noice!
I was already missing your LD51 thread

originally we made plans to make a rogue like FPS in kind of an "Alien" setting.

now I've just worked on a pure shooter, where waves of enemies(cubes ) attack you, like bullet hell.
waves getting bigger and enemies stronger, you only delay your death. It's working, but not really polished.

I found picoCAD, I think I will learn to create art with it for LD51 

Looking forward to play your game, I'm hyped it will be funny. No Pressure! 

>  Hope I can make it fun to lie your way through job interviews!
 
I love the idea, especially knowing the theme 

darn, my teammate 3d artist vanished 

I think it's the first time I like a LD theme 

all remaining themes are shieet; everything as usual

I feel like someone might want to hijack the system, by creating 1k accounts since LD49 and then pushing some random silly theme, Echoes.

anyway, these are the 10 from the 3rd round:
Sky pirates
Teleportation
Tunnels
Space is limited
Echoes
You are the power source
Overgrown
Crossroads
Repair
Branching out
Momentum
A single resource
Strength in numbers
Decay
Treasure Map
Fill the void
Combine

oh, you are right! I haven't noticed that before you mentioned it. Maybe someome proposed it 3 times and it got voted up by the same people every time. We'll see when round 3 is up 



Here are the options for round 2:
Some assembly required
Playing both sides
Fragile
One use only
Replication
Mutation
Automation
Delay the inevitable
Layers
Corruption
Color is a mechanic
Overflow
Echoes
You control the environment, not the character
Leave something behind
Snowball effect
A faithful companion

all these possibilities...
Road trip
Folklore
Out of order
Echoes
Infestation
Become the enemy
Read the manual
Shelter
Outnumbered
One tool, many purposes
Clockwork
Make connections
Parasite
Different every time
Garden
Mirror
Out of bounds

 

I saw that in the TIGSource discord, it's a small jam where you write a raytracer in your favourite language in a single source file.

oooh, LD again, I would have missed it without your thread. thank you!

I cross fingers for "You are the power source", I get mindstorms from that.

I get a feeling like making some synthwave'ish game :D
but yeah, lets wait till all my suggestions pop up in the 3rd round 

This time the Theme slaughter felt like work, but I'm finally done

Slaughtered (4473)
Kept (195)
Flagged (2)

I prefer to be surprised by the theme so I never suggest anything.

oh, yeah, being surprised by the theme is nice, I agree
does it mean, you also don't vote to not see the top30 and top10 candidates?

Maybe I should take your approach, cause usually I feel like the worst candidate won 

woohooo, theme suggestions and voting is like 50% of the fun

here are my 3 contributions:
-fun for disabled friends
-you are your team mate
-playable only once

what are all your suggestions?

I approve this

I would cut the blue box by all red boxes and fit a plane along the cut area (just approximate).
The normal of that plane would be the direction I'd push the blue box.

There are many ways to approximate the plane e.g.
1. store the plane of every cut contact point, in the end, average these.
2. calculate the centroid of all remaining contact points and use that and the center of the blue boxs to calculate a plane
3. run 10 iterations: take 3 random conact points,  calculate a plane, calculate the delata of min/max distances of all contact points and keep the plane with the smallest delta.

Cutting might sound complex, but if you cut with one plane/side of the box at a time, dividing into an "inside" and "outside" part, keeping only the "outside", it's manageable.

I guess posting in forums attracts talk but no action 

well, you asked for talk

My questions for you are:
1) As a reader of these forums: Are you interested in this at all?  Do you want to learn more?  Is this a project you'd contribute to?  How would you contribute to it?  Does it have value?
2) Do you have any idea how I might avoid it hitting the bin?   How can we keep this open source from being just another pile on the heap?  How can a community form around it?

And you probably don't like to hear that there is no interest in your engine. (Reply to Question 1).

If I had to look at an engine source, I'd probably prefer something that shipped big games. idTech, Source engine, UE4 etc.
I understand you like your engine, but from our perspective, there are just too many, far better choices, unless you prove us wrong and showcase a reason to look at your engine. And those few that like writing engines, probably prefer to work on their engine, not yours (just like you'd probably wouldn't want to drop yours to work on a random engine).

THEME is the worst

eh, I mean: Start with nothing
