I've been trying to sort out the way source handles alpha transparencies for a few days here, alpha test displays an ugly pixelated mess from a distance, while translucent looks nice but it totally ruins the model and renders behind the window frame, idk what to do i feel like I've tried it all.

Does it _actually_ need to be transparent? Seems a light but opaque material would work just as well. Not "realistic" perhaps, but still pleasing to the eye.

Congrats to our Asian comrades over at Fapcore, for their work on this totally original game

Incorrect

An interesting article on EVE betrayal.

Great! Because I refuse to play Overwatch on low settings... ?

Agreed. Geybox is meant to be sloppy. It's for testing ideas and concepts.

Definitely better! I also notice that your building's plaster is overly clean.

The foliage seems a bit under-contrast, needs darker shadows and more definition IMO.

We're definitely going to do something like this after this CS:GO contest. No doubt about it.

No public release (or any kind of release), still a lot of work to do (a lot of the art has been thrown away).

I guess it just depends on how similar it is to Opera and if Opera was ever released with art.

Quote from text_fish

4 minutes ago, text_fish said: It shouldn't need to be pointed out, but it's also worth noting that the rules don't exclude anybody from entering (aside from staffers, obviously), so anyone who wants to take part in a fun competition can still do so, they'll just need to start a new project if they don't already have one in an early enough stage of development to qualify.

This is a good way of phrasing it. Everybody who got cut off could literally just team up together and still win it.

Quote from grapen

12 minutes ago, grapen said: Yep, my biggest concern here is that the rules promote a secretive environment, where hiding your stuff from the community is beneficial to you, which in itself is very counter productive for a community.

This is obviously a concern.

The alternative that we pursued before was that we allowed any non-Operation maps to enter. Predictably, maps that had been around for a while were the ones that ended up winning. Now, I'm not against that necessarily, but we did get a lot of push-back. So consider this rules format an experiment to try in the other direction. The fact that some maps will be ineligible because they released publicly is a downside, but the fact that the playing field is more even/fair is the upside.

With such a large prize pool, we want things to be explicitly and obviously fair, that seems like the right approach.

Correct.

You're not very far along. You can participate if you want.

It's simple guys, if it's further along than a simple greybox, it's probably not eligible.
