now THAT'S camera shy....

so, a strategy to get INSTANT content for Core Decision. Build an automatic D3 Level Converter! :) That already exists to some degree, there are a couple programs that can convert a descent 1,2, or 3 level into 3d formats which you can then work on and texture in your favorite 3d app. When finished...

Now you all have to wait for Omega testing.

Sorry Joe, I don't recall labelling it as a beta at any time, in fact I make it a point not to. Everyone else seems to understand what it is. Thanks for your input.

Joe, You're criticising a sketch like its a masterpiece.

Hell, even if the texture work sucks ass, that doesn't make the engine unusable. That's all I care about any more. :) Well, that and the toolset. What texture work? The only texture that was actually worked on was the ship texture. The rest are stuff I threw on to get the movie done, and since I di...

Yes and no, we have been using one of the stock guns that come with the engine strapped to a ship so the effects and such are not our work therefore I have no reason to screenshot it just yet. No time frame yet on when I'll have effect shots of any kind. Shaders and such, sure... Just give me some m...

Sheesh, everyone screams "Give us screen shots of the work in progress!!!", then when they get them, they scream "Ick! That looks like a work in progress!!!" Whoa buddy, I didn't say anything like that. I could care less if it was a full AAA, published title and not a single scr...

I went ahead and retook them much bigger and with some ambient lighting.

Thanks Josh :]

I don't think Descent used ambient light at all. It had the illusion of it because the ship (and other entities in the mine) emittted a slight amount of light. I guess one question would be, are you using dynamic light with stencil shadows (like Doom 3?) or are you using lightmaps (like Unreal)? Ve...

Jeromie that you??

Yes it is sir :]
sup Josh!

Stryker was nice enough to move the zip of the screens to a free public host, and I upped the bandwidth limit on coredecision.highoctane.biz another 2gb so it's back up.

Redundancy FTW.

Pluto was never as popular as Goofy, It's probably good they dropped him.

Here is a link to a gallery of the screens

Um... Indika had a lot of polys being rendered at one time, but I've beaten 3000 polygons in Descent 2 levels. Go into Descent 2 and try to create a level that at any given time has 1.2 million polys in view and handles real-time radiosity as well as soft shadows, normal maps, bump maps, and textur...

Snoooop! We SHOULD be able to have a multiplayer demo by the end of the year. That's what we're shooting for. We fully agree on Gameplay vs Looks. I stress it constantly. We are not striving to primarily compete with big name games visually, I feel that is a huge downfall. I want to make a GAME, not...

All this feedback is just fantastic. I can't thank you guys enough for voicing your thoughts, good or bad. The robot and ship model compliments make me feel very good about this project. We will not let you guys down.

I freehand modelled, textured, and lit everything you see (with the exception of the ship which was textured by one of our artists and the support beam in the bot room which was made by Jared.) in less than a week. I was trying to hit a deadline for a movie as I said earlier in this post and also, l...

Apparently I'm not looking at what I thought I was...what is this? I thought High Octane was making that new game that took place in space? Remember those screenshots? Apparently that's a pyro in the hangar. I almost like it. The guns on the wings look too bulky for the rest of the ship. I don't se...

I am currently making a movie of game footage.

Thanks for the positive comments :]

From what I've been told, CD has no outdoor areas, but, they can be modded into a level. CD will have outdoor areas that are enclosed in domes and such since it is on Mars. Any 3d structure can be imported into the editor and blended with any other , the game fully supports "outdoors" wit...

Personally I couldn't care less. But the gaming industry has come a long way since the 1998-ish days of D3, and I remember back then we were saying the same thing about an engine that had pretty much the same capabilities. But eight years later, games have evolved (and so has hardware!). You are lo...

Hello. I am the Creative Director at High Octane. This is a level that I am creating to film a movie. The screenshots were compressed too far by the engine, I turned off compression and batched them myself so they look much better now. As for the tunnels, yeah they're bland because theres no prefabs...

More to come.

If you have experienced: Vauss firing from one side AB stuttering Fusion rapid fire or no/unreliable charge Rapid fire MD And you have to cap your fps to make it stop... You no longer have to do that, or do any binding of mouse buttons to keys with special software, although this software works righ...

Oh and just to be clear about it, I would punch you right in the face and run over your ass on my harley over descent. So take your non-descent ideas and stuff em up your ★■◆●ing grandma's ****. And don't call it a "descent" mod. How's that for Grammar and English?

Hi. I am here to introduce you to a concept. The concept is Humility. You want punctuation? Here it is. I do not believe how insolent you and your so far halfway well controlled ego have been to come here and ask for input you shun. It's ok, hypocrisy is normal for people with no inherent ability to...

When you pick up a game like descent and say "im gonna make a mod of it for doom 3" you have to realize that you're going to have to deal with its user base. its not imaginary. theres a very real user base out there that you're toying with right now. it IS time to discuss things of ALL nat...

Yay Photoshop.
