begalbrew: Adventures in homebrew - part 1

Hello XPG,



This being the opener for my new blog, I'll keep it fairly short and simple, we won't get into any code in the next few entries, for now I will only be showing and discussing some of the steps in building my current "test" project.



So I have recently started a new venture outside of my general tooling around in samples and old open source code, this new venture I believe will bring a new light to the 360 Jtag-RGH user scene since I do plan on eventually sharing my methods, build techniques, and tricks that will allow all users to build their own games and share them with the scene



so for now , here a a few pics and vids of some things I have tested along the way learning the basics behind building game code



here is a simple animation test that shows a quickly drawn cloud background and a male character running, no real point , just to test the animations.

here again is a different test with some very generic graphic anims

here is a quick vid showing my temporary menu setup , still choosing graphics and fonts etc ..

here is a screenshot of the credits screen option I added to the menu after shooting the above clip









So now that I have the base menu down, and a couple test builds of the basic game before I built the menu, it's time to start tying the pieces together and adding some levels and other essential things to make a good game structure , then I will finalize with upgraded graphics etc..



until next time, thanks for reading best wishes and happy coding to everyone
