Caution: Men at Work

I know it might not seem like it by looking at this site, but Perplex Beats has changed a great deal since the version that was sent to Dream-Build-Play. A new puzzle element has been added, so expect that to be featured in the next video.

The puzzle tracks for the game’s 10 songs are being finalized, placeholder art is going out, and the whole game experience is coming into place.

If there’s one thing I regret its that its taken this long to get another video out there, but we’re hoping to have one made up soon.

I’ve written a tutorial for the Ziggyware Article contest. It’s my first article. Take a look and let me know what you think! The LanguageManager code file is actually a touched-up, more documented version of the language localization class in Perplex Beats. After finishing the tutorial I copied the class back into PB because I thought it was better than what was there before. It touches upon features like localizable objects (such as textures), and demonstrates how to design Extensions Methods into existing types, which is available now in XNA 3.0.
