DizzyAGE v2.0 beta 2nd released

http://www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage/beta.html

I'm wayting feedback from those with the DirectX video problem.

[delta]

is there any major differences to the 1st version in the 2nd beta version?

[xelanoimis]

It should work on DirectX for those that had problems with the first beta.
I need feedback on that.

And there's an updated setup.
And the music gets auto saved and restored, when loading a game or respawning after dead.
Read the readme.txt for more details.

If there are no more bugs to fix, this will be the v2.0.
All is left is to write the new docs

[Mataeus]

I only just learned about this. Is it easy to use?

[xelanoimis]

DizzyAGE 2.0 is on it's way...

I know I've been saying that for some time,
but now, the docs are ready, and they are all looking great!
Three books, I tell you... Three books!!!

All is left is to write a few small "How To?" articles,
and upgrade the website.

So, in a week or two, I hope it will be online.
(I die to start working on the rest of the "Other Side" game!)

By the way,
yesterday I presented the DizzyAGE engine
at the first romanian Game Development Conference!

I think people were all very impressed with it,
even if the latest subject were the high tech 3D games.
Most of them heard and even played the original
Dizzy games, so they new what I was talking about.

It was fun meeting other people with game dev interests
and I think the conference was a success.

I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this, the Documents will be a life saver for me as I haven't got a clue

Quick Question, what's the size limit (if any) on the games, with regards to objects (and the individual uses thereof), scripts, number of screens and Mb size?

The only other dev kit I've used is the elder scrolls one, which I got to grips with pretty quickly, but that's because most of the scripts you need are already in place in the game in one form or another....

Are any 'basic' scripts built into DizzyAGE? for example, collecting an objecting and dropping an object? Interacting with yolkfolk? screen linking?

Congrats on that game Conference Alex

We look forward to hearing more in the DizzyAGE world
