Oh yeah lol, this is for a temporary avatar though; it'll be a reference for adding like tools and stuff in the near future. Would you be open to sending me the model?
Know it's very early but speaking of faces, what are plans for viewing decals of others? Really don't like Blockland's system of needing to download a face pack to see if someone has a special decal.I like how RTB handled add-ons, and I'm thinking of doing the same thing for decals. You'll be able to upload your decals, and when you join someone's server, you'll download all third party add-ons / decals beforehand.
Also, RallyBlock came up with this concept for the avatar. Hopefully this can become the model for now, I really like it.
New model looks a lot better, also happy limbs will be connected.Great, and mainly just behind the scenes stuff lately. I was experimenting with different shader options, mainly to see if there was an easier solution to what I was doing (there isn't so far), and to test rendering / performance. Going to continue working on core functionality today, then should be able to start on new features like dynamic bricks and brick physics. After that, I would like to incorporate a temp avatar and tools / items possibly. I also did modify free camera mode so that you can ascend and descend using the "Q" and "E" keys.
Any game changes done recently that could be shown or is it mostly behind the scenes stuff as of late?
if you bring back bedroom you don't need to do anything else.There will be new maps as well though. Also, the map I have been showing off is just one of the environments you can play in.
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird how much ya'll are focusing on the player model?
Like dam, it's important to the final game's aesthetic, don't get me wrong, but wouldn't asset creation be one of the later steps in game design?
He asked for feedback
If it's just a placeholder model then there's no problem with it
placeholder looks like a 30 min job in blender tbh, it needs a lot more refinement to not look like a bunch of basic cube meshes tacked togetherYeah, this is simply a placeholder; having some kind of player model as a reference would help. Right now he's laying out the base geometry, and then will go back and refine it I'm sure. This will also allow him to get a lot of practice in with modeling.
like even though blockland's is simple it has care put into using circular shapes and smoothshading in certain parts so it doesnt just look like a bunch of rectangles. even if you arent going after blockland awsthetic, it needs the same care.
and please, dont settle for anything less than perfect, since it will likely define the game aesthethic more than anything else. eg if you feel like something could be better, reject the iteration and work on pinpointing and fixing the oddities you feel are present
yes but will there be a body slider where i can blast the muscle slider to 1000%lol, there should be.
I was working on a Blockland-esque project too and was wondering if anyone had a source for this?I'll try to find the source. It may be a good idea to contact Badspot anyway about the various projects being planned / worked on by the community, just to see what he says.
I don't think that would be possible lol.lol, how in the world could someone even script that; you would have to purposely break your own physics system haha. I could probably do sometime like onCollision -> SpawnExplosion
papa gsf, 🅱️lease
we need it
gotta remember that the bigger/more complicated a map is, the more.. empty it feels as players aren't in a single spot, they're spread all over, in various roomsThat's actually a great point that I'll take into account when designing new maps. Maps should be designed for a certain amount of players, like larger maps should be designed for handling more players and gamemodes.
just somethin to consider when making a big map like this
i wonder what does baddy daddy think of this?I don't think he would really mind tbh. He's mentioned before that he doesn't mind if someone makes their own game similar to Blockland, just as long as they didn't use his assets. And the final result will should be distinct enough as to not to cause any problems.
so are we getting loving shaded slopes/bedroom or not misterTerrain and other maps are definitely going to be included.
Yes I think it was GSF who made a full house before, I forgot the name though.Yes, I made the Mike's House map awhile back, which was a recreation of my friend's two-story house in real life.
oh noHaha, that's not what I meant. -_-
he's already removing maps
if you're doing this for shadows, it may make more sense to use a normal map for the brick studs instead
that way it'd be a basic square texture and then the shadow would depend on the lighting
Tbh I'm surprised normal maps aren't already being used here.Normal maps are being used to help represent depth, but are relative to orientation of the main brick textures. So, if a texture is misaligned to the brick grid, the normal maps will be too. I do have an idea how to incorporate this however, which I'll be working on today. =)
I think an interesting name could be a spin off of the German word "Würfel" which translates in English to "Cube". (In reference to Lego's dutch based title)..That's actually a clever idea. =) Maybe it can be something catchy that takes part of the word and constructs a new one.
It's a start.
right?
Now you just pay 100$ to Valve and your game gets put on Steam iircThat would be a welcome change from the voting process they had before; 100$ is not bad.
Kickstarter is probably not a good idea considering how much flak kickstarter games have gotten lately. I'm not saying GSF's is guarenteed to fail, but alot of other "developers" have done stunts which give games who go on kickstarter a bad name.If I do pursue Kickstarter, it won't be until the game is in Beta and there's a demo players can try. I want to make sure the game's release is well within sight before doing crowdfunding.
Greenlight died, that's not an option anymore.
direct seems much easier than greenlight to meOh okay, I'll look into this more when the game gets closer to release; hopefully it's a lot easier to get games on Steam by now.
do you think you can add a gamemode that keeps the original BL stuffty vehicle physicsI don't think that would be possible lol.
