Yup, it's that easy. Send me whatever files you like, and I'll send you back zips of the completed levels.... (so long as they're textured. I have enough texturing to do already) I'm busy preparing a few packs of models that will help assist level building. This is some screenshots of the Industrial...

Well here's mine: Descent 1: Medium Lifter: Shield powerups (that home in on you) Class 1 driller: Ouch = homer Descent 2: Internal Tactical Droid: 'Come here you pesky little thing' (Or harsher) Thief bot: Who's vacuuming up my powerups? = chase through mine (Or on the 'Thick as thieves' level: ARR...

I always wondered what timezone these end times prophesies plan to take place in.
Guess it's not ours.

Popular science recently published this article , on the worlds grossest bricks, made from recycled materials. http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/article_image_large/articles/paperbrick.jpg What would happen if you mounted that nozzle on a CCC (Computer Controlled Crane (Yes I just came up with ...

Just a collection of screenshots from the latest levels: Training level 3 gives you a single room with very few bots in it. Here's the room: http://deepspace.x10.mx/images/upload/2012/12/17/20121217200455-fa5000f7.png And a video showing how it was made (took just over an hour, here it's compressed ...

All those fantastic landscapes? They were shot in my country! That's where I go tramping over holidays... As normal, it's better in real life too.

Unity seems to be doing well, judging by how many games I've seen recently using it. So, what was it?

Mail sent....

If you don't recognise that, it's a mega missile from D3

sdfgeoff

Woohooo.
Now, where is he?

You'll have to excuse us here, we are full of people with nothing better to do than sit on a computer:
1) Posting odd bits of information
2) Criticising peoples English
3) Getting annoyed when someone spots a mistake in their own writing.
4) Doing any of these
5) Making random art

This is a perfectly good place! Descent Valhalla has a nice article on the popular joystick configs: http://www.descentvalhalla.com/articles/joystick.aspx Pretty much: Find a setup that works best for you and use it. Experimentation is the only way. Myself I can't fly on joystick, I'm OK with mouse,...

But we have to make fun of penguins! Why else would we visit the board?

(BTW, this reminds me of the card game mao)

Solar eclipse for us down here. Not a total, but a 68%.
Still, it's quite cold and dim outside.

Add your own quotes, or slightly edited quotes, or come up with your own. Orson Scott Card, Xenocide.

Well, I hate to be different, but down south here we call it a 'fizzy drink' or simply 'fizzy'

yeah, sorry, this is more Tech than Cafe

Sorry I was a view that didn't like. I'll go like it now....

Oh, and the facebook html source code is an absolute nightmare. I think they deliberately made it impossible to read.

Well, I like IRC, and use it quite a bit, so I've been creating custom pages to put it on. In an online browser game I play, I made a page that will load chat down the bottom, and the game up the top. That works fine. So how about facebook? Well, facebook doesn't load in a frame. So I tried to load ...

One last piece of advice: Make an importer for descent levels. It means that the descent community can contribute maps without having to learn a new program. I'm working on a descent 1 level importer for blender, but I hit a bit of a wall, and the code will need complete restructuring. After exam se...

Well then... As some of this community knows, I'm also doing a descent remake, in blenders game engine. If you want to download the game you can use the models if you like (They're all in .blend format). Mapping hey? I hate it. My only recommendation is to spend time on and not give up. It generally...

In 30 seconds I'd get further running. If I were to try the car: Sprint out of house after grabbing key. Run to the gate, open the gate Fumble for correct key Open the car door Get in car and start engine. Reverse and turn. Accelerate forwards down the drive-way Brake at end of driveway to turn onto...

Ever read any of Alan Dean Foster's commenwealth books? They use the 'KK' drive, which is almost exactly what you describe, but they generate a mass 'field' in front of the ship, rather than just increase the mass of something. There's a complete description of this over here . This can also be used...

Next time I go running in the mornings (ie, next week when I'm back on my normal routine) I'm going to try this.

Currently I wouldn't make it out the house. That's because I'm in bed.
If I was more up it would be:
leap up, jump out the window (yes, its open and would save time)
then down the path, open the gate, down the drive.
maybe a few tens of meters down the road.

Looking great. I hadn't thought about whether they would be drills or claws. Interesting. On a side note: How is it that the diamond claw can actually damage you? There's a lot less energy involved in a claw-strike than even a class-1 laser (laser moves faster, and emits light, so must have more ene...

Is that ... Blender?
I've been working on DEEP Space in blender, and if you wish to donate your ship to the cause, I'll be happy to include it!

sdfgeoff

I side with Alter-Fox on this!

Not very. I posted a youtube video tutorial on it (second thread down I think), and there is also this page. I'm still writing it so it's a little in-complete. Or you can just copy an existing level and edit it. The second test level is good place to start. Pretty much there are three stages: 1) Mod...

The first black thing is the introduction for the training levels.... As you can see, it's not much of an introduction! If you want to avoid it, then start on the second (which is the first) level. The first test level is stupid (ie empty), so don't worry about it. The last test level does have some...

I'm making this release just before I head into exam season. I don't expect much work will be done here for just over a month (till the mid/end of November) Changes: - New menu (the final one!) - A proper extract utility for levels and addon-packs - Support for cutscenes (not that there are any yet)...

How did I miss this for so long? Looks great, nice visuals (at least, I think so) I have a few technical questions: 1) How are you doing the minimap? Does it build as you go along? It it 2D or 3D? 2) When can I play it? I'm happy to test even if it's crappy, and can possibly create/share some models...

sdfgeoff

Well then. What do we do with bots?
Anyone got a pyro sitting around? I'm happy to pilot.

Did we scare him away already?

Here's a tutorial on how to make levels for DEEP Space, if you make any (or have problems) let me know on the DEEP Space forums.

Right, On various colonies there are 'enviro-domes,' small-town-ish like massive structures. As a means of getting around people use some type of vehicle that follows a track, a bit like a tram, train or mag-lev system.
Any chance for a drawing of a vehicle and it's track?
