Today was the deadline of the GameJam! People really enjoyed our game “Kings Shadows”, because of that we won the most popular game award and became second in the competition! This is pretty good as there where lots of good games. A download of “Kings Shadows” will be available soon.

It’s been a couple of busy weeks lately. After a nice holiday (2 weeks ago I went skiing in Austria) I started my Game Technology Minor.

After one day it was clear it wouldn’t be an easy couple of months and I wouldn’t have any time to work on anything GTA related.

Game Jam

This week the Game Jam started. The Game Jam is a project where you’ve got to create a fully working game within 5 days. The theme of this years Game Jam is “Casual”. You can follow the progress of this game on it’s project page.

Team Game

The team game will be a full game, made in a team of 6 persons (Same team as the Game Jam project) and will take 5 months to finish. No project page has been made for this yet. I’ll make a new post when it’s up 🙂

I was tired of waiting for a sco editor so decided to code one myself. It’s very basic but it does the job for now.

What can you do with it? Well you can decompile the current missions and adjust them. OR create your very own missions from scratch. Sounds awesome right?

Oh come on man, now I want it! Sorry, you’ve got to wait a little longer. It’s still in early beta stage and doesn’t decompile every script without problems and doesn’t work with the latest patches.

For now you can download a cleaned script.img for version 1.0 and 1.0.1.0 (I haven’t tested this on new versions so it might work on newer versions) Cleaned Scripts.img

A lot of people ask me questions on how to do things in IV. Most of those questions are pretty much the same so I added a IV Modding FAQ page to my website. On this page you can ask me questions about map, car or script mods or anything else IV Modding related. I’ll try to answer them as good as possible and sometimes with mini tutorials. So if you are in need of any help, get to the IV Modding FAQ page!

Shadow-Link

It’s the last day of the year already. This year went by pretty fast. It’s been a busy year in which I’ve released a few tools. Exactly a year ago I released Shadow-Mapper 0.1 and ofcourse I’ve also released Shadows-Plugins, the very first max importer/exporter for IV files.

What would you like to see for next year? A help area where I’ll help people out with IV modding problems? Improved tools from me and the Russians? Let me know what you would like to see on my website in the comming year.

Happy new year!
