Popisfizzy if you don't mind, I would love to have a look at what you've been working on. https://sites.google.com/site/theheartlanddb/ | |
I'm impressed by the level of depth you went into by your lonesome. I started out wanting to be the greatest high fantasy fiction writer when I was 16, but quickly realized that reality building required for that was past my level of passion, but eventually I found my niche.
Found that I was more interested in discussing the societal issues and writing action scenes than creating languages and histories. How's the Heartland Civil War coming along? Gonna find sometime to read The Beggar and the Hooded Man this week. | |

I'm not sure if I could pull that all off properly, all the animations for this creature are done via transforms and I don't have an amazing grasp on how to get them to flow together without going haywire so I'm trying to keep it relatively simple for now. Perhaps on another creature though. Also: It makes me very happy that you recognized those lines as being slits in its body. I wasn't sure if that would come across properly as I'd never really attempted to draw something like that before. =) In other news, I'm working on another enemy type:  Can anyone guess what they look like in the light? | |
Nope!
 Also, I figured it'd be neat if lighter enemies like these little buggers could be handled easily with the tether beam. It like the feel of catching them mid-air. | |
I swear if you give up on this one, I will find you, and I will cut you.

It's been a bit slow on updates here, I see.
Right now I'm working on an implementation of the ChaCha20 encryption algorithm, of which I'm mostly done. Tonight I got it working on the test vectors from the the IETF's RFC:

Obviously super impressive when you don't actually have the algorithm to decrypt them with you, huh? The library should be ready to publish sometime this week, so y'all can test it yourself and see that I'm not bullshitting you. | |
That's pretty awesome, Pop. Glad to see other crypto libs added.

 Mounts in Feed are officially completed and implemented at long last. Mounts can be found as random event spawns around the map as you play. You may mount them by interacting with them and interact while mounted to dismount. Note that you cannot pickup or interact with stuff while mounted and your mount *can* be stolen by other players if you're not paying attention! Mounts negate all weapon weight from your movement speed and often provide a faster movement speed than alternative methods. October is nearly here and that means Feed season is upon us and i'm excited to share all the really neat changes that have been made! | |
@Konlet: not a bad idea. ;p I think it'd be a Ratt, though. ;p
Added new mounts, mounts soon to make you immune to certain ground hazards, such as fire. New mechanisms: switches! you can see a switch being used to open a stone door in the gif below:    it's almost October. . *hooba hooba* | |
Haven't posted in a while, but here's some of the progress since last time:
https://streamable.com/qkcmm Working with an artist on new graphics for the player character (prelim work shown). Updated the flamethrower to be more efficient and look a bit better, reduced its range a bit. Changed default lighting scheme, base darkness now has a slight blue tinge to it, which is easier on the eyes. Internally: Reworked a bunch of stuff, like how lighting masks are applied. I also just today discovered that I can do some niftier stuff with lighting masks, so I'll be using that in the future for some more interesting effects hopefully. | |
Thanks for the response back as well.
Where do I start?
I think I wasn't clear enough describing my story's reality the first time. My story's reality is completely based off of contemporary reality with some Gal Civ and Mass Effect 3 tech, magical creatures, and a magic system, thrown in.
It required about the same level of reality building as Harry Potter, which essentially is just the real world with magic and magical creatures.
The industry I'm aiming to work in is action fantasy comic/mangas and anime. I don't consider myself in the same genre as Mass Effect,LOTR, or TES. I'm pioneering a new genre in comics.
Previously mentioned intellectual properties are indirect competition.
IPs like Naruto and Dragonball are more direct competitors, but I actually do not have a direct competitor as of yet, in the same way that Superman didn't have a direct competitor when he came on the scene.
My only obstacle is getting people to believe that crime fantasy has the ability to generate profit.
I haven't had anyone say that my ideas don't have the ability to generate profit, and I've only had one person say that it has the ability to generate a ton of profit.
So I guess my work's cut out for me.
Your criticisms on my writing is valid, but my writing style does come from me writing with a future comic and movie in mind. I'm basically writing like I'm describing what happens to a animator to put on the screen.The things wrong with the way I write that you've brought up won't show in a comic because only dialogue will remain.
My novelette is simply a showcase of ideas for a comic, ideas that I believe have potential for profit because lesser manga/comic/anime ideas have made substantial profit.
You said a game based off of Finale is too simplistic for my goals. I wholly agree. The game is for attention, nothing more, nothing less, and the game will garner attention unless people would rather make fan fiction that will never make profit for Dragonball Z or Naruto fan games. This I will come to know in the coming few days.
Popisfizzy, thanks for actually looking at my stuff!
I'm still working on the Wiki so alot of the sparseness will be dealt with in the next few days.
I had no idea that the stuff I took off of Wikipedia needed citing. Thanks for letting me know that!
Popisfizzy if you don't mind, I would love to have a look at what you've been working on.
If anyone has any questions, just hit me on my pager, or previously mentioned email.
