Just kidding, I turned 21 today, it's a strange feeling, in my country people says it's the true adult age, but it might be different elsewhere.

Games / Working on a new Racing Game concept

« on: April 17, 2018, 11:21:32 AM »

If you were following the 3D Models topic lately, I've been posting some car models that follows the same principle
undefined(View in 3D)

Basicly they share the same chassis, but the body can can swapped, it's based on the ChoroQ series of games (Or specifically the game Road Trip Adventure for the Ps2, it's the american version search it up) I'll be posting more info here once I get to it.

Possible features:

- Simple customization, like change the engine, tires, steering and other parts to improve your car.
- Varied selection of tracks to choose from, some of them requires to use specific parts to perform well, for example off-road tracks requires a off-road tire, tracks with a lot of tight turns requires a faster steering and more acceleration, and so on.
- Open world maps, with the addition of shops to buy new car bodies, parts and change the paint.
- Shops like Body Shop, Parts Shop and Paint Shop, very simple and straightforward.
- Since you don't buy separate cars but bodies based on them, the body shop will have a list separating each car body from it's respective country and type, for example the dark blue car on the top there is a Russian Sedan Body, a number will follow it to organize.
Other features will be mentioned once I get around to it.

I plan to use Unreal Engine 4 to make this happen, if you're interested to help in the programming side, feel free to contact me.

General Discussion / If you were in charge of the next Blockland Update topic, what would you add?

« on: April 10, 2018, 02:46:23 PM »

Let's say Badspot give you the opportunity (let's say that you got the programming knowledge to do it too) and you're in charge of the next update, what would it be like? Regardless of the Torque engine limitations.

Mine would be the following:

2018/04/15 - Blockland r1989

- Got the source files of the Blockhead model again, with this the character now has a lot more customization options, from clothing to accessories.
- Added extra soft shadow shader options as default.
- Improvements on vehicle physics, raycasting and efficiency of anything physics related in both single and multiplayer.
- Editor Tool, allowing you to choose a chunk of the build and move it around freely, also giving the whole selection the events you want in one go.
- Stereo support, after a long time fiddling with the possibility, it's now possible to import music files in stereo and high quality.
- Extended the Tutorial Gamemode to add more useful explanations on different aspects of the game.

Games / What would you like to see in a racing game?

« on: March 30, 2018, 02:21:13 PM »

A few years ago, I made a car game prototype on unity, but it didn't quite evolve much from there, this year I want to start fresh from a new project, I wanna start simple of course so I won't overload myself, but I want to see some ideas from you guys.

General Discussion / What was your most nostalgic memories in Blockland?

« on: March 25, 2018, 08:33:35 AM »

I'm sure most of us have very memorable and special moments in this game, myself included, I've been around since 2008 and I get to meet a lot of awesome people and got to do a lot of fun things.

I remember once that me and some friends decided to do a sleepover kind of server in my house build, we pretend that we were hanging out and passing the time, sadly I can't remember who it was but it was me and two other friends, we talked about a lot of things and we saw the daycycle passing by up until morning, it was a fun time.

There was also once on an airport server, some friends gathered around to play together and pretend we were "professional" pilots, all I can say is that disaster happened lol.

And also on my older days of Blockland videos, some of them were really fun to make, I invited some friends over to act as characters in the video, we had to the same shots over and over until we got the best shot, one of the most memorable ones was the Jail RP which had more than 10 players acting in the same server, it was tricky to get everyone in position.

Off Topic / A strange problem took over my computer, please help

« on: February 21, 2018, 04:40:47 PM »

Let me explain what is happening here, I use Windows 7, and I went to services.msc to disable some things that I don`t use to save up time while booting up the system and reducing workload, but for some reason after restarting the computer, I`m now forced to boot up only on safe mode (alteast it has network) but I can`t get access to services.msc neither msconfig.exe, and it says that I`m not an administrator even though I am, I have no idea what I could do to get out of this, I need to figure out a way to get admin rights on so I can run more programs and then somehow be able to get into msconfig or services.msc, if you guys have any suggestions please tell me.

General Discussion / If Blockland receives a new update, what would you like to see in it?

« on: February 16, 2018, 10:15:41 AM »

Let's say Badspot gets a burst of inspiration and decides to update the game again, what would you like to see being done? From new content, to bugfixes and more.

Yes I'm aware this kind of topic had been done before but I haven't seen one in a while.

Games / I'm in a Game Designer class - Platformer Prototype Video (Pg.3)

« on: February 12, 2018, 07:47:30 AM »

There is this game designer course that I was planning to get into for a while now, but I finally managed to join in this year, it started this month and it will take two years to complete, I'll be learning a lot of different tools and programs and how to manage games and a studio financially wise among other important things, I believe this will be an important step for me and I'm really happy about this decision, I was wondering if any of you did something similar or managed to learn a lot of new tools by yourself and how was your experience with all of this.
