What is AGE ?

First of all, AGE stands for Advanced Game Engine. It doesn't really mean anything, but that makes a cool name. To make a brief summary, AGE is a game engine made in C++ and using DirectX 9 libraires (maybe OpenGL will be added later). It contains (read will contain) advanced 3D graphic management (animated models, lightning, particles, shader effects, etc..), sound management, physics, as well as some basic game function such as heightmapping, cameras and basic AI. The point of this project is to make something that works, at first, then to publish it under my name and gain some renown. Then, maybe a game project will come up (don't count on that too soon).



Who am I ? My nickname is GLForce, and my real name Gabriel Lachance (see from where comes the GL). I am currently in software engineering. I programmed since I was 12 years old, but started it really seriously (read : stopped doing Visual Basic) when I was about 15. I'm now 20 (shoot, I'm getting old quicker than my engine, a script should take care of my other age problem). I think that's about it. Oh yeah, before you ask it : yes I'm a french canadian.

Still Alive

Well, I should say rising from the ashes, because after another year of inactivity, I'm back to work on my beautiful baby. Now, the major thing is I'm starting over from zero. You heard me. The old AGE is now buried deeply underneath to make place for the new-born, still named AGE. After so much frustrations and despair in face of total chaos, I had no choice. Moreover, some of the classes I had in software engineering gave me some help to give my engine a better structure. Except for the structure, AGE hasn't lost its primary goals. It will be an engine with classic graphics, sound, and physic functions, plus some more advanced game concepts, like AI for example. Currently, only the basic object structure has been done, and basic visuals are on their way. Prepare to be very soon astonished by the uncanny results of my hard work. Talking about work, I've got some waiting for me. I guess I'll se you soon. One word : Courage !
