PlayPlace

Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:45:57 -0400

PlayPlace was my final project for EECS 494 - Computer Game Design and Development, completed in December 2005. The game uses Direct3D 9.0 for the 3D graphics API. It is designed to be a multiplayer game using Xbox 360 controllers for PC. However, it can be played with the keyboard (single player only), but using an Xbox 360 controller is highly recommended. A fluid physics simulation is the core element of the gameplay, meaning the primary task for the players is to interact with the movement of the balls. The fluid physics are based on the SIGGRAPH paper from 2003 entitled "Particle-Based Fluid Simulation for Interactive Applications". Programming the physics was the most challenging part of the project, and I think it turned out very well. Below you can download the game, view screenshots or read the original design document (which is drastically different from the end result).

Crisis Wolverine: Insurrection Green

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 12:24:22 -0500

Crisis Wolverine: Insurrection Green is the top down RPG that took this campus by storm. It is best described as Final Fantasy here on the U of M campus. This highly addictive, simplistic four hour game was... well... pure genius. The hard work really paid off and the development team can happily boast several thousand downloads.

Crisis Wolverine begins with the main character finding himself stranded on the campus of U of M during spring break. He soon uncovers MSU's dastardly plans to overtake the campus and must find it within himself to stop it. Those he encounters along the way will shape his destiny, and the destiny of the campus itself.

WolverineWare

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500

WolverineWare is the first true Wolverine Soft community project in a while. Development of this game will be done by programmers, artists, musicians, designers, beginners and experts alike. The idea behind the game is that it will be like WarioWare, Inc. (the GBA game) with a WolverineSoft/UofM theme. It will consist of a huge number of simple, short (as in, a few seconds long) "microgames" each developed by an individual or group of Wolverine Soft members.

Interested in joining the Wolverine Ware development team? Come to one of our development sessions on Wednesday nights. Email here. These slides also contain documentation for the utility classes included with the SDK.

Microgames

These are all of the microgames that have been conceived so far. Some are complete and fully functional in the game, others are in development, and others are still just ideas. If you would like to submit a new microgame concept send an email to Hayden so the status will be updated.
