big scary monsters posted:yeah having watched echi develop his game from nothing it did occur to me that maybe getting ue4 was an easier way but i have faith that ultimately my toil will pay off to ad to what i said like, i can definitely see some games not being suited to someting like ue4. it makes big installs for even simple games and its easy to be overkill for someone like me though it lets me focus on making the fun parts of the game. like being handed an electric guitar plugged into a triple rectifier, as opposed to getting a piece of wood, wrapping your own coils and building your own amplifier. obviously there are reasons why different people are attracated to different scenarios other people might prefer cryengine, which possibly has a better overall 3d engine (at least as far as ability goes, no idea about scalabil;ity etc) but is significantly less fleshed out as far as letting you just make game visual coding might overall be slower and less efficient but its the headstart it gives you on whatever you do that makes it so fast for me.  i have no idea how slow/fast it would be to code the poo poo i do

i'm making more of a screensaver than a game and it's basically 2d/2.5d really although i think 3d will be useful for lighting effects. i'm doing some cartography nerd stuff, eduard imhof and the swisstopo maps are the look i'm going for     digital relief shading is not exactly new ground but imo most of the current implementations suck and i want to do my own thing with it

the first two are drawings by eduard imhof, the last one is part of a 1:50000 hand drawn Swiss map from 1946. the other two are 1:25000 scale from 2003, probably a combination of professional gis software and then lots of tweaking by hand i don't realistically expect to get anywhere near that quality but it's something to aim for

im trying to make a test dungeon to test what kind of movement etc works. one problem is that walls etc are in the way of the camera, so i need a system to hide them at the appropriate times

lol. yeah no doubt there'd be a big market for it in germany, they love hiking and boring sim games so if there were enough realism with elaborate pack weight planning and so on it'd probably be a hit at the moment though i've only got as far as procedural heightmap generation and gis data access/formatting (in case you want to use real world terrain) so all the hard parts are still to come

Doc Block posted:echi, make it so you can do rolls and flips in your new game  it naturally rolls and flips* because its not a well designed vehicle with a low centre of gravity or anything (and is front heavy) but in the game, you "die" if you can right yourself this new game is going to be VERY simple. to play at least. something my kids can play and be ok at * controlling the camera to not do 180s when this happens is easier said than done! LOL wanna play hiking preperation simulator.
