We decided to make use of the great work of the Wordpress team and updated our blog to use the latest version. The new blog is at http://blog.digital-glue.com/ This blog will become far more active and be focussed more on the new 3D features of Flash.
We are pleased to announce our latest browser title, Nadir. Nadir is a multi player, 3D space shooter where you take control of a space craft and engage in a dog fight style battle in timed rounds. Luckily for you, we have decided to conduct open beta testing of the game from the 1st June 2010. If you are interested in becoming a beta tester, you my apply by dropping us a message (including a contact address) at our contact page. A shortlist will be made and, if successful we will send you instructions of how to access the game, along with your username and password. (For more details please see title link).
I am getting back on track with my ongoing project that I was working on but had to set aside for a while. I am working on core classes, the ability to serialize and copy my classes by default, and a collection framework to support the tools that I will develop for my tile engine project. I will therefore continue the blog shortly and hopefully get stuck in and get some demos up soon. Sadly, I will have to rewrite much of my blitting engine due to lack of SVN and a harddrive death, but this shouldn't take too long since I recall the original design.
Recently I've been working hard with work related bits and pieces but over the last few days I've been able to work on some classes to be included with PureMVC. These include ports of the Asynchronous Commands and State Machine utilities into AS2. Both should be live on the PureMVC website within the next few days :D
A 3D demo created in the latest version of Adobe Flash CS4 IDE. This example took just a couple of minutes to create using the new 3D tools. My first impressions of the new 3D tools are very positive. This example requires the latest Flash Player 10 plugin.
