Edit: a new video, with Zombies



Here's a little beach scene made with version 1.01.
The level is not finished, but looks nice already

Hi MooKai,

Your level looks great! We've had a lot of fun playing a Beach level in Multiplayer, I'd like to play yours too.

BTW, to embed your YouTube video so people can click it, just place the video code 3oWZlPx83Cg between

These two tags;

That looks great Mookai, excellent work.

SC

God that's better than some I have seen in UDK
Very Very Impressive !!

One for the steam Gallery

i'm trying to build an island with a beach just as i was told in the thread how to make a beach and after seeing your video i'm going to delete my island and start all over
amazing work, i'm impressed what is possible with the right creativity!

just a question: are all the objects from the entityband of 1.01 or are there some special objects. light and shadows look nice.

Wow.....

I'm going to hang my head in shame and take my beach scene elsewhere.

Very nice work!

Amazing...
I had a tear in my eye.. and a scary feeling in the pit of my stomach .. I could never do anything as good as this..

I bet Lee has a tear in the corner of eye when he see's this.. at what his hard work can produce..in talented hands...
brilliant just brilliant.. MooKai you are an artist..

Beautiful!

...and a GTX970 4GB... I'm jealous!

Hi,

Thanks Rick, for the help with the video
Yes, sure you can play it, but it's not final yet.
I hope on friday I can add the... the... Zombies

This is already level 19 or 20 for my little game. (an old school shooter need 32 levels hahahaha)
As soon as I've the zombies and when it's possible to encrypt the standalone files, I will think about a release on st... maybe greenlight.
But there's still a lot to do.

@nuncio
Yes, I've only used the assets (Sachen) from the last release 1.01, except 1 thing. The brown stones, it's actually a brown arc.
Which you can download from the store (it's freeware).

Building a beach can be tricky, coz the transition between the sandy beach and the water should be flat and smooth.
Not easy (for me) to do that in the editor. Also the beach and the sand in the water should have the same sand texture.
Not forget to paint the underwater area from green to sand.... or it will look like a jungle river.

That's how I start a new level....

1. an island... ok cut everything around your new island, I mean lower the terrain until you see the water.
2. in the middle green and outside paint sand (don't forget to paint the sand texture in the water too)
3. lower the beach at bit more until it's very close to the water
4. now I paint the grass
5. add some flowers, small plants, stones, buildings, enemies, weapons
6. add palms
7. add the xxl trees
8. test the level and edit the light and shadows.

Thanks all for the comments

The only thing I worry about is... even with a GTX970 I can kill the framerate down to 14, if I use tooooo many objects in a scene.

To be honest I was expecting Raptors ..... Right up their street that one

hahaha raptors, would be nice for a little Jurassic Park game.
or maybe zombie raptors...?

hey they have giana here... and the kiwi... and... and rick...

a raptor shooter, hm nice idea.

Go for it.... Definitely something we have not had yet in Gameguru

I have just found this,what a nice looking level . Love to see some little huts dotted around,love that little pool of water to .

Dave

Awesome work! Makes me want to go for a three hour tour... (many won't get that, I'm sure)

Beautiful looking level, Mookai.

This video is a reminder of why i need a new video card :/ lol

Really nice beach and level too!
Now I want to see zombies in a swimsuit. :-

3com

hahaha yes, bikini zombie babes...

this video inspired me for my own island thing, thank you! i'm working on this and i'll show you in a few days. it's not as good as yours but it's better than my last try.
i would like to see raptors and bikini zombies, that would be very unusual or bikini raptors.


actually i have to say that i did not really enjoy "dead island" so very much


ha ha, great. they also have the little green desktop buzzer

pretty girls with big guns at the beach that would be cool.
but who wants to shot a pretty girl... hmm not good.

they've also the amiga logo here, nice.
and the guru meditation in fpsc-r , I guess Lee is an AMIGA fan

Another beach... now with Zombies

Excellent work! And the mushroom was a nice touch.

Aren't you supposed to be working on a project by now?
Seriously this is awesome.

Keep up the good work.

how did you obatin the fog ??

The mushroom is just a placeholder at the moment, for the end of the level, but maybe I'll keep it

@mexell, yes this is hopefully the beginning of my project.
only have a few problems with the performance...

The fog? You can edit the fog settings when you're in the test mode, just press the tab key 2x and the menu will appear.
Where you can edit all the nice things, light, shadow, fog, grass, water, quality...

yes... but what settings you used to achieve that result??

I tried a lot but with not results...

reduce these settings could help:

fog nearest: 1
fog distance: 8-10
fog color: mid 40-60
fog intensity: 80-90

brightness: 12-18
contrast: 10-14

One more beach video for the collection.

really amazed... but the models are yours??

Thanks. Tis true the models are mine but when I have time I think I might but them in the store.

Another good one; and showing off possibilities for traversing areas in the map; via the rocket pack! Nice work!

Thanks. Wish I had a better handle on flying the jetpack - I crash more often then not. Would like to see a little more control.. .I'm probably missing something...

Some nice videos here. Nice to see what you can get with a top graphics card and a bit of time and effort

M2D; you've got to treat it like a helicopter's controls. WASD will give you directional flight; while tilting ahead or back will give you speed. Then; when landing....think of the old "Lunar Lander" games.

I wonder if Lunar Lander would be any fun in 3d. Actually, I've wondered if any of those old vector graphic games would be any fun if re-interpreted in 3d.
