What we got...

MZ-2 Lead Artist Announced!

We're please to annouce that we've found a lead artist for the Masta Zeta 2 project.  Details to follow shortly!

MZ-2 Progress

Pete Santos has agreed to proceed with the MZ-2 project.  Indeed, this is a glorious day for all in Teck Software.  I am currently attempting to recruit a very tallented artist to the cause, stay tuned!

MZ-2 Specifics Part 2

Ok, so I know it's been awhile, but I have finally sat down and hammered out the details for 100% certainty.  Here's what we know at this point:

-Masta Zeta 2 WILL be a 2D top down space scroller with elements of RPG and RTS thrown in.
-MZ2 WILL be coded primarily using C++
-MZ2 WILL utilize the Allegro game programming library (currently version 5.0.8)
-MZ2 WILL be capable of resolutions up to 1920x1080
-MZ2 WILL support both OpenGL and Direct3D

I would also like to take this time to welcome Bob Jones to the Masta Zeta development team.  Bob will be the lead tester for the game going forward.

Stay tuned for updated and news.

MZ-2 Specifics

Well, I have decided on going with C++ for this first attempt at the Masta Zeta remake, due to the choice of the allegro library. Since I have now finished school, I have some time to devote to working on some projects. I welcome Peter Santos to the team. Pete will be working on the network code once I get to that stage. In the meantime, I'm still looking for an artist to help on the project.

Dreams

I have had a serious dream, I dreamt of a comet in the sky, all persuasive, unavoidable, resolute in the heavens. I had a dream of a dream, that the world was in an apocalypse, and nothing that pure dread was instilled upon myself, for this comet was, in my dream of a dream, something that would mean the end of civilization. I wonder, what does this mean? I wonder, what are dreams? This dream has given me such a fright as no dream has since I was a child...

Language Choices

I am slightly heading towards attempting to make MZ2 in C#. I've been reading up on the classes and in particular polymorphism and inheritance with regard to C# and they are quite powerful indeed. However, I am much more confident and familiar with C / C++. Decisions, decisions...
