Mahjong created during live session

This article explains September 2016 live session stages: draft, rehearsal, live session itself, and publishing.

Even though live session takes only a few hours, we devote a whole month to prepare for it. Let's have a look at live session stages in detail.

Draft. Game creation for the first time.

Purposes:
- test our technologies and fix major bugs;
- discover usability issues to fix in the next development iteration;
- list exact steps to reproduce the game later;. . .

OGS Editor with a spherical scene node

This article explains the most important technical details about development in August: UIQt module, its refactoring, a new feature based development approach, and its benefits.

UIQt module is a collection of UI components backed by Qt. We only use it for Editor UI at the moment.

Here is a list of UIQt module components with their description and current code size:

If you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or VK you noticed we started to use them again. That's no coincidence: we're finally ready to communicate our progress verbally after 4 years of almost silent development.

Once Mahjong – always Mahjong

2016-08-10 00:00

We started Opensource Game Studio project a long time ago. We wanted to provide open source community with tools to create games. However, it was unclear what tools' purpose was. So we decided to start small: create a game first.

It took us 3 years to reach the first goal: we released OGS Mahjong 1.0 in 2012. Even for a hobby project (we spend about 40 hours a month) it's too long.

Upon the game release we got it: Tools are means to save development time.

We spent 4 more years to develop them. Now is the time to prove they are worth every single day spent. How? We will recreate Mahjong solitaire mode in just a few hours!. . .
