that made me think of developping a game closer to DeatRally than this one (wich is REALLY basic), I should think a little more about it...

I'll try to have this one stable, with leveling, bonus and some stuffs before I switch to another one, even if I dunno how to really enhance the gameplay :-p

More news later !

Trash Rally DS - Paused for 2 weeks

2005-09-09T13:44:00.000+02:00

Hi !
I'mm be on holiday for th next 2 weeks, I'll try to make a couple of update today (mainly code cleaning), but I also need to pack up and do some shopping... Development will continue when I'll be back with foollowing ideas :
- 2 players mode, one on each screen with their own level, ennemys, .... Need to find some ideas to make some "fight" between the two cars (via a power-up system or something)
- fix what's still broken (leveling, barrels, ...)
- code cleaning to have real easy-to use structure (need to put a ref to every structure in the S_GAME one)
- and all the pieces of todo lists around the site :-p

Edit - Well, I had no time for update today, just thought about a couple of more todos :
- multilife system instead of 0 energy and gameover
- Testing on real hardware, the Neo Flash Team gently offer me a MK2, thanx to them !
- Look into PA_Lib 0.5 for news

See ya all soon !

Trash Rally DS - Screenshots

2005-09-06T23:08:00.000+02:00

Another screens, the silver car (you), the barrels (notice in the middle the transition between the 2 screens, it needs to be adjusted for real hardware)

By the way I wasn't able to have a good timing between the screens for the tiled backgroud with white lines, so for now they're just not there, like a no-white-line rodad where you can change lane whenever you want :-p

Feel free to ask for the demo !
