we're living in the future. We can design a trophy for the tournament and upload it to be printed and shipped to the winner.

I'll try to register again in the quake live service, and try to compete with a 150 ms lag

Damn, a printed trophy would be amaze-balls!

Wohoo! We are talking about having the FFA-Qualifiers this coming Sunday. Are you available by then? If so, what hours? And what timezone?

Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

I'm available between 18:00 and 01:00 GMT+1 this Sunday.

Alrighty! I listed everyone and their available times in the original post. I'll send everyone a P.M to ask for times.

Quote from SotaPoika

Could maybe add after the name that account-name/player-id so we can find and add people easier.

Mine is same as here, SotaPoika.

Good idea! I will add all in-game names to the original post.

I know I put some dates in the original dates but those are just preliminary.

What do you guys think of this coming Sunday? The 14th that is:

I'm available at all hours except between 01.00-08.00 GMT +0, almost any day of the week. I'm guessing we want to do this on a weekend though.

So I was applying for this allowance Swedish gov can give you for starting your own company and so two weeks ago I got to know I were to have a meeting last week. I attended to the meeting thinking it would be a discussion meeting where I can seek for advice on how to sort out my draft of the business plan, just like my colleague had. About 15 mins into the meeting I realised that was the meeting they were to decide whether I would get the allowance or not.

That said, I came there unprepared and there was quite a few questions I couldn't tackle and they simply denied my application and now I have to do the whole thing over again, setting me back additionally three weeks and hope they will do a reevaluation.

My friends are crazy, fighting about top 15 Europe, I feel like an outsider playing with them D:
They just steam-roll everything up to keystone rank 30+

Installed this game to have some FUN with you guys, so you better count me in!

I guess QL isn't on Steam yet?

No not yet I think, it's coming up soon I think!

Glad your'e joining in!

Quote from knj

Yeah, but at this moment till the end of the month my only internet is the mobile one, if we could play on october I'm in

I wouldn't mind waiting, gives more time to train, haha!

What do you think guys? Will we wait for knj?

Quote from (HP)

The only prob here is the ping.

Playing against people in EU, I'll be lucky to ping 150

I guess we have to pick servers that are shitty for everyone then! haha!

Quote from knj

I would love to but I'hvnt played since like fucking 10years

anyways if playing for me only 1v1 on cpma mode !

Oh come on knj, its just for fun! Join in!

Quote from e-freak

Haha, looks like a pretty solid prototype! Didn't have anyone to play it with but I did open it!

Quote from AlexM

I haven't heard the term theorycraft before. Interesting I'll see if I can find anything.

Also realistically I don't really write stuff down that much. Usually only when it's some sort of big state machine is when I have to really plan something out on paper.

I'm not sure if that is a coined word but its been used quite a lot on forums when it comes to breaking down game mechanics.

Yeah, I guess its not always handy to write stuff down. I just happen to lover pen and paper designs

Three months exactly!

All seasons characters will become softcore along with the items and the EXP you've earned.

Gratz on the Kridershot!

Did you find those Unity rings yet?

I totally, a lot of things are just more user-friendly. Especially finding servers you'd like to play on.

Quote from Pampers

Not a super big update this time, but it was a bitch to get working and networked properly.

Mapcore Allstars! GO!

I never really wanted to play a soccer video game, but this looks hilarious. Just give a shout if you want people for a network test, we can use Hamachi or something!

Quote from AlexM

great to see this thread up. Now I can retire my jams thread. I much prefer this way of handling it

Currently working on a fighting game engine from scratch. I have this week off from work where I plan to put a couple hours in each day. I'll post some pics when I have something going.

Currently I just finished the basic rendering code and gui implementation for debug stuff. Also finished up the first phase of the virtual input system (mapping input devices to a virtual controller). That has taken the longest so far.

Right now I'm starting up on the state logic and it's been a little tough. I've spent about 5-6 hours on paper and have kind of been avoiding programming it because I'm a little fearful of implementing it. I think it's gonna be a series of failures before I get something decent working. I'm trying to focus on studying the intricacies of Street Fighter to try and get some theoretical knowledge of what to do.

Yeah I like it too! Don't retire it entirely though, you should like add the games there in a list. Or maybe I can do that here? Just make a list of Games of Mapcore, the name of the game and the creator?

Damn, that's a pretty big undertaking, looking forward to see some screens coming up! Good on you doing all that paperwork, I think it could save (programmer) lives if people just sat down and did that before starting. Maybe programmers do that all the time, they don't tell me, I just assume they don't. Seems like you're going to go really deep on the gameplay mechanics too, I'm quite sure someone wrote a theorycraft breakdown on Street Fighter if you do some googling, so you don't need to break it down all yourself. Unless you want too that is.

Spellsworn Steam Concept Update #3

Not a whole lot visual things are happening right now. We did change the magma and some other minor tweaks but there's still a lot of foundation work going on. I've managed to enroll a SFX composer and a Music composer for the project too, next video will hopefully contain proper implemented spell sounds, music and round-based gameplay.

Well, sure I have no probs with no weapon farming. The original settings include them though, but that doesn't matter!

I changed the competition so that there is no Pool Stage.

We will simply play it off in FFA and then have some duels going on with Single-Elimination (Best of three, if you lose a match, you're out.)

Are we good now?

Also, camping in Quake is just stupid!

So I've been thinking a bit.

Let's say we remove the whole Pool stage and have an FFA-qualifer where the top 6-8 players will meet eachother in Elimination or Double-Elimination duels?

Nice to see so many people interested!

Yeah they deleted my account too, but in one way that's good. Now I can't compare myself to my former quake-self to see how sucky I am today.

Yeah, that's probably for the best. Start small!

Haha, yeah I thought it would be a little too complicated. We could totally change it to whatever game mode, I just want a competition going matter what!

I guess if we want just to do a quick and simple tournament I think we should do it your way!

Soo, is this too complicated? ;D

After weeks of discussion it's time to actually start playing, haha! Though not as in a tournament just as in playing together for fun.

The competition is divided in two stages, FFA-Qualifier e and Single-Elimination stage.

FFA-Qualifier Stage
In this stage all contestants will be playing tree FFA-matches where points are amassed depending on what placing you get. The top eight players of the qualifier will go to the next stage.

• 1st place gives 5 points.
• 2st place gives 3 points.
• 3rd place gives 2 points
• 4th-8th place gives 1 points.

In case there are few contestents this stage may be dispensible as everyone will tie in for the Elimination but this will be played nonetheless, for fun and to get into the competitive mood!

Single-Elimination Stage
After the prior stage the semi-finals and finals will be played out in Duels, where the top 1st player will meet the 8th, 2nd the 7th and so on.
Three maps will be played where the player with most points picks the first map, randomize if even.

• If you lose a match, you're out.
• Finals are played off in best off five.

How is a match played?
Each match will be a best of three maps in the game mode Duel where one map takes 10 mins to play. A contestant will create a game and invite the other via their Friends list.

Game Setup

• Players take rounds in picking map. If you are even in points, randomize who will pick first.
• All weapons are on except BFG, in other words - no item farming.

How do you report results in the Single-Elimination?
Each player MUST post here or in a PM to me with the match results, or at least both players need to make a post that verifies the results . In example:

Sjonsson vs SpronyJohnson, September 5th.

Map #1: SpronyJohnson won.

Map #2: Draw.
Map #3: Sjonsson won.

That said, do not post the amount of points you got. This will be done for you.

I'm on it! Thread coming up soon!

Edit:

Here we go!

I hope it's not too complicated for you guys!

Who would be in for a small, for-fun, tournament? Just a week of sign-up and then I'll create a brackets of it and we'll play it off 1v1 to crown the Quake champion of mapcore?
