Works fine for me. I get 200fps the first time I play, then about 30fps with major frame-drop on the second, and 11fps on the third. I'm guessing that's the threaded socket problem. Looks really nice, though; the menu is super-slick, and the movement of the cockpit's really convincing. I'm guessing it's not intentional that if you hold down Space, you shoot into the stratosphere?
In this case it's because I don't unload the level currently, so you have to quit the game to load another level without slow down. The space thing is just in there for debug right now, I didn't realize everyone will be pressing it  |

Yeah, this is an older build without bots or combat, just to see if it runs for people. I'll post the new one tonight or tomorrow

waits, I comprehends.
I was thinking actual shooting on the first superficial read, but I realized Synnah might have meant jumping or so. That didn't happen either tho.

It works good here. I like the way you 'walk' in the air, and the thump and shake still happen, funny,. it looks soooo clean and slick! looking forward to a playable version!!! and to see some robot designs!  |

Finally fixed that annoying lag issue. It seems to be some kind of problem with SDL threads. I had to make my sockets non-threaded. Oh well, at least it runs smooth as butter now.

I gave it a try on my Vista (8400M GS or some such) laptop, and it looks great but runs quite slowly - I'm guessing this is the issue you've since fixed?
The palette and simplicity appeal and bring back happy memories of Midwinter. I think the hands-down winning feature at the moment is the head bob for the cockpit - is it driven by the robot animation, or just a separate effect? However you did it I really like the weighty feel - I've played commercial robot games that don't capture this as successfully.

The atmosphere reminds me of oldschool mechwarrior! Which instantly makes this project fairly l33t.  Plays on my computer just fine (Radeon 3850 HD). Bonus points for using Blender as a map editor, hahah. Respect++ toastie. Keep up the flow of game development goodness, man! [edit] !CE-9, my guns wouldn't fire either.  |

Just to clear up what Synnah was saying, he meant that if you hold space for a certain amount of time (I'm going on my experience) you pretty much fly up from the landscape to the point where you can't even see the land down below anymore. Anyway, the visuals are certainly pleasing so far Toastie, and I can't wait to try out a more steady version! Keep up the good work.  |

Er, yes, sorry! I should have used less ambiguous wording.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Well, I wouldn't call it finished, but I got some stuff done. Trying to get it all compiled for windows now.

 Holy shit this was some fucking marathon coding. I can barely sit up straight. I got everything in that I  wanted to for the first build I think. Network play is not in yet, but the local game is fully networked locally, so I should be able to add it in the next couple of days. http://www.ivansafrin.com/games/Landfall.0.5a.zipI am going to sleep and sleeping for a long long time.

An unhandled win32 exception occurred in Landfall.exe [3212]
Apparently it is a buffer saturation of some sort.

Good work, Ivan! Get some sleep and take care of the remaining issues when you're up to it. |

I still get the same errors as last time. I guess my computer just isn't tricked out enough or something.
