Yes. What an age we live in!

there is justice in the world

Just finished this! I did enjoy it, but I'm getting old and cynical and over-the-top setpieces don't impress me as much anymore. Great art tho!!!! Damn!

Disliked a lot of the combat areas which I felt very overly vertical with too much looping around. The pirate storyline didn't really get a good resolution, felt a bit half-baked.

And again, dat art tho!!! DAMN!

Wasn't the missed arrows just a bunch of teasing by Ramsay? He wanted to give false hope? Running in a straight line is very understandable also if you are panicked.

Looks fun! Every now and then I want a semi-arcade:y driving game.

Spoiler It was a dramatic episode, not the biggest fan though just because Jon's charge felt so duuuuuuuuumb.

I know I should be able to understand character's motivations and situations etc and that we have an unfair vantage point as all-seeing observers but jesus christ how Jon Snow was baited into a fucking trap. You have to realize that Rickon was a bargaining chip to make you SURRENDER. What are the incentives to keep Rickon alive if a battle is going to happen anyway? And surely, knowing the world, Jon must've imagined that Rickon would be publicly executed or hell, even brought forth in a flayed state to mess with his/their heads.

I must say I am really enjoying this game. At first I had a real hard time getting into it, but it's incredibly addictive. :o It's fun learning different character's combat loops and if you are bored with one you can just switch it up and do something else.

I'm still not sure if I'll play hundreds and hundreds of hours but for now I am really, really enjoying myself!

Btw guys this is the Doom thread!

Graphics can be beautiful and readable, like Overwatch (mostly). Games also need to appeal to casuals and a certain graphical standard is needed (like CS:GO).

Cool art style and physics! Seems to have the right level of arcadiness! I'm curious!

Yeah, I feel like the near-future gadget advanced weapon clusterfuck is getting a bit tired. It's nice to go back to some old school stuff for sure!

But more importantly, new content for snap map is coming, including hell scenario.

True single player levels :o

Nice environments and zombie horde mechanics, but the weapon "feel" seemed a bit bland and we didn't really see anything compelling storywise. Cautiously optimistic with this one! We all know E3-demos can be total vaporware.

It was okay, but nowhere near this:

Watched the trailer and two matches from the stream. The game looks really good. I feel like the old school weapons and vehicles will make the gameplay more diverse, "meaty" and will slow down the pace somewhat (which I like). Modern Assault Rifles with short "time-to-kill"s have reigned supreme for far too long!

Art is amazing and I was hella-impressed by the weather!

This is so fucking amazeballs, I want to play a game set in this!!!

"Rise of the planet of the winstons"

Was rummaging through old backups when I found a video of my abandoned payload-map - blastoff... which features an AMAZING intro animation! The level was actually a school project (in Sweden you get to do a project of your choosing in High School). The video was made to showcase the project and has no audio. Target audience is the average student.

This is an old version and I polished it more before I gave up like the easily-defeated wimp I was back then (around 2008)!

This is what the graph looks like:

Looks complicated, right? But it actualy isn't because you start very simple and add layer upon layer of detail, not too different from what you would do in zbrush and photoshop.

In this case i started with a simple square shape down in the left corner, tweaked the side dimensions, added some beveling and then fed it into a tile generator with some randomized values for depth and position of each plank. In the next step i added some edge trimming like one would do in zbrush. Then i used some shapes and filters to create wood patterns, mixed, blended, copy pasted, tweaked etc. to make it look more convincing and natural. Then i added some smaller details like dirt and little holes.

After that i create some masks from some of the layers, details, aswell as cavity and curvature nodes. Those are used to feed into gradients and mixed and blended like in Photoshop to get a color texture. Last step then to create a roughness map. Again very similar to what oine would do in Photoshop.

Sounds awesome! I'm one of those filthy designers who don't stay on top of these things....

Thanks for the breakdown!
