Great find.....

sdfgeoff

Thwack ooofff.
Bit late that warning....... (jk)

It rained today, so most of it has gone.

sdfgeoff

Now's you time to become rich.....

sdfgeoff

Me crying? nah.
Had fun yesterday and built an igloo. I was amazed at how warm it was inside!

sdfgeoff

And we have another snow storm, this time predicted to last 3 days.

3 days ago BigJ (One of the modelers assisting me) presented this level, which he had kept from me for about 3 weeks. I hadn't seen him on IRC for ages, and thought he had given up on the project. Then Bang! Here is a level for you...... He's told me now that he's also working on another one (traini...

Been ages since I let you guys know what was happening with this project here. So let me get you up to speed: There have been literally millions of changes, from new bots to improved framerate, and even a proper level. It even has the base for a highscores system I have set up a new website with for...

oders Corner?

sdfgeoff

Hehe, crayon physics. One of the games that was on the school network for years before they found it. Along with numpty physics (I can be blamed for introducing that one though)

sdfgeoff

West coast = Cold, Wet, Miserable (at least most of the time) their rain days a year is probably over 200

sdfgeoff

Yeah, snow is a bit overrated, but you have to admit it is cool until you start not being able to open doors. If you want to know 100 feet is 30.48 meters, and I doubt that that will fall here in New Zealand for at least the next thousand years or so. Made a snow-penguin, I'll see if I can post a ph...

sdfgeoff

Yep, the sheep got it.... (Or some of them at least. When you go biking through farmland after a snow storm you can see it) December? Almost Christmas, only another 6 months or so, but the snow is already here! I've been out and about, on a toboggan made from two scavenged ski's. Remind me: 1) Not t...

If you look for relaxing music with a slight rock to it try Zero Project music
Best of all he releases all his music completely free....

sdfgeoff

In short, SNOW!!!

over 10 cm snow over last night, and it's continuing to snow pretty hard now....
Pretty chilly at -1 degrees, but should warm up tomorrow (max 11)

sdfgeoff

It may have....

sdfgeoff

Ah ha Instead of recording at 25 fps, If I record at 20 fps then I get 20fps out of the game to, that might help. It takes 70% of this laptops CPU to record at 25 FPS or 50% to record at 20. Who knows why there is such a big difference? The game itself uses just over 50% Anyway, the next one should ...

sdfgeoff

I think I could improve it more if I could select a bit of the screen, rather than just from the top right. I'm using ffmpeg (Linux) so if you have any experience with that let me know.

Otherwise yes, I may have to get out the good old camera

sdfgeoff

Unfortunatly I can't do any better than that sort of buying a new computer.....
Thing is that the computer is spending it's time capturing 25 fps video, and forgetting to run the game. So while the video is 25 fps, the game is only running at 10 or so.
I'll see if I can do better at the next one.

sdfgeoff

Made a gameplay video today:

Framerate is a bit bad sue to my silly computer
Music is from zero project

sdfgeoff

If you're looking for bass, well then, I'm afraid that this is the only way to go, unless you happen to have the guitar amp from back to the future....

sdfgeoff

Wouldn't surprise me actually.
The most popular game for my friends at the moment is "curveball" like 3D pong, and "Tetris"
It seems that the old arcade games are making a comeback on the web!

sdfgeoff

Classical music doesn't go down to bass????

Yes it does, try listening to Pachelbels Cannon with little bass and you'll miss the whole point of it.

sdfgeoff

Ouch. I didn't know that, so thanks for alerting me to it. It is also the name of a virus!!! Few things: 1) Defender is an ancient arcade game, only alive because of flash conversion to online play. 2) Defender will probably not be the final name of this game project. It was just the only thing I co...

It's all about copying rights. If you buy an mp3 for 99 cents, you're paying for the right to listen to it, not to copy it. Being able to listen to music for free is no different if they haven't given you any copying rights. A lot of software is also free but not redistributable. Note that sometime...

sdfgeoff

Don't get me wrong, I haven't stolen anything.

Youtube is free.
You can go on there any time and listen to any music for zero extra cost.

So it's free, right?

Can you steal something that's free?
Well, no, because it's free.

So how about downloading 'illegal' music from youtube???

sdfgeoff

Meh, just give it a bash on the nose, they're very sensitive there!

But yes, that is huge!

sdfgeoff

Oh, didn't know that.
Thanks. I may have to switch now....

sdfgeoff

I'm still using 10:04 and have been happy with it. I am very hesitant to change to 11:04 for the following reason: They have changed from a windows stile menu to a much less user friendly (for a developer) iconned sidebar menu. It becomes a pain to find any rarely used application. It also has no ta...

sdfgeoff

I think it is flying around inside blood. Kill the germs or something

sdfgeoff

I like your sense of humor, lots.

Awesome.

I was searching around on google for other 6DOF games, and found the normal selection:
Descent
Freespace
Minerwars
and so on

I then came across a rather odd little 6DOF game called Arc Aether.
Maybe I should let you have a look

sdfgeoff

A lot of work been done since then. Forums, IRC etc now working on a new website Deaths, you now die, but do not warp back to start yet. Few enemy turrets (Missile and Laser) New Level in development. Outdoor Canyon. Instead of the typical "roof" to the sky, I will have an enemy cruiser th...

sdfgeoff

Brilliant. Thanks for that Isaac. I'll be using that extensively in the future I think.

sdfgeoff

the hosting crowd were having a problem with there servers last night.
It should be working now.

sdfgeoff

Right, it has been updated

Changes:
Navigation area no longer is an image map, instead it is buttons with CSS
Nav area background

Note:
all the links should work except the irc one. I still need to make that page properly....

sdfgeoff

Thanks for your input. I've done a bit of work on it, and should upload it in a few hours.

sdfgeoff

Well, as part of my game project, I have made myself a website. Due to running Linux I can't try it on what ~90% (I think?) of the web population uses: Internet Explorer. Anyone feel like testing it for me? Known issues: Firefox: Image map has issues. Top link works, but others don't seem to Epiphan...

sdfgeoff

Some of you guys feel like having a chat to me. At this stage (making a descent based remake) I am open to ideas.
If you want to, catch me on this webpage.

sdfgeoff

Thanks
I have another one for you
