S4D Mini Progress Reports

Posted by Astryl on Sept. 20, 2014, 1:28 p.m.

This blog is for posting small bits and pieces of progress you've made; anything that you feel doesn't warrant an entirely new blog.

And try to comment on other people's work a bit too! Feedback is going to be very useful during the course of this competition!

Let's organize a 64Digits Dark Souls Ravelord/Sunbro party one of these weekends. We can summon/invade the hell out of each other.

I tried playing Demon Souls and Dark Souls but unfortunately I suck at games

I would just kick your butts with my Jesus sword/Heide sword combo.

Or my lucerne, depending on which game we play.

It's pretty sad that this has turned into a Dark Souls discussion instead of progress reports.

Get your butts in gear, guys! Only 31 days remain!

I've been been doing music and animation this last week, but now I'm back with code and I'm working on a particle system, which is always a fun but challenging part of the coding. I'll write a more detailed post when I feel some progress. :)

And I ripped filter straight from another game just to make it a bit more secretive.

Remember to play King's Field 1,2,3 & 4 after you've beaten the DSs. :S

That filter makes it look wonderful. And I like your animations :D

@Steven: Was going to ask everybody to do that when I got back from work. This page crashed the PC I use at work when I wanted to check up on things :P

Crashed… your work PC? O_o

My work PC is a pile of scrap compared to the one I use at home :P

Well, the one I use for ordering/inventory/etc; it runs Ubuntu 12, and has trouble running multiple things at the same time.

I quit Dark Souls 1 after dying to Ornstein and dark spirits right before that fight over 20 times. Then in Dark Souls 2 I jumped up and danced after killing what appeared to be a weaker resurrected Ornstein/relative of his. But I dare not boot up that game during the competition… I'm pretty much only playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 right now because I can think deep thoughts while playing and not be too distracted. It's great for audio books too.

I generated a normal map from the diffuse texture in MindTex, a software available on Steam. There's also a free NVidia plugin you can use with GIMP or Photoshop for doing it.

I mentioned in my first competition blog post that I wanted to have a big vat of wax somewhere in the candle factory which serves as a threat to anything moving. So here's an example of what it might do to a nutcracker's material:
