First tidbit of NS2...

Awesome !!!!!!

He says "selection" - it's just that Bay Area accent slurring the "L" sound.

If that was an L then we might as well delete that letter from the alphabet

I'm in the s'th and I want some s'p!

Cool video. Very cool.

damn awesome

Great effect, dynamic stuff ftw.

Cant wait to see stuff like fire spreading through a building

I wonder how they do it... Any insights? Also - it would be cool if the creep pulsates too, like if it's alive or something.

is it me or did it look like it was bubbling off the walls too? super cool, good job. should add a whole new effect to the game.

That is awesome. Will add great gameplay features for sure.

If I were to guess, I'd say it's something similar to a pathing mesh being generated

I'm thinking a mix of a Normal Map, and an animated height map, the blacks and the white mix in and out and make the growth. I could be wrong, the thing I am more curious about is how they are making a collision for it on the fly.

I think they might not bother. Depending on how "deep" they make the effect, it could be possible to make it not solid without looking daft. If it DOES have collision, then it could cause potential problems; for example infestation in an air vent might make it too small to go through.

hmmm good point my friend

good start

now it needs to look more 'realistic' like pulsating and such..

that could probably be simulated with an animating texture.

Oh man, I'm so much looking forward to NS2. It'd be great if the

"infestetion" would also create random alien eggs, plants etc. instead of

just that green slimy stuff.

i hope you can still stack those defensive towers, making a hallway full of them was freaking awesome.

gorgs rule \m/

Lerks forever! Flying and gas clouds, so much fun hanging around in a vent near the marine base and harassing them.

it would suck to make a vent a reasonable size, but having the dynamic infestation plug it

Wow, that is amazing
