    Looks very awesome but I hope this is just not another indie platformer with a portal weapon or something, like all the other 90% indie games.

    It's UDK, I'm making all the textures and modular meshes myself except of course for the character (that's just a shitty placeholder to check out the scale. Will see if I can find a better dummy human model later).

    All the textures are 100% hand painted and the normals made in nDo. I want to see how far I can take this without using photos (will probably end up using a few photos just for subtle overlays here an there though). The diffuse maps are all WIP, still need to add a lot of small details for scale.

    Here's a quick mockup of the door diffuse, the brightness is all screwed up but I'm still trying to get used to how UDK handles textures:

    Progress is gonna take forever though since I never really have time to work long sessions on this

    This is going to be a high-tech industrial complex. haha guess it's still too early to post this

    Anyway, I wanted to post it early on to show my process as that might be useful to some people.This first iteration is still missing a lot of readability and scale elements (which I'm going to add next). Basically I'm just kitbashing a few basic pieces to see what kind of shape language I want to go for. This is a great way to plan ahead what kind of modular pieces you are going to need, scale of pieces and how much existing textures you can reuse.

    Started a new side project this weekend, still super bland and repetitive but already getting the vibe I want with this

    Looks interesting. Hope it's a cool sci-fi flick instead of teenage horror crap.

    28 Weeks Later. Always heard this movie sucked ass but it's in fact one of the best zombie movies I have ever seen. Pretty different and unusual take on the theme

    not sure about that, those dictators just usually hid the stuff better (using secret service doing this kind of stuff in some basements). the problem is that those rebels don't fit our image of Ghandis that want to just remove the system and then have tolerance and peace nor do they fit the image of true representatives of their nation - often devided by ethnicies, confessions, religion, skin colour, education, wealth level - whatever they can come up with - they represent only a certain part, often those who have been surpressed before. Just that instead of learning from their own experience in oppression, it seems they seek payback more than equality, replacing one system with another. instead of seeking a democracy, equality of beliefs, division of power they grasp for power themselves, put the laws of their beliefs in front of secularity and basically just turn the sides on who sits on top.

    if anything, we can hope that at some point during those revolutions and unrest the ones who actually want to see equality get the say.

    Yep, they are just replacing a violent and oppressive system with an even worse one imo. One example that comes to mind is Gaddafhi. He was demonized by the western media but if you look for facts he wasn't all that bad. Libyan women enjoyed some of the highest degrees of freedom among arab nations and Libya had also one of the highest HDI in Africa (higher than Brazil even lol). I don't think those savages who anally raped Gaddafhi before beating him to death are going to build a better country.

    I don't really know what the situation is in Syria but I don't think we should just jump on the bandwagon and hail these rebels as freedom fighters:

    That's some pretty fucked up stuff. Honestly I think these countries would be better off with their current dictators than with these savage rebels.
