After the GDC

by Benjamin Nitschke 11. March 2007 17:30
Just a couple of quick notes. I have been awake for over 25 hours now (all that traveling) and my PC at home does not like my anymore (it just won't go on). I probably have to repair it first thing tomorrow.

- This server (handling this website) was not prepared for the huge number of people trying to log on here and especially not for all the download request. I added a faster server below for the Dungeon Quest Beta download

- The Dungeon Quest game has not been tested well and we turned many features off (multiplayer splitscreen, xbox testing, some shadow mapping, quest solving, etc.) just to make it run at the party at Thursday. Tomorrow we are going to fix all that issues and test a little bit more and then will release the full version, which is hopefully more fun :)

- I need sleep and a computer that works, grml :(


- All the photos we made will be posted tomorrow too (well, not all, its like 200, but we got some nice ones in the last few days).


Thanks to Microsoft for the contest and opportunity and the GDC was a nice event overall (was Chris and my first time going over there). We did not check out many sessions, but there are many clips on GameTrailers, YouTube and probably a lot of papers from the usual sites (gamedev, nvidia, ati, etc.).

Welcome back and gn8 ;)

thx for the additional high-speed mirror. Now i could also download it and you have done really good work (haven't expected something else *fg*) ;D
Maybe I can support you with this video for the community, have just recorded it. I am a bit helpless with the keyboard controlling and i couldn't figure out how to grab the key ^^

Seems to be a nice game, but falls in the category of xna games I can't play with. Sub xna layers are enforcing maximal refresh rate supported by graphics card by default and not the current Windows desktop refresh rate, so for HDTV's like me I get the 'black screen' syndrome.

This post shows how to fix the problem with the spacewar starter kit (see bottom):
(It's not very hard, just read the current refresh rate in windowed mode and force it in full screen mode. There are also other fixes for windowed mode)

forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=570620

I hope you will fix that for all users using monitors and hdtv's not supporting 100Hz refresh rates! Thanks a lots!
(note that MS engineers are aware of the trouble but closed the case, they don't seem to want to update xna stuff, do it's up to developers to take care of it)

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
