S.H.E. Screenshot

[Deleter]

In case any of you know/remember that I'm making a game (now in collabaration with BlueKeyboard) here is a little screenshot showing our main character, an idea of how the levels are going to work, and how much we love gore   . The game will run in 1024x768. Sorry to anyone with a crappy computer. The engine actually supports different gfx mode for the majority of the display functions, but we decided early on not to do it because we didn't want to resize the hundreds of sprites/tiles.

doesn't look too bad.

btw, since there's only one post in your double posted thread, you should be able to delete it yourself, there's an x button in the corner of your post usually.

Looks real good, but why is it only running 24 FPS? Are you running it on a slow pc?

[dumbledore]

maybe he has a sleep 10 in there

[DrV]

That looks suspiciously like your avatar...

Very nice art, though the splattered blood stuff (I guess that's what it is?) looks kinda rectangular in places.

hmm...well someone has deleted it for me, I'll remember that next time I make a mistake.

Hmm...I see what you mean in that screenshot, I'm not exactly sure why it looks like that, because the individual blood splatters don't look square...I'll look into it.

No, we have done no optimizing yet...Also, the fps really suffers when you use 1024x768 instead of 800x600 or lower. I am running it on a 2.8ghz machine with 1 gb of ram, but like I said, we haven't optimized anything, and the settings are pretty much maxed out. Also, the gibs atm steal like 7-10 fps (they are really over the top ), so it actually runs around 30 fps right now.

Ah look at those beautiful smoke puffs..

[speedlemon]

so when can we expect a demo?

[Deleter]

well, we have to implement at least a stand in status bar (I had to edit that one in  :oops: ) and there are a couple of other things we want to fix/code before releasing ademo. I will be out of town all next week, so maybe in 2/3 weeks. Hope y'all can wait that long.

[dumbledore]

you mean you modified the screenshot?  i wanna change my vote  :shifty:  :lol: jk

[Deleter]

Well, that could have been changed in 3 lines....sorry . Also, we have decided to change to 800x600 just so it can run on slower computers. I'll be gone all this week though....so cya on the flipside. :rotfl:

Wtf?

*Clears throat*

Err...

Allow me to elucidate^:

I thought the hi-res was your main thing about this game...? And now it's like... "Actually it's not hi-res, so i'll see you in a week, okay, buh-bye!!!"

Ehh whatever. I can't go past 800*600 on my monitor anyway, so in reality, I'm kind've glad. It does look pretty cool...

I hope it's more than a pretty tileset... =D

--------
^I heard it on TV. That is one cool word.

[TheBlueKeyboard]

Yeah well, when it runs at 18 fps on my 2.4GHz computer, it seems like the requirements are a bit too steep, so we're gonna change it to 800*600. It runs much faster on lower resolutions.

And yes, its much more than a pretty tileset .

[Deleter]

800x600 is still pretty hi-res, but this will run faster on slower computers. If the computer I am using right now was considered a low or mid range system, we would have made the game at 1024x768. However, since a lot of the FB/QB community has lower end systems (who else would use a dead language ) we didn't want to exclude the majority of our audience. Aside from the graphics though, we are either packing intense, horrifying, mutant-horde-blasting, gory action, or else we will still be tweaking it.

What? Resize them on-the-fly while loading based on the screenresolution the user said he wanted.

And... why is it only running at 24 fps lol. I get 1700 fps in 3D programs:

hehe :roll: I think it's just my comp doing a bit weird though (the fps counter is good)
