   Thank! Mipmapping's been on my mind for a while, haven't gotten around to it because XNA doesn't easily support generating mipmaps at runtime (most games would do it in the XNA content pipeline preprocessor but CraftStudio textures can be e

   I rewrote the whole runtime in CoffeeScript. I'm basically using the exact same C# data files, I simply wrote the equivalent of the .NET BinaryReader in JS (using the recent ArrayBufferView WebGL typed array thing) to read back my binary pr

   I'm French myself so it wasn't much of a thing; I've asked the community to help with contributing new translations and I just received a Hebrew one for the website and the German is in the works. Definitely worth it in my case, since as I

   I'm trying to keep it affordable for everyone, hence the once-time payment. I plan to have a built-in store to allow sharing games & assets and when people sells their stuff on it, I'll take a cut (although people will still be able to

    Nope, no Wine dependency, just Mono. The Linux package is very young so it has some bugs still, I'm still figuring it out. EDIT: Missing (unlisted in the .deb metadata for now) dependencies include: - libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil

    CraftStudio is my real-time multiplayer "game to make games". I built it out of my own frustration with existing game-making tools and a desire to let everyone (gamers, most importantly) make their own games. Minecraft was an obvious inspir

    Thanks :). Yeah, embedding and exposing functions to Lua is very simple. Sandboxing it too: the I/O functions are confined to a few modules you can easily disable, which is a huge plus. And it's a fast, small language with no "complicated"

    I spent the last 4 months redesigning and improving CraftStudio and I just launched the Beta last night. It comes with a physics engine, a HTML5 Web player ( http://store.craftstud.io/games ) built with Three.js and Lua.js, a completely red

    The o at the end looks more like a zero (it is one pixel taller than other "o" letters). There is a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShpcjWG_Me0 called "drunk mom" but I'm not sure if it's related.

    Fair points. I already started mitigating this by disabling friendly fire for players with -1 score (that is, as soon as a player has team killed once and made no valid kills, they won't be able to teamkill again until they make one legit f

    It's a VM I rent (and use for various projects) on a fairly beefy server. I don't have the specs at hand sorry.

    The server is located in France and it's all TCP (because WebSockets) so the lag might get pretty bad. Like you say, client-side prediction would help a lot with hiding that. Right now I'm just doing some interpolation on the position (no e

    Thanks :). I spent a huge amount of time working with those techs lately so I'm pretty familiar with them. It's not like I could have done that from scratch. Over the last few weeks I wrote a Web player with Three.js / Lua.js to be released

    I'm afraid the game is pretty much designed to be played with a mouse as it requires precise shooting. I'd love to add gamepad support later on though, should work well with dual sticks ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/API/Gamepad

    Well... the server is getting hammered and the player list is like... more than full. Going to add some player limit to avoid ruining the game for everybody. EDIT: OK, server restarted, game is now limited to 20 active players, should help
