  • ULTIMATE CHALLENGE: Design the MapCore logo — new deadline!

    We have a winner

    It looks fabulous on a dark background, a tad bit less on white, don't know why though.

    We can still relate to the box but it's still nice and fresh and more modern Really like it!

    I felt super uneasy being between all these experienced people. Everything was overwhelming. But my lead was nice though, said I shouldn't feel any pressure to deliver and just take it easy at first. But that didn't make things easier, I still wanted to deliver a lot He showed me flaws in my designs, and I corrected them or we had some interesting discussions, my first days were very nice actually. But not easy, wouldn't say that either.

    Don't know what it would be like for art though, I can imagine there's a lot of technical stuff that you easily overlook.

    Had sort of the same idea as Rick, but then instead of the classical sphere with core, do a cube with a core thingy. Started of with the 3D image and quickly went over it with photoshop.

    I guess you guys can make something better out of it if you like it. And offcourse that psychedelic multicolored stuff on top of it. Don't reinvent the wheel I'd say

    It's completely messed up, but I like the statements of some of the survivors from the island massacre, that actions by cowards like this shouldn't dictate how our society will be in the future. Seemingly someone from my fathers side of the family got killed in the explosion, I haven't heard from all my friends in Oslo yet, but it's a relatively small city, so I'm sure this affects many people throughout Norway

    A lot of people have been impacted by this. Horrible :/

  • The random model thread!

    • July 24, 2011 at 9:53 PM

    Haven't modeled in ages and then I came across this artwork and I got the urge to model, so I did

    I'm still in the blockout phase, will make a high poly and a bake. Perhaps some textures but I'm not sure about that yet (time... :/)

    Sort of clever plot. But they way it was unfolded/filmed isn't quite as good. :/ And I hated the main character, horrid acting at times... Never had this before with any other film 8| (I'm not even talking about Lucy Liu for obvious reasons).

    So yeah, love hate relationship. Definitely could've been something better, what a shame.

    Was thinking of the same thing, only with the box to have more consistency with the old one.

    Daaaaamn youuuu!

    I'm trying to play L4D2 with a friend, but it's impossible. People either leave the lobby because it's not 7/8 or they ragequit 1-2min after having started.

    Reminds me that I still haven't played with HP. Vacation and now staying late at the office :/

    Hmm, one of these days...

    And yup, from what I remember there's a lot of leavers... Matchmaking isn't really that fair so that contributes to the ragequits I suppose.

    This is illegal, the only way this could be done is with emulators, which are illegal. Microsoft will be forced to shut down by the government for this.

    That comment cracked me up, hahahahaha WTF stupid.

    Source Code, since so much people here have said it was good. And it was Didn't know anything about it and it happened to be the exact kind of film (and genre) I like. I love these kind of surprises!

  • Easiest map editor for a newbie

    • Chimeray
    • July 11, 2011 at 9:26 AM

    I'm not sure how new to are to the concept but you might wanna check out some map editors that come with some (now old) games. Like Far Cry on the xbox or whatever you can find. Those are way less technical and focus on placement of meshes, terrain and enemies and the like. No complicated buttons you'll never use, no lighting bakes, collision and whatever to take care off... Definitely a good first experience I'd say.

    If you wanna make your own stuff however or mod, CE3 is definitely a good first attempt since it has a lot of assets, gets you familiar with scripting as well. And in the end you'll have a single player level that plays like Crysis-ish.

    UDK would be a good choice but you'll have to stick with the default multiplayer stuff which might not be what you're looking for. Obviously you can code the game to be whatever you want it to be but I'm guessing you don't have a team behind you who can mod it until it's Fairy Paradise 5, so just saying UDK has a lot of support though, tutorials and info everywhere!

    Source, never used it, can't tell.

    Try both I'd say and then stick with one until you actually make something. Jumping between editors without finishing stuff will get you demotivated (plus simultaneous use might just confuse you).

    Cheers!

    EA Europe VP Patrick Söderlund has said DICE doesn’t currently have plans to add modding tools to Battlefield 3, as it thinks the Frostbite 3 engine will make modding “too big a of a challenge” for people.

    I don't like the aesthetics of the game Wish it was more fantasy-ish, or perhaps I'm missing the point. Haven't seen anything breathtaking, but it looks good from a technical/realistic, whatever point of view though, that's not my point.

    ":28hcimqg]I'm as late for this party as it gets, but i'm playing L4D2!

    !! Bought that in February, played it a couple of times and now it's pretty much dead again.

    Add me on steam if you wanna play! Chimeray

    Playing TF2 again now that some friends got it since it's free.

    Also installed Eve online, gonna do the 14 day trial again, see if I like the improvements. Never really gotten into it, perhaps now.

  • What game would you make and why?

    • Chimeray
    • June 19, 2011 at 3:26 PM

    An adventure game with the 4 elements theme (water-wind-earth-fire), puzzles, etc. Perhaps some RPG elements to make the character you want to be.

    Prince of persia, tomb raider, something something gameplay combined with the above.
