Heh, that's about 4rd-5th on the priority list for now, so it will probably be a while, if at all . If anyone cares, my 5 top list of games and their priority is:
1) PoPR
2) Ancient Rome based on PoPR Engine
3) Modern Conflict
4) Cops
5) This is a hard one...tie between Ancient Egypt based on PoPR Engine and WWII FPS

Quote: "I eagerly await the next update."

Cool, I'll try to have one soon .

Quote: "I don't. I await Gil's Untitled articles. "

Well hopefully you won't have to await much longer .

Yes, I'll help you out, but please don't spam my thread, use the edit button or email me.

I'll help you learn the concepts that will allow you to do that, but I won't do it for you.

Texturing depends on the program you use.

Quote: "By Any chance could i please have a copy of your world editor >.< i trying to make a game but i no goo at coding so i dont know how make world editor and yours looks best"

Even if I gave it to you, it only works with the PoPR Engine, you won't be able to make your own games with it. And noone is any good at coding when they first start, you have to learn like everyone else. Now, any more questions email me, don't spam again.


@Everyone: Ok, here's a status update. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was gone for a week skiing, spent a week working on other projects, and with PoPR I am having to force my way through programming the world editor menus for the new talk system, because I hate doing menu stuff . I'll probably get it done this weekend and will post a new video.

NEW VIDEO AND UPDATE
Hey, after about 4-5 hours every day bug squashing and optimizing PoPR, I've finally got a video up that is basically just a summation of most all the features of the game so that they aren't spread out across 12 months of development time and 12 different videos . No new content yet, the talk system is still not changed yet, I'm hoping to do that this weekend and/or next week. I've captioned it with comments and done music again, since that seemed to get a good response last time. Let me know what you think .

High Quality (RECOMMENDED)

Feels like Morrowind, in a way, (not like it's heavily disappointing sequel, Oblivion, or its bland predecessor, Daggerfall). Of course it doesn't mean you'll equal that game, but hey, the feel is important and this game feels in-depth. Always good for free-roaming games.

I lolled three times.

Thanks . Song is Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park, lol, it's mentioned in the video twice, once in the credits and once in the intro .

Thanks . I really wanted to lay it all out there at once (or most of it at least) in one video .

Next is improving the talk system to include dynamic responses and topics and in certain cases, NPC's initiating conversation. After that, probably switching the camera collision system to Sparky's from DarkPhysics (because it's much faster) as part of optimization of the engine, and then AI and quest functions .

Sounds like you did a good job Gil. I'm DL'ing video as I type this - unfortunately I have been working like a dog coding for work so I haven't been able to work on Iron Infantry much myself - but I digress.


Did I read above that Sparky's Collision faster than DarkPhysics? Does this hold true for RayCasting also?

Thanx in advance.... Oh and Linkin Park igood music LOL

Heh, well I have a lot of time on my hands (for now, at least ), so I can get quite a bit done if I really want to . Let me know what you think of the video when you watch it.

Quote: "Did I read above that Sparky's Collision faster than DarkPhysics? Does this hold true for RayCasting also?"

I'm not sure DP even does raycasting, does it? If it does, then I would guess so, it's a lot faster than the native DBP commands as well. It takes about 20 seconds right now to setup the small amount of terrain that I have so far with collision for DP, and about 1-2 seconds for Sparky's, lol.

Quote: "Thanx in advance.... Oh and Linkin Park igood music LOL "

Lol, yeah .

Quote: "Really nice Gil, I like how this project is coming along."

Thanks, it's good to see I have so many supporters for it .

Quote: "Linkin Park (L).

My taste is always right, it's just rarely that your taste is right to match my taste .

Lol, no problem .

Looks great! only complaint is you didn't use that terrain feature of yours too much, the place was flat, except for that one hill. Also, I recommend fading in to, and out of black when entering/exiting a building, you can see everything load up currently.

Yeah, it's just that right now the NPC AI doesnt' really like hills, so I try to avoid them as much as possible . And yeah, good idea with fading to black, I'll have to do that.

Well, with some inspiration and help from Umbra, I've learned that a simple retexturing and some nice lighting of a model can make a huge difference. The following models are almost identical in polygons and only about a .2 second difference in loading time:

Original:


Retextured:


Hopefully Umbra and I will be able to make all the buildings and models improved by this much, because this is definitely a great style that fits the game and keeps poly count low.

That is an amazing improvement. If you can make all the buildings that good, PoPR will look as professional as the programming behind it.

Gil feels bad doubleposting, so he asked me to post here. Unfortunately for him, I couldn't figure out anything better to post than this. My apologies to anyone annoyed by this, blame Gil. On the other hand, this allows him to post an update to this wonderful project, so thank me. The result: Blame Gil, thank me .

I have no idea what Rami is talking about, he's obviosly rambling on again . But, coincidentally, I do have a small update, I've (with the help of Umbra again) retextured the shipyard now.

Quote: "Woot! Looks nice, though I want some in game pics!"

Thanks, well when I get more objects and all the buildings converted, I'll probably post up a video of them in game .

So I have a question for all of you, because I'm curious. I haven't quite decided yet how I'm going to release the product. I know that I want a demo version, but I don't know how much I want in that demo version or how to restrict it. And then I want a version that you would buy, but I don't know what extras it would have and how much to sell it for. So I really have two questions: How would you suggest I distribute it, what restrictions should the demo have? Second, how much would you be willing to pay for 5 professions, about 12 quests each (I would venture to guess that would be about 12+ hours gameplay), with the updated graphics? Like I said, I'm going to have a free version no matter what, so even if you tell me $30, that doesn't mean I'll sell it for that much . I don't even know if I want a version that you have to buy.

How about a timed demo with a few quests, so the demo isn't really "do whatever you want" type of thing, just a few quests.

I think one or two quests - not to easy - not to hard - with limited "walk about" - make those quests doable in the "starter town" and maybe a few fights outside - but again - not let them go too far.. save the other stuff for the pay game. But I would make a theatrical "finish" for the first or second quest - whatever you allow - to entice them to continue one. Try to get them feeling like they are making progress - and let them get the joys of completing a few things - to help entice them to want to continue on. Add screen shots of where their next quest will take them etc.
