so i'm basically mostly posting this thread because it helps keeps me organized and helps me keep track of my progress because it's impossible to search through the the chat threads for my shit
you guys are more than welcome to comment on my shit and tell me what to improve or change or add or remove. it really helps to have people say what looks like shit as i make it

today's progress:
-expanded/reworked this area and actually put some life in it
-created a malfunctioning door that the the player needs to crawl through
-tweaked my camera system after rewriting it yesterday
-added a button that can be shot to trigger events (not displayed here)
-created an invisible block and system to trigger dialogues when the the player approaches something and ensures it only happens once
displayed in this gif is ceyda entering a biological lab. there are some cyclops birdies flying. and flies that suck the the blood from your head when they manage to hover above you. also a patrol robot that can't harm you. also there's a camera that she shoots down that can alert nearby enemies of your presence
the camera going up the elevator needs to be way smoother. the crawl animation looks strange the way it hovers at the start. maybe you should avoid having her crawl through things that aren't flush with some sort of level ground
can you shoot upwards

is the problem that her feet kind of hang over nothing
does this look better: (http://i.imgur.com/91kLAQR.gif)
i changed nothing here, it's just that in the first gif the collision box is a bit bigger than the broken door
Quote from: Nyerp on February 24, 2014, 12:07:57 AM
can you shoot upwards
should she be able to
yeah that does look better. the situation with the door just looks odd because of how it's set up. i'd have the hole in the door right against the floor if i were you
Do you have any sound set up yet? I kinda feel like when the shots make contact with the enemy there isn't really much going on with the visuals, it doesn't feel as impactful, though I guess sound can help change that.

yeah i know what the issue is
i just had to adjust it a bit and now she pulls up with her kneecaps solidly on the ground in all situations, so it looks even better than that last gif

due to the low frame rate of the gif you can't see it but enemies actually flash white when shot and damaged
and i don't have any sound enabled at the moment

so these assholes got over half a million 2 years ago and this is what they have to show
note: this is probably all built using unity's built in landscaping features
i feel pretty good because i've built up a neat little universe in just my spare time

reminds me of a typical mmorpg tbh. or is it actually one?
lol @ the the comments... my self-esteem would be truly damaged if i tried my best but wasn't enough for the the world...but then again, they did have $500k. i mean wtf
checked two of their other logs, and i guess they were kinda decent but not so much imo.

I used unity for half a year, you're right about landscaping features, and all those trees are stock trees.
also oh god they're actually selling this at $30
and people are still buying it
i will never make shitty games so i guess i'll never get rich either :(
yeah, shit like this really makes a bad case for kickstarter and other donation platforms :/
anyone careless enough with their money to blindly fund an unproven kicksharter project despite the countless examples of abuses and disappointments has no one but themselves to blame for enabling continued scams
yogventures backers got exactly what they deserved, hopefully they learned a valuable lesson ifeelbetter;
Premade models?
Ew.
Also I'm in love with your backgrounds. giggle;
Super Metroid engine, nice. I love how that game runs and feels.

I'd get rid of the the yellow "fists" and add a bunch more vines, some slightly obscuring the the face of the the enemy. Maybe make one more dominant than the the others.
vines are so hard to animate and that's why i only made 2 :(
i was thinking the flowerbuds at the ends of the vines would open up and maybe release poison or something but

maybe more vines would be good
well technically it's only one vine
just duplicated

That's a pretty good idea, but the "boxing" animations would have to be reworked.

do you think you could even imagine a 4x game that could be simplified to the point it can be played in minutes without being
oversimplified

It is hard to imagine one that could be played so quickly... If you're shooting for under an hour I could perhaps see that but otherwise it would be very difficult to cram in time to allow for exploration followed by resource management and creation from those resources. It would have to be simple otherwise it would not work. You might have to combine or automate some elements if you're looking to make something quick to play. Like resources found automatically create a unit or something and maybe something like combining the exploration and expansion of territory phases.
Idea: full 4x experience, minus the resource gathering
Is such a thing even possible?

Sort of sounds like Risk with exploration thrown in
Which could be fun if the map was randomized because you wouldnt necessarily know which territories are chokepoints. Could even do it on a square/hex basis like owning a certain number of hexes grants you x bonuses on next turn or the squares/hexes represent something like plains/river/ore/livestock which grant specific bonuses to your empire next turn
On a small enough scale it could be played somewhat quickly

wow they ripped off me
really though this is basically a combination of the yellow devil and the angel in evangelion that oozed acid from its eye
It is different, I am just the great equalizer because I am weak for seeing all things the same.
when can I play this
it be be A Long Time From Now
it's still a bunch of disjointed areas. i'm working towards finishing up one major sector so that the first mission or two is playable. maybe in like 2 months ? ? ?
it's about time that video games had a female protagonist
added a head scratching idle animation
