So having taken a break from Caster for a while to work on some other projects, and then having taken a break from working on games in general over this Christmas break (playing a few instead), I’m pumped about working on Caster again!
I have some ideas for game play and story that I’m really excited about.
Story has been a weak point for Caster and hopefully the next few updates will make it more compelling.
I’m also adding in better mod support. Instead of adding in mods in a separate mods directory, I’m going to treat them like separate game with their own sub directory.
Before I release the next update to Caster, I’ll be releasing Sunshine as a mod of Caster. Most of my initial work on Sunshine has been in 2D (because I wanted to do something “simple” ), it looks like I’m going to promote that to 3D as well. A lot of the game play will be 2D, but I might play around with the camera a bit.
As far as updating the visual style for Caster (higher poly, shaders, etc), I’ll probably wait until Caster 2 to do that.
Here’s for a great 2011 with some sweet updates to Caster!

I would love to see some of the features that you put on the pc version on the iphone version like blur, and glow.

Ooooh! More Caster updates coming and teasing about Caster 2? AND the mysterious “Sunshine” as a free mod? Now we’re just being spoiled.
Something occurred to me the other day as I was playing Minecraft: it is an awesome game, but the cube-based levels would hinder running across the landscape: [insert your name for Caster here] would constantly be tripping over the edges! I am eagerly anticipating more Caster levels in which to traverse at ludicrous speeds.

You guys could make a story line like this
1) he finds out his dad is the nega dude whos creating the FlanX
2) and his dad has like and evil purple aura around him
3) the caster then get unleashed when he finds his dad and turns like GLOWING black and his powers are all black and hes waaaaay my faster and stronger and he like learns how to hover over the ground or fly…..that would be sooo cool!!!!!
He should learn more powers and you guys should make legendary armor were he has to go to the bermuda triangle were he enters a prison world and rescue everyone after his friend TRix finds out that his dad created the bermuda triangle and get unleashed(Awoke) and starts glowing white and blows up the place while your fighting some giant snake like FlanX in order to retrieve the legendary Caster armor and Trix dad used a power wand to channel his energy..and all that stuff and they both cast there dad’s into the center of the planets…..that be sick

you should make the water fly up behind him to and make him go even faster like after awhile he gets faster…and then like the sound barrier breaks and it show like a funnel in front of him or make it so he can run in circles and make a tornado….
