I still think you're nuts for doing anything in 3D given the time constraints.

Ludum Dare #26begins in about 2 days, 7 hours (from this post). Theme should be announced tomorrow I think.

Spoilersdon'tprevent the image from downloading. There's alsoThe Animated GIF Threadfor gifs.

Assuming you're using Windows, you can useMicrosoft Visual Studio(VS). I haven't used 2012, but have used 2008 and 2010 with Unity, so I'll assume 2012 works too. Express is the free version. Anyways, VS should allow you to open the .sln file generated by Unity (same file MonoDevelop opens)...

Well that does make them hardcore-something. As for what rustles my jimmies? Post college age adults with eyebrow rings. You aren't 16 anymore and you look stupid.

This man speaks the truth. Use primitives and colors to quickly populate a scene or level. Another option is rip content from other games. It'll take technical wrangling to get them from their various proprietary formats, but if you want something more visually appealing than geometric...

The setting is going to be high fantasy? First person/third person individual character? Auto attack + special trigger attacks? Tab targeting? Just asking, because the more exotic you go in terms of design, while potentially more awesome, the bigger the challenge and less likely to complete.

Absolutely true, but as he mentioned he has no actual plans to ever release, or that he and his wife are academics or students, so those are all irrelevant points. Unity is great for a lot of things, but I think if you want to go for a homebrewed MMO, Hero is probably the better of the two...

Well if money is important, $99 for Hero is cheaper than $1500 for Unity Pro. There is a free version of Unity, but it lacks a number of things, one of the most/first noticeable things is lack of shadows. That alone might be enough of a deal breaker for some. I don't know what Hero is...

What alarms me is the fact that a mere accusation via twitter over a possibly inappropriate joke by a self proclaimed social activist is enough to get a guy fired.

I hope so, but I won't hold my breath. Kickstarter gets their 5% cut only on successfully funded projects. So it's in their best interest to keep as many projects rolling, especially those heavily reliant on good feelings (and thus a high chance of hitting the milestones), as long as there isn't...

Didn't they have a lattice system in PS1? Wasn't that often complained about? Is this an example of them not learning from past experiences?

They'll probably do IP checks. It'll stop most people, though I imagine people willing to use VPNs or perhaps university lab type connections will be able to get away with it.

It looks likecupping.

So are the controls with keyboard/mouse for the PC acceptable? Or do you need a controller?

That's cool stuff! You mention you have a small area where it seems to work, have you thought about trying two (or more) cameras? I'm not familiar with the process, but a similar software a friend and I were checking out a while ago can use one camera for an approx. 2m x 2m (~6.5 ft^2) area...

Denaut's timeline correction still stands man. Vanguard started with Microsoft slated as publisher, and when that deal ended, SOE published it. It's either correct or it isn't. Your quote from Brad doesn't change that. Why that deal ended with Microsoft wasn't even part of the discussion.

Thanks for trying it man! I wish the graphics were better, but with only 72 hours, it's so hard to gauge early on how it'll go. It's been pretty windy here in the Dallas area the last few days too, and the main reason how I came to the premise. This will be my first spring/summer in the area...

There was a Mini LD this weekend, #40. I decided to enter it. The theme was: The Real World. Here's my entry page:http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/minil...view&uid=19340 And the playable web version:http://downloads.happypolygon.com/Lu...rnadotime.html

I was thinking the exact same thing... Can anyone explain the video? Is there something going on there? I see the elves, what I assume are nords, and an imperial? Or is it the three archetypes, caster, warrior, thief? It looks like a Blur video, which I remember hearing somewhere they charge...

You and the others are all true in theory, but it really depends on how it's done. Sorry for the length of this post and possible ramblingness, but it is something I know a bit about. Generally, as soon as you hand tweak the output, the output can no longer be replicated by whatever...

I did not know that, thanks for the info. Though I think you're a little too easy on the making ~5000 zones. At the very least the install size will be quite interesting, if you're going current/next gen graphics. I'm quite sure Smed was talking hyperbole, but if EQN tries something in that...

I'd make the argument that it's Eve. Which is, like, an entire galaxy? That'll be tough to out do. :| Unless they come up with something super crafty and revolutionizing, I think it'll be very difficult to make a Eve-styled fantasy without the freedom of what space brings to the table. Namely...

From theKickstart FAQ We allow creative projects in the worlds of Art, Comics, Dance, Design, Fashion, Film, Food, Games, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology, and Theater. Everything on Kickstarter must be a project. A project has a clear goal, like making an album, a book, or a work...

I didn't read every reply word for word, but the search "dual boot" didn't come up when searching. Anyways, this is one of the good options for using the Apple hardware, while overpriced compared to other brands, is pretty sleek and consistent experience. I understand why people like it. The...

I must admit I never played Ultima 4 or 5 so I could be wrong, but the latest RPG to come across my path is that seems in the vein you're looking for is the one the Starbound guys are currently pushing,Wanderlust. It's apparently not completely new, but seen a resurgence following the linking...

You could always pick one up while you're there and store it away for a special occasion sometime down the line, wins some big points for "thinking ahead." Assuming it's not too specifically fitted, you could always use it on a future girl if, for some reason, you never give it to this one.

That's got to hurt like hell. What's up with the discs though? And since this is fsr:

Turning a profit is the big question. Unfortunately, these games are made by businesses which are ultimately run by guys in suits. Some might be fond or even eager for the game, but in the end, they care about their returns on investment above all else. Targeting that niche might be successful...

Just curious, but how far are you, as a gamer, willing to go for that niche game? If the game had the gameplay you desired, how much would you be willing to pay for it (box and monthly)? Would you accept EQ-at-release era graphics in a game released in 2013+? How much are you willing to give up...

I've only looked into out of curiosity (so I could be wrong), but with just text you have a writer/writing team and possibly editors. With voice, you have the writer/writing team/editors, plus voice actor, director, casting & other agents, sound engineers, producers and a few other things (like...

I agree with you Erronius. I am interested in what they're going to do with WoD (admittedly I haven't really been following it closely). I also have to say, having been catching up on EQNext, I am more interested now in what they say they want to do than I was previously. It might very well...

You are absolutely right, but I'm talking even bigger picture here. EQ and WOW and many other games are still "kill shit, get loot, level." The pacing of loot acquisition or rarity of loot is an important difference between them absolutely, but it's still a subcategory. There are MMOs that...

I don't think anyone is saying there's something "wrong" with it, just they want to find something different to stand apart. Let's face it, if you come out now with something anything like WOW (including a kill shit, get loot, level model), it'll be called a WOW clone, and people will tune out...

I use downloadhelper for Firefox which works nice for grabbing swf, flv and mp4 off of websites. But as for getting stuff from your cache, I'm not too sure. But I do know, in FF atleast, if you right click on a page, click "View Page Info" and click on the "Media" tab, you can see all the...

I finally got a chance to sit down and install the redistributes. Nice job on completing it, and how you managed to work the goats in.Quite impressive for 48 hrs imo. I did get annoyed with the "no click through text" part though!
