  • Puzzle game video

    Looks like the work in progress is gone and since its not released I'll put it here.

    I have been working the past 3 years on a Unity3D based game called ballitis.

    Its on steam greenlight now and here is a gameplay video.

  • ITT: Post maps/scenes that never saw the light of the day.

    The last 2 maps are ins_escort, a map for a new gamemode for insurgency I wanted to do but never came around.

    The construction site was for Tactical Intervention, not sure if what happened to it, last time I saw it , it was carved full of holes and I have no idea if it made it to the mobile version of the game actually.

    May al well also mention the other screens are from a game called Deep6.

  • Whatever happened to Insurgency Mod

    Quote from Thrik

    When I say 'mod' I think 'modification or total conversion of an existing game which is required to play it'. When I say 'indie game' I think 'standalone game that can be enjoyed without relying on any other games being installed'. It can get blurry especially when it comes to Steam, but I think the general rule of thumb is that if you can get hold of the game without having to buy or install any other games it's an independent release.

    Exacly how I see it too

  • Duke Nukem Forever

    Its everything I expected from it and enjoying it.

    Had to turn off the crappy post process effects that made it look all to blurry and a goofed distance view, like I have too in so many other games.

    Ofcourse there is some WTF stuff like a load screen every level change that seems to be there just to show the plyer some tips and only 2 weapons at a time.

  • Bin Laden is DEAD!

    Quote from Skjalg

    Lol you gotta admit that its a little suspicious that no images or videos of evidence has surfaced of his death.Its just as likely that he got taken alive and is being held somewhere and tortured.

    Just coincidence but one of his former bodyguards was interviewed the day before by a Belgian and he said it was their job to kill Osama if the Americans were about to capture him.

    What makes me conclude thats probably exacly what happened.

    Anyway its about time, the Brittisch had a shot already but were called back because it had to be done by the Americans themselves :)

    Good for Obama, his popularity will get another boost.

  • Portal 2

    Finnished it, says 4.5 hours on my profile page but I guess their server has ben down for a while or someting because I think it took me around 7 hours.

    Did some sightseeing as well just to see how they did things and looking at the animations on the screens around the elevators so it wasn't a rush playtrough,

    I just had little trouble finnishing the puzzles and never had to give up and try again later with a fresh mind :)

    I think people who did not play the orriginal will have it a little bit tougher.

    Humor was great , duration was shorter as I hoped for but the levels look amazing.

    Just too bad I can't try out the coop.

    I was missing the sound of footsteps, could hear them on glass tough.

  • Dragon Age 2 demo

    My first impressions?

    Played as a Rogue and combat felt pretty cool and playing as a mage is probably not the big advantage it was in DA.

    Textures on characters look improved.

    Cons: I got a bunch of loading interuptions during the ingame cinematics.

    Menu's clearly have been done with consoles in mind.

    I hope the game isn't going to be too linear.

  • Retail threatens Steam ban

    I have always been a fan of Steam, but now they are too big and I don't like how steamworks is done.

    things like chat, achievements and server lists should not be tied to a store application.

    So I try to support Stardock's impulse::Reactor instead as they offer a solution that gives you all the same stuff without ties to a store page.

    (as steamworks should have been if Valve really were such nice guys)

    Quote from Steppenwolf

    What has that to do with anything? The industry and the economy don't stand still and that's a good thing. I wouldn't mind another digital distributer with a 40% market share because then Valve couldn't just translate Dollar prices 1:1 to Euro.

    Thats not really Valve, but the publishers demanding it or you get the "not availeble in your region" stuff like it was in the past.

    I can understand it a bit, as long as they are not going to charge more for EU users if the dollar value goes ever above the euro again

  • Duke Nukem Forever

    Quote from D3ads

    I'm pretty sure that they would have to start the game from scratch rather than use content by 3D Realms?

    I suspect Gearbox finishing DNF (with 3D Realms keeping an eye?) was part of an agreement to resolve the issues between 2K and 3D Realms

    instead of fighting it out in court.

    Can't wait for the reviews an even if its not that good, I probebly buy it anyway out of nostalgic feelings.

  • death?

    I do not believe in a afterlife, if there is a heaven/hell that must be some overcrowded place by now.

    The universe is the ultimate recycler tough, so reincarnation might just work, after all the universe is a big place.

    And sometimes I believe that whatever you believe is what you will expirience in the last second of your life

    But the most simple awnser is usualy right and that means there is nothing after death besides what you leave behind (children).

    Do I fear death?

    No as long as its quick, but thats only because I don't really have anything to live for at this moment.
