Nah, I want you to do both. ;) the highRes is actually in the SVN, so if you want to, have at it :) Just making sure we're on the right track to get the vertical slice done. Guns / Turret / Map Props are the most important things on our list now. @ShadowBrain: I'm sorry - I usually record those videos at like 2 or 3am, so…

256x256 textures will fracture PS2 memory, IIRC. The texture size also depends on the bit depth. The optimal size for an 8bit texture for example, is 128x64. This fits into a single page of memory. If you use a 4bit texture, then 128x128 is the optimal size. An 8bit 256x256 texture will use 4 pages of memory, and could…
Someone should make a game that would seek to educate gamers about why and how they should donate in a fun way. Have key points in the game where they would have to aknowledge they have a paypal account set up to advance futher. Maybe towards the end they have to donate just 1 cent to fight the final boss. You gotta take…
