First organic Lets Play footage! From a person on a Mac no less <3.  Cool!





& Here's an album of images from the prototype for you people:

Roll in mid air will be possible on certain bikes. Wait till you try it in VR

Gibson Hyperdrive is a very cool futuristic bike racing game that sees you driving at break neck speeds along super tough procedurally generated floating tracks.

Don't forget, JASPER BYRNE on the soundtrack, and DAN TERMINUS' Restless Destroyer![/url[

Happy to be making this game for you, TIGSource! And my boys & girls in The Poppenkast, of course (shhhhh!    )

I wonder which console this is going to come out on....   

 

I'm still http://twitter.com/Doomlaser  (huge @Tigsource and @mwgener supporter!)
but I have a newish personal account now that my operation is getting bigger and weirder, like I've been planning since, well, why do you think I called it DOOMLASER!?

The Doomlaser account will post all the cool stuff about videogame production and music, like it has since 2007. Rock on, TIGers

COMING TO "A CONSOLE" SOON, FOR REAL! contact: [email protected], especially if you wanna interview me for a story!

Here's the trailer from when we took the as yet unnamed prototype to BitBash in Chicago last fall. Great event.

I know it's hard as fuck at the moment and it's got some test sky particles, but it feels pretty good to me, and people liked this build at Bit Bash. It's come a long way. Originally this was my testbed project for relearning Unity3D after years of writing my own engines or using even more crazily disabled middleware for stuff like Space Barrnacle. I need to get this guy out. Needs some things obviously, but yes. Just wanted to give people a chance to play around with it.

V. Super Hexagon inspired, obviously, but all the core mechanics and instadeath come from messhof's 2009 prototype. I added the world rotation (taken from my game Rotrix) in 2010 at TIGJam: Winnipeg, and have been poking at it ever since. You can see that version in the last shot in this Indie Game: The Movie clip:





Anyway, have fun getting killed. It's hard. My record is over 200 seconds on this test level..

Coming Soon to devices near you, a much improved and refined version of:

Originally Fated as Terror Bikes, by Messhof, myself, and Cactus, GIBSON HYPERDRIVE rises from the ashes of a fallen neofuture and arrives, crashing through your doorstep into hyperbole.

Controls are arrows and space.

It's currently hard as fuck and janky like a good Bike Game. Imagine the possibilities.

Let it be my first post as an hello to this forum  

love the colors and didn't even notice it was in voxel-style until I looked at it for a moment. welcome to tigs, manbaby!

re: fonts. Silkscreen is a very readable and free font designed specifically for ultra low resolution. it's what flickr used for years.



real size:


5x5 pixels per char

here's something for this thread.

Adaptive frameless rendering, presented at SIGGraph 2005.




wonder if there's any news on this technique in modern engines

As for audio stuff, I recently integrated this free port of CSharpSynth into a couple projects, and it's been great. It can play back midi files with full control over synths, precise callbacks on note hits, muting/soloing/mixing tracks etc. comes with example analog synths and FM synthesis. Also useful for playing synced silent midi event tracks alongside rendered audio...

works on every unity platform  (standalone mac/pc/web/iOS/Android), free, and open source. don't know what your plans are, but it could be useful for implementing dynamic soundtrack stuff.

the video initially had another audio track, but i wasnt happy with it. after all the video updates we've done, i dont have many "trailer suitable" rain world tunes laying around! didnt have time to do another before posting, so i switched it to a little wolfgang amadeus! i agree with gimmy though, i thought it was nice

sorry, but I'm sticking to my guns. Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is the

of classical music    

Amazing how the music fit the game, and generally I'm against over use of classical musique theme, but its like the right contrast especially when rain intensifies, perfectly capture the grace of the visual and how it feel like a choreography when there is none

I'll disagree here. The game is looking great, but that Mozart track is so overused it masks the brilliance of the actual game engine with a super generic, stereotypical feel. I'd recommend using something a bit off the beaten path like

, or

in the future.

Been working on a platformer for a few months.  It uses touch input quite effectively, works pretty good.

That's a really interesting way of handling touch input for a game like that. Cool
Game looks fun besides

This is a control scheme that Squareball first hit upon in 2008 on the iPhone. It works really well, since the control is so analogous to scrolling, which is a natural fit on touchscreens.

The Blaster Beam is a big, weird custom instrument that Jerry Goldsmith used for the score of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979

You could do something like OG Ghost Recon, where you control one character at a time and the rest move around with AI agency, but you could swap between them and maybe have some meta control over them from a map view.

Honestly, it'd be kind of cool to have a multi-character / multiclass FPS where flicking through the scrollwheel switched your character perspective instead of switching guns, thought it might get a little disorienting. But I'm imagining a flow like -- move, perform whatever attack or action you want, switch to next character while the first performs his action and recharges stamina, repeat.
