  2. Game cover designs

    Inspired by the following tweet of Chris Remo: http://twitter.com/chrisremo/status/25059043037 What are your favorite game cover designs? It looks like most games have the same cover design with a picture of a lead character in the middle and the title at the top or bottom.

    but it only takes 15 seconds for a single run, just hold the left mouse button and keep walking the route keeping the cursor in the middle. also... my mad water skills only apply to still water, I haven't figured out how to create proper flowing water that can travel that distance. ps, the still water trick works as follows: +-+ |w| +-+-+ |x|w| +-+-+ w = "unlimited" water x = dirt Dig away x (must be a max of 1 level deep) and it will become still. The trick is that x must get "unlimited" water from at least 2 sides. You cannot flood an area to get still water. But you can speed up the process a bit: +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | | | |w| | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |x|x|x|x|x|[u][b]x[/b][/u]|x|x|x|x| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | | | |w| | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The empty squares are 1 level deep. So, in this situation you would have flowing water. When you dig away x it will become still. Then when you dig away and x next to it, it will also become still, and you can continue than until the whole segment is still water.

    heh... what house? or do you call that single spire a house?

    I was actually paraphrasing the song "I don't want to set world on fire". bMMV_RoEMxE One thing the "game" really needs to improve upon is creating more interesting caves. Mining through a cave isn't that exciting.

    Come on people.... harvest the reed. We need it to create enough books to fill the cathedral up to the roof with books

    The pretty much described my Saturday. My lunch was at 15h, dinner at 21h, took a shower at 0h en went to bed around 3.5h. I only started at 10.5h "I'll just do this, and then I'm done" has been my thought quite some times. And it usually resulted in another 2 hours. I love the multiplayer stuff. The single player was annoying with all the dying, and no way to enjoy other people's creations.

    I created a message board at the community chest; we can use it to leave messages. Please leave the signs at the message board, just erase the message when you're done.

    The Android's Dungeon (bookstore) has opened it's door. Unlike the store in Springfield we don't mind if you stay and read a book or two. In fact, we have a nice reading room, just don't stand in the fire. Also, I ran into a dead self.

    I made a large reed farm (148 per day) it's next to the cathedral. If you pass buy and the reed is stacked 3 high, please harvest and place it in storage. Next to the reed farm is a "bookstore", that's where you can store the reed harvest, and also get/create paper and books. It's an off-site extension of the community chest for reed/paper/books. Same rules apply.

    damnit.. I locked myself out. It keeps crashing when I want to join.

    My burning skull
  13. Minecraft

    Some constructions are insanely huge. Worked on a few projects. I did the buried tree next to the cathedral. Also made some underwater thingies, I called it "Life aquatic with Wizard Babboo". The best way to get there is to go toward my sky home: west from community chest, then the path past the cathedral. Just continue towards to the floating skull (take a left, and not right to the skull lookout). Take the stairs towards the skull and enter it. Walk to the back side to the sign with "watch your step", and then go do. If you watched your step you'll be in the under water thingy. From there you can continue to another underwater thingy on your right. Oh yeah, I made a huge floating skull. You should check it out at night up to sunrise. Head for "skull lookout".

    I need some practice, the ideas in my head do not translate well into blocks so far. Also need to do some more planning

    CPIbGnBQcJY is a bit full of himself scifi writers have never written about this tech... what a bullshit, for example how about "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long", the short story which was the inspiration for the movie A.I. And I also have my doubts on how this tech even works. Unless they've done really ground breaking research in the field of feature extraction in static images, voice recognition, mood detection, motion recognition, ... What if I drew a picture of locomotive instead of a fish, would it recognize that even though it is completely unrelated to the game's current context.

    multiplayer is much more fun, I haven't died yet \o/ I did lose quite some stuff and progress when the server was rebooted yesterday. Altough the most important part is still there (it's that weird blue circle on the lower right part on the map).

    Interesting. I entered that in google's new image search and I found these:
  18. Game cover designs

    I think they try to put way too much crud on the covers in general. I prefer to have it more simple. The Evil Genius cover is actually quite nice: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/evil-genius/cover-art/gameCoverId,57703/ It actually tells you a bit about the game, i.e. you being a evil puppet master. The insides of the special edition for UT2004 is also quite nice: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/unreal-tournament-2004-dvd-special-edition/cover-art/gameCoverId,31072/ It's simple and clean.

    wow... still looks really awesome I wonder how much freedom you get

    I figured out what I was doing wrong... somehow I managed to set the difficult to the highest level. Playing now on a lower level, and I even managed to start building a house. Already had a fun small adventure. Near my house was a weird hole in the sea. And at the bottom I found a lot of green'ish rocks, a chest with things in it, and some fire-basket thingy.

    Damnit... must give this game another chance. I also want to have awesome adventures in mines and stuff.
