Spelunky you bastard, also game updates, and renders

Posted by UnionJack on Feb. 16, 2013, 1:28 a.m.

tl;dr version:

-I play too much Spelunky

-I made an airplane

-I made marbles

-Site suggestions (in light of hearing that site updates have been coming… I may be a little late to the game):

To solve post preview, and saved posts, have a privacy setting for "Only Me." I accidentally clicked close tab on my post and lost an almost done post. >:(.

Back to our regular programming, the following is a reconstruction of a lost post from memory. Some statements may or may not be garbled beyond recognition:

Spelunky you bastard. I will end you. I'm sad to admit that I have logged probably over 2000 plays of this game. Some incredibly liquored, some slightly less than incredibly liquored, and some only mildly liquored. I have 4 wins. 2 of which unlocked the sun room and moon room. But I'm after the stars room, dammit. The shopkeeper and I have some unfinished business.

Game updates:

I'm working on a rendition of a Sukhoi Pak Fa. One of the main bogeys in my game (open image in new tab for higher res):

It's going to be in the near future, at the end of the lives of this and a couple other aircraft. I'd like it to be a science I-can't-believe-it's-fiction story. But we'll see at the end of this project.

Crashing (into the ground, not into the blue screen of death) also now happens, and I had to re-adapt the shooting to its own script. I've got terrain generation on my mind (wish me luck :/ ), and a couple other enemies to work on while I ponder.

Renders:

I did this (open image in new tab for higher res):

This was my first time playing with renderfarming. I sent it off to a site still in beta-testing. Took them about 45 minutes at 3200*2400 pixels, 500 samples. Cost me about 2.00$ (on their beta-testing credit).

All for now, more to come soon.

Cheers

I agree on that we need some way to draft blogs.

What are the bright spots in the marbles? Specular reflections of some sort? (It's been a long time since I played around with YafRay.)

A draft system would be pretty rad, yeah.

I just added a column for draft blogs in the new database. I'll make sure it gets in.

Bendodge - It's the reflection of the overhead light. Also, it's rendered in Cycles :P.

ChIkEn - Right on! Thanks.

That Jet-plane will be mighty sexy once It is fully textured.

You can pay people to compute stuff for you? That cray.

Visor - I'll be keeping 64D posted

Toast - Yeah it's great. You can have a totally crap computer and send it off to somebody with a bunch of good computers, and they can take care of it for you!

Cyrus - It was your post, followed by me losing a post that inspired me to post about it :)
