Of course I know that. ;P That's why I'm trying to keep the story relatively short and thinking of ways to cut corners (buying prebuilt objects like trees, doing hoodoo-voodoo chants, etc.). But I fully expect it to take a good while nonetheless. I guess I should be more specific though. That timeframe mentioned would be after my library is finished. A year may be more realistic considering it's also a learning process (but I used "or more" to cover my backside hehe). So, that's why the story will be short and sweet - not too short, but shorter than a commercial game's for sure. [edit] Also I don't intend for the level of object detail to be that of a commercial game released this day and age. And my graphic skills aren't *that* great, good not great. I'm aiming for circa Zelda OOT style graphics at first. [/edit]

here's something else to keep you busy then. :-D http://www.creativitybootcamp.com/resources.htm[^] if you and your girlfriend ever get up the money.... visit the Game Designer's Conference. It will pay for itself in quality in your own work. Don't go just to look, go to learn, hit it hard with heavy class load for a week. You'd be surprised at what you can learn. and you get to hear crazy people like me prattle on about their accomplishments and problems encountered, plus bounce some ideas off them. I remember my conversation with the Niniane Wang who developed the cloud rendering technique for one of the Microsoft Flight simulators.... Discussing an imposter ring for distant clouds she said you could deliberately position the imposter ring in front or behind any mountains to make it more realistic... I asked what if you wanted them both locations because of multiple mountain ranges. She looked at me with a confused look and said, "where do you live?" then we discussed the idea of multiple imposter rings. Of course the difficulty being choosing the fewest possible so that you do not loose the performance gains of imposter rendering.... Nice lady.

You do realize that most games take a year or two with a team of programmers right? Actually my games still haven't been done. One came close. But the ideas I came up with are still unique. I just got caught up with live visualization/simulation without the plot. ;)

BTW, you know what I'm gonna say to this already... But here goes anyway. Um, why don't you finish them and post an article on CP? Hey, I had to try. :rolleyes:

By now you should know me. You can't bring up a term of that's of interest to me, that I don't know about, and expect me not to ask. So, what's the imposter ring of a cloud?

Yeah, right. All that hassle for a phone number?
We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP
Linkify! || Fold With Us! || sighistI already have the phone number. Evidently someone found Link wandering around his neighborhood wearing a bicycle helmet (in case he fell and hit his head). On the helment was one of those medical info stickers that provided his home phone number in case someone found him wandering around without supervision. Instead of calling the number, they posted it on the internet. Of course the story took a bit of a nasty turn when someone called and told Link that he was Link's father, and that the guy that was sharing his mother's bed was... waitaminit, this is getting out of hand... Forget I said anything. No, really. And put that camera away...

Cool. Thanks for the link I'll check into it.

His reply was the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Your offer here is to generous. If he accepts the former I want a Link-skin wallet but I won't pay much for it probably isn't worth much.:-D

I've considered that I'm either bored or simply apathetic towards meandering speeches containing immense words woven so closely within the context of the current dialogue. However, our hero has inspired me, and I therefore acquiesce to his challenge of vitriolic reparté. Still, he pursues a cowards's course in that he refuses to participate once the gauntlet is returned in kind. The last fair maiden that recieved words such as these became smitten with me. Nay, and I should expect the same surrender from one so lovely as yourself, for I am already smitten by thee. :) Man, how did people get anything done back then? All those flowery words just to tell someone you wanna hookup with 'em... Sheesh! :) -- modified at 14:01 Monday 28th August, 2006
