You might be able to ask somebody to help with rendering the lightmaps, some halo ce community members have done that a few times already.

dont i gotta send all the shaders being used? and scenery?

do you have another preview coming up? its been a while

not sure, I think so

i should grab my old laptop and try to make it operational. maybe that will be my lightmaps machine. i didnt have a preview for last month so heres something for you as well as a couple nice reveals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EcTzp9gfGU&feature=youtu.be

18 minutes
what a treat

Bump to keep alive HCE until I retire x6

at least release purgepoint 1, ive been waiting for this for too long.

Aw man I only have 3 levels down, it would be so incomplete and have a cliffhanger so big if I released it now. After all it's only been 4 months of work. Once I get more schoolwork done, figure out if I still have a girlfriend, and let lightmaps take it's place, this stuff will return to a map a month. But during the time I'm away from my computer, I'm sketching the level designs for the future levels... I really am liking how the assault and tank missions are gonna look. As well as the final mission.

"figure out if I still have a girlfriend"
What did you do this time rcg?

IMO, why don't you release your levels episode by episode, you can get helpful feedback that way and it will also create a lot more hype; you can completely polish level 1, 2 and release them and also keep work progressing on the upcoming episodes with keeping the feedback in mind. This way, the quality of each upcoming level will get better & better.

Put my 350z racecar project and video game project in front of my live life lmfao



Actually episodes are a good idea, I may consider it. However I am avoiding redoing big bsp structures because lightmaps fur this latest level has taken a total of a month

Busy life, also I agree with the episode part. Could be a good idea.

Bruh xD

its ok though, i got another one, it's like you can get one at the store XD

Not that easy for me :(

Dude, I think you mixed up the hang-out centre with a brothel

I'm impressed, well done man

Nah she's too innocent.

I have an announcement! My hard drive... is perfectly fine! Ok, so I'm releasing a demo/beta most likely tomorrow , October 24th, my birthday (weird coincidence) as long as the final touches go according to plan. I'll post the link here, and send an @everyone post to the sparky, SBB, and my discord servers on the YouTube announcement containing the link. And after I'm done with that, in moving on to the 4th level immediately. I got 10 or 9 levels left. Should keep me busy.

Hype!

Hyped to play

behold! my first demo! the link is in the youtube video description, this is something i have worked on since may, and so you get the first 3 levels... i got 9 or so more to go XD however i will knock out a quick assignment and then immediately start with the next level... btw... i am never making a massively wide open area in this game again. it is way too difficult for encounters. here we are, https://youtu.be/4BmEG0Kn5NQ

Nobody replies here, so just wanted to tell you, I've downloade it and I'm planning no playing it through completely, you'll probably receive some feedback afterwards ;)

had some downtime since a week after the demo release. finished up schoolwork early. time to get back to work

Yesss

Sorry for no feedback, lack of time :/

nothing like adding an optional objective that affects the level. i think i pissed off latinos because i get thumbs down on all my stuff

I'm overseas atm and could only play the first level before I left but I loved it

I like the voice acting on this vid :)

That video seemed a little odd... I think I've actually played Operation Purgepoint before... This old YouTube video here reveals that this person has played it too!

Hehehe, no doubt that you were inspired by this :P

Might want to skip the 9th level intro :P

I actually think the references are pretty darn cool

9th level?!?!?

That's a lot man

Also, I didn't really give you feedback, but the most important thing I can think of is that some outdoor areas were too big and too empty, it gave me a similar feeling as when I'm in a dream and I get more and more alone along the way, not a good thing.

Some outdoor areas were great, the first outdoor area after getting out of the forerunner facility was really great for example, there was cover, it wasn't too big, it didn't feel empty and it was a fun encounter, keep going forward with that!

13 total. i made that mistake when realizing putting too much would lag it out, so its just going to be a base level for one more level. other than that i know what im setting up for the rest, im upscaling some hud items, however i cant find an upscale for the shotgun reticle.

you might like the 5th level. im releasing another set after the 6th level. then again on the 8th and 9th. however i feel it would be good to figure out for story reasons how the rest is released... maybe 11th and then full set

I always thought that part of Gears 2 was cool, neat to see it repurposed for Halo
