OK! I got around to checking this out.
+ Excellent contruction. + Great color sense and textures. + Great ambience and lighting. + Zappy Cannon. + Amazing details, like the butterflies and leaves.
? I don't know why, but it felt like the sky was too low and it felt like it blocked me from going where I wanted to. Noclipping to the top of the big island I immediately thought that something could have been done up there besides what you did.
- A part of the main island with the spinning generator is cut off by the sky box. This happens in a few areas else where too. With the excellent brushwork, I'm genuinely curious why you didn't make the islands more free floating in the skybox.
- The elevator had a purple checker texture in the shaft. Might be just me.
Overall - 5 just because I like it that much.
EDIT: Should have read the previous comments first... lol. So save some nodes, you could have the bottom portions of the islands, like below the point of no return, have them be illusionary and then use simpler clip brushes to make them solid to players.
To fade out your waterfalls, extend them as far as your max viewable distance is set. They can go outside the skybox, they will still render because a part of them will be visible. At the bottom, VM them into a point, and it will give the illusion that it goes on forever.

Declining the payment is done on the seller's side of things, and not everyone does it. The charity wouldn't want an amount to be blocked after I got the games, it'd be fraudulent.

I would love to work for a studio or company, its means at least some job security.
Sadly, in key points of my career development, things were missed. Being a high-tech based industry, I didn't have a computer that could run Source for a loooong time, or I couldn't get the tools everyone was learning like Zbrush. Simply I couldn't keep up with what I had at the time and it's set me back so much to the point where I'm nearly undesirable. I'm making a game in hopes that it would simply float and people enjoy it. I would like to make money, but seriously it features real people. All of whom I have not acquired photo-release forms from and I have no clue what legal bounds I have either selling the game in anyway, or if it can even be sold.
Even then, I see a lot of super successful titles being campaigned on kickstarter or similar. I tried and my campaign flopped for semi-political reasons. I didn't make a dime. I haven't gotten donations in forever and it seems like no one is even paying attention to it, or I don't see it or something. Feels like I have no support but I just keep working on it anyway.

TWHL has sorta been a home away from home. Some people have seen me from being new to mapping, through college, and until now. You guys are like family so I feel confident to post this kind of stuff here.

Hey Guys, It's Lyssa, I thought I would Field a few of these questions.
Soup Miner- I Cannot take the Birth control Pill Due to the fact that I am intolerant to non biological hormones, AKA the Pill sends me off the deep end. That was one of the reasons I got the IUD when I was 21 in the first place. My medications (that I was taking back then) interfered with the effectiveness of the pill, so I stopped taking it, and when I tried to start again, it went badly, so the IUD was the Birth Control of Choice.
Striker- Trust me, he DOES do that. And I do the same to him. (this is probably TMI but we are past that I think) If you are with a Girlfriend, would you REALLY not want to have sex again, like ever after having free roam for 4 years? We are engaged to be married..that's a LONG time to go without sex, and I am paranoid enough that I won't let him near me with anything that can make babies unless there is some sort of fail safe. As for testosterone levels, they should not be effected as not all testosterone is produced in the testes, some is also produced in the adrenal glands. The only thing he would lose would be his swimmers. He would still have a normal ejaculate, just sans swimmers.
Stojke- 26 is too young? I am 28. What would you consider "old Enough" exactly? I mean I understand the doctors fighting me when I was 21, but I will be 30 in 2 years. So....yeah.
2muchvideogames- I personally have never wanted children due to the really shitty medical genetics I have been given. I don't think you were around when I had the Brain Surgery, but my Father has a small mass in the opposite side of the head (Mine was vascular not a "mass" but for lack of a better word) And That it is most likely that even though the AVM I had only occurs in 1% of the population, there is a chance our child could have one as well. I also have other genetic illnesses that are VERY difficult to deal with due to the fact that genetic illnesses is harder to treat with medicine that say just a chemically related illness. Not to mention I am intolerant to over 50 CATEGORIES of medications (we estimate 500 actual medicines in all) and that just sucks. My Father has the same thing, so the chance of a child getting my genetic grab bag are high Aside from that I am also Phobic of pregnancy. The movie Alien comes to mind. Rim personally just doesn't want children. He feels his life is fulfilled enough and he just doesn't feel his life would be better of for having kids then it is now. If that makes sense. Kids aren't for everyone you know?
I just wanted to say that this is really hard for Rim. He is getting a LOT of flack about this. We aren't exactly sure why. I mean hell my mother is trying to subject me to a dangerous surgery (another one) instead of supporting us in this. Rim came here for the support of friends that have always been there for him. And he really does appreciate the support. Hell he still thinks Fondly on the Bazooka you all made him after the Kidney stone issues. So while I don't mind answering these questions as they are valid, I just wanted to say that he really does value your support.
Hope that clears it all up.

They let me film at the gala event but they placed me back behind the photographers which they all kept fucking up my shot. This one British lady was super bad because she just leaned right before my lens like I wasn't even there and blocked the view for a dozen other people also recording the show. If she does it tonight, I do have a nifty tripod that is sturdy enough to double as an extendable baton. Either way, it was cool because they announced me all awesome and shit. Even though anyone can film the main show, they asked me to form the DVD. So everyone who filmed is also a potential alternate camera angle if they volunteer their videos. Most will I think, I know many of them and could ask. My battery ran out half way through so I was scrambling to grab footage on my backups. The show tonight is twice as long to that worries me so I have a long day of unloading and recharging since I can't do much else. If that bitch blocks my shot again tonight, she's getting bludgeoned.

Can't be together, too perfect? seriously? That's as shitty of a reason as "you're not the one."
If you were a couple, you'd work it out somehow. Start doing some minor forgivable fuck ups ;] If you let her go with that as the reason, thats bullshit and you can't let that slide if you really like her. You can't tell a woman you care about her, YOU HAVE TO SHOW HER! and it doesn't need to be grandiose like in the movies, though if you can pull something off like that, go for it. Women love movies.
Some girls like assholes. They do that because something on the inside is damaged or missing. Its a loophole in feminine psychology that they want the outside situation to match their inside. Men are nearly opposite so we don't understand it, but it's safe to simply know about it. If you talk and get to know this estranged side of her, you could be able to let her know that she can be happy, and that perhaps she deserves to be happy, and give things a chance.

Upon looking at the dates, there was a span of only 5 hours between having the money and the paycheck I got after that. Impeccable timing >:[
Lemme try again. I wasn't super clear on things.
1: Donated $5 for Sims3. Worthit.
2: $5 pended on my statement but was cancelled. It was the charity's way of confirming legitimacy.
3: I spent all of the my money on rent so I had $0.83 left in my bank.
4: Donation finalizes and goes through, charging me $5 I don't have.
5: Bank charges me $35 in overdraft penalties.
How old are you guys? Do you even remember what its like not having a computer?
Its a secret message anagram... Icy Doll of Fail.
Let me know if you want a role in SMJ, I have so many spots still available.

I'm still considered young for this, but given circumstances, I'm old enough.
