Just thought I’d share this awesome Old Spice ad with you!
Check it out, its pretty good for a single shot! Their channel has some other very good ad’s too.
As for the programming sides of things, well, slowly getting there! I might post a few screenshots soon!.

Was playing around yesterday with the engine, and got parallax scrolling to work. With enough layers this effect looks pretty awesome if I say so myself. I’ve only used 2 layers of clouds, but that was just for testing purposes 
Watch parallax-scrolling in action! (Basic Engine Test)
“Parallax scrolling is a special scrolling technique in computer graphics, seen first in the 1982 arcade game Moon Patrol. In this pseudo-3D technique, background images move by the “camera” slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D video game and adding to the immersion. The technique grew out of the multiplane camera technique used in traditional animation since the 1940s.”

I haven’t posted any updates in a while… and it’s because I’ve been a bit distracted & busy . Anyway, I thought I will let you all know that we’re currently underway on our first 2D platformer game (unnamed at this time of writing). I’m currently writing the engine & editor for it, and soon we’ll get started on creating the levels and all the fun stuff. Stay posted, more updates soon!
