Ok. Thanks baxslash.

Je je je Yes I'm very busy. I have a lot of ideas for new games but until I finished the game OP. ANNUNAKI, I could not start working with new projects.

Great news and excelent sprites. I hope to see your models in motion very soon.

Nice thought but I'm afraid I don't have a printer atm either! At uni abroad at the moment so only have the stuff I could fit in one bag of hold luggage! I'm sure I'll be able to get them at some point though

Quote: "Anyone know how to find a game in Intel AppUp website?"

As baxslash says, they can be really slow. If it's published, it should already be accessible through the AppUp client but the website lags behind a lot. RADAR appeared in 1 day but the RADAR Demo took nearly 2 weeks to appear. They're also quite slow on their emails. I asked a question to customer support and I waited nearly 3 weeks for a reply. I also got my brown belt points level three months back but only got it showing up about three weeks ago and have still had no email to tell me about it (or the free book I'm supposed to get ).

Thanks Lucas Only I can do is wait. No problem.

If "Cañon Pirata 3D" don't have more issues, I will send it for validation.

And meanwhile I'll keep working on my next game.

There is now another platform Intel is accepting apps to, Tizen. It'll be interesting to see how well this OS competes against other OSs and if it does take off I hope TGC will make AppGameKit compatable with it.

Edit: Looks like it's heavily based on HTML 5 so if DVader gets his wish of HTML 5 support in AppGameKit then this OS may not be too far behind!

I was just reading that, ninja'd again...

Looks very interesting.

I have a small bit of news too, my zombie game "The Last Stand" will be marketed by Intel in an October campaign (I'm guessing it'll be for Halloween). You should all see it in one of their standard marketing emails but it should also be visible in the AppUp Client and on the main website.

It will be interesting to see what kind of impact it has on sales, and it might give us some idea what applying for a "Profit Share" scheme might do for our apps!

That is great news! I hope it boosts the number of visits to the ADG website as well.

Typical, my exams start on that exact date. Unbelieveable! But it does give us a bit of time to polish the site.

Sorry for the 20 questions baxslash but how many responses (i.e images) did you get for the newsletter for ADG Arcade?

That's OK, I got enough for the article. There's a very short bit of info on 6 of the games and what has been seen to be worked on. I couldn't really thank people who hadn't posted any actual game images or videos yet in case they've changed their minds.

Batvink ninja'd me on a separate game review too

Thanks baxslash, reason for me asking is that we might be able to spruce up the ADG Arcade article. If we got the six developers to write articles on each of their games in the Arcade category and then list them in the main article I think it would look quite stunning. I'll create a thread a bit later in the ADG forum so we can discuss this in more detail.

The module we're using is flawed, and I haven't seen a fix for it yet. We discussed removing names altogether, maybe we should work on that. I have zero time at the moment (too many people doing too much good stuff to put in the newsletter!) but if anyone wants to dabble, then they can add the module to a test page (registered users only) and fiddle with the options.

Sounds like another fantastic edition is on its way.

I might have a little play around then.

Urgent
Does anyone know if DBPro games work on 64Bit systems? I have no way of checking this and I need to know quick... seems that if TLS doesn't work on 64Bit they are pulling it from the advertising campaign

Thanks basjak, but do you know if your compiled games work on 32 bit or if games compiled on 32 bit work on 64 bit?

Also I'm wondering if any of the plugins I used might cause an issue such as EA, sparky's, Cloggy's d3d... ?

the games are 32-bit, and they work just fine on 64-bit. I have a 64-bit laptop if you want me to test anything this evening.

I chose not to include Win64 in my AppUp submission just to get it up there - one less platform for the installer to fail on. But I do know the installer works on a 64-bit machine too.

They must be referring to just the platform and not the game itself. If they insisted games were compiled as 64-bit, they would lose 99% of their catalogue. And don't forget 32-bit games work on both, 64-bit games only work on the 64-bit platform.

Don't forget that you also have a beta testers list in the AppGameKit thread. KISTech has access to a Win 7 64 bit machine and I think The Slayer does as well and as I'm typing this BatVink replied so there's another one plus basjak. I've really got to get with the times!

Btw, what netbook runs Win xp/7 64 bit?

How's that for ninja'ing?

Same here... or so I thought... but it passed validation in its latest state anyway.

Can't think why it's on their "64bit removal list" then?

yep, I have 32bit vista on one computer and 64bit win7 on the other. I've never experienced any problem since the latest DBpro update.

actually baxslash, I came to this board to see how can I put my name on the list when my game gets ready.

if you had a chance to look at a 64bit system you will notice that system 32 is included in system 64 but in two separate folders.

My home desktop pc uses 64bit Windows 7 operating system. I never had any problem with DBPro games. Your games worked fine. Also the programs that I compile on my pc have no problem with 32bit operating systems.

They pulled the game from their promotion.

I am furious. I never even specified it for 64Bit and now I'm missing a marketing opportunity I should never have been told about. I wasted about three hours getting stuff ready and jumping through hoops.

I'm more than a little annoyed about this. Anyone else want to run an AppUp group?

am quite surprised. anything am missing in here.

I always code my apps using 64bit win7. then later, I test it on my other 32bit vista. I've never had a trouble in running a 64bit system DBpro compiled app on my vista system.

I am planning to buy a netbook this weekend to test my apps before submitting and I will be ready to test any app for you guys.

anyone tried wItem Installer?.

That's just unfair. Peroid.

Quote: "Any idea why they've suddenly pulled your game from their promotion? "

I'm guessing it's the lack of confirmed 64 bit support. But it's not supposed to roll out until the Oct 17th so surely they should have atleast allowed baxslash a few days to test it out on Win 7 64.

Quote: "I'm more than a little annoyed about this. Anyone else want to run an AppUp group?"

I'm 90% sure that's a rhetorical question... Anyway baxslash don't let this get you down too much, you've helped numerous others get their games onto an appstore which is a very important mile stone for them. If it weren't for this group I wouldn't nearly be as good a developer as I am today. This group has given me invaluable experience, things that can't be taught in a classroom.
Just a few reminders of what you've done for us:
Quote: "I owe a lot to this group, I wouldn't be on AppUp without it."

Quote: "21 Published Apps"
Which is probably more by now.
50+ members!

Remember, a "Valued Member" badge is earned and is a symbol of what you've done and will do for this community. Intel pushed us down a bit but we've got to get up and push back, prefereably in the form of more apps.

Just thought you were in need of a confidence boost baxslash, hope it worked.

Somehow I thought this was relevant:

Quote: "They pulled the game from their promotion."

Unlucky! And unfair! I'd just like to add my voice to the people verifying that DBP has no problem with 64 bit whatsoever. My dev machine is 64 bit and I have actually played The Last Stand Demo on it so I know it works. No chance you'll be able to remonstrate with them? It's always a horrible feeling when these big companies do this to you as your so powerless to do anything about it. What can I say? It's a bureaucratic mistake on their part and not a personal attack on you, whatever it might seem like. Mind you, Intel hasn't always been good to us with threats of code signing fees and so on but at least with AppGameKit, we are now at liberty to take our business where we want where as with DBP, we were kind of stuck with them.

Oh and I think you're all doing great work with the AppGameKit Arcade; progress is looking really nice. Just sorry I've not had the time to contribute myself.

With the AppGameKit website, I noticed you were saying about trouble with the game names at the side of the screen shots and I noticed an issue with it myself in the system I use for AdSense in apps. From my (very limited) tests, it looks to me like it's a problem with the way trident renders it which could be quite a major issue. Problems? With trident? I'm shocked... Anyhow is there anything I can do to help on that?

Well there has been a bit of smalk talk about volume 2 so you might be able to contribute then but I don't think it will be happening any time soon. It's been a while since I've talked to you Lucas, what's the latest project and how's it going?

Great, know what you're getting yet? I haven't tried wItem installer but there is a free MSI making utility that has been tested for AppUp. It can be downloaded here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=185508&b=8

There's a full guide and loads more info in the first post on this thread.

Quote: "Woooooow man, that is harsh! Any idea why they've suddenly pulled your game from their promotion?"

...it wouldn't run on 64 Bit Windows 7. Never said it would or tested it because I don't have a 64 Bit Windows 7 machine. I'll post a link to an installer here so someone else can try it (and have the full game for free) if they want.

Anyway I can only assume it's a problem with 64 Bit W7, maybe to do with the plugins I'm using? I'll post that demo ASAP.

Welcome Pincho Paxton! AppGameKit is really easy to move to from DBPro, you'll have no problem, although there are still bugs and some missing useful commands ("getSpriteGroup" is my own bugbear!).

For anyone that is unaware there are two new utilities available which are useful to AppGameKit developers for creating sprite sheets:
Model-2-Sprite
...and...
SpriteMe

Both are made by ADG members @matty halewood and @hockeykid respectively. Well done guys! Nice to see some healthy competition, personally I'm tempted by the combo offer

Not for a while probably bodes well for my ability to participate

Quote: "It's been a while since I've talked to you Lucas, what's the latest project and how's it going?"

Yeah sorry I've not been posting much but rest assured I'm still around. It's just reading is quicker than writing . Well I've had this game idea for a couple of years now so I was trying to make that in AppGameKit Tier 2. The only snag is that the idea is cursed. This must be my fourth attempt to make it and every time I try, something goes horribly wrong. In this case, the thing that went horribly wrong is my decision to use AppGameKit without realising the lack of basic drawing commands, specifically lines. As the whole game is to do with dragging out dynamically created lines from one point to another, none of the work arounds I've seen so far look like they'll work so I'm just waiting for those commands to be added. Also my poor little netbook dies a little each time I try and load Visual Studio. I'm still developing but it's mostly not TGC stuff atm so I've not been posting too much here. I was planning to have a go at the Arcade project but I got set back ages by this thorny bug I encountered whilst trying to update the Chrome Extension I develop and I'm still working through that.

Quote: "it wouldn't run on 64 Bit Windows 7."

As in... They actually tested it and it didn't work? You did remember to recompile under the latest version so that it doesn't encounter the issue with Win7 SP1 right? I know you did on the demo version because first time I tested it it failed but then you updated it and it ran fine but I've not tried the full version. I'm afraid I can't offer to test for you now as I don't have my dev machine with me and wont for a long time so no 64 bit at the moment.

Yes, it's the version that I did for the W7 SP1 bug. It's strange that they said it wouldn't run but I can't test so I don't know. I'll upload an installer for the full game ASAP.

You'll have to learn a spell that breaks the curse. I'm sorry to hear that it's not going to plan. I hope a solution presents itself soon.

I've been down that road, ended up installing a new OS. I've tried to keep it clean from large development packages but good old DBPro's on it.

I was planning to have a go at the Arcade project but I got set back ages by this thorny bug I encountered whilst trying to update the Chrome Extension I develop and I'm still working through that."

You live a busy life of development Lucas, I salute you!

I always thought that if it runs on 32 bit it should run of 64 bit. Is that a correct assumption?

Thanks

Interesting one that one. I'd like to hear people's opinions on that. Seems to me that at a hardware level, there should be no issue. After all, it was backwards compatibility that let the AMD 64 bit architecture win out over the Intel design right? However I guess that the 64 bit libraries provided by the OS and other things may still be different or incompatible. I know Rome: Total War can't handle 64 bit so there are obviously some issues around it.

What about at a firmware level?

Interesting. Can one tone down the 64 bit to 32 bit via control panel? I run 32 bit and can go down to 16 bit... not that I do.

I believe that data is dealt with differently on 64 bit which means integer values are doubled for one thing. DBP is supposed to be able to handle that but it's possible some plugins don't I guess...

Hello guys,

Cañon Pirata 3D app is finally approved ( only I needed to change the rating +10 to +13 because the user can put his name in online ranking )

Thanks again to all

This time I'm very surprised, my last game Learn to Multiply don't appear in Intel AppUp Center but Cañon Pirata 3D App is now in the new releases list I don't understand.

You only see what can be run on your computer. So if you are on Win 64 but your game is not for Win 64, you don't even see it. It is the same for Win XP etc.

How do you guys get your music made? If I had a keyboard I could make the music, but currently I have no idea how I am going to get my music made. I could do some graphics to swap for some music.

I make my music myself. Either that'd be house, trance, atmospheric, horror, metal, etc...
What kinda music do you need? Drop me a mail, and maybe I can help you out.

Depends on the music. Baxslash posted an 8 bit sound generator here. But an email to The Slayer is always worth it.
