Lone Survivor v0.2 – [Play Online]<\/a><\/strong>
\nNOTE:<\/strong> It’s recommended you have no other Flash windows running to see good performance.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, just say I was going to re-build my survival horror engine (as seen in Soundless Mountain II<\/a>) in Flash…<\/p>\n

To re-create the lighting \/ fog \/ film-grain effects, I’d probably need to harness the power of Flash 10.0’s all new ‘Pixel Bender’ tech. This is like having programmable PS3-style shaders at your disposal. At the moment it runs in software, but it’s still faster than pure Actionscript 3 (Flash language).<\/p>\n

From the research I’ve done on the net, no-one’s combined this tech with pixel art as yet (partly because it’s fiddly to set up I think, and it’s so new) – so let me know how it runs for you.<\/p>\n

Press A\/Z to move the secondary lights. Press Left \/ Right to move your player – there’s no walk cycle yet though!<\/p>\n

The reason I’m posting is that I’d love to know what framerate you’re seeing, and your specs – press the ‘|’ key or the ‘\u00ac’ depending on your machine to bring up the console and see your framerate.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
