Thanks man! I try to work on it most evenings but it only ends up being a few hours here and there. This is the first game I have made so it's slow going, and making a game involves A LOT more work than I ever thought. Progress is happening though, the flying element is fun enough, rockets and destructable blocks are fun,…
Thanks peeps! This thread will also motivate us to keep pushing on. Everyone is doing this on their own time and so you all know hard that can be. Again Josh did an amazIng job capturing my original vision and then adding to it with his gorgeous style. Even when he whipped up the proxy base mesh, I was do happy with how he…
I'm not really keen with constantly updating pieces - for me once something is done it's finished, it might not be perfect but if it takes more effort to update older work than to make something from scratch I start anew. BTW, here's a fun bit - the head that started everything was an attempt to update the character in…
I totally understand Greever's viewpoint and think it's fucking idiotic. I'm a pretty reasonable guy, but some shit is just laughably stupid. I don't even have enough time to make fun of all the stupid shit Greever says that's worth making fun of. Ultimately it comes down to this: a lot of people's belief systems are…
mop: all a forgiveable byproduct of the game that TA was. Total Annihilation was, in many ways, the anti-Starcraft... Blizzard believes that an RTS has to be meticulously balanced and controlled to be fun and to work properly, but even with all their careful considerations and redressings it's arguable if it's necessarily…
DaZ: Hahahahah! These are just really, really fun to make. And it takes very little time to get the results you're thinking of in your head. I've never thought about working on the new handhelds. So you've just given me an idea. Obey is there for fun. I used to write on my textures but I haven't done so in a while. So I…
And Far Cry on the PC looks better than the 360, who cares. I have a 360 if I want "next gen under kill" (bloom effect + shitty spec maps does not = great game) I'll go play it. I will be buying the Wii because it will have interesting games that will more than likely be fun for a month or two. I'm buying a Wii not because…
Computer Technician when I was 16 years old. I worked for 3 hours a day building and trouble shooting all the computers the small company got in. It was nice because I got a super fun job doing computer related work at 16, and they got a knowledgable tech for minimum wage, hahaha. It only lasted 6 months before the company…
Congrats on branching out! People who are hungry to learn and expand their skill sets often go really far and have a lot of fun doing it =) That looks like a fun way to do mocap, but be warned there is a lot that mocap can't do, or rather, there are a lot of motions that you will be unable to do properly and there will be…
RJ good on you for joining the military. Basic is nothing. Most kids are just homesick and never been away from home. Have fun. Do as much as you can while you are in and use it to your full advantage. You'll make some life long friends in the military, and have a lot of fun experiences. Good luck with tech school. Guys…
