New Dev

[erico]

Hello everyone,

since I could not find any ´introduction´ thread, I thought to say hello here.
Just got a caanoo last week and have been looking for places to be with it.
Wonderful piece of hardware and I can do some code on it too.

Hope I can do something for the machine and community.

Welcome aboard erico, dont forget #caanoo on efnet if you like to irc.

Hope I can do something for the machine and community.

Welcome, what kind of project(s) do you plan to work on?

 

[erico]

First project is a game. platformer, hope to get it going 4 players.

I have been occasionally working on it for last couple month, development should pick up latter this year but it may take some time to complete. I´m currently trying to raise funds for it so I can work on full time.

It´s going to be out for desktops and I sure wanna make a caanoo port.
I should be running some tests on the caanoo this week as I just got the handheld.

 

[kayuz]

hi! welcome!
very good entry

 

[Kavb]

Sounds interesting erico!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

 

[erico]

thanks everyone for the hello,

things are in pre-production for main desktops, I should start running some general caanoo tests soon as I wanna make sure the code goes along well compatible.
but it will take a while for anything playable,
thanks again!

 

[kayuz]

nothing
new devs are always welcome in!

 

[erico]

Oh well, no funding for a bigger project, so it seems I have to start small....ok, it should work anyways.
Here is a pic of the core things going. Nothing mind blasting or deep, just a set o casual pocket games :rolleyes:

ops,cant see how to add attaches here other then something already online somewhere.
pics, will come later.

host in mediafire
how big is the file that you want to charge?

host in mediafire
how big is the file that you want to charge?

som 30kb, just jpg screenshot kind of thing.
I don´t quite feel comfortable uploading stuff to general services, or just I´m not used to.

Let me take a look into it...

 

[erico]

oh, mediafire is quite horrible, I got the file there, but if I try display it dosen´t find it.
downloading the pic seems ok.
looots of ads poping out everycorner

Got a domain yesterday and working out a page, could host there or on my google pages down the link of my signature.
tried google pages and it semms it works.
that might be better...

EDIT:WOW! it's bautiful, what is it?

 

[erico]

It is a simple pocket game.
Single screen stuff score based but with some baddies and bosses.
I hope the online score works out too.

I plan a series of 10 games.
I hope to sell each for a buck for desktops and the likes, but caanoo gets a free ride. :rolleyes:

pad, analog joy and keyboard works great, I´m fine tunning the g-sensor on the caanoo, it´s a bit more work there, specially couse I have to reset it everytime I run a test.

Good you liked, it´s 16bit based hehe

edit: you can see the googlepages link I posted up there right? I hosted the image down my page.

 

[kayuz]

yeah, i see the pic on your site
IT'S VERY wonderful to know that caanoo users can get these littles and nices games for free
see forward to try them

 

[monstercameron]

if you want i could host the files for you.

 

[erico]

Thanks for the offer,

I will get a server service soon to have my domain up, should be able to host there.
The google pages link didn´t hold long...
