(Old thread here, which is now locked due to inactivity:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=73407171&f=120)Hey guys, sorry I let this thread die for such a long time. My intent was to periodically update this with content over time while I finished my game, to kind of help put down into words all I had learned along the way. Progress on my own game was really ramping up though, and I needed to just get it through to completion. I ended up getting it released on Steam since the last time I posted here, which has been an awesome experience, and with that there is a lot of post launch support, updates, etc.
For the time being, if you want to just post questions here, I can definitely commit to answering them. My game is an amalgamation of a ton of different concepts which I have grown to be very experienced in over the last few years, including:
User interface
3D graphics
Online network programming and server infrastructure
Game design
Logic flows
Shaders
Artificial intelligence and behavior trees
Dynamic gameplay (How do you implement a “power up”, “status effect”, etc)
And much much more, since this does not include any of the business end, Steam, marketing, etc.
So anyways, I’ll keep an eye on this, and if you want to check out the end result of my years of labor, here’s the game on Steam

Looking forward to your questions!
