Been a while since I posted something. I’ve recently graduated, married, and have a child on the way, so its been pretty busy!  So back in May, my group finished our senior game project, where we developed a game in C++ and Ogre3D.  We really wanted to try out making our own engine for this game, so it’s not as complete as we would have liked. It was a fun process, and we learned a lot trying to tackle the engine building process. My partners are a bit goofy, but awesome, so our video is entertaining at least.  Hope you enjoy!

Things I got to play with:

• Lighting
• Toon shaders using GLSL
• Graphical User Interfaces using MyGUI
• API comments written in Russian!
• Xbox controller integration
• Projectile physics
• And much more!

Main difficulties / challenges:

• Memory management / run time complexity
• Lighting / custom shaders
• Art Assets (we’re not artists)
