@Ruz Yeah, start of Verstappen's championship winning streak until this year. When at the final race on 8th Dec 2025 Abu Dhabi F1 GP which had come down to a tussle between 3 drivers for this year's title Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. Norris took the win, becoming eleventh British driver in the history of…
Here is my little brain fart/saopbox... How Digital distribution can kill the brick in mortar stores like gamestop with out killing game devs. The key is resale. Take a systems like steam where you can buy games digitally, and allow people to sell their game back at percentage of the rate that the game is going for at that…
Thanks for all the comments, I didn't realise the images had come out that badly. I've included some JPGs this time which should hopefully be more easy on the eye. I like the zipwire idea, it's different. I may make it so they were communication wires between the buildings, rather than a zipwire itself, which may seem out…
Sorry m8, but what makes you say that? As far as I know it just adds another pass for the pixel shader. And probably the simplest one compared to spec map or normal map. Compared to dynamic lighting and vertex shading lightmapping is obviously the cheapest and the most efficient way to light things, and that would be…
Xoliul: Time passed and we got better, its often that simple in game development. UT had less resources than Gears which was developed in parellel so more features were added in support of Gears that didn't help with UT. For instance, much of the detail level of Gears is made possible by the streaming tech, but the same…
nope -realtime lighting is much faster and less time consuming for the art team as one time/weather cycle needs to be set up for all outside envs (maybe more if you have very different locals, but still just variations) all map/level/env artists need to worry about are small local lights. -baked lighting often requires…
"Streaming - why didn't they at least try to put in there? The load zones are too frequent and annoying. I'm being a little picky here I guess, I mean they crammed memory full of this awesome art, so there wasn't much room left, but I don't know, maybe Oblivion has spoiled me for that. Why can't I flip the camera controls?…
I actually had this update ready about a month and a half ago, but forgot about posting it here with how busy things have been. Here it is now though :) The next update is done! There were some things that came up, so I didn’t have as much to work on things as I usually do, but even so, there were still some important…
Much like the what are you threads, thought there was a topic on this & am interested in "stories" and since the main name of games is usually story i felt this was on topic. (For me) anything goes within reason. I stumbled upon this theorizer channel and saw this one video and the "verbal" story telling quality is…
