    The Opokonverob project : call to arms

    Farmerk : to be honest I did follow your progress with your engine, as I'm following most similar projects that were announced on NMA, and it's always a been a pleasure to see other motivated programmers do their stuff I think the best service you could do us would be to play around and hack...

    The Opokonverob project : call to arms

    I get it and I understand what you fear. I'm not a fan of multiplayer myself apart from strategy games. But it will be nothing like the common multiplayer RPG experience. The systems we are working on are meant to be interesting in a single player environment, as we are going for a...

    The Opokonverob project : call to arms

    I'm making a little announcement to the NMA community, because you're all a lovable gathering of hard-ass role playing game amateurs, and we are in need of people just like you, right now. We're searching for contributors to actually make a game. Not a mod, but a standalone game. So what is...

    Multiplayer:Killing us slowly or best thing ever?

    Well, to be fair god created Multiplayer thinking exclusively of strategy games. If you haven't played a strategy game in multiplayer, well you haven't tried multiplayer at all. This is the only genre where multiplayer isn't at all an artifice, it's just the way they are played since the...

    5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games

    Well did you read the article I'm talking about ? I'm not the one juxtaposing these two things to make a point. He is. His point is children don't even need a story to make up a compelling adventure in their head. So a mediocre story can be compelling to children. And from this he...

    5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games

    Well I for one disagree with most of the points he's making. I hate the way he basically take back all the criticism he offered in the premisse, and embarass himself in the 'The truth is...' section basically offering the gaming industry a enthusiastic blowjob. He's almost implying that Final...

    Skylon - air breathing space ship

    The principle is to make a reusable space transport. To make it reusable you have to make it able to fly in the atmosphere, so it can land safely. To achieve this (except for the last minute D-Dalus which could be a potential contender), you have to give it a plane shape. That's why planes...

    Recommend me a game.

    I've had a great time playing Transport Tycoon back in the day. You basically run a transport company you have to make grow, exploring the possibilities of air, train, sea transport... It's old and pixelated, it's simple, and I don't recall well if there's diplomacy involved, but it's good...

    Photographers, Anyone?

    Your pictures are powerful and the place you visited look very interesting ! It's a shame they are so small, not much detail to look at :(

    8.9 Earthquake in Japan

    We're not laughing at these dumbfuck because they aren't helping, we're laughing at them because they're dumb : slight difference. What's funny is that they are being all patriotic and aggressive where there is really no reason whatsoever. What's funny is also that hey are numerous. They're...

    Planescape: Torment

    What's delightful in this game is that it's one of few where killing a monster give you like 200 XP but solving a quest where you had to do nothing but talk gives you 5000 XP.

    Stupid question about programming games

    It's not that dumb of a question. It's quite related to the problems computer programming is facing these days. That is, on the hardware side, it's been a few years we have reached a 'limit' in pure speed (you may have noticed processors don't go up in GhZ anymore). The innovation now rely...

    Stupid question about programming games

    It would be good to know more about the background of your queston, to answer it in the best way possible That is, are you requiring help because you are going at it yourself, or is it just a question as an outsider looking in ? A program is usually subdivided in many functionalities...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    What do you mean, 'continuous' ? Is there a way to play Thief 1 and Thief 2 in a continuous way, in the same engine ? I'm interested

    The French language is a hoax!

    What Also, I'm french but don't really like my language. It usually sounds... snob. I prefer english, italian, chinese... Also, it's one of the less tonic languages I heard. We are one of the only people who really don't know where the tonic accent is on a word. And then when we have to...

    Holy Crap LA Noir facial technology!

    If you change my words to fit your argument, you're just arguing with yourself. I never implied good writing is vague and unspecific. My point which you didn't get is that writing is suggestive in essence. Take the most detailled description you wish of a landscape, two different brains will...

    Holy Crap LA Noir facial technology!

    Did you ever read a book ? Probably not... Do it and come back tell us how your imagination was never sollicited Edit : I just saw how you mentioned being a bookworm. How can you be a bookworm, which I would translate to enjoy being transported to other place by the sole force of text...

    Holy Crap LA Noir facial technology!

    To be frank motion capture is not really the sphere from which you should expect mind-blowing innovations. Not now, not in the future. With real-world capture, you're limited, first, by what your real actors and situations have to offer, and second, by costs and tediousness of the process...

    Jesse Heinig on ghouls and FEV

    Well, we know the effect of increased doses of radiation isn't to accelerate the mutation process : it just slowly kill people. We know for sure it wouldn't produce the effects we encounter in Fallout. The designers probably knew this, so it makes sense they used FEV as the catalyst for all the...
