I’m big in to retrocomputing, so there may be a few Commodore Amiga computers laying around for tinkering and inspiration. I should bring out my Commodore 64’s soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580586914888-M4UJUKC3DWPPIUY4RWM2/IMG_4284.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - The Big Screen We write games that support mobile devices, but I primarily work with a touch screen laptop running Windows. I prefer editing my code on the laptop screen, and then running the game on a 55 inch TV. This helps me see every pixel! If I could afford a 100 inch TV, I would buy one. (That would make it a lot easier to see “every pixel” at 4k resolutions) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580587248124-CH0BHUUUDX2MU4FOZNS7/IMG_4285.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - The Amiga Corner Scorched Tanks is the first game I ever released way back in 1993, and it’s running great on this Amiga 500. My trusty Amiga 1200 is off screen, and that’s where I can be caught playing Megaball AGA from time to time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580587744615-NKAVL0EFHD6O4UQNDC5I/puzzlecatcher_inspiration.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - The Books That Built Puzzle Catcher These books served me well during the creation of Puzzle Catcher. The quilting book “Color Play” taught me about color theory and patterns. “Computational Geometry in C” and “Graphics Gems 3” had algorithms on various ways to slice and dice lines and polygons. Books about M.C. Escher and tessellating patterns were hugely influential in creating tile sets and board designs. And to write my new User Interface (UI) framework, I had to bring out the “big guns” for programming a system that is 100% data-driven and supports scripting. (Lua is awesome!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580589539870-JD8QX90VV8S4MHMWJUMY/puzzle_prototype.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Super Puzzle is Born Using a ton of technology lifted from Super DX-Ball, I threw this game prototype together in a few weeks. (level editor, brick collisions, brick falling code, etc…) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580589823341-03HCCXDEZBTWCXRNK84F/gamelab_zoomdemo.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Too Many Screen Sizes These Days! Up to this point, we were able to tweak Pocket Tanks to look good on all the latest iOS and Android devices. It wasn’t easy, but we managed by manually adjusting everything every button to all the wild new device resolutions. But if we were going to make new games, and easily update Pocket Tanks in the future, we needed a fully modern UI framework that can handle every resolution. Enter Zoom, the BlitWise in-house UI framework. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580590623956-QEML0EL56P71QPWZZVGY/zoom_in_action_thumb.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Zoom Lives! This doesn’t look like much, but it took me a year just to get this far. Writing an entity-based engine that is similar to the latest and greatest tools like Unity3d is very exciting work, but deeply technical! It’s fun to write this kind of stuff, but wasn’t I supposed to be writing a game? It’s hard to be a jack-of-all-trades game programmer sometimes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580591006406-QLK6PH02RL6OVL8N4ATK/zoom_bubbles_thumb.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Interns to the Rescue After a year of working on Zoom, I invited some talented students to visit the BlitWise studio once a week to help me test out the new Zoom system. No C/C++ compiler was needed, just a text editor and the ability to edit .xml and .lua files. We made silly demos like this “Bubbles” example. Here, Lua code is attached to each bubble object causing it to wobble and float to the top of the screen. This is a radical departure from my typical 1990’s C/C++ “hard code everything” style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580592678231-777NXTO3KVQME6VEC7ZK/logo_work.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Start With The Logo For some reason, I can’t take a game project seriously until is has proper logo and title screen. It’s like I need the logo to anchor my mind and set the tone for the rest of the project. As you can probably tell, these early sketches were not doing it for me. I really needed a name that I liked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580592900795-6ZT4GDZ7MGN6V92R673R/logo_sketch.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Getting Close I was looking for something with a demoscene vibe, and this lettering fit the bill. The triangular curved tiles on the bottom helped hint at the gameplay as well as give it a sporty & energetic look. I was still trying to sneak “Catcher” in there somewhere. This was close enough, so it was time to bust out Blender3D and make it come to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580593330019-V6AN0WK9KIS7FINAYPNW/titlescreen_sketch.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Time to Make the Title Screen With a proper logo designed, a title screen sets the stage for the entire game. This is pretty darn close to exactly what I made for the final game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580593516716-88TWI9YQFYGOWBCBOZRV/gamescreen_sketch.jpg Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Early Game Screen Sketch Originally I wanted the “tumbler” on the left to be a GameBoy-like sci-fi device that projected the “hologlass”, a solid holographic display, on the right. I worked hard on several graphical effects to sell that idea, but mobile devices just didn’t have that kind of horsepower back in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580594053050-6VWPG5R4EMQEZLXN33DZ/tedit1.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Super DX-Ball’s Level Editor Saves the Day Back in 2003, It took me a year to write TEdit, the level editor for Super DX-Ball. TEdit is perfect for exploring the possible tile sets and also making the board packs. This is “Happy Frog” from the Brilliance Pack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580594258780-VOVVUJFHOQAHBV6E48XK/tedit2.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Filling Things In To create a board, I use the tiles to draw a level. Later on, when loading the board into the game, I use various algorithms to punch out that hole where the tiles were placed on the screen. When playing Puzzle Catcher, all you see is an empty shape where you can place any tiles that you like. This is the “Fiery Steed” level from the Fire Diamonds Pack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580594661833-M2PQD2S5RSX6G4GQURCF/tedit3.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Beautiful Patterns Often I create board packs with recognizable objects and catchy names that are easy for players to remember and talk about. But towards the end my level design efforts, I took a chance and made levels with more abstract patterns that are inspired by quilting. My wife does not quilt, but this is her favorite pack! This level is “Around the Clock” from the Rolling Stars Pack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580595511121-YBBJCOYGZ273NQ6BYACL/title_zoomdesign.png Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Dreams Come True This was the first time that the Zoom framework was used in a real game. We had a few bumps and bruises along the way, but this technology makes quick work of UI that look great on iPhone3G, iPhoneX, iPad Pro, and the Android device flavor of the month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0ced62f6901c542d06a321/1580596318101-KYNRBPXCMW3BPYJR8GU1/puzzlecatcher_play.gif Mike's Dev Blog - The Making of Puzzle Catcher - Putting It All Together After several years of combined engine and game work, it all started to come together in 2017.
