Heyo. Been thinking of making some new tutorials, video or written, for Intersect while we wait for the Source. This post is to test the waters and see if there's even a need for tutorials out there. Let me know if you'd like to see some more tutorials and, if so, what you'd like me to cover. Thanks!

Nice to see some more artists around here. Looking good

Bit of progress. Still getting used to using these tiles.

In light of the changes that have been made within the past year, the Life Forge team is happy to announce that we've completed our checklist. Now that we've caught up with all previous roadmap / announced ideas, We've opened up a new realm of possibilities for Life Forge! With that said, we'd love to invite you all to view our roadmap for the following month. 1: PVP Volcanic island with various high end resources allowing players to literally fight there way to the top! 2: Flushed out content from the beginning of the game. We're looking to further the experience at the beginning of the game, seeing as we've mainly focused on end game content. Expect flushed out contnet in area's between the levels of 1-30. 3: More raids and dungeons are coming! Look forward to delving into the depths of the sea, as well as the innards of a active Volcano! 4: Quests Galore! Expect a huge increase in quests, including a massive quest line that will bring the world of Life Forge together! 5: ?

Another map nearly finished for today. Still not sure how to properly show the depth/height of the cliffside, so for now I'm still using "false shadows"

Some internal problems have arisen irl for some the devs. Try to be patient with them. They have to take care of themselves and those they care about first. I know they ARE trying to fix some bugs even while this is going on though

Coolio. Then I wish you good luck.

What exactly do YOU do on this project?

I'm too busy with work and life to dedicate enough time to an active game like Life Forge at the moment. Currently Benjo and Zetasis along with some new blood are running Life Forge. If my current project ever comes to fruition, however, Life Forge Customers (peeps that have purchased items on Life Forge) will be rewarded for their purchases in the new game as well. (Though Life Forge is and will continue to remain updated, playable, and expanded upon)

Had time to start a cave map today. Something interesting to note is that when using the screenshot feature, lights are displaced. @Kibbelz @panda

Aye some of the cliff walls (namely the really big offender) is just out of the camera's view. 1 down and it looks weird when a player is standing there so I kind of had to cheat a little hehe. As for the shading going "up", I'm trying to experiment with it to see how else I can show how tall that mountain actually is. I don't want the players walking "behind" it so I'm trying to see what I can do to show it in 2d haha. And yeah, that field looks pretty bad when not connected haha. It's actually in a little valley, but yeah I might try to spruce it up haha. Thanks for the feedback!

More work on mapping for the Unknown Project Been working on adding more shading to areas to make it flow a bit better. Let me know what you think and what I can improve on! I'm still a bit iffy on that "tree canopy" off the highrise of the mountain. We'll see I suppose.

Had a day off of work today for a nice little change. Finally started work on my Intersect Project. Have half a journal full of notes that I can't really do anything with until Source is released, but in the meantime I can map out the game world. First map. (Not the starting position of the player obviously) If you haven't already, I would highly suggest downloading my little Shadows tileset I made for AGD. It's how I could do that nice overhang effect under the land bridge.

Tore my very soul asunder

All me

Yes to both when the source becomes available. However, RPG Maker does not legally allow their assets to be used outside of RPG Maker

Highlights would include a nice new hybrid watch from my girlfriend, a minifridge, some switch games, and tons of new clothes haha.

A few days ago I finished the prototype build on the Lego Lightsaber. I get to wear it at work all day haha. Been way too busy for game dev lately, but I do have something in the works to show you eventually when it's done. Ciao

So I work for Lego now, and star wars just came out, so I'm making these for myself and fellow employees. We get to carry them around at work lol. $60 + shipping a piece if you want one. They come in Blade Colors of Blue, Green, Red, or Purple with Hilt Colors of White, Black, or Painted Silver. Don't really expect any of you to wanna get one, but the option's there lol.

Not that I know of in Vanilla Unity. You might try taking a look at the asset store maybe haha.

Bump. Edited the main thread as there seemed to be some confusion as to when applications were due. Sorry about that!

Made some new quests for Life Forge today. Also finished printing the pommel of "A Song of Ice and Fire"'s (and the show's (GOT)) Longclaw! Layer height - 0.2mm Time - 11 Hours End result - 9/10. Almost a perfect print!
