If you don’t mind, I’d really like to be featured in the credits or so. Bragging rights for having code on Steam isn’t something to joke about! xD

#22

Sure! Have to add Riven too.

One of our scout droids bumped into a Video Review by Total Biscuit

Released yesterday! Congrats guys, this is going to be amazing for popularity/sales :smiley:

#26

Might I ask how you do the trails for the projectiles? Been goofing around with similar effects but never can get anything very performant as I like lots and lots of particles.

#27

Just lots of particles.

[quote]… Really nice effects on the screen. The distortion things like that are pretty neat. …

#29

Do just add a particle every update on the bullet or lazier shot?

#30

FTFY

So many people misspell that word, it’s unnerving!

#31

Probably several particles… I’ll just go and find one…


	<emitter
		name="bullet.trail.emitter"
		infinite="true"
		particlesPerTick="1.0"
		appearance="spriteimage.particle.glowing.4px.01"
		layer="7"
		particleDuration="4"
		fadeDuration="6"
		startHue="0.95"
		startBrightness="0.15"
		endBrightness="0.015"
		angle="0.0"
		delay="2.0"
		rotate="true"
		relativeRotate="true"
		interpolation="5"
	/>

interpolation=“5” means for every 5 pixels the bullet moves, it emits particlesPerTick particles (1 in this case), and they only last 4 frames.

Cas :slight_smile:

#32

Basically what I was thinking.

Heh what is the hue/brightness stuff?

#33

Well, what does it look like? :slight_smile:

Our particles are interpolated between hues and brightnesses (and saturation) over their duration.

No idea where the proper place for a bug report is, so I’ll do it here. :stuck_out_tongue:

As you can see, I’ve got 2 cursors hanging about, and the big droid thing sticks around too. (Also, seems like my gfx card doesn’t support your shaders, so the game is a little weird, without the shadows. (It’s hard to actually “know” what’s visible to you and what’s not))

The bug first appeared after the update today. :slight_smile:

And of course the obligatory system specs:


Mac Book Pro, primo 2011
Mac OS X 10.8.3
2,3 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
#35

That’s caused by a failure to restore a saved game from a previous version. Just restart the game and it’ll be gone.

Cas :slight_smile:

#36

Arh, yeah, did notice that I had lost my save game. :stuck_out_tongue: I thought I had tried to restart the game, turns out I hadn’t, so it works as intended. :slight_smile:

Great to see you guys at Eurogamer last weekend.

#38

We had a blast! Totally knackering though.
