Click on the gift to download it. (requires an Xbox360 gamepad)

Unfortunately the game is the same released on Xbox Live, with no enhancements and supports only the Xbox 360 Gamepad (wireless and wired) so no keyboard and other pads. this due to the lack of time to work again on this project and a bad design of the input handler.

If you want to play it on Xbox360, the game is still available on Marketplace at 1$/1euro/80 microsoft points

If you have some problems with the game, you should install:

(the poor quality of the video doesn't matter)

I'm going to finish the development of the game.

The final game core is so simple so don't expect a long game.

Boring is also on playtesting on XNA Creators Club. Take a look.

Boring is on Hold

2009-09-06T04:51:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately the development is on hold because I have two university exams.

You have to wait for around 10 days.

Last Days

2009-08-23T09:11:00.000-07:00

Sorry if I haven't update the game/blog for a lot but I was on Holyday.

The worst game ever is almost unfinished.

The menus are waiting your inputs from around a month and during the next week there won't be the last session of testing.

stay tuned, sooner than waht you think i'll post some updates.

PS: can't you see the words in the image 'cause they are white?Don't worry I'll change soon the theme of this blog.

Nightmare Build Play

2009-08-03T08:50:00.001-07:00

Today I've submit Boring to the Dream Build Play 2009 Challenge.

I've work on it only in the last two days (with today) so the game really sucks and looks very bad.

Fortunately tomorrow i'll be in Barcelona (Spain) so I had to submit the game today (the submission endline is 6th august).

Nevermind, I never trust in this game, I've submit it only to gain experience with deadlines(what?).

The game will be surely better when it will be released on Xbox Indie Games.

Have a good summer.

Exams are back!

2009-07-19T09:37:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately Boring Project is stopped during all the next week because I've two "impossible" examinations.

Thanks Dijkstra for this (and for pathfinding).

In the video below you can see Boring as it was on 13th of July.

When It's Done

2009-07-13T06:36:00.000-07:00

I think I've worked on this project too much in the last 3 days so I need a break ('cause it's too much hot here,damned hot wave from sahara) and you won't see a new really good-looking trailer for a while (if I can made it)

Now:

The basic game logic it's almost finished.
I have very few bugs so I won't fix them.
Some models need to be changed.
I need to test the game.

And Remember:

BUYING this game will allow me to get ENGLISH LESSONS.

Some News at Last [cit.]

2009-07-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

Hi again,

I've been so busy(thanks university) in the past weeks so Boring got only some marginal improvements.
First I've discovered a new -never seen- innovative post processing filter wich I've called Bloom (Never heard right? I'm pretty sure of that.)

Then I've developped few gameplay mechanics and I had a great Idea that will change the videogame industry forever, I'll tell you some info about it in the next days.

PS: For those who don't understand I'm very ironic in this post.

Some News - HLSL & Particle System

2009-06-21T10:24:00.000-07:00

Today I learned some basics elements of HLSL(High Level shading Language) and I put in the game a particle engine(needs to be calibrate).

You can see the result here:

Now I'm working on some bugs and I'm waiting for testing feedbacks.

Post Scriptum:

How you can see this blog looks awful, advices will be well accepted 'cause i haven't time to work on it now. Summer Calls.

Boring Space Shooter Some Gameplay Features Revealed & Testing Started

2009-06-20T11:30:00.000-07:00

After two Exams I'm back.

Now the game includes some "new" gameplay features that you've already seen in other games.
I like testing so i decided to start game testing early to calibrate the gameplay step by step.

In the video you can see so many horrible things but the game is in an early stage of development, so don't mind, I won't fix them and the final version will be truly Boring!

Boring Space Shooter Concept Demo

2009-06-14T02:24:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,

This is a concept video of my first XNA project, named "Boring Space Shooter". Development started 6 Days ago and now i'm working on basilar gameplay mechanics.

The final game will be a Geometry Wars clone with something new and I already know that will be a flop, but who cares? I only need to do experience with XNA(and English of course XD).

Stay Tuned.

PS: The horrible effects you've seen in the video below are momentary. I still had to add simply shaders.
