Re: strafe ?

They directly acknowledge id games, specifically Wolf 3d, Doom, and Quake. But they do randomize the levels. Rooms have chunks that are movable which makes them available for ambushes, secrets, or connections. No wording on how much verticality is planned in the layouts. If you pay attention, they'r...

Re: What are you working on?

I've got to say jim, those are some very consistent looking visuals. It feels like the Dragonant is made of the same components as the world. This may sound like the lamest compliment ever, but consistency in visuals is a huge failing point for me with games. So thus far, you're outstripping most ga...

CroTeam automates puzzle solving in Talos Principle

http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/04/the-t ... interview/

I like the simplicity of focusing on the key portions of the puzzle by watching a human do it, and then seeking out meeting those same requirements through a typical bot behavior.

Re: What are you working on?

No screenshot for it, and so it isn't what I am working on now, because I've finished, but the Zerstorer Map Jam should be out tomorrow, including a map by yours truly. Simple, really really rough around the edges, and lacking in a lot of details and polish... ...and texture variety... but packing 8...

The lamest bandaid temporary workaround stitched together with chickenwire and spit is now up.

I just finished moving 2500 miles with a 3 month old baby in a sub-compact car. Time to find my rhythm in a new time zone, and resume my blog, and designs.

I'm working on quitting my job and moving across the country without another job lined up, because I am just plain exhausted with my current job!

Re: General Discussion! *salutes*

Browsing RockPaperShotgun, because, pain. And I spotted this bit in an article: During the heyday of Half-Life modding, there seemed to be a new, experimental multiplayer game to play every week. I'm sure there were a lot of experimental mods for HL, but mostly what I recall were remakes of Quake an...

General Discussion! *salutes*

Here, it's a throwaway thread within the catch-all subforum. I wanted to share a random thing, but didn't think it justified its own thread, and realized we don't quite have a subject dump. Theoretically this should stay gaming related in some way.

Re: Doom 4 trailer?

I noticed that as well leilei, was considering doing a news post about it. You can promote the new Doom without hiding the 20+ year history of id. I find this shameful and alarming.

Re: main site infected?

Problem appears to be resolved, it was made possible by compromised credentials, feel free to change your passwords. I haven't seen evidence the forum was compromised, but unlike Taylor Swift I am not a security expert, so don't rely on me for that.

Re: Registering on the Inside3D Forums Part 2: The Revenge

For every new sign-up there are 10 to 100 spam signups, and they often look just as authentic/the authentic registrants look just as spammy as the inverse. When I know someone has registered, within the past 15 minutes, it still takes a moment to find the profile among the spambots that have registe...

Re: Video game industry: $100 billion and no mag??

I think the profit margin for the Game Developer magazine wasn't broad enough to sustain its production without putting Gamasutra in general at jeopardy. This is partly because much of the magazine content was on the site, and the magazine was filled with so many ads, that it was often worth it to j...
