Re: The WIP Thread
Since I haven't posted about it lately, here's a quick clip of that mod I've been fucking around with lately. Still needs a lot of stuff (weapons, monsters, fx etc.) but I'm having a good deal of fun with it. Here's hoping other people do, too!

I lost it at the endscreen. Good job.

More in-game radio progress. Multiple radio channels can play simultaneously. In the first scene, 3 channels can be heard: the radio on the floor is playing a channel with no broadcast (intentional static), the radio on the barrel is playing some classic music, while your personal radio (the one only you, the player, can hear) is picking up some kind of distress signal nearby.
Copyrighted music only meant as demonstration, will not be used in the final game.

Based on a level layout from Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer.

Fantastic work nash. The game world suddenly feels very much alive.

Re: The WIP Thread
Just a small showcase of my WIP FPS game engine.
Making a game engine is hard, but pretty fun. Even more so if you don't have to make your own tools for it.

Very impressive, Phantom!

I love how the radio chat and the music goes at the same time, smoothly and nicely. I guess it gives you the side quest or something?Nash wrote:More in-game radio progress.

I've made some early testing builds of Chocolate Descent.

Re: The WIP Thread
Briefly tried it and the GPU coil whine in the menus (not ingame) made me nervous about sudden restarts. Cap that at 70 (for 320x200) / 60 (for 640x480)?InsanityBringer wrote: early testing builds of Chocolate Descent.
Like of what I played ingame so far though. Very very promising.
I've tried Descent in 1280x960 and I think it could maybe use some pre-scaled bilinear (320x200/400->640x400 nearest for doublescan, then bilinear to the target res) to deal with some aliasing. 320x400 stretched up is a bit ugly on the automap... Bilinear's not the best (CRTs didn't do bilinear scale) so there's probably a better non-Lanczos algo for it somewhere (short of having a full blown shader system to approximate all the fun bright phosphors and scopecreeping it beyond chocolate goals)
haven't dug out my old D2 disc to try that yet... I mained that in 640 in the day so there should be far less scaling concerns.

Re: The WIP Thread
I went ahead and implemented a FPS cap in the menus, 70 FPS for 320x200 and 60FPS for 640x480, though I guess the specific number isn't too important when there's no animation. My CPU usage charts are happier now, at least.
I'll investigate doubled pixels + bilinear filtering as a new FitMode option for lower resolutions. It should hopefully give me a good opportunity to clean up some of the messier parts of the screen code. Descent 2 in the 640x480 mode currently looks pretty good at 1280x960, the resolution I've been playing at the most during testing.

Re: The WIP Thread
Very impressive and unique design going on. I think i'm mistaking it as unity engine or some sort of!
