And you won’t …. It’s finally here. You can download Neuculi from either YoYoGames or GameJolt. Have Fun!

Neuculi Preview 4

4th Neuculi preview video. As you can see, I got some new music, and I now have 3 pieces (2 normal, 1 for the boss). You’ll only hear one of the normal ones, and the boss theme, because I’m too bad at the game (or maybe it’s too hard now) to make it past the first boss. Lol 😛

Anyway, you can also see the updated highscores system, and a new options menu which allows you to toggle various settings. Also implemented an option for continuous shooting (thanks to Trollsplatterer’s input) which changes the space bar action from having to be held down to toggling firing on/off.

Also,  in case you haven’t noticed: Today’s date is 1/11/11.

Surfaces Explained – Magnifying Glass

Okay, so I released this video a while ago, but I thought it would be good to run it again.

In this Surfaces Explained tutorial, I teach you how to go about making a magnifying glass using two surfaces and a sprite. Note that in the example, the sprite is a circle, but you can make it anything you want, as long as the ‘magnified’ parts are white, outlines are black, and everything else is transparent. Make sure you have Annotations enabled, they will provide tips during the ‘math’ section.

Cheers,
