Sucess!

I have gotten my camera and movement to work so I can cross of the first thing on my list. Now I am working on getting the animation to work and look good :D. Hopefully with this addition I will start to have the beginning of a decent looking game :D. Remember all the games I make will hopefully be added to my website for free download. How I am going to do this is beyond me but if there is a will there is a way. Also It is my birthday tommorow so happy birthday me! :D Although it will be a working birthday as I am helping my dad dig up the garden so we can lay down some foundations for our new extension! We decided that doing most of it ourselves will be good character building and will also teach us alot about building a house. Which I think is one of my dads dreams. Also it is nice to be working with my dad on a project like this. Although I wish we could just stick to kiteboarding. I am hoping that tommorow will bring a new tv which I can put up in my room. It will be alot better than the one I am currently working with now. Which is about 16" I have had it for years now, and I am thinking that a new tv would be nice. As a celebration me and my friends are going to the cinema. Not this week but next week(jewish new year for some of them)

Anyway back to programming. Right now I am working on getting some basic animations for tiny.x(my model that I use as placeholder) I am thinking that maybe I will need to hire/ask a decent modeller to build me some good(hopefully free) models. I think that the first game I make will be a space game as it will be rather easy to create. Atleast compared to a FPS or something similar. And once I have made it feature complete I am hoping to add networking so that if my friends download it they will be able to play each other. This should hopefully bring a bit of fun to the game and will teach me alot about networking! :D

So tommorow my main goal is to create a skybox for my game and put in some collision detection so you cannot go past it :D I will also add a new spaceship model which I am thinking of stealing from a game example courtesy of XNA game studio. So I better not talk to long or else I will get very little done tonight!

More updates tommorow!
