y'all are faggots. i just watched this and it was amazing from start to finish. if you're going to qq over "plot holes" but not over some of the ludicrous shit like perfectly blown bridges, time of day changing over the space of 10 seconds (escape from wall street anyone?), etc etc... then you didn't quite suspend your belief hard enough.
i give it 10 alfreds out of 10.

>accurate collision
>good collision

maybe some better collision would fix that

only the dead can know peace from this incompetence -

TWD will take you 4 - 5 hours. FC3 you will sink at the very least 15 hours. so get this and get it out of the way, it really is worth playing and i have no idea why i waited so long.

looks great
shadows feel a bit harsh and suck the colour out of the scene though -

Even on consoles, if that's the only wall in your scene, you're fine.
That's what's amazing about the next generation.
A lot of people think its a downfall because you have to add more detail.
The reality is, you don't have to spend as much time pulling teeth trying to get every frame *amazing*.
Unless you work for some current gen game factory for XXX publisher, you don't need to worry about shit like that anymore (to a point, that doesn't mean go bananas).
Game development is about to get a lot easier. Fuck r_speeds.
i think you are right.. but i also know you're wrong haha
waste is always waste. when you know how to build efficiently then the whole issue of "cleaning up afterwards" isn't a problem. personally i think its better to know the perfect way to do something so that you know how and when to cut corners and what impact that is going to have.and with nextgen, it's not like its going to be a magic bullet, purely from speculation theres no way they'll be more powerful than a high-end pc and when you look at pc-only games like stalker (and witcher etc) then its easy to see that performance is still going to be an issue unless you know what you're doing to begin with.
this is all academic anyway, because i don't think that neil has those loops there for any reason other than a simple mistake - just one look at the tower can tell you that, it's not for vertex painting or occ baking.

Quote from Squad
A T that leaves his spawn a couple of seconds too late and wants to go left has a good chance of getting sniped while crossing the long street (see picture) ... I could never cross that street without shit in my pants if I lost a few seconds in my spawn area. Just putting some cover where I draw the green box could solve this (a car/truck or something).

just to touch on this: it is as designed, i'll definitely change it if it proves to be a serious problem - but think of it as punishment for being too slow to buy - and also a way to see what the T's are doing if they don't smoke it when rotating/faking. one thing i have to fix is that you can see into t spawn - similar to dust2, but i didn't intend for that so it'll be fixed. everything else is as intended. just need to see if it actually works

just finished it. all these feels... so many feels...
i dont really care that your choices don't have monumental effects on the end result, they do their job of making you feel involved in whats going and thats more than can be said about 99% of what else is out there.
as usual telltale games manage to produce a game riddled with bugs and awkwardness but it can be forgiven because the experience is just that strong.
i don't think anybody here should call themselves a fan of video games without playing this. get it right now. i mean right now, everything else can wait.

i understand where you are coming from but... i don't think those are the reasons neil is using that many polys. polys are less important but they are still important, especially on consoles

-
thats cool but that better not be the collision mesh holy shit are those japs on crack?

been out of action for a week now so nothing new ;-;

YOUR TEXTURING IS GETTING BETTER BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY LOOPS AND CUTS IN YOUR GEOMETRY, ARE YOU RETARDED OR SOMETHING SRS QUESTION?
/caps lock and couldn't be bothered to turn it off and re-write it even tho explaining it has probably been more characters than just fixing the mistake
-
yeah i agree, i bet there were some heated discussions about that
-
i can't contain all these feels man

Phew lots of feedback there. More so than anywhere else. Three people have pointed out the railings so it looks like I'll have to revise them. Such a pain since it means sorting through this mess:
I'll take all your suggestions and put them in my bag. Lighting is such a pain in Source and it took me so long to get it to an acceptable level. I really need to discuss things with my partner before I start changing stuff and as for a top down pic, let me see if I can whip one up right now. Sorry it's not 100% clear but I don't have a vector version on me. Suffice to say it's a simple map and was originally blocked out by Smokerscough before I came along and arted it up for him. The railings are models but it's clear they're more brush like in appearance. I can see where it's coming from. I want to release a B1 and see how it's received and if I get time I will try replacing the railings. The thing is I'm in dire need of a job and this is meant to be my last project otherwise that's it, game over. Sad but true, I've been trying to get work in the industry for years and get nothing so I put my all into this.

@killertomato: That's actually Source's shadow LOD in the works. If you go real close it becomes sharper. What's really odd is that in my cordon compiles the window frames would cast shadows on to it but a full compile removes it. It's a pain of Source I believe and I'm losing my patience with it considering compiling on full takes 19 hours. (calculates VRAD twice)
Overall thanks for the positive & constructive comments. I look forward to releasing it and moving on

19 hours is ridiculous - have you checked what is taking a lot of time? i can't imagine vrad would take that long - you can't optimise something to fix that?

Yo, I know this is three-dee, but at least It's level design. If you click the image, the whole level will show. But it's too large to post directly.
