| <p>It was a year of reimagining and rethinking. As some of you may remember, we started this project to make a game development tool. During the years, the idea evolved from one form to another, sometimes the changes were significant, other times we threw away all the code and started anew.</p> | |||
| <p>As a result of all these changes, we came to the end of the year 2018 without a tool, but with a clear understanding of what tool are we making.</p> | |||
| <p>There are plenty of fine game development tools out there. Some of them are even open source. We spent plenty of time trying them, and some are quite good.</p> | |||
| <p>We can't, and we don't want to compete with them. Our targets are maximal accessibility and simplicity. Our goal is to make a tool suitable for teaching children, but powerful enough to be used for prototyping. To use any powerful development tool, you need a PC or a laptop. We want to make the toolset, that can be used anywhere. We already made some steps in this direction, and we will continue this course.</p> | |||
| <p>So, we're beginning a new year without precise plans, but with clear knowledge of our goal instead. Let's wait and see if this approach works better.</p> | |||
| <p>Happy New Year to all of you! See you soon!</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a> | |||

| <li>making video games with those tools</li> | |||

| <p>This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:</p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>What is an ideal video game?</li> | |||
| <li>What is an ideal video game development tool?</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <p>The best answers we could think of are below.</p> | |||
| <p><strong>Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible</strong></p> | |||
| <p>While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested | |||
| into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content. | |||
| There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:</p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware</li> | |||
| <li>insufficient optimization: the game is slow</li> | |||
| <li>critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <p>We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere. | |||
| That's why we released | |||
| <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html">the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2</a> only for | |||
| the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.</p> | |||
| <p><strong>Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible</strong></p> | |||
| <p>Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through | |||
| <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide">guides</a> and <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">tutorials</a>, we understand that those take a lot | |||
| of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like | |||
| <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> without performing the following steps:</p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>configure the development environment</li> | |||
| <li>write code</li> | |||
| <li>build an application</li> | |||
| <li>debug the application</li> | |||
| <li>repeat <code>write-build-debug</code> steps as many times as necessary</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <p>Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output | |||
| of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to | |||
| completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for | |||
| <code>development environment setup</code> and <code>build</code> steps. And this is what we are | |||
| going to do in the coming months.</p> | |||
| <p>Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that | |||
| would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the | |||
| <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> video game from scratch in an hour.</p> | |||
