Aye will do and good luck; I'm sure everything will turn out okay
Looks cool. Will the grass animate when you walk/run through it?
Best of luck!
This week added arcade machines to my game!, and to honor some more this community some of the screens seen in the arcade machines are from games from this thread! so you can check below some of the screens.
Arcade machines will help your crew cope with the long travel in space but everyone enjoys doing the same things, some may enjoy to play games, while other may enjoy running around, eating, gardening etc... many more activities to add so your crew can relax!
If you feel your game shouldn't be mentioned in mine let me know and I will remove the screen in those game machines, though in real life those machine are kind of extinct...
Good luck, man. Whatever good luck I have is yours.
Figured I'd show off a new screen from the game. Been working on getting the grass to look right at this angle and I think I have it solved. I think this screen turned out quite well.
If you're in North America, I highly recommend you either look into LegalZoom and/or talking to a lawyer. Anyone else is going to have to disclaimer legal advice. LegalZoom has services where you can talk to a lawyer familiar with your geographical area, your type of business, or whatever, and even help you review documents up to 10 pages. They also have a bunch of templates available for things like contract work and NDAs.Is anyone here knowledgeable about work for hire paperwork, NDA paperwork, etc, who would be willing to help me provide these forms to people? I may be able to find some templates and copy paste, but I'm not entirely comfortable with this process and am seeking guidance.
PM me please if you can be of help. Thank you.

If you have an account or time to make one, feel free to throw some votes in!
If you are just learning 3D development for free, UDK or Unity should be fine for you. Just know that the UDK community may not be very active anymore. If you have UDK questions you may need to do a lot of google searching on your own.
Finally got something game dev related to show again, I'm not so sure what will come out of it. I'm experimenting with painting with particles in UE4:
It was by accident that I discovered a way to do this. More on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/TocoGamescom
10 years ago there were no GPU particles that can collide with the world nor post effect materials.
Unfinished Swan popped to mind instantly, there it is done all with decals as far as I know. What other games are you thinking of that do something similar? The workflow for high poly to low poly is usually to make a seperate low poly mesh. When you need that polypaint you have to stick with that high poly mesh and bake that in the low poly. The high poly uvw can be generated quickly in Zbrush since that is only for baking. But depending on your polycount you might end up with a really big file. XNormal is quite good at baking very high poly meshes though and it can also read polypaint vertex colors but I had problems with that in the past.

It's true, but then, it's all about the design of the game, this in itself is just an effect. In Unfinished Swan, you basically only use it to navigate the environment, and that's it, so this explains the need for introducing other mechanics once you've got that one figured out. There's arguably an aesthetic component as well, but if you're not into painting your surrounding, this has no effect on your path/play.
The idea I had back then involved temperature scales - color would actually represent a combination of type of texture to the touch, and temperature, and you were meant to "feel" your way around your environment by touching (not throwing) in front of you. Touching surfaces that were too hot or cold would damage your sensibility and you would subsequently lose some of your perception power, having to rely on longer presses to get more of the environment revealed. Anyway, those are the bare basics of the idea, but I still think you can build a whole varied design around that single effect and have it work for quite some time
I've never played Shovel Knight, which is probably a great game. However, one thing looks a little weird from that screenshot -- even the real platforms still seem to be floating in midair, attached to the sky, with rain behind them. I would think a real true platform would prevent rain from falling behind it.I'm cautiously optimistic. Even Unfinished Swan, which was by no means a lengthy game, switched to other gimmicks in the second chapter.
That said, something I like that this is similar to is whenever rain-like effects expose otherwise invisible geometry. An example is in this scene in Shovel Knight, where some of the platforms are false. Note that the effect is more apparent in motion.
I've always used Chris Taylor's template as a base and modified it to my game's needs.

That art is really amazing. Truly.
Which is awesome!
Heyy hey, you are here too
So I'll try to come back here regularly with updates!
