Post any screenshot,picture of anything that you are working on with A8 , it can be anything like a model, a 2D level design, a texture, a game etc ...

(It's a standard thread in lot of 3D artist and some 3D engine forums, i just wanted 3DGS to have one, it can be interesting)

The screenshot is made on a Mac running OS X 10.IMNOTALLOWEDTOTALKABOUTIT, but it compiles with Gstudio as well (beside of the stuff in the LFUnsupported folder). Just in case screenshots of code are allowed too =/

Screenshot of a fun game im working on not good just for practising

@JustSid: yes code screenshot allowed too, or tools screenshot also
It can be 3D Work, 2D work, code, 3D game WIP , music, anything realated to a 3D project with A8 !


@Progger : i really like the game test you are making, reminds me some really cool arcade games that was made some ages ago !

Today I was working on the halogen lights of my space station level
(project Pax et Bellum - 'Fotorealistisches Mittelalter'):

Alien WIP : really basic shapes !
For an 2.5D platformer with A8.

My road tool project RoadTool GS.
Test version coming soon.

Working on something like a precompiler, which precomputes c++ like classes to be usable in LiteC

DX10 Effects Development Framework, switching to DX11 later.
Ah ok A8, well then: nothing.

What are you working on is mainly for screenshots

Without screenshots, we could have lot of people only posting :
"I'm working on this project" !

-------------------------

Yes only post screenshots please, this is a WIP thread not a Annoucement thread !

(Perhaps someone can launch an Annoucement thread if people are interested ? )

Still coming along.

EDIT: Now with new and improved car shader:

last visual thing i did for scion that i'm willing to show:

are A7 pics allowed aswell?
if yes, this is what I do at the moment:

TimeDigger Adventure Game

Made with CubeX Framework

Working on my contribution for AUM 100: level parts & skull-warrior models...

Working on more things today (multitasking)

Project : DR





Project : BB




Project : KB





Also rendering a new company intro movie

busy as hell today

Just took the shot yesterday...
Been working on the lighting...

Something a bit different from my usual work...


It's a model of the "Consciousness Grid"
(Done in 3dsMax for a new type of game.)


You know... The grid that envelopes our planet...


The geometry is very compicated but at the same time, very simple...
Eeach sphere crosses its adjacent spheres and creates the "Flower of Life" pattern in 3d...


In its geometry, is many, or as some say... all patterns...


This is one completed prototype...

This is another...

Amazing what people are working on

@chris_oat :
Yes any 3DGS Version you use, you can post, it could be A6,A7 or another version !

- Just finished the official GameStudio Trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3uw0e5y4nE

- Working on an Alan Wake like movement script for chris_oat

- Working on my project "Adrenaline". Improved the HUD.

Very well done, Rondidon!!! Is this an official video for JCL or have you done it just for our pleasure?

Thanks . It`s officially done for JCL, but of course it`s also for our pleasure . Was a lot of work though.

"The Descent", fly-a-firefly-through-cave-and-have-a-device-attached-to-your-heart-to-measure-heartrate-and-do-biofeedback-in-game -- prototype

high heart coherence -> green aura, much sight


low heart coherence -> orange to red aura, low sight

@Rondidon :
Just one thing : put ShowREAL instead of ShowREEL
Great video, i saw in the video some 3D character manipulation in
WED, perhaps yu could have used another lot more detailled character model than a basic one ?
Anyway great.

No. Look up "reel".

Jibb

Some ingame music i made today.

Something for the ears : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOUjYhjlWno

Nice Work RealSpawn. LittleQuestion: Which software did you use to create those effects for the video?

The particles are clips i found on Youtube. I used them
and edit them al in correl videostudio pro X4

so the particle video snippets are not mine
but it fits the music

Nice work Mr. Schwarz...
Your work looks very relistic...

Why is that strange?

Jibb

@Michael: you should really add some envmapping to your windows, would look much better I guess.

because it looks strange there too. rippled glass in a clean roomlike that doesnt really match. I ithink it would look cool with a much less dense set of ripples. (I still like them, i just think they need a very small frequency, like 3 or 4 ripples across) I've always thought that about the windows in portico tho. never mentioned it before this.

Next Demo release is due in the next few days... working hard on getting it all set up.

It's there for a cause. People looking from outside should not be able to clearly see the inside of the room.

of course no game.. but: realtime editing of variables and structure members



getting to ==>

i am working on a kind of space staion-builder. you have to build up a space-staion and earn resources from asteroids and so on...

Mr. Schwarz...
I have never seen horizontal ripples, only vertical, and I only noticed them in one shot.
That's why it seems a bit odd...
As I said, very nice work..

Portal has the same window
http://ahkong.net/images/portal/3d/level-00/portal-3d-002.jpg

@TerraSame: Please take a look at portal^^

Actually, it's not a bathroom. Have you really never heard of Valve's "Portal"? Michael Schwarz's game is heavily inspired by Portal -- perhaps even a parody (I'm not sure on the details), and that's why he has the rippled glass in his game.

Jibb

You'd definitely get lots of good advice in the Morbius forum if you ask

Jibb

TerraSame, I can understand if you've never played Portal, but have you seriously never even heard of it? What, have you been living under a rock for the past three years?

My bathroom has a portal.

May be you toilet has one?

I don't think that it will lead to some interesting place

i kinda dont like that this thread is getting so many 'non-display' replies, it was really pretty before lets leave it for the projects ok guys

Dark Inferno, You are right and I agree...
My chat posts have been deleted, as much as I was allowed...
I encourage others to do the same...
This post will be deleted shortly also...

I am currently working on a boss enemy for my game little submarine :

Working on some procedural stuff for a tiny game. No big stuff...

You forgot the screen shot

Finally have time again to work on the new ANet version:

Some ninja for a little araced game , very beginning of sculpting.

As Always: Making a Zelda game.

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s69/sdsdinc/zeldajune162011-c.jpg

For copyright reasons, I didn't invent Zelda.. Duh.

i still cant see why one would remake a game like this, idk, whats to gain ? but it does look good so theres that

Actually, making such a game makes a whole lot of sense to me. That way, you can find out more about game mechanics, how all that neat stuff is coded and get to know what it is that makes the original you're trying to rebuild for yourself such a great game. So there's a ton of knowledge to gain, and IMHO that's worth a lot.

But those are just my two cents.

Link looks fat but cool!

that and sometimes its fun to make your own version of a game. i remember when i was a kid redrawing mario levels. by the time i was 14 i remade 2 full levels of my own with exact mario bros 3 physics and images. they were fun as hell.

Working on a model pack for RTS games based on C&C generals

Working on a way to create a game like "Stronghold Kingdoms"..

At the Moment, we are creating the Server/PHP/Database/Client Technics..

You have a third party client that acts as run loop for the server and updates it over the wire, this has several disadvantages: First, your system isn't autarkic anymore and you gained a lot of "single points of failure". The second problem is latency, which you always have to deal in an network environment, but yours is unneeded. The third problem is concurrency and this is also the thing you will feel in labor tests (the other two points are most likely only noticeable in a real world environment). You will face many concurrency issues once you are logged in with your client, this goes from wrong updated labels to cheat possibilities for users.

The second big mistake is the choice of PHP, while PHP is great for dynamic websites, its unbelievable slow and costs too many performance. What you do is something like "hey everyone, please DDoS my server. kthxbye" and it won't take many clients to take you server down.

The third big mistake is scalability, one day, you just can't scale up anymore without facing really bad bugs, mostly due to the external run loop. You also might want to reconsider the choice of MySQL, while it is great and well tested (someone ran into a possible problem long before you), PostgressSQL for example might be well more suited.

There are many many more mistakes in your design, even if its just a rough "lets do it this way and look how we implement it in detail on the fly" (which is also a big mistake), but I'm not going to list all of them for a project that will be canceled in a few weeks so if you want to here more or a actual proposal for a new infrastructure with protocol, write me a PM and tell me what you are ready to pay for it.

In the meantime I have to stay with my conclusion:
Looks like the worst and inefficient "protocol" ever.

make a better proposal..

What do you pay?

I would lok at it as a rough conceptional overview of the logic system o.O

giving critics is easy.. but giving good advices - is not your strength..
But why do i wonder about that.. it´s you -.-

Starting new projects is easy... but finishing them - is not your strength.
Tell me: Why should I bother giving you advice when the project dies in a few weeks anyway? Beside that, I posted numerous advices about multiplayer and programming in general. I also wrote a pretty big library which uses lots of advanced stuff so what do you want to tell me? That I'm just saying things without showing that I can do them? Isn't it more like YOU are the one who always says "I do this epic game now" without ever finishing one of them?

@Devon :
i like a lot your Zelda remake
Indeed i think you'll gain big experience in programming and making cartoon stylised textures and level design !
Keep it up !

oh.. i finished games.. just not with A8.. but Rpg-Maker95-2000, Game maker and RmXP.. why do i talk.. *ignoring sid..*


I like the Zelda Game, too. But, aren´t there problems about Licenses?

Thanks for all the kind remarks

I am only making this game as a learning corner - and mostly for fun.
As a child, I enjoyed Zelda3: A link to the past and always wanted to play another game like it... but that's impossible to find. So why not make it myself?

Mainly @ Joozey: All the characters will be in a chibi style, inspired by the original game - Thats why link looks a little fat.. hes chibi style XD

I will not be selling this game at all - its simply just a fan game, that will be free to play when it is finished; Like i mentioned its to learn how certain aspects can be achieved.. then I will make my own game.

Just wondering... has Sid ever finished a game? He sounded like it...

Yes, he actually did... He even finished three games and some serious applications for this new shiny iOS device.
The first one was the famous gulli:adventure (I guess you can still find it on gulli.com) with which he won an iPhone 3G and a short trip to vienna.
The second one was 5mb robot (can be found in the AUM resources)
The third one is the successful and infamous iAtoms which you can currently get for free on the App Store (to be honest, I just wrote the multiplayer part and the graphics engine for the game, Slin wrote the single player part)

And two of my recent serious applications are Moneybag and Trafiken which both can be found on the App Store as well (the second one is a pretty cool swedish traffic app).

Oh and then I wrote a small Open Source kernel called NANOS ( https://github.com/JustSid/NANOS ) and the best 2D engine for iOS devices (its still! the only one with shader support ( https://github.com/JustSid/Void-Dead ). And I still have this pretty unsuccessful (for unknown reasons) library called Lite Foundation. But all of these aren't really games and there is an even greater list of finished small projects... Oh and I have a list of abandoned projects as well, but not as long as the one from Esper: A Minecraft recipe browser for iOS (Notch told me to stop it. Meh), Die Händler (A7 game, you can find it here I guess), Miltun (A5 game) and iAtoms v2.

Well then, congrats for finishing these.
I still dislike the way you try to make fun of him. If you think you're in a position allowing you to give advice, do so. If not then your posting is a waste both of your and our time.

"STOP STOP! JUST STOP! YOUR TEARING THIS FAMILY APART" *grabs hair* lol but seriously, lots 'o hostility on the forums recently

Sorry ^^
We'll stop. Sorry Sid. To get back on topic, I'm working on: (Tadaaaa!!) fixing CSiS.

Almost all bugs either don't happen on my setup or they are ones that only happen every 30 minutes or so. That means I have CSiS running all the time, and every 30 minutes (on average) I get a tiny bit of information about one crash.
This sucks... I seriously need to think about a way to get more crashes.

In the meantime, we are adding a damage effect when health < 30:

@Germanunkol: Did you use Acknex wait(x) ? If not, you could try to implement a logger for detailed runtime information and a stacktrace on crash(last one isnt possible if you use Acknex wait(x) feature)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-dpheqfcI0

finished an other model for the RTS pack

Rakscha, sadly, I use wait(1) all over the place, yes... I'm hoping LiteEditor's debugging functions will help.
Is there another way to get acknex to render?

Good news though: We've fixed a few of the more pressing bugs today. Not bug free yet, but much, much closer to it.

Realspawn: well done on the models. But a normalmap wouldn't hurt. Why not make a highpoly version and then bake normals? I think especially the barrels would look much better.
Also, what about skins?

for now i am aiming at low poly model making as i am no
expert Later i will see if i am up to the texture challenge

for now however i am having fun

@Germanunkol: use on_frame

It is triggered everyframe. This way you'll have to implement your own entity management if you dont want to use waits, but it allows clean stacktraces from your on_frame event down to the function that failed.

mh..just noticed there's a on_message for the winmessages to, nice^^

Hm well, I would have had to know this 4 years ago... ^^
I don't think I'm going to redesign the entire game for this now. It might be very useful, but it's not really practical at this stage into the game. Also, I believe to have fixed most of the things.
I just found on_ent_remove... I find this one very interesting as well... ^^

finished loading dock drop platform and the war factory

a few to go

I prototyped today...

InnerFlow
Relaxation application for the same heart device I talked about above. No keyboard controls. Just your heart.





It looks way cooler in motion. But wait for the next iterations.

Woot! Lovely.

So this is your heart then? What were you thinking about on the third image? It gets dangerously red...^^

This doesn't replace the "sort-of-procedural" levels from before though? I liked them...

Edit: "Radius 256"... that was a programmer's heart, wasn't it?

Ok, I apologize - I don't have the device here yet, it is a procedural pattern. The red-orange-yellow-green color change indicates low-to-high heart variability, so to say, if everything is green, you are in an absolutely relaxed state.

The circles are target circles. The theory is: if the user remains his stress/relaxation state constantly (by breathing, meditating, etc.), the light-worm is circling. And the better your heart variability is, the bigger gets the circle. So, the goal is to "draw" bigger circles with your heart then the target circles. 256 is just my initialization radius ;-)

This project is no replacement, it is just another one in development for that device. "The Descent" reached now milestone 1 and when this here is done, we proceed to the next milestone.

@HeelX
A surival horror prototype using this concept would be awesome. The only lightsource would be the one your character carries and it´s color and intensity changes the way you implemented it in your firefly project. And only hiding or a lot of light could save you from getting killed through enemies...

very first screenshot of a new level for Assault!

It will be a kind of old industrial zone

I'm having too much projects on again.

i ran some tests to fake GI using the last shadeC beta, basically each light was two light sources, its certainly not great but it beats the direct lighting by miles ... as for speed, wasnt bad, plus my pc sucks so i assume it acceptable for most

Nice. Can we see some comparisons without the second light? Also, how do you decide where to place the second light?

Jibb

worked on the night-setting of my 3rd Person Adventure game

I'll upload those later, am on a scripting roll at the moment .. [lol yet am here typing, lol@excuse fail] lets just work with 'al upload them later'

I am currently finishing G.R.U.N.T.S. and working on three other game related projects, two music related projects, two video related projects and the ongoing project of having a life with a fiancee and friends. i dont sleep much lately...

top: direct lighting
bottom: secondary non shadow light placed to illuminate previous shadows

ahm, at the moment i was just testing the possibility so all i did was the other light at the same position as the first, this ofcourse means that this light would shine through walls but i think it showed me that correct placement could achieve something good

also i think boh_havoc has GI planned, its already in but commented out, havent heard from him but it sounds good

@darkinferno:
Rendering a second light is quite inefficient since the same effect could be achieved with one or two extra lines in the 'shadowed light'-shader, but it looks quite good.
You should request this as a feature for ShadeC.

Well, I'm currently working on the Lite Foundation threading stuff (again) to make it even better when it will be available with the next LF update. Prepare for delicious code.

i'm currently working on an animation for the background of the loginscreen for the game Nakoon
and here is where i am at the moment:

I´m still working on the Launcher/Updater for Nakoon..

And i still need help with the video_border..
See: Lite-C problem: video_border

Endlich funzt des...

Game-Launcher WiP:

http://nakoon-game.de/Nakoon_Game/Artworks/Grafiken/Launcher_WiP.png

I am currently working on some music for a game me and achaziel are working on for months. its not going to push any limits tough

i know and GI is expected in shadeC, i was just running tests

I saw what you did there

OMFG, it`s Boxxy!
End of offtopic

/offtopic: You are late, Rondidon.

Most time sits in the tile editor which now features a versatile layering system and soon tile events coupling.
This game is supposed to be top down, I just suck at drawing proper perspectives .

The fruits of a brief programming break. Supposed to be a kobald.

Unreal Tournament 2004(like) based shooter without any Shader.
It have to be better than original Game.
