Demonsion

Well, I'm restarting my "portal" project. I havn't actually taken the time to rewrite any code, I've just been working on level design. Here's what I've gotten done so far (not much). I'll update the demo quite often to show the progress of the project (as well as for Beta-testing )...

Demonsion.cd.rar

The controls are a bit different then the standard, but this will be shown later when bones are used. Use the mouse for looking around, WASD for moving/turning, "F" to switch between flying/walking modes...

The input script is still a WIP, but it has "some sort of" joystickupport . Flying's a bit "awkward" without a joystick, but I tried to balance realism and ease-of-use. This is just what I've done the last two days, MUCH, MUCH more to come SOON!

Well, Here's the beginning...
The link above will be updated as well as a link in my signature (comming soon).


WARNING: Lightning Strikes [WIP] Are very bright/quick, and may trigger siezures for those with epilepsy. Careful

Hey xXxGuitar511, The link ain't working for me.

The same here, I get a dimension full of letters
No serious, I'm really curious how it looks already

Cheers

rightclick -> save target as (or however it's called in english "Ziel speichern unter")

Even when I use rightclick -> save target as, it still gives a error. Just like frazzle said, a dimension full of letters.

lol.. whats this man make a new link!!

I downloaded it

cant download a zip.html link
change link to the file plz

Well I was able to download it too, just using right click -> save target as..

Looks interesting but a bit too dark, however I like those lightning strikes, now add a "thunder" sound and maybe a few lightnings which you can see and it will be cool.

I like this atmosphere... a little darky, dusky... I'll be waiting for progresses

Can anyone make a link to a real zip or rar download?
It crashes if i want to save it.

Not for me
RMB - save as... - works fine for me

Sorry, the host doesn't like .rar files... I probably should have mentioned that, but I thought it was just my computer ;D.

I havn't done anything sound-related, because my sound card isn't working (again). I really need to get a new PC...

Things to come soon:
- Use zip format so downloads will be easier
- Reinstall sound card [again]
- Add dynamic lightning strikes (easy)
- Add sound effects (need to find sounds)
- Add level ambience with "faked" 3D sound
- Find a better player model (now that internet is back on)
- Fire sound effects and "flickering" flare
- Continue castle construction....

Thats all I'm planning on for now. I'll complete the above, release another demo, and then work from there.


The level does seem a bit too dark to me as well. However, I kind of want it that way, so I need to work on the propper balance of lighting. I'm trying to use a cool-color for the moonlight (moon comming soon ), and warm-toned lights for all other lighting...

Oke, great to hear you're really into this project Guitar !!
Can't wait until the next demo (with a zip format)

Cheers

Frazzle

why cant you make a zip ? out of it so every one can look into it. If i download i only download the page and on my pc it shows the same letter mumblejumble.

i am curious to see your demo

Rar offers better compression and Winrar is free and opens all other archive formats, so it's not that big of a deal.

http://www.rarlabs.com/

I'll take a look at this later. Portals are nice.

Looking promising and the camera gives it a surreal spooky feel.

Love the movement script but its a bit restrained for my tastes.

i use power archiver which also opens rars. but the download still wont work for me and i am not willing to use winrar so i will await a new demo

Me to.
It wont work make a new download link with a zip file!

Hey xXxGuitar511,

There's a bug of some sort in your project, because the camera always turns towards the ceiling, effectively making it unplayable.

Cheers

@Phemox:
Disconnect any joystick/gamepad device and it will work just an intended.
I had the same problem with my gamepad connected.

Erm, well sorry, but what is this?

These are several, freaky blcoks, nice textures, bad code and no sound. So why are you publishing this?

@checkbutton: I'm just publishing demo's as I go for the hell of it...
@no-sound: Sound card needed to be reinstalled, so now there is some sound
@bad-code: ...ok. just started this after my HD crashed a few days ago, so don't expect a fully working game.

I'll post a zip'd demo before I go to work today. I havn't had a chance to add much, but there are a few things

Alright, here it is... it's pretty [crappy], but I'm in the middle of alot of things... Demonsion.zip (12.2 mb)

You can press p to create a portal, but only the first one in the pair works correctly. The second ones pissin me off...

Only big difference added is sound, [wip] portal, flying slightly modified, and ZIP format...

Hopefully I'll get more finished tonight. I need to add a menu for changing input options, screen settings (add Mercuryus widescreen dll)...

I'm thinking about using Newton physics as well. I'll probably add my Physics Player I made a lil while back.

When its finished what do you think??

now ^^

Than please make a link !!!

Links there, try updating/refreshing the page?

Links?
Do you mean the page with the demonision.cd.rar??
That shows me the old thinks: letters and numbers no download.

For me, FIrefox shows the same thing but when I use I.E7, I get the download.

Much prefered the earlier camera to the new one xXxGuitar.

I think he means this one:

KK, downloading with gigaget.Thanks.

Thanks Xarthor!!

I'm adding my Newton Physics player, but I've run into a big problem...
- The level doesn't load anymore.

If I use the same script on a simple hollowed block, then it runs fine. But on a big castle it freezes at the "newtonAddMap()" line. Therefore loading for 10+ minutes. Thats not going to work , so I've got to mess with it some more, or just scrap it and continue the old one...
