What was the last compo you won?

Assemblee

Oh, right, the cute dungeon crawler you made. :)

I expect amazing things.

heh ambitious

I have high expectations, with a title like that.

uh oh

This is getting pretty complicated.

Ivan clearly doesn't realize that he's up against me. But I'll let him keep dreaming.

Good luck and all, but I'm gonna have to win this compo. 8)






So whatcha makin?

ChevyRay and Ivan, prepare to admit your defeat!  :handshakeL: >:D
It's hard to say anything yet but count me interested.

Does square Alfs live on that planet?

3D? Oh shiiii I'd better get serious. What you codin in Ivan? C++/OpenGL?

It's my own engine, which I am perpetually about to release, but this should be a pretty serious test of it. Yes, it's C++, though most of the game code is written in LUA.

That is the second most awesome laser tutu I've ever seen.

Tutu!?

Why, I'll show you!!

Some issues with polygon division still, but starting to make some progress.

Ehhhhhxcellent.  Can't wait to see that slicing in action  :-*

Dammit Safrin, stop hogging all the 1st places.

A video of my tests so far. Trying it out with more complex meshes (~5000 triangles):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uFxCTWXWsc

No mesh capping yet, but I'm getting there.

The game is going to be Die by the Sword, Bushido Blade and that new Metal Gear game that I am ripping off so hard, all mixed together and networked.  :wizard:

I have to say that I am impressed with the dynamic slice action!

ow mang, slicing meshes is awesome, why isn't that in more games?
Also: can't you like generate a face where the mesh is cut? I know it sounds very complex but it's not very pretty seing invisible parts in the middle

Impressive tech! How is the gameplay going to work? Players chop eachother up like watermelons?

Or maybe players are watermelons.

Yeah, that's the next and somewhat more complicated part. I'm getting some stuff working already though.

Looking good Ivan! If you actually pull this off it will be awesome.  I've been wanting to see a decent Bushido Blade style fighter for a long time.


I hate dealing with geometry so I'd probably do something cheesy with clip planes and the stencil buffer.

METAL GEAR!? </snake voice>  8)

When I first saw that watermelon video whenever it was released, I was impressed. Now you're doing the same thing (kinda) in an indie-game competition, so I'm even more impressed! The youtube video didn't let me down, and I wouldn't be surprised if you did win. Keep it up, and more importantly: more screens and videos!!

pfft you call that a sword?  Silly straight-edges subdivision.  I have a deadly Banach-Tarski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox) blade.  Let me demonstrate it on this panda:

before slicing:

 :panda:


after slicing:

  :panda: :panda:

Far more impressive.

Hope you're having fun, though! :)

It looks like this is coming together nicely.  I'm looking forward to chopping lots of stuff.  Chop, chop.

Maybe you don't need to create a real face, maybe you can just generate a few blobby decals to mask the void

Nono! No shortcuts! Gotta do it proper!

Well that cleared it right up!

hahah what a pile of crap  :lol:

This. Game. 

Don't limit how many times we can cut things. >:)

That purple pixel in your avatar is really unsettling.

You can turn off avatars from your profile page.  That's what I do.

"A katana? This is getting interesting."
-Travis Touchdown

I expect this to be a cooking game in the end.

I can see it now...

Super Cooking Adventure!

"Chopping vegtables has never been this fun!"

Featuring:

• Real-time knife physics including 9 sizes and styles!
• 51 variations of herbs and spices!
• 18 beautiful kitchen vistas!
• Real granite counter tops!
• An open world of culinary exploration!*

* Food not for human consumption.

Also: This is really interesting from a technical standpoint. When you figure out how you're going to generate the geometry for the new faces (assuming that's what you do) we'd love to hear how you do it!

I have no idea if this is allowed or if your making your own models or what but i love this and would like to let you use my ninja model if you so wish.

Not the greatest uv's in the world but they work, HERE (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2478466/ninja_sdk.rar) it is.

I can also release the texture for you if use like, let me know.
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t127/willy-wilson/Capture-76.png)

Wow, thank you! I saw your ninja before and really liked it!!

I am trying out a couple of different looks for the game right now. One of them your ninja fits perfectly and the other one (untextured and a bit higher polycount one), it's a bit out of place in. If i use the former, I would love to use your model!

Speaking of which, I'll have some more details in the next couple of days.

Looking amazing so far. I'm expecting a very fun game as always Ivan.

No, don't do it! Swords are dangerous, they'll fucking cut you wide open (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_RpbaUU7NI)!


Looking forward to it, looks cool so far!

Started modelling some characters:

(http://www.ivansafrin.com/crap/redsun1.png)

Will it be shaded like that?  Cause that is beautiful.

Yep! I've been falling in love with flat shading lately. There is going to be environment lighting, but it wont actually shade the model. I have some nice shader tricks up my sleeve :)

With all these people doing 3d, I'm feelin' really insecure.   :'(

The image is broken :(

Ewps, sorry, forgot to pay my hosting. Should be a-ok now.

Yay, another one joins the flat shading fan club :)  You know that plus careful use of subtle gradients would be pretty awesome  :-*

Made some modelling progress today.

Keeping under 2K polys still and no textures.

(http://www.ivansafrin.com/crap/redsun2.png)

I think it looks amazing without textures, but I'm sure they'll continue to astound.

I think I'm going to try to keep it without any textures.

chugging along.

got him all rigged up.

(http://www.ivansafrin.com/crap/redsun3.png)

Beautiful.

This

Making some progress on game code, but nothing that exciting to show yet.

In other news, I replaced my shoddy rig with a more professional one using the amazing Rigify add-on that comes with the latest Blender beta.

(http://www.ivansafrin.com/crap/redsun4.png)

Messing around with the new rig

(http://www.ivansafrin.com/crap/redsun5.png)

god damn it you win already

That is amazing, cel-shaded is the new pixel without a doubt. Makes me want to see phish's chainsamuari in a duel with him.

Awesome, as every screenshot before. I want to see silly poses!

Everyone is passing to 3D, and I still haven't finished a game.  :tired:

That's gorgeous Ivan, I really like the lo-fi/hi-fi combination of the flat shading and bloom.

Will

Ivan,


Can I be your student?  :beg: PLEASE.

and we have a winner.

For teaching me the secrets of network theory I have some tribute for you master
It is a little battle meddley I composed for another game, you can use it for this project..if its any good that is  :).

http://www.filedropper.com/battlemedley

Master, already the enemy throw down on their bellies before you!
This is gooood. yeas
Tis good my master.

Thanks, guys! Your kind words help me push onward!

And thank you, Glinka! But I already have someone doing the music! But thank you so much for the offer!

So.. How's it going?

Ivaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Typical Ivan :).

I was really eager to play this game. I hope you finish it after all.
