Game
Blackthorne

5 years ago

When starting a project to recreate any game is always a good call to research about the original technology powering it. This will help to understand better how the game works and how to implement it using new technologies.


For the Blackthorne game, it was an in house engine developed by Blizzard in the early 90s.

A really awesome dude create some tools to reverse engineering this game. Using that it's possible to extract sprites and other game assets. You can read all about that on this post. He even made the source-code available to us.

Unfortunately, C/C++ is not my thing and the tools were written using this language. I even try to build the project on my Windows but I had no success.

I will need to use this tool in the near future so I'm hoping to count with some friends to help in this part. If you can, please let me know on the comments.

Path of Kami: The Evolution of the Lore

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
