    Holy f*ck that is dedication - especially for a non-commercial project!

    Looks sick man, I watched the whole video. Very nice, believable architecture. Reminds me of the "Existence HL" level by Crinity, that was pretty big too (for hl standards)..

    I hope you won't blow HL2's limitations when adding more props and detail, many of the interiors still look a little empty. Oh and you sure like that stormtrooper image don't you (or is that a placeholder texture for different billboards) ?

    How does it work?Game objects are overlaid on the live camera view (this technology is called Augmented Reality). When you turn around, your motion is calculated based on what is seen by the camera and the game view gets updated accordingly.

    As you can see, motion is the key. Unlike most games where you only train your fingers, you must actually move to play Arcade Reality!

    Nice

  • Ok, so what's your opinion on this?

    Quote from killertomato

    Also, read the whole thing before you regeardlessly stick up for your fellow Germans. I respectfully asked why they only spoke German. I did not yet know almost all Germans don't speak English. Next thing I know is theire saying they don't care about the English speaking part of the internet. Having said that, I think that's pretty blunt to say to someone who's just trying to be of help..

    I read the whole thing and I wouldn't think any differently if I or they weren't German.

    But hey - I even agree that it isn't very smart to reduce your userbase by speaking German on your board and this way exclude many future supporters right from the start.

    However instead of shrugging it off, you go on this whole tirade about them excluding you because "you are not German". They aren't putting their nation above anyone else - they are just talking German, do you speak English to fellow dutchmen? I think speaking your native language is a more common thing to do than speaking a foreign one, at least in most big countries.

    Anyway, it could very well be that this is something you were not aware of and I mistook your statements, therefore I apologize, but I still think your reaction on that board was uncalled for. They were speaking their language (and judging from that thread they surely don't speak German because they think they are better or want to exclude anyone) and didn't roll out the red carpet when you offered your help, but that's not a reason to get so angry about it.

    You asked for opinions on this thread- I gave you mine

  • Ok, so what's your opinion on this?

    So let me get this straight:

    You visit the board of a MOD team mainly consisting of German members and indirectly call them Nazis because they aren't willing to speak English on THEIR board but rather in THEIR native language?

    I'm surprised to see you guys have no shame at all in saying that you support your own kind (Germans) more then the other nations of the world. Where does this remind me of?I, for a fact know that, in Germany, almost all imported movies are synchronised in German and that it's nearly impossible to go to the theater to watch a movie in their original spoken language. I now see where this elitist behavior is coming from.

    They have repeatedly stated that their English isn't very good, that's why they communicate in their mothers tongue and you call them "elitist" ?

    You gotta wonder who's discriminating who here.

  • [REL] DoD_Edelweiß Beta 3

    wow - detective hessi strikes again.

    Although that was no big mistery to reveil I guess, one just needs to load up the level.

    It's a shame though because crafting as sloppy as that staircase really gives a bad impression. And I'm saying sloppy and not WIP, because you've posted this in the "finished work" section, where the stakes are higher and you did a pretty good job at hiding these spots on the screenshots you provided

    Let me know if you want this moved to the WIP section and you'll probably have an easier time getting away with that kind of stuff

  • [REL] DoD_Edelweiß Beta 3

    Gotta love that setting, two thumbs up for that!

    Just a bit work left to make it really awesome. I'd say work on those textures, all I see is bare brick walls everywhere. It's particularly bad in the 2nd shot, the windowframes. Try to make the texturing more interesting, possibly by adding some trims and supports here and there, maybe some railings, or add more destruction to the dull walls. Also - any way to make those shadows stronger? Most are barely visible, which result in some parts look a bit bland.

    The 2nd approach to assault by using the cable cars sounds intriguing..I'm curious if that is actually a serious option or if everyone inside those cars gets constantly slaughtered

  • Sales Breakdown for '06

    Quote from kleinluka

    This list only lists the sales figures from 2006. So anything after 2006 is not taken into account there...

    I think that the sales only include North America is the big factor here, but anyway - thanks everyone for the heads up!
