Tunnels Of Tarkus

[StarFire]

Yes a better water plane would help. Need to find a good fast water shader

Still here and still working on Tunnels of Tarkus...Getting ready to get enemies working and a teleporter for next level...Optimized game some for better fps...I hope everyone else's game is coming along....no video this time, most of the work is not visible...

[SolarPortal]

Excellent news Enemies should be able to use the mechanics StarFire created which should speed the process up some for yourself, or at least a starting place to create your own unique enemies.

No problem on the video, that's how skyline work feels atm. So much is being done but none of it can be shown in a usable form lol

I think a couple of users decided to wait a while as they were having problems with lighting their levels. Personally, this is not too much trouble as i just tend to focus on other aspects of the game until problems are fixed

Keep it up!

I kinda just put the project back on hold until DX 11 and some of the other features come out..

I am still here viewing the forums though, when I open up the browser its the first page that I see...
Been messing around with cryengine, since I subscribed might as well learn something..


Happy to hear your games coming along..

[StarFire]

We are listening

Thanks for the support and we wont let you down.

Skyline is getting a major ass kicking this year which will fix the lighting and give us industry standard materials with PBR. Performance tools are going to be added which overall will make Skyline as fast as the top engines. The gap will only get smaller

We are also looking to speed up game frame work design and hope to find time for some documentation

So all in all we are there to fight alongside anyone who wants to be on this amazing journey with us. Go Skyline!! lol

Thanks

As for documentation, perhaps if we ask @Shando nicely, he may help if its no pressure, as he is an advanced user of the Custom Qt Editor plugin system. We will have to put something together on it at some point though lol

[Shando]

Hi all,

I think that Skyline is going to be one of the most "indie-friendly" engines out there, since the learning curve is *relatively* low and the Devs are pretty much the most helpful I've come across Also, if lot of the stuff on the roadmap is implemented then I even think it'll start pushing U***y for attention (it's already better in some areas imho)!!!

As for docs for Qt, I'm actually moving house in the next week or so, so might not have much time in the foreseeable future but I'll see what I can do

Shando

PS: Go Skyline!!!!

[SolarPortal]

Thanks Shando , no pressure on yourself though. Its probably something to do after you have settled again

[epsilonion]

Even if we get bits n bobs of the documentation written it will make it easier for the devs to rewrite in the long run .

My thinking at the moment is to make the transition from other engines as painless as possible, if the Skyline contributers just put what they know about it will be easier in the long run.

Some of the documentation is well out dated and I was thinking about addressing this next week.

I was also thinking about going through the patch notes and adding the api updates into the api documentation, I just need to come up with a list of priorities for the documentation, Api documentation.

[StarFire]

Thanks this would be a big help. We can pass you data that will help ensure the api is upto date.

Let us know what you need or that anything that would help you and we can see if we can make it happen.

Going to try to have a demo out by March 1,2016...If I don't run into too many glitches it should be possible...

[SolarPortal]

awesome, we wish you the best of luck

[StarFire]

Very happy you are enjoying our engine
As for the cuss words, lol they happen with every project on every engine, we regularly have a day or two a week where being pee'd off is common. Shit sometimes doesnt go our way lol

lol

As of today I have working enemies in Tunnels of Tarkus...I have implemented the health and ammo pickups...I am now trying to get turrets working...

I will try to get a new progress video up this weekend...

The March 1st deadline is coming extremely fast...There is still so much to get done...I have not even started on models for level 2...

[SolarPortal]

That's good news your enemies are working!

Thanks for the info on the sound file. We will remove it for the next release and find a Creative Commons one to replace it

[CreativeOcclusion]

I am not sure about the other sound files that are included...I will edit my post above and remove the part about the sound file...

What about the models included with the engine...like the Fell Hound....???
