Station - Twitch Development Created 7 years ago2017-05-07 15:10:31 UTC by Tetsu0

Hey all! As some or many of you may know, I've been streaming on Twitch.Tv for a few weeks (Tuesdays and Sundays) and I've been making some progress on my map every week.

--- My Channel ---

You can also check out some past streams there.

I think i'll just create a thread here to outline the progress of this map. This thread will serve as a WIP screenshot dump, stream update center and I would also love to hear any comments and suggestions about the map, it's design / layout etc..

So! First post will outline what happened in today's stream (May 7th, 2017)

There were some technical difficulties today because i was working with my laptop - AKA sound didn't work for about 20 minutes and then HL2 took over the stream for some reason and I didn't catch it.. HOWEVER progress was made and I'm overall happy with today's results.

1) I outlined the storyline and got some of the main storyline events written and also listed some assets i need to create to finish the map.2) I sketched out the communication terminal asset that will be used throughout the map. I don't want to just use the combine one because well, this is a Black Mesa installation - however the idea is borrowed from combine technology3) Did a block layout of the station and its sections in hammer to get an idea for the scale and flow of the level. I also added in the airlock locations.4) Created building blocks of connecting hallways, station sections, joints and windows. Shown here is every one of those connected together:5) Compiled and ran it!Tune in next tuesday for more developmental goodness!

This one was your best stream I think. The most interesting part is when you was making 45 degree rotated windows.
See you on the next stream!

I'm gonna have to try and catch one of these streams!

I think I will likely stream my next project as much as possible as well. I always enjoyed streaming my work on TWHL World and people seemed to like watching and getting involved in the discussion.

my next project

"The Core" I guess?

That would be my current project.

Hey all

Had something come up tonight. I'll be streaming tomorrow night at 8:00pm EDT (20:00)

I don't always double-post, but when I do, It's Dos Equis I'm streaming! Well In about a half-hour.

Tune in earlier than that (now-ish) to watch me faff about with blender scaling.

I'd like to give a special shout out to Comcast for ruining tonight's stream.We pay for 200... we're getting 1.75..

Sorry guys

1.79 Mbps download

Relax, I have 450 Kbps download speed. Had 350 before.

Lol Tet. I almost have the same speed, just flipped (10.8 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up).

And that's the max I can get.

Stupid Hetalia...

Well I pay close to $120 USD per month for the fastest internet annnd well I get that. So it's frustrating when stuff doesn't work

Anyway all is not lost, we made some progress in the last stream.

Got some of the console modeled up.Also did a quick mock up of some of additional station areas.
The modular design i have works quite nicely - it takes very little effort to connect sections together

It's not good if one part of the level looks almost the same as the other one.
Why wouldn't you make each part of the station look different?

Doesn't mean individual areas can't be tweaked later.

True. Sometimes I say stupid things.

Well if you think about modern industry and engineering, it's way simpler to reuse pre fabbed standardized units. Like the ISS. Of course the interiors are going to be different but the outside structure is going to be standardized shapes probably with different paint schemes

@tetsou
would u like to create a video YouTube tutorial about imporating Blender 3D model to Half-Life 2 (source sdk) ?

Are you going to stream today, Tet?

EDIT: Ok it's 2:23 and it seems you aren't.

Hey guys. I'm in Florida at a friends place setting up the rest of my life down here. I have learned last week that my laptop is not properly equipped to stream reliably.

My schedule will be messed up for a few days but i'll be back streaming in a few days.

Thanks for your patience and interest

Did I say I will wait as much as you need? =)

I appreciate it Windawz

I would love to do that - just gotta find the time soon.

Hey all

I've seen some shouts that people have been missing streams - you haven't been missing anything.

I'm moving across the country this coming sunday and i've been preparing for that for the past few weeks.

The streams will pick up once again when I have my life in order at my new destination.

Thanks all for your patience and interest.

Still waiting.
