Hi guys,
Just thought I'd publicize Pubble, my open-source PS3 game, as I've now made it available for alpha release. It's very close to being completed finished, I mostly want to add a tutorial mode and make the main menu less confusing, but I'm going to be busy for a few weeks so I thought I'd let people see the current state of play and get some feedback for things to improve.
The website is http://pubble.ranulf.net/ and download instructions are available from the download page. Probably the express instructions are easier to follow, but I added more verbose instructions for anyone who's not feeling confident. The mass of text might be off-putting though, so again feedback is appreciated.
The game is written using my python-ps3 library which adds fast blitting, audio mixing and support for PS3 controllers to python - a language that's easy to learn and yet also very powerful. The library is now at a stage where it has a bootloader and so games can be released that don't require Linux or partitioning the hard disk as all the files live on a USB stick. All that's required is installing the otheros.bld onto the PS3 and that then searches all attached USB drives for the necessary files.
At some point soon when I have some free time, I'll be adding internet play so that you and your friends can compete against other players. However, I'm snowed under with other things at the moment, so this is won't be ready until around Christmas time.
Cheers,
Ralf.
