Project GAWIN - First screen

Ok, this is the game I'm working on now. Inspiration for this game comes from such titles as Elite/Frontier, Privater. Google is your friend if you don't know this games ;). As a short description I can tell you that action of this games (and my also) is located in space, you are the owner of spaceship and you can travel to different solar systems, trading, exploring, fighting pirates etc. I want the same to be in my game plus some more ;), one thing what will be different is view. In my game you won't sit in your ship's cockpit, to simplify my work a bit I want to make a view like in homeworld. As for name.. GAWIN is acronym - Game Without Any Interesting Name, I've just switched A with W, so it sounds better. When I will come up with some story then maybe this GAWIN will mean something. Anyway here is first screen :


The dwarf and text are just 2D gui test stuff (yes this is still my own furion engine written in java), what you can see is star (the biggest sphere in the center) and two planets, one planet (this bigger one) has one moon. Engine has it's own scenegraph implemented so planets are revolving around star and moon is revolving around it's planet and around star.

My inactivity on blog

Sorry for my inactivity on blog lately. I'm wondering if anyone is reading this blog anyway.. Hey people - if you read my words give me a sign ;) I have made a pool, but nobody participated, at last now, when I'm writing this words..

As for my new game - it's slowly, but steadily advancing. I will post some screens in near future.

And I have problems with giving titles to my posts..

I have internet again :)

The movement is finished, my (better) internet connection is working again :)

Regarding my job as a game developer, I'm still waiting for their response... Well, if they don't answer I will have more time for my own game projects. I have told a friend about my new game idea, her reaction was enthusiastic and she want to take a part in this project ;). If I only had time..

6 July - I'm still alive :)

The move is almost at the end, I think that it will be finished on next Saturday. As for my Internet connection at the new home, all installation will be made next Friday(13 - my lucky day).

Also in July I have practices in some software development company, from 9 am to 5 pm I'm developing web portal for newspaper called "Echo Miasta" (Echo of City). I'm mainly creating components for Joomle! (PHP + MySQL).

And there is also one nice thing. Recently I have been contacted by company who offered me a job as a game developer :). If they take me I will be creating mobile games in java for them. First I will be given some project testing my knowledge and abilities and if they like it then I will be professional game developer ;) .

I would like also to thanks people for buying my games :). It's nice to read all this sales confirmations :).
