curse you JetSetLemming, I'm addicted to TF2 now

Thats what RSS feeds are for

yeah basically it's an RSS alternative, it seems more sites use twitter than RSS though :x

Main use for twitter for me:

I follow all the websites I tend to visit, who post their news on there. That way I spend about 5x less time browsing sites when they are all congregated to twitter.

Ah cool, oh and I forgot to write, instead of 48 hours, why not a full week, heh. Anyway, yeah I could see it help train in quick prototyping for sure, never thought of it that way. I guess it also gives people reasons to actually do something. That said, is why I asked, hehe

Heh, a week would be great, but I can see myself choosing a project too large in scope at that point then not realzing it until around the 6th day in. There was recently a 9 day RPG challenge, I was thinking about entering it but ended up getting a temp job in construction.

Anyways, here's a timelapse I did of the game's development. Kind of cool to watch, the second half is better because there's more art though.

finished my entry!

I don't know why others enter but for me it's a great exercise in rapid prototyping. Most of my coding projects these days are month-long affairs that can get pretty tedious and will most likely involve a lot of refactoring. It's a nice change of pace to quickly make something and get to dabble in a lot of different tasks like art, coding and sound. If I get frustrated in one area, I can work on the other. I guess the main point is it's fun

On that note, if you take a look at the winner of last years competition, it's actually a pretty fun game. A easy to get into action RTS. The games are not necessarily all crap. Granted a large portion probably are...

Also there's no reason you can't refine it after if you feel inclined to do so.

I entered Ludum Dare 18. You get 48 hours to make a game, art, sound, code, etc... The theme is "enemies as weapons".

I REALLY need some sleep...

yeah uncharted 2 is freickin nuts

started playing dragons quest 9, I would call it a charming game for lack of a better word

SpicyTanuki, what game is that?Aalexanderrr, are you using max to bake the normal maps & ambient occlusion?

ok TF2 is pretty fun. A LOT has changed since I last played it, I dont remember there being an equip screen.

not really sure why, but TF2 never stuck on me. I thought it might have to do with me overdosing on quakeworld TF. I dont like how slow the players are compared to quakeworld TF though.

I think I'll give it a try right now

I may have to give TF2 another shot...

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but are megatextures really nothing more than a image pyramid?

quickie overnight map I did for a break. Uses the same assets as the previous map I posted shots of.

EDIT: Updated shots on aug15th.
