I have uploaded a couple of videos showing basic movement, collision detection and real time physics in The sketchy project.

For some reason the videos seem a little slow and jumpy, which is probably because of me doing something wrong when making the them. The actual scene in the videos runs at about 1500 FPS on my development machine, so no slowness there. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the videos!

I just released Nefatavl 2.1, the updated version of Nefatavl 2.0. I am really happy with how this turned out. I got the updated systems and new features implemented just as I wanted, and now I can move on to use these new technologies in my next project. Let's just hope I got all those nasty bugs cleared out before hitting the upload button. Please report any problems you have, by e.g. posting a comment here.

See the readme file for the changlog. Happy downloading!

The game with the funny name returns!

While working on an upcoming project of mine I have had to learn quite a few new technical game development tricks, such as how to use shaders in the Ogre graphics engine and how to load resources from archives. It is always fun to learn new things, but it is even more fun to try these new things out in real world applications.

I started incorporating the new stuff in Nefatavl 2.0, just to see how well they performed. Turns out, they performed quite well, actually so well that I decided to re-release Nefatavl with these new features. The result is Nefatavl 2.1, an updated version of the game, featuring mostly technical updates, but even a few game related changes. More info soon.

A sneak peak of the new shaders: Shaders disabled vs. Shaders enabled. See the difference? (HINT: the units).

The final version of Nefatavl 2.0 is completed and is available for download from its new page. Go get your copy today! Please see the readme file for improvements in this version.

UPDATE 16.11.2008: I just updated the game a little bit. This is just a fix for some small bugs and typos.

Welcome to my new web page! After having used www.sourcedrive.net as my home page for about five years, I finally decided that it is time to get something a little more memorable. This is the result, the new and shiny sebastian-ahlman.fi, running on top of a home made custom blog engine written in C#.

Why make a blog engine from scratch you ask? Well, take wordpress for example. It is a very nice and mature project and the platform is stable and has a load of features. But, it is way overkill for a simple site such as sebastian-ahlman.fi. I just wanted a simple blog system where visitors could leave comments. Presto!

The page is still very much in beta. Please report any problems you encounter. Thanks!
