To say this was a difficult video to edit would be an understatement. Very heavy on extra graphics throuout I have underestimated how long it's going to take me to finish it. I have not even intended this to be split into 3 separate videos and planned to release just 1 video, but the shear amount of time it took me to edit this changed my mind.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thumbnail was also quite a journey, it started by a simple shot I pulled out from the video which looked very promising and clean.. and as you can see bellow I was keep adding to it until it became very convoluted mess.. Eventually I realized this and managed to cleaned it up, deleted all the extra elements with the mini map, even the 2000km text.. and was left with pretty clean image similar to the initial screenshot with just me, the car and 2 bubbles of text. I have also added a bit of artistic filter to the whole image which not sure will help the performace but I sure like the colours so I decided to go with it for the final version.. also made the font a bit bolder and zoomed in a little bit to make it bigger. The final full video will be released Tomorrow as a premiere.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWS327k63NgRgmxN1xrmiIw7c0YT9QOndOclm9nqhnprqAX36B0wb-9T-4MJNKzhvXHlfrB3YIHqcpJGofoR6giiiOLnXjPqxYW2F1sCj_S4a_bx5jhL5fbRZsIPZDDNpbGa598S2bYb3x_reuPj9ktT4-he9NS9Y1MCbE83xLBlIXYgXi4GHZUjcAdcL2" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="3890" data-original-width="691" height="3609" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWS327k63NgRgmxN1xrmiIw7c0YT9QOndOclm9nqhnprqAX36B0wb-9T-4MJNKzhvXHlfrB3YIHqcpJGofoR6giiiOLnXjPqxYW2F1sCj_S4a_bx5jhL5fbRZsIPZDDNpbGa598S2bYb3x_reuPj9ktT4-he9NS9Y1MCbE83xLBlIXYgXi4GHZUjcAdcL2=w643-h3609" width="643" /></a><p></p>Killerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-57870333416659257942024-02-14T11:50:00.002+00:002024-02-15T10:10:00.357+00:005000 watch time hours, another milestone with my channel.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7n3o8uPew7Gb_yNDYwtmfYfUnf04FuwpCT_padI7FbqWlbmq4gf0maXuEHlCQCKhTt88kqgf7Dsrz_ipODG7Ld9h5EuZsHpILCBKBefWUDKqnz-ZzTyJZli_tUES7tYQ093QjL4Wff0QF6_lbz9UYd6VSu065vcTgqx9JZxxSXw8fVtwDRwHL8pvNNFtd" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="187" data-original-width="362" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7n3o8uPew7Gb_yNDYwtmfYfUnf04FuwpCT_padI7FbqWlbmq4gf0maXuEHlCQCKhTt88kqgf7Dsrz_ipODG7Ld9h5EuZsHpILCBKBefWUDKqnz-ZzTyJZli_tUES7tYQ093QjL4Wff0QF6_lbz9UYd6VSu065vcTgqx9JZxxSXw8fVtwDRwHL8pvNNFtd" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Hit this today, and in case you are wondering this is lifetime watch time hours.

It was shot over 2 days as after the first day I was not happy with the footage I got so decided to do a reshoot and basically repeated my tour again and tried to get better footage or the locations that I missed on my first day.. overall, the footage was not great, especially the part when I talk (the important part). That's why there is so much voiceover in the video and that is also what takes so much time when editing.. as well as try to put the semi-random footage from those 2 days together to some kind of coherent content that would have the beggining and the end.. In the end tho, I must say I'm quite happy how it turned out, just not how long it took me to get there.. especially the music choices in this one turned out quite nicely.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgF2GXu2yd8InmmlCho88eIMI5NgXwDNtY53Qy9eq47Xu73q_fD0x3kx07gdAelVkP9sJK7iU5e1czN56qA_jNYBqhWdQYdLGnA3VtgjTkRRZAOP3ZqBd7IlUqIPd_gGFDUZ3RaOFpDeBYf6-Bd1wXuA30RrBPNsT5Gj38VabLRnsuwTTGB8KeaisvSHLlS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="543" data-original-width="3513" height="94" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgF2GXu2yd8InmmlCho88eIMI5NgXwDNtY53Qy9eq47Xu73q_fD0x3kx07gdAelVkP9sJK7iU5e1czN56qA_jNYBqhWdQYdLGnA3VtgjTkRRZAOP3ZqBd7IlUqIPd_gGFDUZ3RaOFpDeBYf6-Bd1wXuA30RrBPNsT5Gj38VabLRnsuwTTGB8KeaisvSHLlS=w615-h94" width="615" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I still have quite a leftover footage and there were some drone shots used from a year ago, so maybe I will do a quick short and try to use some of that footage before moving on to the next video.

In May-June 2013 I have built myself a brand new computer since my old Dell XPS M1730 was over 5 and half years old and that was about the right time to get myself a brand new system. This time I decided to go with a deskop and I was curious about those fancy watercooling systems and if I could possibly build one of those myself...</div>

I spent around 5 hours (what Steam says is my Tilt Brush usage) all together with this.. turned out decent, but I made a few mistakes.. I have used a wrong tool for Mei and Satsuke "|some wire tool" which is very convenient to use because it has a volume and its a lot easier to prevent the effect which can be seen on Tototo's belly but this tool does not have shadows! I just noticed this morning when I woke up. Anyway, it was just a test to familiarise myself with Tilt Brush and even after just 5 hours of using it I was able to paint something. It is very intuitive to use, all you need is to figure out redo/undo shortcuts so you don't go to the left hand menu every time you made a wrong move and you are pretty much good to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are both models in Tilt Brush format if you would like to view it with your Vive headset:</div>

Here is something I've been working on for some time 3 months ago but haven't had much time to add anything in the last 3 months and never released it to public so here you go... my little clone of the Vlambears latest... or Nuclear Clone as I like to call it :-) It's a little game that I made when playing a lot of Nuclear Throne.</div>

You play as Chicken, my favorite character from Nuclear Throne, but there are no special abilities like slow-mo or head-less afterlife.. nor the katana (as melee weapons have not been implemented yet) and basically you have to kill everything in the level to get to the next one.. you know the drill.</div>

There are only 5 weapons, pistol, machine gun, mini gun, mega gun and grenade launcher. You can also pick up ammo boxes and health packs. Enemies also drops rads but there are no use for them at the moment... There are only 3 types of enemies and the game difficulty is increasing with every completed level so eventually you die sooner than later.. or maybe you will break the game if you manage to survive for long enough.. who knows. I personally managed to get to almost lv50.</div>

There are basic statistics implemented and the game saves them. There are also bugs, lots of them.. so sometimes the portal spawns outside of the map or enemies manages to escape out of playable map :) or your weapon will not shoot at the beginning.. and stuff like that.. just restart if something stupid happens.</div>

I have learned a ton doing this little copy-cat game.. also got a lot of cool ideas along the way how I could made it into something original.. the kind of isaac-nuclear throne-ftl mix game.. but who knows, I stopped working on this and then I went cycling around scotland and was away for almost a month so now when I'm finally back I may try and do some updates to it...</div>

I love Ridiculous Fishing and especially it's art style and as a 3D artist myself I was wondering how the game would look if they made it in 3D using this style... </div>
<div abp="1465" class=" PIN_1372901920414_hazClick">
<div abp="1466">
I haven't hesitated for long and after a couple of hours I had the basic model done when somebody (@johnkristinsson) recommended this site to get it 3d printed. So after another couple of days of hard work to carefully refining it for 3D printing (the flag did not break after all, woohoo!) and then about 3 weeks of waiting for it to be printed, this is the result.</div>
</div>
<div abp="1467">
I must say I'm pretty happy how it turned out and it sits on my shelf nicely :-)</div>
<div abp="1468">
<br /></div>
<div abp="1469">
Since the description and picture space on that site is limited and there is more information you should know about the model I wrote it in here:</div>
<div abp="1470">
<br /></div>
<div abp="1471">
1. This is not a toy. This is a 3D print from quite britle sandstonish material thats holding together by some coloured glue. If you drop it it will most likely break. It will sit on your table nicely though :)</div>
<div abp="1472">
If you want to read more about the material used check out this link: <a abp="1473" href="http://i.materialise.com/materials/multicolor">http://i.materialise.com/materials/multicolor</a></div>
<div abp="1474">
<br /></div>
<div abp="1475">
2. The model is not water-friendly and it will loses it's colours if it comes into contact with water (at least thats what they say about the material I have used for this model).</div>
<div abp="1476">
<br /></div>
<div abp="1477">
3. You will be placing an order with i.materialise.com and it will take about 10-15 days before they ship your 3d printed model. If you have any question regarding your order please contact i.materialise.com directly as I can't do anything about your order at all.</div>
<div abp="1478">
<br /></div>
<div abp="1479">
4. Your model might not be absolutely perfect. Due to the limitation of the printing process, material used, together with the small size of the model there might be some imperfections like tiny pointy features that break during printing or not survive the shipping process. (My model for example has broken tip of the bird's wing and tail. See pictures below for more details.)</div>

On the left is the model in its original size.. about 19cm from front to back but since that would cost about £150-200+ to print I had to seriously scale it down to the limit of what is still possible to print to make the price more reasonable. On the right is the cleaned and adjusted model thats 3D printing ready.. about 9cm long.</div>

Anyway, the phone is nice and very accessible with very impresive display. It took a few days to get used to it and learnt how to control it as this is my first apple piece of hardware ever.Killerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-44395542218743355602011-04-09T20:36:00.002+00:002011-04-09T20:37:33.448+00:00Learning classesNot much of an visible update, I was learning classes recently and it was quite overwhelming at first and now I'm trying to rewrite the code using them as I had none in my program, heh and quickly understood that I'm not going anywhere without them. Especially when I tried to do more inteligent enemies than the current placeholders that I have in my code. <br />
If anybody knows any good links/video/tutorials on classes I think I could still use more :) but I'm slowly getting into it... it's just not a simple subject to understand after a week of learning, it's more complex and it needs some time to practice.Killerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-25879823452998830772011-03-30T23:05:00.000+00:002011-03-30T23:05:21.480+00:00Just two sprites.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicgkRnN-t60R_G-fuF8u9dB5sg8DfKEGBlKu_ltPKgZ0NXPFnzWghXKLkWvHs8dUQhmLgAh2wZK-BNCMn5BQSiIUiWKUVDIFKXsZSNaTbKNRpWiNjQZO6oAxa2zaukkI_BCv5byPTS8ewh/s1600/unused_sprites.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicgkRnN-t60R_G-fuF8u9dB5sg8DfKEGBlKu_ltPKgZ0NXPFnzWghXKLkWvHs8dUQhmLgAh2wZK-BNCMn5BQSiIUiWKUVDIFKXsZSNaTbKNRpWiNjQZO6oAxa2zaukkI_BCv5byPTS8ewh/s320/unused_sprites.png" width="320" /></a></div>Just 2 my sprites I did earlier but haven't used them anywhere yet.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzN6zo7HwhKpLIx29oXHck35N5HWFvc8tSzKKI28x_TUiq2TioepwxNSPnv6XOJkL0t_8YS60pxEC8-FygE5aT332PObltufkXqCTVFsrRvsRa-MmEWmPqnHeNGuSFLuOqLtwHiBF86qd/s1600/cave1psdb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzN6zo7HwhKpLIx29oXHck35N5HWFvc8tSzKKI28x_TUiq2TioepwxNSPnv6XOJkL0t_8YS60pxEC8-FygE5aT332PObltufkXqCTVFsrRvsRa-MmEWmPqnHeNGuSFLuOqLtwHiBF86qd/s320/cave1psdb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>When I had this in photoshop I just drew my graphics on top of this. I used only 4 colours so it didn't take that long. I mostly did it just for the test, how it would look like instead of just repeating tile patterns. When I finished it was like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6br18zvQzTJ2ylASbk_I7evm0gmKYPo3FMjhvFeAO82LB1msYLAA0xumcrfRBGjODsU9UzXwuhawf_Y1pLF3XpenO_ii4ACqwCCUwbDi_BZq1LPC7F0FbdJDtXUVnT1jjmiL6QX-zNgr/s1600/cave1psda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6br18zvQzTJ2ylASbk_I7evm0gmKYPo3FMjhvFeAO82LB1msYLAA0xumcrfRBGjODsU9UzXwuhawf_Y1pLF3XpenO_ii4ACqwCCUwbDi_BZq1LPC7F0FbdJDtXUVnT1jjmiL6QX-zNgr/s320/cave1psda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I was quite happy with it, but I still thought I could add one more layer below, so I drew separate layer with the stuff that goes below:<br />

It will need some fine tuning and adding more details later but for now I'm quite happy with the outcome.Killerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com55tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-33374065482277081102011-03-27T22:17:00.003+00:002023-05-28T00:24:25.837+00:00The game - 7 weeks, graphics test<div id="watch-description-text"><div id="eow-description"><br />

This is my third video about making my little game and (hopefully) learning some c++ on the way.<br />
<br />
There has been a lot of progress recently,<br />
mainly the graphics layer which I did to test of the style how the game could look like.<br />
Next there is an ability to read signs and interact/chat with items/enemies,<br />
then there are destroyable blocks which (are horibly implemented, but works) can be shot with your weapon, and ofcourse I made player start without the weapon so you need to find and pick up the weapon first before you can use it.<br />
Then we have a "Main menu" and a "Pause menu" from which you can quit the game.<br />
and yes we have first signs of water... it's just a graphics for now, it does nothing water should do, but I still don't know what would be the best way how to do water.. hmm, need to think a lot more for longer period to figure it out somehow :3<br />
<br />
anyway there are bugs, mostly the whole collision detection system is one big bug -_- that I don't like.. <br />
<br />
and yes I almost forgot, I made this into a release if somebody would want to give it a try... (^_^)b here you go: link is in the youtube video<br />
<br />
any comments/critique/hints/hate mail welcome... <br />
<br />
BTW you can toggle thru debug modes with 'W' <br />
there are 5 modes:<br />
first just display some crap on top,<br />
second will show you the collision tiles,<br />
third will show the bounding boxes for player collision detection,<br />
fourth will make you fly and<br />
fifth will swich off the collisions so you can fly thru walls.</div>Killerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com44tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-59489615619602962362011-03-27T12:25:00.000+00:002011-03-27T12:25:22.615+00:00How to implement slopes!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/5w9I7tIjEvY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
Second video from my attempt to learn c++<br />
This time I tried to implement slopes!<br />
<br />
Something so trivial looking like slopes is actually pretty tricky task to do... my brain almost exploded till I finally figured it out how to do it :3<br />
<br />
I googled and googled and found a way with an array thingy attached to each slope tile telling how much should push the hero upwards but that sounded like a pretty over-complicated way to make an array for each slope tile so I went my own way and simply calculated how far is my characted inside of the slope tile on X axis, then simply adjusted Y axis by the same amount :D ...it was working for 45 degree slopes, then for 22.5 ones I just divided that amount by 2<br />
<br />
another byproduct with this method was that my heroine was snaped to the slopes like a magnet as soon as she entered the tile with a slope haha.. so I had to figure out the way how she can un-snap to be able to move freely and jump from the tiles and not be locked to it like a train to rails<br />
<br />
I finally managed to solve that as well, there are still some issues and the slope tiles can't be touched from the bottom and from the sides or bad things will happen -_-<br />
Only the 45 degree ones can be touched from the sides like you can see in the video in the top right part of the map.. and it took some huge effort to be able to do that, heh.. but my brain gave up on the rest xD<br />
<br />
The whole code is almost 1000 lines by nowKillerkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882978450013671832noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885252780739518491.post-8400857874472534872011-03-27T01:55:00.000+00:002011-03-27T01:55:52.775+00:00My first version of my game!After my first 2 weeks of c++ experience and my epic tictactoe program I have dicovered HGE (Haaf's Game Engine) and decided to give it a go as it looked as something very easy for somebody who knows very little about windows programming and started learning it... here is the outcome after another 2-3 weeks of work<br />

To open a window is not an easy task! But I found some good youtube tutorials from xoax here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/xoaxdotnet">http://www.youtube.com/user/xoaxdotnet</a> and in about 2 weeks time total from the beginning I was able to get out this:<br />
