I need to do something to build confidence. I've gotten stuck on other projects because I feel like every decision is the wrong decision. So I need to work on something with actual concept art that I can lean on and not improvise too much. I'll take Faldor's Kitchen. Been working on the graybox since mid morning. Treating…
@Eric Chadwick One more thing - do you happen to know how most people shade dynamic objects when they fall into lightmapped areas etc? I've played a couple of mobile games now that have obvious lightmaps and fake shadows for the player, yet the player does get shaded in baked shadow areas. There's a couple of possibilities…
Hey Pola, I think you've done a good job to outline every asset which needed to be produced however the design itself lacks identity. The User Interface is the first thing a player will see upon buying/playing a game. As such, (generally speaking) it's pretty important to get as much of the styling of the game as you can…
@halldor "how can I make the settings stick, always when I press play I need to change it again" 1. Open the level blueprint. Blueprints > Open Level Blueprint 2. Create an "Event Begin Play" node 3. Right-click and search for "Get Player Controller" and add it to the graph 4. Drag off of the "Get Player Controller" return…
hey, RVN gorronegro thanks for checking back and the nice suggestion :) yes, i think stattraks are ever so cool and i have the feeling they could/should be taken further. i tried several things for my knives and now have three different ones that i use. i used my old cellphones and mp3-player as reference for these. but…
I found running it through steam dropped my framerate a bit. Not the steam version just running it through steam, if I closed down steam and went into the steam planetside 2 directory and ran the launcher directly it helped. Most all of the issues are CPU related as the client is very poorly multithreaded. It'll slam 2 of…
[ QUOTE ] As for the Wii, screwing the consumer may be a bit harsh, but from what I'm to understand with it, there are a crapload of accessories that IMO, should have been included with the system. Like the LAN adapter. Does the nunchuck even come with the system? (considering they advertise as though it does) I guess I…
There has been a massive uproar in the (PC gaming) community over this. Bit of a fiasco. DICE even jumped in and said they were definitely having dedicated servers for Bad Company 2, since they think it's so integral to keeping a good experience. If MW2 goes entirely P2P multiplayer (which I believe is well established on…
One thing you should also keep in mind is how grounded the player is when given "MMO" specs. Can the players fly? Double Jump? Climb walls? Jump at all? Is the player 4 inches tall? If Cryptic is testing you, I can guess it might have super powers involved ;) Did you model / texture the tops of the buildings as well? These…
I played about 200 hours of L4D. The gameplay is pretty fun for a few months, but with the lack of Valve's commitment to update to fix bugs / exploits the gameplay gets really bad once people use the exploits in practically every game. On top of that, L4D has the most immature player base I have ever seen online. The lobby…
