TGB Breakout Tutorial -- Time-lapse Video

by Seth Willits · in Torque Game Builder · 05/01/2008 (2:53 pm) · 2 replies

So I've been a TGB/T2D owner since the beginning, but have yet to use it for building anything. I've done some tutorials and experiments over the years, but nothing serious.

Yesterday I downloaded the latest version and went through a tutorial on creating a breakout game. I didn't finish the entire thing (the tutorial itself isn't finished, but I also stopped before implementing multiple levels since I was already looking at only getting 5 hours of sleep), and I must say the editor has come a long LONG way. It's much nicer than it used to be (there practically was none!) and although I didn't use it a whole lot, I can see all the areas that were wacky before have been greatly enhanced.

Anyway, I recorded a time lapse of me doing the tutorial; Total time is 2 hours and 10 minutes compressed into an 11 minute movie.

Here you can grab the game, a very short video of some game play, and the time lapse video.

I love time lapse videos, especially of development...especially especially of TGB development =)

Very interesting to watch, though the constant tabbing between the tutorial page and the editor kind of made my eyes hurt and got a little dizzy.

Still, good vid =)
