(Part 2 of 2)
Just a recording of the developer commentary from Left 4 Dead. It’s an amazing game, and Valve is probably one of the best game development companies to date. They at least seem to genuinely care about their fanbase, and they develop great games. Part of what makes their games so awesome is that they AREN’T just random blastfests. At heart, yes, they are still videogames, but Valve doesn’t begin crafting a game with that in mind. Valve begins development on a game with an experience in mind, and with the player in mind. These commentaries are really informative and entertaining. They’re great if you’re a fan of Left 4 Dead, but I also think they’re really interesting if you have even the slightest liking for video/computer games, and I think they’re a must-watch if you’re even CONSIDERING going into the game development field.

The first day of my straight week of game development.
My computer was screwed for the majority of the day, so I got a late start and didn’t get to cover everything that I wanted (corrupted oleaut32.dll, wtf?), but it’s aight.
Accomplished:
- Engine exits gracefully when files are screwed
- Debug printing system
- Changed all the FILE *s to ifstreams (in level loading, at least).
Screwed up:
- Other playable characters awhile back, and I forgot about it.
- My brain (I’m tired).
GOOD NIGHT.
