All the screenshots look good except for the generator room, I think that you should make it bigger and add more generators.

come see night shift at http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=106003&b=25 see you there

I see. Now, what type of an old building is it? A warehouse, a power plant generating power, or just an old abondened multi-purpouse building?

I'm asking these questions so that I can provide suggestions to make your game better

That wouldn't really have a generator, it'd tap into the National Grid, it may h ave some transformers but no generators...or at least that's how it'd be iin Britain.....

Agreed with CG.

Also, then there will need to be many more boxes, storage shelfs, a few pitchforks, and pallets.

And where will level two take place?

It's a modernday game, so it has to make sense, scifi or fantasy, then whatever, but modernday games have to resemble reality...

Far Cry 2 is a game, but the Devs went to Africa for a month to study it so they could bring the most realistic and lifelike game to date.

Now, AI doesn't have to go to some foreign country, but it would be nice if his levels made sense.

The room will be changed to a locker-room of sorts, some place where workers can store their stuff (and maybe snuggle in an assault rifle).

Thanks, PoK.

Bringing up my post, a.k.a 'bump'.

Automatic is coming along very well. I'm about 35% in the first level and I have a screen of the used-to-be-generator-room-but-is-now-a-sort-of-locker-room for the enemies to keep their belongings (grenades, machine guns, ammo) in. I need assistance from any Croats on this board who can help me pronounce some Croatian words and phrases (Ja ću vas ubiti - I will kill you, for example).

Enough blabber, here's the pic.

I don't like the colours of the segment. I think the floor/roof should be coloured differently from the walls. Right now the segment makes the room look a little bland.

It looks alright. Maybe a wall entity such as a caution sign on the empty walls space behind the railing, but it's not necesarry. I don't want you going too overboard with entities.

If I was to make a caution sign, I'd have to have eother just a picture or below it (in Croatian) "Caution".

@ noobgamer: Thanks yet again! You will definetly be one of those (among the entire TGC community) whom I will place in the credits.

A question: if I was to place a copyright on this game, would I have to pay money? Also, if an unknown person breaks said copyright, would I have to pay to sue them and go to court somehow? What would be done about that?

Jenkins, what is your problem with me? If you want to keep bashing me for no good reason, then just leave. I'm suprised you haven't been noob-slapped yet. You and your smart comments, stay away from me. Far away. You don't want me to report you, don't ya? Next time you do this, I will.

I've had enough. Leave me well enough alone.

The assault has been successfully rebuffed by the AI unit, we wait to see the what the jenkins unit will do in response. Will he back off? Make a counter attack? Maybe he'll do a sneak attack with emails or another account. We wait to see what will happen.

The score is 1 to 1!

As for the new screen, what's with that light on the ceiling!? Other than that it looks good.

He doesn't seem like someone who would do that.

I was just trying to be funny, and all I think wants to do is remind you of how many games you've dropped.

AI, I haven't commented on this yet, but since it seems that you are actually getting somewhere, I will. The new screen looks really nice but you should have something to fill the empty wall. Maybe some pipes or a window, good luck!

People pay lots of money for copyright. So no, you can't place copyright on your game.

The cieling light doesn't look right. Mainly because you have already used it on the wall.

Yeh. There's a hanging light from model pack three that'd look good there.....

Perhaps put a cardboard box or two on the gantry, tucked out of the way though...

I'll replace the light with the hanging light.

A box = nice idea. I'll do that.

I'm fine with no copyright; if they steal my game, they're screwed (e-mail warnings FTW).

EDIT: Would anyone like to make a small, simple, *cough*free*cough model for me? I need a scratched, slighty rusted sign that says "Caution" in Croatian (which, translated into said language, is "Oprez"). Just attach it or e-mail it to me as a .zip (which ever suits you fine), but all I have to pay you is a spot in the credits.

Apologies for double post.

Here's the finished small conveyor room. I'm think of placing the foreman's office up on the catwalk level. Wait for more screens. After the foreman's office (where you meet your first enemy who has a Glock in the real demo), I have to add a hall, employee rest area, restrooms, rendezvous area, and a few sound zones, and the environmental demo will be released.



Any questions about what an environmental demo is, are answered below.

1) What is it?
A: As the answer implies, it shows only the environment of a level, no enemies or objectives. Used as "interactive" screens, if you will.

2) What are they for?
For my uses, they're for light/level geometry testing, bug findings, and suggestions as to where this goes, what needs fixed, etc.

3) Do big-name games use them?
I really don't know, but I can imagine some form of it is used.

Please read/rate, and leave a comment (or for complaints, Jenkins stay out ).

Lol, no counter attack, just laughter. Nor will I be sneaky. I don't hate the guy. I hate his stupid threads. Please by all means go ahead and say "just ignore the thread." It's hard to ignore a thread that gets so many posts it NEVER leaves the top. I don't understand why it gets so many posts because every thread is the exact same. He gives us 4 screens. Then no screens for a while, then something goes wrong so he has to start all over. After he starts all over he shows us 3 more screens. Then a lot of just mindless posts from people that actually buy into his crap. Then he says he's done with the game because he has a better idea. Something along the lines of that.

I don't see how he gets a point though lol. All he said were threats of reporting me, which is funny because he has nothing to report me for. Unless I can get noob-slapped for pointing out the fact that every thread he makes is a waste of time and forum space (because they are, it's officially official.) If that's against the rules then by all means slap me with a mighty MOD palm.

<announcervoice suspense=10>

Jenkins has revealed his plan! He will probably continue to post like this!

I'm giving that post 2 points to jenkins.

the score is 3 to 1 (jenkins)

We wait to see what AI's response is, in the mean time we've learned that AI's plans are apparently
Quote: "crap"


What does he have to say about that?

AI vs Jenkins will continue after these messages.

Anyway, new screens look ok so far!

Jenkins, if this forum had no swear filter, I can see this going somewhere.

I have had absolutely enough of your flaming, it's not even funny. Don't just come in here & start throwing your BS into my face. If I do release a demo, be prepared to apologize at least 5 times. You cannot just come in here and leave crap like this instead of providing actual constructive critiscm. It's idiots like you who repel me from game dev, believe it or not. I'm sick of you and your anti-AI rants, and it's time to stop them.

Quote: "be prepared to apologize at least 5 times. You cannot just come in here and leave crap like this"

Another point!

Quote: "I'm sick of you and your anti-AI rants, and it's time to stop them.
"

Another!

AI is in the lead now! 4 to 3!

If you do release a demo though, that'll be worth probably another 5 or so, and if you get him to apologize, probably 2 for each apology, so you have a chance to really keep your lead here.

Meanwhile jenkins will have to bring in some heavy stuff to win this.
