P#9340 2014-11-26 05:04 ( Edited 2014-11-26 10:04)

December 2nd (Tuesday) :)

It's mostly more bug fixes and small improvements, but I'm also adding a music sequencer to go with the sound editor:

P#9342 2014-11-26 16:12 ( Edited 2014-11-26 21:12)

YES!!! Thanks, zep!

P#9345 2014-11-27 05:01 ( Edited 2014-11-27 10:01)

And zep, if you can, can you post in this thread the future the planned releases dates when you know them, please?
Thank you!
:D

P#9349 2014-11-27 10:43 ( Edited 2014-11-28 03:30)

Wait a minute... What is the Sound Editor?

P#9356 2014-11-28 12:15 ( Edited 2014-11-28 17:15)

to have an idea, create a new item in the editor and when you're going to select which kind of item will be (pickup, inventory, prop, monster) select sound.

P#9357 2014-11-29 07:19 ( Edited 2014-11-29 12:19)

Thanks a lot, Kling!

P#9358 2014-11-29 09:31 ( Edited 2014-11-29 14:31)

And, another question, How do you implement the music into the level, in the designer

P#9359 2014-11-29 09:59 ( Edited 2014-11-29 14:59)

how to add music

this is the only way for now

P#9360 2014-11-29 20:12 ( Edited 2014-11-30 01:13)

And, Another question (sorry, I'm new), Is there any difference between sound and music in the Voxatron Designer?
Thanks

P#9361 2014-11-30 02:32 ( Edited 2014-11-30 07:32)

Well... I was wondering... At what TIME is it gonna be released zep? I just can not wait anymore!!!

P#9365 2014-12-02 04:51 ( Edited 2014-12-02 09:51)

what happened, zep? When is 0.3.3 coming?

P#9367 2014-12-03 05:01 ( Edited 2014-12-03 10:01)

It will come soon enough. Just make some levels while waiting. :)

P#9368 2014-12-03 07:33 ( Edited 2014-12-03 12:33)

Yeah, I will do that. Even better, while looking at the 0.3 voxatron trailer I had a really good idea, so, I will be bussy until 0.3.3 comes out!

P#9369 2014-12-03 08:52 ( Edited 2014-12-03 15:34)

Well, do anyone of you guys how to get the music used by zep, in the 0.3 trailer? 'cause is a really cool piece of music!

P#9379 2014-12-04 05:16 ( Edited 2014-12-05 04:52)

So, I will have to post again the question..
When is the next update coming up, zep?

P#9407 2014-12-07 13:17 ( Edited 2014-12-07 18:17)

When is, the next update coming up....

P#9411 2014-12-08 02:42 ( Edited 2014-12-11 10:07)

It seems like the whole BBS is kind of "dead"...

P#9427 2014-12-11 23:54 ( Edited 2014-12-12 04:54)

okay, look, the bbs is pretty much dead all the time, some stuff has been tried to change that but is no use, the bbs is like a secondary forum that people show up from time to time.

zep may change the dates of updates as he pleases, it's not easy to do a scripting on such complex console such a voxatron and he is doing that alone, so stop complaining cause you're not doing a thing okay?

I have no idea how to get his music, its his music he does what he wants with that, but if you just wont listen to reason you may use some youtube converter to mp3 site to get it.

P#9428 2014-12-12 08:49 ( Edited 2014-12-12 13:49)

Well, yeah, that's true, he is working on such a big project all by himself, and that's a very big challenge. Now I fell sorry for him. Sorry, I am very impatient now, for some reason. I can wait.

I can sometimes get really annoying.

Zep must be really busy now.

P#9451 2014-12-15 05:04 ( Edited 2014-12-17 10:14)

I'm kind of curious if the entire internal music engine is based off of milky...I was under the impression the audio was synthesized. :p This could have interesting consequences...

P#9482 2014-12-22 23:24 ( Edited 2014-12-23 04:24)

Mr. Zep:
Well, I've got a question about 0.4, because, in the development map, it says,

Arena shooter w/ sidekicks, portals and multiple characters.

But, what does that means?

P#9537 2015-01-13 04:57 ( Edited 2015-01-13 09:58)

It actually means: Arena shooter with sidekicks, portals and multiple characters.

P#9538 2015-01-13 10:39 ( Edited 2015-01-13 15:39)

arena shooter: a new arena alpha cartidge
sidekicks: a npc that fights alongside you
portals: portals! have you never played portal?
multiple characters: don't we have that alreadý? I don't get it

zep I'm in need of the next update, the id shifting bug is tearing me apart!

P#9539 2015-01-13 20:38 ( Edited 2015-01-14 01:38)

@blinddevil

That was REALLY helpfull!

@Kling

Thanks!

P#9540 2015-01-13 23:51 ( Edited 2015-01-14 10:10)

@Kling

Well, maybe the multiple character thing means that, in some levels, you can choose at the start of the level, a different character, that have different abilities, and can open doors that other characters can't, so, the player you choose, the level changes its end!

P#9541 2015-01-13 23:55 ( Edited 2015-01-14 04:55)

Mr. Zep,

I have ANOTHER question about the development map.
Down there, It says

v0.3 Projects:

And then, it says:

pico-8

A 2d fantasy console made out of Voxatron components.
pico-8.com

What is Pico-8?

P#9542 2015-01-14 04:58 ( Edited 2015-01-14 10:05)

here

zep posted some vines about pico-8 progress recently (which might explain the delay on voxatron)
and its looking great!

P#9546 2015-01-14 10:36 ( Edited 2015-01-14 15:36)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
It's a new game?
Or is it a 2D voxatron?
And what does it have to do with voxatron?

P#9547 2015-01-14 23:56 ( Edited 2015-01-15 04:56)

How many bugs is Zep fixing right now?
100?
200?
100000000000000000000000000000?

P#9551 2015-01-16 05:10 ( Edited 2015-01-16 10:10)

Hey, sorry for disappearing for so long. Clearly, things didn't go according to plan -- I've been struggling with a messy codebase since rushing to get 0.3 out with the Mozilla promotion last year, and had to change course to keep ongoing development manageable. I also took the chance to merge the code for pico-8 properly so that the music tools (and other tools later) will be easier to maintain.

As a result I ended up making a lot of progress on pico-8 earlier than expected, and will post more details about it soon. It's another, much smaller 2d fantasy console made from Voxatron components, sharing audio tools (the sound designer is already in Voxatron 0.3.2), a custom version of Lua for scripting, and a text editor for typing scripts in (Voxatron will also use these to make nicer text boxes in general). I'll make a beta available for Voxatron users early so you can practice some Lua scripting for Voxatron carts later on. Eventually you'll be able to include pico-8 carts in side Voxatron carts too! (The screen is 128x128 with a subset of Voxatron's palette)

I realise there's still a lot of buggy stuff in Designer causing problems, but I'm back onto that now and a much more solid and future-looking version of 0.3.3 should be ready next week. (No exact eta for obvious reasons!)

@hseiken The music mixer is my own .xm mixer, but I use MilkyTracker a lot, so try to match Milky's playback as close as possible (which is apparently supposed to be quite faithful to older xm trackers). The pico-8 tracker is much smaller and simpler, with 7 fixed instruments (triangle, square etc.) but you can still do some good things with it music-wise. Anyway, you'll be able to try it out soon :)

Oh, I also fixed the horrible custom music selection scheme. You can now type in ids the same way you would for an emitter etc., but it still gives you a list of the internal music ids to choose from.

I'm halfway through a proper dev diary post #4 (it has been a while and too much stuff happened!) but for now I'll leave you with a WIP room for Voxatron Story:

P#9553 2015-01-16 16:01 ( Edited 2015-01-16 21:07)

Epic :)
Waiting for an update :)

P#9554 2015-01-16 20:59 ( Edited 2015-01-17 01:59)

Yay!!
Well, sorry for being impatient...
The bedroom of the video looks really good!
:D

P#9555 2015-01-16 23:46 ( Edited 2015-01-17 07:56)

this update is gonna be epic; I'm sure!
