Hello everybody. Our studio has held another mini-conference Km Code'n'Coffee # 3 for IT people from Khmelnytskyi. This time the event took place in our new office. By the way, the office is spacious and modern — a perfect place for such gatherings. About 50 people attended the conference, among them Rudavskyi Roman.
A lot of interesting innovations were added to the latest version: program animation of characters instead of frame animation, possibility to tear off parts of the body, survival mode, stationary guns, missions for the quest mode, new weapons, perks and bonuses. The mechanics of getting weapons was also hanged.
Hi everybody! In this part we are going to talk about tile-based levels, editor for them, new system of waves and new weapons, as well as challenges associated with menus. And yes, we have finally found an artist and will be happy to present some new art to you.
Hi everybody! For more than two weeks our studio has been working hard on a new project. We are developing a 2d top-down shooter and a little unusual perspective for characters (we are discussing it later). Now is the time to tell all about it. This is the first post from a series about developing a two-dimensional game on Android.
Often, when drafting a project a situation arises where the assigned tasks are difficult to solve by existing standard development tools.

Standard MapKit has also been completely redesigned and adapted to work with a new Apple mapping service.
To work with Behat php Mink library is used in Symfony 2. Behat uses a default goutte driver for all tests. This driver works pretty quickly, but it does not support Javascript.
Graylog is a non standard solution for logging with the ability to set up alerts for certain events, as well as real-time viewing of filtered events. It’s written in RoR, fast, reliable and has informative graphs.

Gitorious is a repositories hosting based on a distributing version of Git control system. This is the second popular service after Github. The source code for the project is available on the AGPL license.
PHP refactoring is really cool! But in the process of fulfilling it, some routine operations and repetitive actions with the code are rather frequent. And in the end there still may remain a lot of syntax errors. Well it often kills any initiative. And surely this is not cool.
