Re: New game: Top down city!

An objective radar would be nice, one that shows only the target area on radar and specifies target. Distance on arrows sounds like good idea too, i might have multiple, various options availible on how to hande this, but i dont think a road sign system would work good, it could fail depending on r...

Re: New game: Top down city!

I think i'll go at a more classical radar approach first, see how that works.

Got good news: i've managed to add your tank tracks idea, i also improved skidmarks quite by a lot, and am now succesfully testing scripting, i've updated the binary, but i'm working on new stuff already.

Re: New game: Top down city!

Thanks for the good suggestions: I like the tank tracks idea, that is doable, and i'll put that on to-do list. I'm adding surface materials support because of audio sounding different based on what you are walking on, and it obviously fits with skidmark effect / colors, and can be extended to produc...

Re: New game: Top down city!

Regarding the TDC Map Editor, it would be nice to have such a function. Scaling of material tiles (I wrote about it to you on YouTube): i finally understand you with pictures now, i'll add this and it will be an option in map editor. As for website, one is planned, but so far as it's only for you g...

Initial alpha is released:

Give it a try, and tell me what you think.

For internet play it's a bit complicated, but instructions are in the readme.

Re: Geneshift

It looks good. This is how a game can look like when you get some artists on board, i am yet to get to come to such amout of detail in top down city. Some critics and comparison to top down city, i know i'm hijacking thread but i want to hear your input on my observations too: I can see they went fo...

Re: New game: Top down city!

Progress was good in past few weeks, i've added automatic damage modelling / deformations for vehicle collisions, fixed a dozen behaviors / internal problems in stuff like static map objects. I've also upgraded tools, and finally made the vehicle sprite editor not crash randomly, making it pretty st...

Re: New game: Top down city!

Thanks for the invite to help. I won't be able to do anything for this project. Full time work, community things, cycling club, volunteering with their website, plus it is Summer and it's nice to be outside. Project looks good. All the best with it.

Re: New game: Top down city!

Based on current cpu usage and bandwitdh tests it should be able to support easily minimum 100 players (+ some sensible amout of random traffic & pedesterians per player) - traffic is synced from server.

Re: New game: Top down city!

> Explosion looks good tho? Look at how a similar explosion (with a ring) is made in GTA 2. In your explosion, the ring too soon disappears but it should expand. You also need to add more randomness to the flash. And mabe more add transparency > How should trace on all weapons would look? unless it...

Re: New game: Top down city!

Progress is good. But the lack of a rocket of the bazooka (also need other bullets) and something must be done with the particles now looks like a bust of sloths flashes. You mean lack of fire that would follow the bazooka rocket? I'll make a video covering the weapons as they are currently in the ...

Re: New game: Top down city!

that sounds cool. i hope i have a computer capable or running any games again by then. What happened to computer? This game should run fine on ancient computers btw, it's not very graphically intensive and scales effects down well more or less, shaders are only used in a small way, and last time i ...
