Anything that is going to penetrate deep enough to notice is probably going to take the guy down so he definitely should ragdoll on such hits. I wonder if they can at least, apply forces to the receiving ragdoll such that it tries to avoid additional penetration into the blade. Also, since they are ...

Game designers would, however, still know how much it costs to implement certain design decisions, so they can not be completely divorced from development and implementation. Otherwise you get to become Peter Molyneux. Briliant Ideas man, but not enough there to ensure proper execution Of course if ...

I guess a lot of people put it into documents

Kinda silly since it actually clutters the documents folder, I have to force it to go into the my Game sub-folder that has also been commonly used and use hidden junctions to make it stay there.

Thanks for reporthing this! It's actually the listening script that didn't do the same-team check; they would hear each other's footsteps and think "HOLY COW A NOISE I MUST INVESTIGATE!!!" It will be fixed in the next alpha. Hmmm I wonder if there is a way you can develop AI for listening...

Nice work! Does this basically round off all of the necessary animation features needed to avoid discontinuity? I mean last week you said that the game had game play that can be started and completed seamlessly, and this week, it seems that the basic animation code and assets are in place so that th...

The best part of knowing first is keeping it secret. Watch how other people stumble to understand. Anyway, it's gonna be awesome. ~ Black The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his. Well as of right now, it looks like someone isn't aware of that fact...

All the PHP code is run before rendering the web page, if the php code generates errors that aren't resolved it ends up writing out the error to the output text stream. Then this text stream is interpreted as stuff that should be rendered to the web page.

The tip was actually an adjustable with the splitting of your contribution. Nobody had to give any tip if they didn't want to, but the default split was something rather than nothing. Who knows what would happen if the tip wasn't substantial enough to pay the bandwidth costs, John might not consider...

One could construct sound detection in a way that is similar as ray casting for sight, but if you wanted to be able to detect echo, then you would have to account for reflection, which the current system doesn't do. Also, there is another problem with your system. Reflection : (basically what zalo s...

Well it seems that we haven't gotten any information about the HIB #2 statistics from the blog or humblebundle.com yet, however John did a presentation about the HIB at the GDC. Well it seems that content from the GDC is available now, which includes the presentation slides of all presentations for ...

Another thing you should consider about AI fov and "peripheral not seeing so far" is that the peripheral is still very good at detecting motion, even if it can not clearly see something. So perhaps it would be good to have different detection distances for when the player is moving too. So...

There is no statement, from wolfire, on avaliability of the full source code, however the engine will be modifiable to the extent of how powerful the scripting engine will be. The scripts, I believe, will not be encrypted or anything so you can modify the game to the extent of the scripting system e...

They would have to rig and animate plantigrade feet differently, so for production cost (time) reasons, it may be easier for everything to use the same type of feet. That said, they do have the ability to blend animations, so could it be possible to re-use the same base skeleton but be able to swap ...

Due to our GDC presentation, moving around, and other general craziness, alpha 120 will be delayed until tomorrow... I am very sorry! We should get back in our rhythm next week. Is there any footage of your GDC presentation? I would love to see how that went Don't think so. I looked at the gdc site...
