XDFort - Page 7

trepid_jon · 07-01-2008, 10:11 PM

I haven't really been taking this as a way to promote XDFort, but more just to to show the work being done on it.

Whether the feedback is generally negative like in here or not, getting feedback from a TF community makes sense when you're working on a TF game.

Granted, it'd probably be better to move this to the Other Games forum, cause even though there's this...

This thread still seems rather out of place, to be honest.

Oh, and see Vampire masureade- Blood lines. That game popular? No. Was it good? No. it was shit

It's awfully easy to criticize. I thought it was amazing considering it was a relatively small producer and as people have said, Source isn't a walk in the park. Plus they exceeded Valve technically in areas, doing things like cloth and hair animation, which wasn't present in HL2. The writing for the Malkavian dialogue alone was gold. It was a long game with lots of replayability with multiple approaches and many decisions with consequences. In any event, it had far more depth than HL2, even if HL2 was more polished. I think it could have used some more immersion, but to simply call it shit is very obtuse.

Anyway sorry to hijack the thread, I won't bring it up again, that comment just struck a nerve.

Wow, I aprecciate the clothing in last picture.

richard nixon · 07-02-2008, 04:40 PM

man Circuitous is the biggest asshole I have ever come across.

You don't have to be so rude with your honesty. You remind me of a guy I had in my art class who would remark on everybody's work as "shit" and that they did it "wrong". Everyone hated him and he had no friends and never got laid.

edit: Quite a laugh to see that Ginger Lord is saying you're presenting your work wrong when I haven't seen more than 10 people playing Fortress Forever at any specific time in the last 2 weeks.

I wouldn't say it's garbage, but it's definitely half-baked. I'm not sure there's been an SDK update where Valve didn't introduce problems or completely break some features. For every great thing that Valve adds for the end-user, they do something else that appears they just don't give a shit about the people using it.

The main appeal that Source has had for me is that is seems to have more animation options built into it than any other engine I've seen. While I know this means fuckall to FF devs, not having to use serious modelling software to create animated scenes is a big plus for me personally.

What's my prize?

The way I see it, I've got two basic options: tell someone what I think, or lie.

I'm not a big fan of lying.

richard nixon · 07-03-2008, 01:03 AM

In no way did I mean you should lie and say you like it when you think it sucks.

What I meant was that there's less negative douche bag ways to express your opinion. Saying things like "That's terrible" when a nicer option would be "it needs some improvement".

If it was my work being called "terrible" I would have reacted like leilei did. If you would have said "it needs improvement" that is a whole different story. I'm just saying there's no need to be rude.

Just like I said about the guy in my art class. Let's see you get a job in something related to art, or even print, and use the same terms you used regarding leilei's work. I'm sure there would be many people telling you to go fuck yourself and learn how to properly critique people's work instead of taking the cheap way out and describing it with one highly negative word.

Circuitous · 07-03-2008, 01:33 AM

If you want critique on a flame effect, you don't shoot it out of a woman's crotch. Because that's retarded.

It's not even a bad flame effect! I thought the flame was good, and I said so. But the fucking stupid display was... well, fucking stupid.

Jester · 07-03-2008, 01:39 AM

leilei · 12-09-2008, 04:11 PM

nothing much happened since (OA is still on focus) but I did screw around and experiment with coding my own vehicles

which of course would not be default gameplay but heh. The vehicle is roughly 256 units big, and the map here is way too frigging huge

Skanky Butterpuss · 12-09-2008, 08:07 PM
