Wow I almost forgot how loving stupid a majority of people here are"boo hoo the majority is right and i'm too desperate to not admit what a cigarette i am to accept it"
I'm signing up.godspeed, don't lose yourself to the void
we're ignoring because its an awful pointJetlok. that's in his signature.must have been mistaken you for someone else?i don't think i ever called bronies gay, though even then that's your own fault for being so stupid and interpreting things in such a literal manner when it's a well and known fact that gay is just a general catch-all insult for "huge loser"
anyways you've been saying all bronies are gay so you really hate the fact gay people exist? thats a bit unfair dontcha think
unbelievable jackass ever since you have started posting again.guys rememberum, "again...?"
Taboo, stop being a richard, Furling is trying to do something nice for us and your giving all negatives instead of looking for and opportunity this idea has.what opportunity
Oh come on, taboo, you look at anime girls all day. I could call that pathetic but that doesn't automatically make me right....false? how do people make stuff up like this
The problem here is that you guys don't understand what a game engine provides for you. There is no game engine that will be super fast at rendering 100,000+ discrete objects out of the box. You cannot simply fire up source or crysis, stack up a million boxes and go to town (those crysis videos that are all over youtube are pre-rendered). If you want to do something unusual like that, you're going to have to write your own renderer and you're going to have to cut corners on the simulation. There is no general purpose "have a million of everything" engine.
Cutting edge engines like crysis, source, unreal 3, and id tech 5 cost upwards of a million dollars (still way cheaper than developing your own engine) and even if you have the money (I don't) they won't license to everyone because they only want to associate and give tech support to AAA titles that have a reasonable chance of success. Second tier engines like Unreal 2 or doom III cost in the $250,000 range (I don't have that much money either).
I need an engine that is priced and designed to be used by a single person or small team. Here are the possiblities: Torque, TGEA, Ogre, Blitz, flash/shockwave, crystal space, C4, unity, Sauerbraten/Cube 2, Quake III GPL, DIY. (Sauerbraten, TGEA, and unity did not exist at the time I started Blockland)
Of those, Sauerbraten is the only one that could possibly provide a graphical advantage out of the box because of it's unique rendering paradigm. BUT. There are glitches in the rendering system that look quite difficult to solve and may be systemic. There is no scripting system. The networking sucks and would have to be replaced completely with something like TNL. I've talked about it with kompressor and we concluded that it would be easier to port the sauerbraten rendering over to torque.
I picked torque because it's the only one with a good scripting integration and robust networking that works well with low bandwidth. It also runs well on low end hardware and can be ported to the mac, appealing to the widest audience possible.
The most important thing about making a game is having it work. Jumping around from one engine to another chasing after the latest features is a sure fire way to fail (are you reading this George Broussard?).
you seem to be completely missing the point, the fact that this fandom exists is incredibly pathetic, this is just one of many cherries on the cake
oh god. I'm scared for this fandom. What is happening to it?"happening"
why do people like this show?because seriously, i was able to withstand about 2 minutes before giving up, it has that same awful vibe as every disney/nickelodeon live show in past decade, reeking of awful
