Falling Images

2012-01-15T07:05:00.000-08:00

Another live wallpaper released. This idea has long been on my mind, in the end I managed to make it - wallpaper, which displays images from the phone, adds a frame (similar to the "classic" photographs), and animates them in 3D space. You can download it here.
I have an idea for another wallpaper that I must try to accomplish before I make any serious project (yes I think about another games however i dont have much time lately).

Fighting with compatibility

After long searching cause why Trace_On don't want to load textures on older version of android I find out that the problem was in main thread, looks like it has little bigger priority than other threads in Android 1.6.
I'll try to add few new levels in next update, if they pass tests.

Snowing wallpaper

Being in Christmas mood i have decided to write new, short project - live wallpaper.
The effect of this idea can be seen at Android Market here.
It look pretty decent. I have decided to use in this project the Airpush as ads provider because it is best solution for this type of application without user interface. The only place where usual ads can be put is settings screen,
but how many times peoples look into it?

Update 1 to Trace_on

I have just released Trace_On v1.1 with some improvement. I have fixed freeze issue - when game don't respond to touch events. Also I have changed camera movement, and now user can change height of camera view.

Trace_On v1.0 released !

Finaly after long time of work the first version of Trace_On is available on Android Market.
You can download it here. It should work well on most of device, it is running at reasonable speed even on emulator. Let the work speak for itself ;)

Android, Tron, Light Cycles, 3D ... let's start

I want to make this blog so everyone can see the progress, and results of my different smaller and bigger projects. My first project for wide range of peoples is dedicated on Android platform. I know there is a lot of this kind games, but i want to add some "special modifiactions" to this type and there it goes: "Trace_on - raster bikes" ;) So far it has:

drive on board 2 levels depth
1 vs many (1 human, and many CPU players)
fast graphics
works on devices with Android 2.1, OpenGL 1.1

I'am not sure if I will be able to guide this project to the end, but we shall see. If you don't like this kind of games.... don't play it :)

This is preview:

The beginning
