Since there are *some* people on IRC who might care about this, I'm putting up a thread.
Nullbreaker is a breakout game I'm developing alone. So what's so special about it...?
Well, here's a list of main features:
- Achievements
- Leaderboards
- Lots of awesome power ups
- Built-in level editor
- DLC

New version aims to implement those features as well:
- Fluid environment
- Story mode

Many of you (including ppy) know the story of it being approved by VALVe to Steam, then dropped out due to my lead programmer being a lazy bum. Well, Nullbreaker was long dead for 2 years. Now, it's time to get it back alive. Old version was being developed in nightmare language called GML. Its engine was written in... Delphi. Yeah, I know. Performance was horrible etc. Even UI couldn't keep up to 60 fps.
Right now, I'm writing Nullbreaker's code from scratch in C#/XNA 4/FlatRedBall.

So! In this thread, I'll keep everyone posted on the progress! :P

Yesterday I was working on moving entire GUI to separate class library. Thought it'd be more easy to manage code and code up a decent GUI system that I could use in future games as well. I'm also going to release this library along with other Lime Toolkit parts under opensource license.

As for now, I've implemented only 3 widgets with full set of events and UI properties. Widgets can be: Draggable, Resizable, Selectable.


CPU usage is caused by the spike when I took a screenshot. Normally it stays between 2%-8%.

Nosebreaker is still a better name.

Is the Story mode of Nullbreaker about a Constructor or a Deconstructor? I'm hoping for some Reboot-level humour in the script

also doesn't this belong in Video Games?

Hmmm... Might actually belong there.

Looks like this could actually get somewhere this time! I hope you get some really good progress done over the next while so you'll be able to show us more in another video :3
