Actually Aelya is on the money, almost:

My posts are a result of several things:

1. Boredom
2. I\'ve had a bad couple days and am bringing it out on the board, I apologize
3. Link pissed me off
4. People didnt take my first posts seriously, they instead were like \"not another newb!\", It disrespected me.
5. No body thought the No Pants Day was funny ( I guess you have to see it for it to be...)

Hmmm, Honestly I never thought about turning the game models to actual renderings... I always thought the other way around. Makes more sense now, thanks.

When I said difficult I meant in making them. I\'ve dabbled in 3dsmax for 3 years now, there is no true easy way of making really good renderings.

On your #5, I understand your argument.

On your #2, I like your counter argument about the true-unique-certified vision, because in this open ended system there is nothing to say that the world won\'t evolve into it.

Thanks boonet

Forum and Website Discussions / Developers Diary?
« on: February 28, 2003, 06:15:04 pm »
I think having a \"Update forum would be great. Have it so nobody but admin. can post. And use it to let people know of the games progress (like a developers Diary) and how far until completion of each phase.

I think this would be a good idea because I think alot of people look to the forums sto find out this information annhow, and it would make it easier on the entire community to know any major developments.

Hit, you mentioned seeing huge monsters in other games. You said they where boring. How can they be made to be entertaining is the question?

I believe given the right situation they would provide a excellent break from a players normal routine.
I also believe the purpose of a mmorpg is to interact with real people, because if you don\'t want that interaction then you could easily be more happy with single play games.
What Im saying is that a huge moster could be a excellent ploy to get people interacting and working together.

Am I wrong in this?

I would like to here counter-arguments and supportive arguments.

The Hydlaa Plaza / A note on Spam
« on: February 28, 2003, 05:57:27 pm »
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it (which if you look into a thread on a forum, you are choosing to view it). Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

For more information go to the Net Abuse FAQ.

My reply is thus:

1) Agreed
2) Yes, but with a false vision of the world
3) Definately
4) Nice, but terribly difficult at times
5) Yes, but wouln\'t it be better to know what your getting?

Single Author Stories / Setting an Eerie scene

I was wondering if this peice sets a proper mood for a dark and ominous environment:


The moon was full and bright within the grasp of the night, illuminating the forest in a soft pale ghastly white. The shadows of the tree\'s snaked out, searching for something to grasp within its cool embrace. A short breeze from the east ruffled the leaves, and the forest moaned a terrible warning to those that lay within its bowels. The wind brought whispers of times past, whispers of sorrow, whispers of death. The wind carried these icy messages through the forest, where they pounded there words upon the Hill of Aslon. And there atop that hill laid a crude, gothic, and misshapen manor. A place that\'s life had been extinguished in era\'s long forgotten. The wind crept in through the holes and breaks of the glass windows, to gently persuade the ragged, decaying drapes to do a dance. A dance of phantoms, wraiths, apparitions. The breeze crept up the spiral stairs, which once where proud; draped in red carpet, and now lay rotting and in ruin. The breeze crept its way into the attic, where a solitary candle lit the dust and webs and curiously; a coffin. A coffin of carved black oak, and rusted golden inlays. And the breeze fought with the flame of the candle, and the flame flickered and was gone. The room went dark except for a small circular window which poured in a moon-light which fell directly upon the coffin. Silence. And then there could be heard the beating, softly from inside the coffin, an eerie ominous beating. Just then a treacherous cloud covered the silent moon and the room was enshrouded in black. The sound of a old rusted door opening. The beating growing louder and lounder. And then, nothing. No sounds. No visions. Just sweet oblivion. And the moon was released from the deathly curtain of the cloud, and the room was once again illuminated. The coffin laid open on the floor, with nothing inside but crimson velvet cushions and the fear of the unknown...
 
I made this in about 20 minutes, so there are bound to be some typo\'s....

General Discussion / All out renderings
« on: February 28, 2003, 07:29:02 am »
Have you ever wondered why game developers make uber-high res. rederings that will never, ever see the light of day (in a game)? Why not just go straight to making the actual world models? Wouldnt that be more time effective?

Guilds Forum / Hellsing????
« on: February 28, 2003, 07:21:41 am »
Does the Guild Hellsing have anything to do with anime Hellsing? Does that mean the Guild Lord is Alucard? Who plays Victoria? ...and, what are you doing about the small fact that Vampires dont exist in this world?
