    Yeah, being able to work in C# is awesome. I've worked with it in the past, so being able to seamlessly transition to working with it in Unity is awesome.

    I agree with you on the UE4 front, it has evolved and changed quite a bit, even just since the UE3/UDK days. It's possible to make some really cool stuff with it, just difficult for a one man team to do.

    I don't have a blog currently, but I do have a little pet project that I'm working on. I have a few pics from it floating around here, but they're not all in the same place.

    Yeah, not having someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of can be tough. Unity is pretty sweet though. It's nice because it has a lot of headroom and potential and the learning curve is pretty shallow compared to UE4. There aren't many hard limits, and it's cool to see what people can do with a bit of ingenuity. If you want someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm all ears.

    Hey, I've been following your blog for a bit and it's been fun to watch your progress and see how you've handled a few the challenges you've come across. You always have some interesting insights, and I feel like I always pick up on something new when I read it, even though I've been doing game dev for 4 or 5 years now. So, thank you!

    [22-53-57] MasterHaosis: Rao Dao Zao, it is never explained how he can see or how he can speak, as nanobots does not have speakers
    [22-54-38] Rao Dao Zao: T-1000 must also have a Skynet chip inside it, so there must be a small non-liquid core _somewhere_.
    [22-54-57] Rao Dao Zao: (It can't be controlled remotely because it's sent to the past where Skynet does not exist yet.)

    Also, real question is how it actually works, what is it's power source? It must operate somehow. Or perhaps its just coded to move so does not need any power source.
    MasterHaosis
    Yeah you are right about that. You remember that Jury of awesomeness. They tried to take out of site and to banish haosis virus, they called themselves ,,Elitists". They actually won round, but lost war. :cgrin:
    Now they are gone for years and haosis virus is spreading still :cgrin:
    MasterHaosis
    ....And to survive these hard times :cgrin:
    hehe, that sounds like one of sects or mind control which politicians use to manipulate stupid people
    MasterHaosis
    Yes. And more people seems infected with haosis virus :cgrin:
    it is not dying here, it is still alive. Maybe in modern democratic suit, but still alive and present haha
    MasterHaosis
    Ah, so its 4 times now? Am I leveled up here, like WC3 hero? Yeah, by time here, I got more experience...
    MasterHaosis
    hehe you are also old legend too.
    First generation. You are 11 years here. I am second generation, that changes after few years.
    So we have even those modern facebook-tablets generations. They lacking brain abilities, but nah.
    MasterHaosis
    Man this is never getting old, even newbs are impressed with this and using it.
    I was not active for months, and when came back even moderators did username,smiley in my profile page haha

    I've bookmarked that thread. Will read it before playing, its a very interesting idea indeed :)
    N.Knight
    I recently played your 'When the Freedom Slips Away', what a map, seriously who says epic maps need to be 256x256 size. Its like a universe in a nutshell. Everytime I thought It was the end....well, it was not hehehe
    Next is 'This Wreckage', whenever I sit down next for wc3 Single player session.
    A new map! I would like to know more about it.

    About Redemption, I am making units now, which is proving to be a easier said then done task. Will try and make updates more frequent.
    RED BARON
    Yea, same same for me :wsmile: and in regards to Borderlands I have heard similar (I do own it + all the good dlc, however have not gotten around to actually playing it). Maybe I will some day, if for nothing else, then just to try out Tiny Tina.
    RED BARON
    Hehe, I basically never got caught up in borderlands as it for me relied too much on playing with others and grinding. And yea, it had some interesting characters, but given the choice I prefer strategy games and story. Still I do play games outside that genre and I always find it a shame when games only focus on the multiplayer and neglects the singleplayer experience.
    RED BARON
    Well you can also play it singleplayer no problem.. :wsmile: I played the whole thing solo, while I agree that having more would add to the experience it also works fine as solo. Not much replayability, even though they tried by adding different type of characters with different stats and items.
    RED BARON
    If I get you right, I would say a few of my previous mentioned games should have that to some extend, although it often comes down to combo moves in those, but say for instance Magika, if you know it. It requires some movement as well, to avoid damage, but else its all about putting together the abilities and aiming with the cursor.
    RED BARON
    Considered maybe a mix between a game like say HMM2 and a hack'slash without it being turnbased? (Just asking as the idea struck me when reading your post). But it sounds neat I gotta say.
    RED BARON
    Hehe, well there is a few roguelike 3D games, like Ziggurat (likely one of the better ones) or heavy bullets (or I guess to some degree the more procedural generated ones, with less focuses on gaining skills, such as Tower of Guns). None of them quite the perfect match I agree :wsmile:

    Binding of Isac - Our Darker Purpose are top-down 2D graphical roguelikes - not platformers. Another that is turnbased, but on one hand also very interesting is Dungeon of the Endless. But I guess when it really comes down to it, in that genre you are likely looking at more space related games.

    But how hard a line are you drawing with the 2D aspects? As there is multiple titles with a topdown - kinda 3D view with some hack'slash elements and what could easily have been roguelike.
    RED BARON
    Well, not really recommending Diablo, its a rather different beast and quite honestly I don't believe the third one would have sold at all if not for the name. Yes, the expansion has fixed multiple issues and thus people are more accepting of it, but really there is so many great ones out there (and cheaper). In point you might consider looking at roguelike games as well, since they have a lot of the hack'slash in them and they offer various ways of dealing with longevity of the game.

    Btw: would never be a focus group :wgrin: More a list of general don't or do :wwink:
    RED BARON
    Also a darn shame I forgot to mention it while it was on sale, but the castlecrashers one is a fair example for a 2d hack'slash with the coop stuff in, but as yours is significantly different it might not be the right one. Anyway I'll continue the search for ideas, also just write if you want me to post some of the "game creation notes" and stuff.

    Also dunno if your interested/know of it/have any option to participate, but a fair big game jam convention is opening in February: http://nordicgamejam.org/
    RED BARON
    Nice, oh and I recalled the game I really should have mentioned earlier: Bayonetta (and its sequal) though I figure you already know it, it is widely praised as one of the best in the genre :wsmile:
