sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ 3D Realms’ Hexen-Inspired GRAVEN Enters Early Access Today

If only it felt like it had character. Based on the reviews, EA is just a slightly improved version of the demo freely available. And they said it pretty much lacks any sort of idea of the game showing any creativity or personality.

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ Why there should be more "Asset Flips"

This isn't asset flip. This is more 'properly using assets that are either freely available or purchase'.

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ PROSPECTIVE NAME CHANGE - it is up to you.

The name G-String always made me think of well, a g string. The game looked so good and it felt weird to have such a commonly used term by the populace as a title. Felt...cheap. I know people "got use to it", but it doesn't change the fact that it WILL be perceived differently by other people. Its not what the developer wants. But more how they want people to see their product. Next game should be D-Nutz. A cyberpunk dystopia where Digital Nuts populated the cities of the world, with a weird side effect...turning people insane. :P

Sometimes you gotta change things for the sake of "unrealistic design decisions that seemed appropriate at the time because it looked cool"

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ The Phantom of the Opera (WIP adventure for GZDoom) Development showcase #3

Love the idea. I've been wanting to tackle a proper Phantom interactive experience myself, but I haven't ironed out exactly how i'd do it. Someday I want to incorporate the musical aspect, but that'd be even more difficult.

From your project, the first thing I thought of was Realms of the Haunting. If you can mix up the action aspect with puzzle solving and adventure elements, then you'd have a pretty awesome product.

Keep up the good work! :D

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ Progress Update #1

It'll only really work if the combine and civs are REMADE to the look and feel of a classic GoldSrc game. Right now....its looks like Source on Low...still cool but for those of us that LOVE the lok and feel of the goldsrc engine, it'd be cool to see even more Demaking going on. :)

Did you know a lot of games near completion and never get released? Yeah, there is a difference between being full of it and sh*t hitting the fan and effing over the project.

Absolutely, though newer ones are better mainly because most of them are MUCH easier to clean.

Dust cloud moreso than Explosion. Explosion would be a lil too drastic. Cool nonetheless. :D

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ 3 years and counting

There is no reason for it to be sad for the project to leave Source to another engine. Source was made in a time where the only valid free alternative was Unity *shutters*. Now developers have access to such a free alternative that is bleeding edge and AAA quality. Even Unity can't offer that without buying a **** load of assets and plugins just to match quality, let alone the horrendous material system. Dragonlord's forlorn warning is just something that happens to projects with poorly managed from the beginning. Meaning if you're in-capable of restraint, it doesn't matter what engine you use, you're going to mess up.

So, very glad you're making the transition to UE4. Especially now that 4.13 was just released today. Best of luck!

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ Big Publishers and a Small Mod

The thing is, you can be inspired by something and not mention what inspired it. People fail to understand that is not stealing. Every work in existence in the modern age is inspired by something without needing to specify what inspired you. I loved this mod, but I'm not so shallow to think such a thing is plagiarism or theft. It just shows how big the blinders are on people who just want to get angry over something. Then people bitch when they get a cease and desist from the company of the IP. All I see are people flocking to someone who is accessible to them. When it's a big company, they act like they are some big monster.

Nothing but hypocrisy.

"OMG VR IS DEAD. NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY. KILL IT WITH FIRE. DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" - Every Youtube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit comment on the internet.

Can't wait for VR to become the norm so I can stop here people like that whine over and over about the price.

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ HL:R Post-Mortem

A post-mortem is generally written post-release, documenting the pros and cons of production, what could of been done better and without, on top of what was done right. Dissappointed to see nothing of the sort. Then again, this isn't Gamasutra. lol

sbnewsom - - 656 comments @ How long have you been modding?

You don't have to learn to mod anymore. You just have to learn how to make games, which in turn help you mod games. People want to create original content now, leading into making games they can sell and not mods that require the ownership of a game. Different kind of world now. I don't mind it.

They were also made before mods changed the core code of the game so they these were a lot more compatible than you would think.

So my question is, how does the explosion end? You have the transition between the start and end but how does it transition between end to nothingness?
