Games / Crea -- An evolution of Terriara and Minecraft

« on: July 20, 2012, 08:33:28 PM »

Crea

Here, have a free moment to catch your breath; this image is a lot to take in.

This is a new and interesting game based on games like Terraria and Minecraft, but aiming to build upon them and evolve the genre to it's maximum potential. The game is heavily moddable, with all the game's content written in Python; therefore anyone of you champs who know a bit of Python will be able to make mods for it.

They made a kickstarter, and if they get funded they'll be pushing this game out in no time! The goal is not really set that high for a commercial game, so no contribution is too small. Thank you for your time.

You guys are weird. Shadeless black character and an undefined matte white character is beautiful.

I'm not saying it's not beautiful, I'm saying that it looks a bit unnatural.

Telling me to use Anivia instead of brand is like telling me to throw hammers instead of knives at people (not like Katarina, just metaphorically).

It's a stylistic choice and I think it looks great.

I would much prefer them not casting shadows at all, or having some textures applied to them. Just the ability to have some parts more shaded than others would look better, in my opinion. But then again, I'm not the 3D modeler/texturer, and I don't write the shaders.

Dont buy brand hes not viable because of his ultimate

How come? It's great in team fights. Is the scaling bad or? A bit of motivation would help.

yep.

though i've gotten used to it.

It's really only synctactic sugar, so it shouldn't matter.

so is/does lua and python lol

though lua lacks assignment operators (+=, -=, ++, etc.)

though there's a library you can use to get them :D

So that instead of writing x++ or x += 1, you have to write x = x + 1?

You didn't read the Tumblr and that black character is a stalker.

I did, but it was like a week or two ago. I was sent the link by one of my friends. Moreover, the fact that the stalker obstructs the path of light but isn't lit up itself looks very wierd.

Why exactly did you choose to use Unity for the game? Also, the second pic looks a bit odd as the character obstructs the path of light and casts a shadow, but is completely dark himself. Placeholder, I assume?

I started playing it sometime around February, I'm currently at level 24.

This Jayce guy seems cool, but he looks like he requires as much discipline as Draven, which isn't little. The fact that he has two different skillsets makes him unpredictable and dangerous, but also so much harder to combo correctly.

Right now I dont know if I should buy Brand or Jayce. I have played Brand when he was F2P but nothing really serious. Jayce I've never played at all, since he's so new.

Rob Swigart's Portal from 1986 Reborn!

What is RS's Portal?

Rob Swigarts Portal, do not confuse with the Portal published by VALVe is according to wikipedia:
"Portal is a mix between a computer novel and an interactive game. It was published in 1986 by Activision for the Amiga. It was written by Rob Swigart, produced by Brad Fregger and programmed by Nexa Corporation. Additionally, versions for the Macintosh, Commodore 64, Apple II and IBM PC were released. It was a unique game for it's time, a text-driven adventure but with a GUI."

A summary of the book that was released in addition to the video game is here.
"Portal is the story of an astronaut who returns to earth from a mysteriously aborted mission prematurely awakened from suspended animation. One hundred years have passed, animals and plants thrive, cities stand intact. Every human being, however, has disappeared. With the help of  a slowly reviving computer network, the astronaut begins to piece together the events of the last century. He learns of the child prodigy Peter Devore, of a world orchestrated by stunning new technologies, and of Peter's race against time to unlock the secrets of the Portal."

Summary

I personally will be donating to the Kickstarter of this probably awesome game and I hope that you will all do to, because I really think that this is going to be a great game and I really want it to become real. Besides, who could say no to that smile?

PS. I'm not being paid for this.
