I am still alive and I haven't forgotten about Skeeball. I'm getting married in 3 weeks, and with all the planning/prep and other real world stuff I haven't had much if any free time over the last few months. I appreciate all of the kind words that I have received here and via email about the software. Unfortunately the software isn't at a point where it's ready to be released, but I have made significant progress with the source code in terms of getting it to where I want it to be (adding ability to play with up to 4 players right now for certain game modes although I'm not done with that yet). The other main change that needs to be done before it is released is to make the game access an external settings file to make it easier to change options for each game. I am also really excited about the way the software is looking... for the first version I threw the visuals together pretty quickly and used a fairly generic look for the majority of the game modes. At a quick glance there really wasn't anything distinguishing one from the other other than different color backgrounds. I decided to incorporate a theme for each game type, and so far I'm really happy with the results. Here's a quick shot of an old screen grab along with the new design. The multiplier changes every second in-game, so you have to time your roll to get the best multiplier. Old "Flash" game mode New "Flash Point" game mode The concept for this theme is a bit darker than the rest of the game modes... the others are more lighthearted. Thanks again for reading and for those that have inquired about obtaining the software, rest assured I haven't forgotten about it! |
