An idea
So, I've got an idea: You play as a light entity, and your mission is to light up the whole level. You've got four things helping you: you can place stationary lights…
Uplighter Devlogs
At least there's something on screen
Here's a very early shot of the tile system, not even all basic stuff in yet, 01basictile.jpg.
Things not going too well
I coded a lot more, but things are kind of crappy... with some luck I'll manage to turn it into a game... here's a shot 02somestuff.jpg. Now I really need some food.
Now, at last, it looks kind of decent :)
Aye, read the title, or watch this screenie: 03stablelight.jpg. Lighting system is kind of ready. It's not perfect, but it's kind of cool anyway. Now I can start working…
Night
Time for some sleep now (00:05 local time now, and haven't slept for 17h, which isn't that long a time, but I was pretty tired to begin with)... not much of a game yet,…

Help screen
I've spent some (too much;) time creating this help screen, but now at least people will know how to play. Only they don't really have anything to play yet. I must…

Got sound
Got some basic sound. Only level creation left. Yay, I guess.
Release Candidate 1
Release Candidate 1 is here :)
Final of Uplighter released. So I'm done. Yay.
Uplighter is now finished (or at least as finished as it will become during this competition). You can download it here: Uplighter final.
Compile on linux
Here's a script, kindly written by alar_k, to make Uplighter able to compile on linux. You'll need GLFW, GLFT, FMod & FreeType2.
Speed issues
I've had a couple of comments about Uplighter running very slow, all from people with 3 ghz cpus. Which is weird since it runs smoothly on my computer with 1.8 ghz. I'm…
