I moved last year, sent my friend money to send my pc and he still never has. not sure why, everytime I call he says he's going to send it. apparently its just collecting dust in a closet right now.

Its actually quite frustrating. That computer is getting dated by now real bad anyways so I am saving to just build a new one soon anyways, but i really wish I had my old hdd ....

EDIT:


lol, just read that... a week my ass..

Hmm.. sad. But it´s not bad at all. There is still a lot to do and so there is no hurry for models
It's great that you're doing this at all!

Small Preview:

lol, the wall texture in your video looks familiar

Of course it does
It´s from your awesome platform model!

just want to say that the playtest yesterday was really awesome!
fun to play, but the level still needs some tweaking

started plotting out a level for this last night now that I have my new computer. Dont have screens since its still only blocked out for basic overlay, and I'm at work, but hopefully I'll have something to show tonight It's basically a planet with a large "crater" with fragmented rock pieces being held above the players head by a large electric forcefield, the entire level takes place in the crater and when you flip gravity you can jump between rock fragments for platforms. contains lava, fireballs shooting out of it and around the level, and a giant electric net that if you hit you die to keep you from leaving the level bounds.

didnt post pics before, so hopefully this will help redeem me.Its not much, just a basic level plot, The detailed wall is the closest to representing what the art will look like. For most of the level design I plan on using some models with a custom multitexture shader that has surface normalmap support, that way models can be gotten very close to and still look detailed, but from a distance you will also see a model wide normalmap that affects the appearance of the shape of the level pieces. The screens were taken in blender, and no surface multitexture normalmapping is done yet, but diffuse was, and so was the full uv size normal map. the rest of the stuff is all dummy placeholders so I have a look/shape/feel to work off of. I did want to point out that the level looks small both because of the low poly art, and the perspectives available in blender,but I tried to get some screenshots with the camera looking from the distance of the size characters are intended to be. you can get fairly close tothe geometry and still see detail because of the custom shader i'm making.

Woooowww!! OMG!
You´ve done this really for Sky Titans?
Awesome!
Didn´t know you were still working on this!
Thank you man, you´re great!

EDIT: I really love the style and it fits also nicely to my idea!

np

also to get better idea of the up close surface normalmapping i did some tests in blender. now in blender I cant get stencils to keep the surface normals on the proper layer, so what your seeing is 3 blended together, it will look much less noisy when they are on there own channel, but it gives you a good idea of how the textures will look in engine:
