Latest News: Dominoze Update #5: Roads and terrain elevation
0 comments by Gamieon on May 18th, 2013
I lost a week of time due to Hyperspace Pinball bugs, and a fair bit of another week due to a new side-scroller game I've been tinkering with; but I finally got some new stuff to show!
The good news is that, since the previous update, I've restored the "raise terrain elevation" feature and added another where you can pave roads beneath dominoes. I used the same Catmull-Rom spline technique used to create domino paths to generate the road. I also fixed that pesky bug where dominoes would not appear where a player was trying to put them.
The bad news is that I'm having trouble staying motivated; it's just not fun working on the game lately. I have a design document that pretty well describes everything...but I'm filled with doubts over how well the game will do and the learning curve involved in people playing it. I think the next thing I need to do is:
- Step back for a while until the motivation comes back (it always does eventually)
- Make a level design for level 1; even if it only takes 20 seconds in MS paint.
- Make the -entire- game just be one level. Don't think about in-app coin purchases, the sandbox editor or anything else. Level 1 should have all the bells and whistles it will have in the gold release: a celebration with balloons or fireworks at the end, visual cues, and all the mechanics necessary to make it all work in single player mode.
- Get all the art done for level 1. It needs to be gold release quality art...no going six months down the road thinking "I still don't know how I want it to look."
- Make sure it's tested on a tablet and the PC.
- Get it looked at by 1 person. By 5 people. By 50 people...see how fast everyone picks up on it and understands what's going on.

Somehow this reminds me of a mix of that old hotwheels game and the very best of the I Spy images mixed together. Oh man. My body can't take this much nostalgia.
omg is this it? Yes it is ! :D
I remember reading about a domino puzzle game in the moddb news :D
I searched my name in the moddb search and its not a simple task to search right place when you have +800 activity points :s (i search since i remembered commenting to those news)
Well didnt find. So i took a task. Searched first trough all puzzle category games and then tactical games in categorys. No luck.
Now searching half of those 51 pages of indie games from all the categorys i find this game where i see/read some stuff about dominos. This have to be it :D lol i lost my boomark i made originaly.
Happy ending :P
will the final be free?
you could make the loading falling domino's
I really wanna know the engine for this game. I hope you guys release tools to make our mod puzzles or even other games!
Dominoze was built on a home-grown engine I programmed on top of the OpenGL, OpenAL, LuaScript and Newton physics API's. It's specialized for Dominoze but I designed it to be modular and potentially usable out-of-the-box in other projects down the road. The Dominoze demo comes with the editor for you to make your own puzzles with. You can then play those in the game (Let me know if you have issues using the Editor).
I think there's a great untapped potential in Dominoze that could be unleashed by working with other development groups and making the content itself functional with other engines like Unity3D (which I'm now investigating).
This looks like loads of fun. Downloading, and tracking for updates.
