Back online!

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to be back online. My cable-modem burned out a few weeks ago and i had to have it replaced by the ISP, but unfortuanately they f*&ked up, so as a result i was netless for a few weeks, so it was complete chaos juggling my mail at strangers, etc.

However, i didn't let it interfere with the creational process, so here are the latest updates:

- Wonderworld completely finished now.
- DML 1.1 nearing completion: Various fixes/speedups/additions/etc.
- DML ports: Dreamcast 100% finished, WinCE version completed.
- DML website done. Announcement soon.
- New DML game ready: Z-quence
- Started work on 2 DML games: G-loop and Hokey Pokey.

Thats about it for now, more announcements soon!

Wonderworld preview

Here's a preview of the wonderworld editor. Wonderworld is a 2D game editor that plugs into DML. It will allow both programmers and users without programming experience to create 2D tile-based games. More information about Wonderworld and the DML system will be published on the DML website soon.

DML - Running on Atari Jaguar

Today i've been able to succesfully complete the Atari Jaguar port of DML. It took a lot of effort to get it running, as there were no basic systems or libraries available for the Jaguar. After some pingponging back and forth with Charles Doty and the development of a memory manager and I/O routines, the port finally running.

While i didn't expect the port to run all that fluently on a 13mhz jaguar, it turns out the situation is much worse than i anticipated. The current framerate for the test program is about 2-3 FPS !!! :-( Very unusable indeed. I'll let the port be as it is for the moment, and will look into High Level Emulation (HLE) for some of the DML functions in the future.

Tons of updates

Sorry for the blog-gap :D Just been too busy with a lot of stuff, so here we go:

- Did a LOT of work on DML ports.. built a working Xbox, Jaguar and PS1 skeleton, fixed the soundsystem and did work on a XM/S3M/MOD replayer.
- Wonderworld bitmap editor is nearing completition, release soon. More info soon.
- Fixed sound in Radium. Radium is now ported to PC,Dreamcast and GP2X.
- Designed website for the DML system, which will be launched soon.

I'm hoping to make some progress on the Atari Jaguar soon. a memory management system is already in place and i'm hoping to have a working (and no doubt slow at 13mhz) DML port soon :p
