    Insecurity (even fake insecurity) over something not being not-gamey enough is my favourite thing to happen this week.

     

    Don't worry, I've taken the necessary steps and turned myself in just in case.

     

    @Clyde, The wind deflecting fireballs was an accidental thing, but yeah there was something satisfying about it so I left it there!

     

    And the title floating in the air was one of the first things I ever did in the Unity engine and I sort of became blind to its weirdness over the hours spent looking at it. V0.2 will change it to read "Congrats Nick" instead. Thanks guys for messing around with it!

     

    EDIT: Oh hahahaha this is a new thing. Congrats Nick Congrats Nick Congrats Nick (good job Tobacco).

    Looking up and seeing the moon with computer screens surrounding float by was pretty great, Dinosaurssssss.
     
    I spent last weekend trying to learn Unity stuff, so may I present:

    Wizard Battle by Laxan
     
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21888476/WizardBattle_0.1/WizardBattle_0.1.html
     
    -Trying to make a modular magic system where spells interact in cool ways.
    -3 mouse buttons and wasd are only controls
    -WARNING there are some sounds, so maybe turn down the volume beforehand.
    -Some collision stuff
    -All stock assets for the moment
    -One basic AI who will shoot you (He is an engineer model with a cube on his head, who spins around horizontally. I got too tired to fix him :fart: )

     

    Full list of spell combinations and other notes:

    L-Click: Wind Blast

    R-Click: Flamethrower

    M-Click: Ice Wall

    -Pressing wind blast while using flamethrower sends out a fireball.

    -Wind blast an ice wall to send it flying (maybe ring-out other wizards in the future?). I like conjuring ice walls in the air, and then blasting so they don't get stuck in the ground.

    -You can alternate between jumping and making ice walls below you to fly around and get back on to the ledge.

    -You can shoot the moon.

     

    EDIT: Is this a not-not-game? Should I post it somewhere else instead?

    I found an old blackmail note from a game a few months ago.  I think I was being scammed out of a tech deal, but they followed through in the end so I never had to post it.

     

    -- GALAXY-WIDE TRANSMISSION --
    NEW SPACESCIENTIST ISSUE 4x10^15 MAY

    PSA FROM LEAD SPACE SCIENTEST J. MALLARD, DEVELOPER OF ADVANCED ASTRALSCANNING AND PLANETARY TERRAFORMING. ALSO THE ZUNE.

    My Fellow Researchers,

    I will keep things brief. It would seem one among our ranks does not care for the advancement of spacekind and science, but rather, his own personal greed.
    Uhrmungle has revealed a new level of galactic corruption. If you were thinking of accepting his seemingly-gracious offers, let it be known that not only will you be contributing to the war efforts of the largest corporate hivemind in the Zuneverse, but also that the promised grant money and shared research will not arrive.

    My hands are tied, and must now warn others and encourage them to also add Uhrmungle to their trading blacklist.

    J. Mallard

    END OF PSA

     

    Such a weird game.

    So I guess mobs have pathfinding now.

     

    I went thousands of cubes away from spawn searching for a jungle biome. I never found one. Deciding to head back, I needed to tunnel down and find redstone to make a compass. In a chasm underground, 4 zombies lurched out of a cavern. I retreated across a single-block wide bridge, and assumed the zombies would run straight at me, falling into the chasm below. NO. They turned, crossed the bridge and deftly ran along the ledge I was standing on and killed me.

     

    So, yeah. Life finds a way.

    I hope they can make it easier for friends and crews to play and stay together as that seems a bit sketchy at present, invites don't work for me at all, and I'd like a way to mute everyone I don't know or speaks a language I don't Mr Rockstar pls.

     

    A friend pointed out that there's an option in the interaction menu thing that lets you specify the scope of who you can hear. I set it to friends and crew and the silence is golden. I have no idea if it affects who can hear me though.

    I've always wondered this too.  I mean, can you even ogle your character if it's first person?

     

    Would they possibly include female characters just to justify their usage in marketing materials? Evony eventually included some sort of Queen character to try make their "Play discreetly, m'lord" ads seem less ridiculous.
