So I was a tool last night and accidentally deleted the original article with this title that I posted. It just missed the 12 hour backup which would have been able to restore it. D:
So anyway, I will re-type the general gist of it but shorter as last time it was a bit long. :O
Firstly, do not use RapidSwitch for co-locating your server. The only decent thing about their service is the speed they reply to tickets. They do not care about their customers and if you try and cancel they make your life an annoyance for a few months afterwards (as both me, Andy and Icipher can certainly tell you.) I hope that anyone who reads this heeds our warning.
If you're a random stranger who found this on Google or just curious about more check the link on Digg: Digg Link
In other news whilst me and Andy have been to busy to do Lua. I have been neatening my Snow Accumulation demo that some of you will remember from ~May. I am almost done now the last thing (before I deem it portfolio worthy for a job) is finishing off the tools tab.
Here is an image of its progress:
Note: This is a birds eye view. It may be hard to tell as there is no shadowing in this project.
The last tools needed are a snowball thrower and foot print maker (cause they would be bawse) which will need some camera picking to find the closest face on the mesh (which is generated via a heightmap texture made by Andy. <3) The textures for the model are courtesy of Darkfire. It is a huge texture and is about 30MB! Lol.
And finally. Me and Thorgal finally spoke like adults and are for now friendly again (and hopefully it'll stay that way!) And so we've both decided to do separate things for now and might both re-collaborate one day for Atomic but for now wish to just leave it was a learning experience. :)
However, I am putting up a new board soon for an RPG-ish game, which will collect ideas and produce a proper GDD. Once I then get the time this game will be developed.
Ostarara is helping me write the story, so story ideas will have to be approved by us to ensure consistency but otherwise there is no "ideas guy" so any idea is possibly feasible so just let your mind go nuts! Currently only admins/devs can view it but sometime today/soon it'll be made viewable by members with x amount of posts once Ostarara has finished a rough story draft of what we have so far up and posted.
I failed at making this second attempt any shorter. D:
Lol.
