I've been here about 10 years and the "lets make a game" thread has popped up now and then, it never goes anywhere. I actively try to limit my gameplay time, there's way too many good games out, there's typically 1 or 2 life destroying games that hit me each year, looking at my steam list the most recent few are: Skyrim:…

Absolutely! I love 67P, and this is based on that overall shape, which it turns out is fairly common among 1.5-4.5km objects. I've made about 16 different varieties of asteroids & comets that fit those observed in our solar system. It would be really awesome to have a terrain mesh in 3D that could wrap to a geometry, then…

So its literally a matter of being accurate when plausible (i.e. when taking the images yourself) but when using sources provided matching them as close as possible to similar objects i.e. like the library marmoset has kindly offered for a few objects. By equalising I meant…

Finding myself captivated by the whole setting. Not played many games recently due to hype/disappointment so this is a breath of fresh air. This game…
The cold/flu isn't directly responsible for the pus blisters on your face, you get that from kissing dirty boys. [/ QUOTE ] What you use a secret web cam on me Rick or what.

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to discuss a highly technical topic today. It's about the incredibly realistic animations in the upcoming game ILL.
