@Windawz: Shadowplay is part of GFE, so I doubt it

It might be time to connect that phone to your PC and clear some space. :P

Well, I mentioned to Archie, Jessie and Scoots last night that I was going to make a point to sit down and read this 155 comment journal during breakfast.

Well, my breakfast is long gone and my coffee is cold. I've never read so much and learned so little.

It's kind of amazing...

I'm sorry to hear that, Strider. I know it's cliché to say, but when it comes down to making that particular decision, it must have been for the best.

Sorry to hear that you're having a bad run in general too. I won't pry of course, but just remember that although we're not ALL closely knit friends here on TWHL, I'm sure any one of us would wish you nothing but the best and do whatever possible to help you through it.

Take it easy, mate.

"Is The Core still going on? I haven't kept track of anything."

If by "still going on" you mean "sitting on a hard drive and being largely ignored for half a year" then yes. Yes it is.

Anything other than mapping it seems... I was completely burned out when the rebuild a classic competition dropped. I attempted to rekindle my love for mapping with that, which just killed the little inspiration I had left.

Been gaming and dadding more lately, rather than creating.

Glad to hear SMJ is still going. I honestly would love to get hands on and make my own little title, outside of Goldsource, but I have neither the time or the ability sadly.

"Urby and Archie claim to be working on The Core. But did you know they're actually sleeping instead?"

Haha! Sleeping? That's a laugh. :|

That's not to say we ARE working on The Core of course, but I'm certainly not bloody sleeping. :P

Glad to hear he's on the mend. I wish him and your family all the best mate.

Loving this rendition of the classic crossfire. I'd give it a solid four stars, but the sexy ass voice acting during the bombing run pushes it up by another point.

In all seriousness though, it's quite tits.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is hilariously broken. It makes for crazy coop games.

@JeffMOD: Interestingly enough, the map was called Convention Center

Rainbow Six Siege is frustratingly broken. It does not.

We had a lot of fun with terrorist hunt against AI, but I don't think we've ever won a PvP game that wasn't a fluke.

The error given by Xash3D is that there is no valid spawn point. You're missing an info_player_start entity.

EDIT: Having placed a player start and tested, it's not a bad start by any means. There are some nice small details, but some things are a little off. The doors for example, are just blocks that have been stuck onto the wall brushes, meaning they stick out and it just doesn't look right... You'd be better off setting them INTO the wall (Maybe add a door frame if you want to stick in a little more detail.)

But, as I said, certainly not a bad start.

I'm very much interested in this, purely from a parenting perspective. Come Hell or high water my daughter is going to be a gamer. The portability and Nintendo's track record for local multiplayer games (rather than resorting to online all the time) would be a plus.

I'm basically thinking the same about VR as I did with motion controls. It's an interesting gimmick.

Regarding the VIVE, technology is certainly advancing to interesting places, but it seems you need to pay a small fortune in order to try it. Even then, the games that utilise it are barely games at all. They're just room sized apps that you piss around in.

Good to hear from you mate, and overall it sounds like things are on the up! Sure you only know one person in the year, but you'll make new friends / connections for when you're finished.

Also, break ups suck, but you've gotta think of the opportunities you now have for future relationships. Not what you want to hear right now most likely, but in time... yeah. :)

Happy 20th Valve. I hope you start making games again at some point... It's been three years since you did anything vaguely interesting for me...

Updated the map title. Not sure as to why you made this exclusive to Heart of Evil... but whatever. :P

they think buying on Steam is a scam, because "prices are higher than the tag says so"

Uhm... why? :P

Spare a thought for those of us who LIVE in England and voted to stay in the EU...

If I wanted to remain the EU now, I would have to leave England, my homeland, which I presume will now become a lot harder to do.

From a level design perspective, regarding the vents in We've Got Hostiles. I would say these were removed after play testers ran into line of sight of the turret and attempted to break the cover, subsequently getting shot to pieces and complaining.

I'll likely recycle my TWHL-WORLD assets. (A lot of them were recycled anyway)

I'm so sorry to hear that, but at the same time I'm happy you've had this revelation.

For me personally, I love telling stories and mapping kind of slips into that quite neatly. I've always been a gamer and doubt I'll ever stop, but who knows what the future holds.

Either way, I wish you all the best with everything you pursue in future, and hope to still see you around from time to time.

Good to see an update from you Rimmeh. I'm sorry to hear that you've had a rough time of it, but I'm glad your life is heading in the right direction and you're all in good health. :)

I always keep my eyes open for SMJ updates on IndieDB and hope to play more of it whenever I possibly can. :D

Newp. I'll likely just post a link in the shoutbox when I'm doing anything Half Life related. I should be able to get an hour or two in on the weekdays. Weekends are anyone's guess. I'm kinda restricted to when my daughter is sleeping. :P
Commented 7 years ago2016-06-01 20:51:04 UTC in journal: #8707 Comment #44119
Yeah, not decided yet. Will likely be the core.

Edit: assuming my daughter stops screaming...

Edit2: Yeah... It's not happening tonight. :|
Commented 7 years ago2016-06-01 14:18:11 UTC in journal: #8707 Comment #44118
I'll probably be mapping tonight between 10pm and midnight GMT. I'll probably do some mapping for TWHL World as I really need to finish that...

I've drafted a review for HRaFD many times. Tell you what, I'm going to get it done tonight. (At least the writing and recording part)

Hmmm, seems the extra day we got this year is actually nightmare fuel. That explains so much...

(A good birthday I mean. Don't have a good hat. Unless you actually get a hat. In which case I DO wish you a good hat as well.)
