Anyway, I have worked on 6d for 2 hours this weekend and tied up the loose ends. I tried skinning my Guardian model, but I'm happy with this solid chrome skin I stumbled across. It makes them look nicer and more mysterious. I also tied up all of the sounds too, so I think I can perhaps release the 6D Dev Mod sometime this weak. Maybe write a guide for the setup first, but it has to be this week if it were to come out at all for the next 4 weeks. School will be out for the holidays and so will be my internet.
Any more development is going towards themeing. Each area has a few props and a skybox, as well as texturing. Easy stuff.
Then I will release an update to the Devmod and I'll continue to build the game itself.
I hope to see some maps made for this. If you are mapping, hold off until you get the full package then kinda format it.

Can't fix stupid...
Anyway:
I wanted to mention if anyone makes up an element that is versitile and a worthy fun-aspect, let me know please.... or keep it to yourself and be a whore.
I also need to find a way to work in my wormhole triggers, I may not find too much use for them other than in-stage teleports.
The next video will be a big one, because I have a whole-lot more to show.
Probably won't be done for atleast 2 or 3 weeks.
I THOUGHT OF A STORYLINE?
Yeah, i actually thought of a unique storyline that places all this into perspective and have a whole-lot of meaning. It needs work, but I'll post when I can type one up. It came to me as I was working on one of my finals.
Be patient, please.

The movie is of poor compression quality, un-editted, uncensored, and all that good stuff.
I didn't feel like doing anything fancy, just some reality for a change while shoing off my gaurdian models.
The sound sucks on the video, but they are of nice quality in game. Especially since i got Audition 2.
You guys have subwoofers?

It looks like having to face those things without a weapon would be incredibly difficult, not to mention frustrating, seeing how many times you died.

Lol, too hard? 
You keep dying...
How the heck did you do that "zoom in" effect at level start? Spirit feature?
No subwoofer for me...

If he have weapon models they would go black when he jumps. weapons would ruin this mod! Rimrook told you that there are other ways to kill these fuckers so let's stick to that!
I haven't watched the video yet, I will now!
Watched it now!
WOW!
But I got a suggestion. How about you only add 1 guardian a level?
That way it's hard but still possible!

Sorry but I don't like it...Nice design and all but enemies like that will only force players to skip the level.
Offer the player a means of destroying them easily rather than allowing them to be shot to death.

1: Two on a small level like that is much too difficult, normally there is one.
2: They're not hard to kill, i killed them a few times in the video, and they don't shoot as often as they should.
3: Those guardians move on some random nodes. I can restrict there movement using nodes, and also I can make them stationary which is easy to avoid them and kill.
4: I based them roughly on the manhack from HL2. I was gonna decompile one, but decided not to.
5: The zoom effect is a script.cfg using the default_fov console command. I use spirit's trigger_command to 'exec portout.cfg' and 'exec portin.cfg' at the start and finish of each level, as well tag a 'save quick' at the end of the portout. I also (if ANYONE has noticed yet) i faded the HUD in using the 'hud_color' command. Its kinda complicated, but its simply manipulating the numbers using console commands.
6: Habboi has a point, but guardians will appear later in the game, and will have better conditions to destroy them. ITS A PUZZLE GAME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! think MacGuyver, not Freeman.

I was kidding about the rocket launcher. I know there's no weapons, but those 2 guardians seemed a bit much. I didnt notice you kill them in the video? Was that when you rotated the block into the guardian?

@Kasperg: Probably.
z0mg orpheus said something funny! i actually lol'd!
Guardians stay. Bottomline.
Here's a blip of the story.
90% of the race is all female, few men are left, and only a handful are architects which means they are godlike with the psyonic powers to build lots of structures rather quickly. You play as Seidon, son of a architect named Temnius. Your father recently died and left his legacy (riches, treasure, rare technology, knowledge, his power, etc) in a secret place that the architects stashed their stuff. Its guarded by a network of puzzles. In a nutshell, you're going to raid the stash, left how to use the inert power within, and learn of your father because your a bastard.
The bulk of the game will revolve around a hub, that branches off into each area, as well as clock your progress. This acts like a big padlock to open the chamber of architects. I'll just kinda go on from there. Things are still in the works.

i knew you'd like that Kas, but that's not why i came up with it that way. I just thought of a generic idea, and the whole egyptian philosophy was that architects were "gods" so i played off of some history.
And there aren't enough realistic women in games anymore. Its all DoA beach volley ball and springy model physics.

I don't know much more than that. I was thinking of airdropping the player into a hidden area and have them explore a little to find the hub.
Something I've been thinking about his having your girlfriend aid you when you at the hub, she would give you hints and disclose bits of the story and such. But i think that would be kinda an awkward aspect to the game. I dunno... Think its necessary or not?

You know what I'd do?
Invent a character similar in function to the Chesire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. It would speak rethorically and would give you hints and phylosophical conversation. It would make more sense than a girlfriend who knows more than Tenmiu's own son. Think about it.

six d's is a bad idea for a logo, its too complicated for an icon image and is hard to read.
I'm not decorating the hub with D's. the letter D has nothing to do with the world. The people of the world of Sancefar don't know that the game is called 6D.
However, they decorate with the S pattern (for Sancefar as seen in the mapping and title screen.)

I wasn't going to reply but about a minute later while mapping I realised that you did provoke him to reply Rimrook because you replied to what he said and he replied to what you said.
Anyway that's Orph for you.
Back to the idea of those enemies...I think a turret version that floats and is stationary but rotates would suit it better. You can then run to either a switch that de-activates it or a safe zone that stops it while you stand there...Once you step out it starts up again...Like certain blocks are safe maybe?

if its stationary, hide behind something. I would put cover in if that was the case.
originally i was using the miniturret monster. until i realised you can turn them off completely. i looked through what i have available and controllers worked nicely.

If you remove the code that handles that homing-electric-ball, the controllers will never use that attack again.

that'd be nice, but i can't/don't-know-how to change the code, or do it properly for that matter...
why is the giant homing energy ball of death a bad thing? It doesn't do that much damage.
Regular Shot = 7 Dmg
Death Ball = 10 Dmg

You can also change the damge value of the ball in the cfg file:
// Controller

sk_controller_health2 "60"
sk_controller_health3 "100"
sk_controller_dmgzap1 "15"
sk_controller_dmgzap2 "25"

sk_controller_speedball1 "650"
sk_controller_speedball2 "800"
sk_controller_speedball3 "1000"
sk_controller_dmgball1 "3"
sk_controller_dmgball2 "4"
sk_controller_dmgball3 "5"
I don't know which controlls the deathball, but oh well.

Zap is the big one, speedball is how fast the ball flies at you, and dmgball is regular shots.
I can mess with these values more, maybe 3 or 4 dmg per hit as it already says. that sounds good.
EDIT: Maybe a little more, like 5 or 6, your health resets to 100 at the start of every level, and you won't find any medpacks along the way.

I'm not having the time to develop this, i got too many other things (like shopping, family, opening gifts, skyboxes, etc.) to care after.
I have developed minor things, like i did two new texture sets... which isn't much, since there are only 6 to 8 textures per theme. Its the models and skyboxes that are difficult.
I've been modelling some "gifts" for some friends around here.
Merry Christmas.
