I don't mind... I've been an alpha/beta tester of software for a very long time, and know how it goes with early stages of game development. (I've even built a few programs up to alpha myself)

[Blightmare]

Well as long as you're cool with a lot of primitive shapes trying to kill you we should be good XD

 

Also I just found out that Crytek has their Crysis 3 art book up for free so I checked it out. Just browsing through a few pages I learned a bunch of things about material creation that will really help in the long run. I wish I did this sooner.

[BTGBullseye]

I played an alpha where I ran around as a purple and black cube, shooting purple and black cubes with purple and black cubes fired from a purple and black cube... I think I can handle shapes.

 

I'll have to check out the art book... It should be interesting.

Sounds like an alpha of Saints Row.

[BTGBullseye]

It wasn't. It turned into a pre-alpha of another game that ended up completely different. (and also ended up not having ANY purple and black cubes, despite their appeal as weapons)

[Alyxx Thorne]

It was kind of a joke... the colour of the Saints is purple.

[BTGBullseye]

I know, I understood.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Anyone else hyped for this?

So for one of the games I decided to get a couple easy models out of the way. Just the typical barrels and crates and what not. I just finished the traffic cone and.... that's gotta be the easiest model I've ever made. 10 minutes and this is what I have.

 

 

 

 

 

Like it's gonna be small on the screen so you won't see any of the rough edges but even then for such a simple low poly model darn thing looks nice. Now why can't my complex stuff ever turn out this good

 

Edit: I should maybe make a topic for this in the games section?

Go for it.

[BTGBullseye]

That looks like a good Mad Max movie...

 

Yes, make a thread for the game.

[Blightmare]

Threads up. Now to get back to working. I should at least get the sidescrollers blocked in level done.

 

Edit: also this is the art book I was talking about. links to the PDF

Seems like more of a technical book than a straight up art book but it's helpful for me so I'm happy.

[BTGBullseye]

I will be looking at it. Thanks.

 

Oh, and I'm making a cake right now... Strawberry. With Duff brand white frosting. Total cost of all ingredients and electricity: about $4.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Strawberries are good.

[BTGBullseye]

Yeah, the cake turned out well enough that my Dad (who doesn't like strawberry anything, except for real actual strawberries) actually said it was "very good".

[Alyxx Thorne]

Congrats then

[BTGBullseye]

Thanks.

SO I was working on my cryengine game and attempting to break it any way I can for the purpose of fixing it, and, well, I found out what happens when you set the game to first person when using a third person camera. It screws up the model since it renders a different one. so headless floating body aside, another gem appeared that happens behind the scenes when you look up or down.

 

Behold, nightmare fuel:

 

 

 

 

 

This is the best laugh I've had all month.

You mean backs aren't supposed to bend that way?

[BTGBullseye]

I vote you make an SCP about it.

 

Oh, I also might have a job on the way... At least it looks good, I hope it works out...
