Use sprite fixer to orient a sprite.

This one really required a lot of creativity :/
It might have been better as a full compo but the compo itself was a little left-field. It had to have a bunch of rules to make sure things were in the common style.

Submit what you have anyway.
Just post what you have. Any one of you could win something, otherwise you're just rolling over and taking it in the ass.
This is like turning in an unfinished homework assignment at school. Do you turn in what you have for a 30%-50% grade, or do you get a 0% because you don't want to experience any embarrassment?
This compo was actually a homework assignment I got in college a long time ago. I failed it so poorly that I left the class and went home. The stuff I've seen from TWHL puts everyone in that class to shame so man up and show your shit. Everyone should be proud of what they did, even if they just dabbled in it.

3 entries? Really?
I know Zeeba-G, Victor Paiva, Brendamint, Crypt, Tetsu0, and Tremplar all have SOMETHING to show for this...

Everyone, put your Hammers down. The competition is over. Submit it to the vault, finished or not. We'll look at everything and judge based on the criteria we promised to judge. Anyone can still win.
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone!
Last work day guys. Hope you all have something...
Oh yay a reason to play minecraft 
I've been planning some really comfortably sized houses in creative for a while. So far I like my tiny 9x9 house.

Is the server getting a fresh new world?
too fuckin early. look at all that sunshine I'm not enjoying.
Clock is ticking...
So what's going on with this thing?
The LBAR2 rocket got a makeover.
I have a ways to go before this is released. I'm trying to get end-game stats working and get nav meshes to not suck.
Yeah a Colors competition will be held at Gamebanana after this.
heh.
Fat cat lives, back from his adventures in outer space I see.

These are all default render settings.
It's a real product. http://cleanmachineonline.com/
- Insert a sky light, intensity at 0.5
- Turn on Light Tracer in the advanced rendering tab in the rendering options.
- Set a directional light (0.5 intensity also) with Area Shadows on at 0 shadow bias.
- A back light for a little glare, no shadows.
- Render.

Start cracking the whip!

So, this is some kind of fancy to-do list? I'm not understanding why it's described with so much emphasis on artwork...
I actually use Any.Do the chrome/desktop app to sort my days and track my jobs.

I think you guys should know about this.
Made a download for that one since I never finished my compo entry. Basically I was happy with the model.

I think this was brought up a while ago. It was a part of a texture alignment gizmo or something if I recall.
ugh, i haven't modeled anything in a long time.
Last ting I finished was a character for Compo33.
Some of the best practice is stuff you do for challenges like on CGSociety or Zbrush Central.

Those colors really do work well for you.
I hope you're doing more than just blocks though.

Maybe we can do it anyway as long as the idea is run through a series of test chambers and Atom and I think it's a quality idea. How did we handle it before anyway?
I think that was mentioned but we never made any sort of official decision on it. Perhaps we should think about it.
I don't know, run rad and find out.
It isn't for the compo so carry on what you guys are doing. I was just considering expanding the wad and resources for fun purposes.
As for the next compo idea, if there is one, I have no idea what kind of compo it will be.

Yeah texlights. It's a loose idea for a random resource.
About 10 days left guys.
I was thinking for fun and simply for the sake of further experimentation, I could add a bunch of lights to the colors.wad so people can play around with both color and light.

Better than how it looks when I run it. The whole thing chugs pretty bad, so Source2 is a no for me right now. That was to be expected anyway.
At least the lighting is nice.
Alberto, send what you have to windmasterben@gmail.com and I'll do private feedback with you before the deadline. Everyone has this option and, now more than ever I suggest you seize the opportunity.
There's gotta be more than CT, Atom, and I wanting to bump the date.
@CT: I only just given you your half-way feedback. If just the exact same entry I just looked at, that would be disappointing.
Keeping the current date. Get your submitted to the vault before or on AUGUST 22nd.
SO THAT'S TWO WEEKS! YOU SHOULD FEEL SOME PRESSURE NOW! ARE MY CAPS WORKING?

Atom also needs to agree as well as more votes.
Ok, so maybe I should bump the due date to this friday the 15th?
Don't blame Atom and I for giving you too much time. I know things get in the way and this is exactly why I gave a lot of time. Learn to manage your tasks and time better if you keep having problems, it's a good skill to have.
I've recieved [b]ONE[/b] email so far. You guys must be doing pretty good yeah?
That would be cool chaos.
I'm actually trying to tie up my loose ends. Finishing the SMJ script is a big turning point in which I need to redirect my focus solely to that. Also, people are asking about the next Let's Build A Rocket in the messages of the SMJ facebook page, I consider that a loose end. I will make LBAR2 then focus my efforts on SMJ after all of the proofreading. I wish I wasn't the secretive type, I would describe some of the stuff I've made with full control over every aspect of a game rather than mapping and scripting for an already made game. I think good surprises are what makes a game memorable, why ruin that? I just need to focus on getting SMJ as well developed as possible. If I diversify too much, SMJ suffers. It's also difficult to show a lot of this stuff on a portfolio.

New gameplay from the modding community is ALWAYS out there. I mean, just look at some of the stuff I came up with. King of the Hill for HLDM, as well as Capture Points, Rat Hunt, even the Junk Machine for L4D2 that lets people build in a game that doesn't natively feature grabbing phys-objects, just to name a few.
DOTA came from a custom map IceFrog made for Warcraft III, which even then was based on Aeon of Strife from Starcraft. Now its a multi-million dollar sport.

I love that the new hammer is WYSIWYG. The build time doesn't seem too long considering what it would take to compile a massive and detailed map.
This is a cool video showing things.

O_O pretty.
[i]SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT[/i]
I said a while ago that around August 6th, I'd make a special announcement. It's the 8th and I have a bit of time over the weekend to do this so here goes.
Any of you who have seen Face Off or Jim Henson's Creature Shop knows how this works. Lyssa and I will give a little half-way help where you privately send me what you have so far and I will make some comments/suggestions about your work so you can improve it before finally entering. This will not be biased in any way and it's a great way to make sure your idea is fully realized or at least feeling like a completed idea.
Email your WIP's to windmasterben@gmail.com and say a few things about it so I know from you what's going on. You get one email in return from me with my response and feedback. This help, of course, is optional but it is recommended.
Hope to be talking to you guys soon!

I think people were losing interest before that. We included source to open up more potential and let more people join if they wanted to.
Also, the gap between the two engines, given the parameters of the compo, isn't very apparent unless you're using engine specific things.

Tremplar found a bit of design language
That's the third version.
The second is the LB2 core with some stuff to play with, not a real map of sorts.
The first version is this here you may remember.
The current version has 341 entities involved and takes up 51% of the ent_data limit. From what I understand, source maps can go over 100% but it's an arbitrary limit that suggests a mapper shouldn't go over for the sake of performance standards. However most of the entities are point entities and aren't visual so the FPS stays nice, and the limit actually doesn't apply properly to what I've made. :/
