  • Hypothetical-Contest Rules Voting

    Quote from Radu

    1 hour ago, Radu said: Well, that could be a thing. Let's say you have the first month of the contest just for the blocking and testing. At the end of said month the judges pick top 20 or something. Then the second phase starts and everyone that made it in the top has 4 or 5 months to art it up, alone or collaborating. How does that sound? @FMPONE what do you think of this?

    Not a fan. Sorry.

    Look, the last contest went pretty well. Let’s see if we can increase the prize pool, make adjustments to certain rules if you guys want, and add any judges you guys want that are into the idea. Not looking to complicate things, or add any wrinkles that we don’t absolutely need.

    Last time around jd40 did everything by himself and won. Let’s not forget about that.

    However, not against it as a separate contest idea at some other time.

    Pretty meh trailer but this looks like it’s worth a shot most definitely

  • Hypothetical-Contest Rules Voting

    TBH I don't foresee major changes to the judging panel from the last tournament. We may examine who actually put in substantial effort, tho.

    More than happy to take suggestions on individual judges if people feel there are individuals getting left out where it doesn't make much sense.

    Well yes, I highly doubt anyone woke up in the morning with a burning passion to work on a Diablo mobile game, considering the controls of a mobile game and those of an action-packed isometric RPG are kind of mutually exclusive, and Diablo has always been about atmosphere and mood, whereas phone games simply don’t provide that.

    So what they were doing is taking the Diablo IP and milking it, and they got burned for it.

    I see this as a test moment for Blizzard, are they so big and corporate that they’re actually incapable of avoiding cash grabs and poor decisions? They have to realize that stuff like this dilutes the remaining value of their IPs. Whatever lead them to this, it wasn’t the pride of years past. The more they “succeed” at milking their customers, the harder it will be to realize this might not be the best course forward, and the more temptation to repeat the mistake at an even larger scale next time.

  • New/Old Diablo Game.

    Seems like a pretty calculated business decision (it's going to make a shitload of money), but they stepped in it by alienating their hardcore fans with the promo beforehand. As usual, if you want to be greedy, it pays to be smart.

  • Custom prop doesnt show in game

    Quote from Dr.ParadoX

    A pipe isn’t a concave shape, it’s a convex shape. You would do a single cylinder. If it has bends in it you would do each bend as one fully-enclosed polygon piece, but one mesh. Imagine how you would make a bend with legos, each polygon has to be one solid LEGO piece, not a polygon with missing faces where the pieces attach to each other.

  • Custom prop doesnt show in game

    Iirc this is related to your physics mesh. A couple of points on physics meshes: they can’t be comprised of concave pieces. If you want to do complicated shapes (other than boxes) you have to use multiple boxes to do so. Also, make sure that all your physics mesh vertices are welded and there are no thin planes part of your physics mesh. This is likely your issue, an over complicated physics mesh with thin plane slices shoots out that error about 2-dimensional geometry.

  • What are you playing now?

    Almost at 90% completion on Hollow Knight!

    Just completed Return of the Obra Dinn! Fantastic, check it out. Moving onto RIME next, art style looks great so I'm pretty interested to check it out.

    So many high quality indie games, what a great period for gaming...

    Stalker (1979) based loosely on the 1972 sci-fi book Roadside Picnic (The game Stalker borrows elements from both the movie and the book)

    Just re-watched this as well ^^ Really enjoyed it.

    Also just saw the new Halloween, and for fun watched the 1978 movie for the first time. I really enjoyed both, probably even preferred the new one frankly.

    you really believe that? #Fake News #never happened

    In all seriousness, I'm interested in seeing this one. But not overly so...

    Hey Shawn have you looked up explainers about the ending? I was so shocked I read a few, but basically what seems happened was that they had 5 seasons planned, if I remember correctly, but they had to hurry it up, so came up with that confusing solution.

    I thought from the ending it was pretty obvious they were getting shit-canned and rushed to throw something together, no matter how ridiculous. It seemed clear they had NO clue what the fuck they wanted to do, but really the whole third season felt like that. Maybe the best writers moved on...

    Spoiler but more importantly, I think they made a HUGE miscalculation by killing off Ben Mendelbro in the first season. It would be like if Breaking Bad killed off Walter White in the first season... insanely dumb idea.

    Quote from Squad

    On 9/20/2018 at 8:53 AM, Squad said: I watched the first season a few years ago and really enjoyed it. As you said, the characters are really well thought-out and the acting overall is great too. Started to watch the 2nd season afterwards, but for some reason didn't finish it, not sure why, cause it's not like it wasn't delivering from what I remember. This is a good reminder to give the 2nd season another spin ;)

    Hm. Well I just finished the series. Season 1 was the high point, Season 2 was... ok. Season 3 was a disaster. I guess ending shows is pretty difficult *shrug*

    Still, in hindsight it was worth watching for Season 1 !
