InfinityAlex Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think that I would be a freshman if I had an American education. I'm just a little older than Poe, so I think we would---Ah, who cares?! I get a free period every week anyway so I'm happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroPiranha Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Is there a date announced yet? Sadly, none that we know of. As for this year's SAGE, I've got nothing save for a few ideas (hint hint lol). Oh well, I guess that gives me another year to bring them to life.

Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 @AstroPiranha I've heard quite a bit of speculation that it will take place mid september. Not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Where exactly have you heard all this? I'd definitely like to know so I can know exactly when to start panicking and re-gain my inferiority complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Just a few people here and there, a few from ssrg, normal conversations trying to figure it out and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 To be fairly honest, I have absolutely no problem with it taking place next month. That gives me plenty of time to wrap up Maze -o- Matic and finally be done with it. (Seriously, just working with that game was a nightmare.)

Mr. Potatobadger Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yea, to be honest, if it takes place then, I think I will be able to fit a one zone level in by that time. I'm not sure if I should still. Everything improves with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Last year's SAGE was actually a big deal for me because it was the first one I had ever attended, let alone participated in as a game creator. I'm getting excited this year because we've had a large influx of newbies and I'd love to see them show their stuff. Unfortunately things seem to be falling a bit flat. My only advice is this though: Only enter if you're ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that you can get what you need to done before the submitting stars. I thought I could get everything done last year, but my bad planning mixed with a metric buttload of unforeseen IRL stuff and caused the incredibly lack-luster and buggy Epsilon that was unleashed to the poor, unsuspecting people of SFGHQ. Would it have been a hit if I had planned it better? Probably not, I am by no means a skilled programmer. However, if I hadn't been lazy all summer, it would have been at least somewhat enjoyable. That's why the real development for Maze -o- Matic started in May, when school let out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I hope it doesn't take place next month; I'll be back at boarding school = no access to SAGE website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinityAlex Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's OK. All I would have is one level anyway (though it does have a lot of paths). If I get more done I'll ask Jassbec or someone to upload it and I'll just type a few words for the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessler12 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 If anything Sonic Whirlwind nor the Level Collab(yes its still being worked on) will be in sage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I hope to have something ready for SAGE too. But I had to redo all my level maps thanks another engine switch. We'll just have to see how far I get but I'm trying my hardest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm still hoping to do a Livestream for level design. Once there's more details about dates and events, I can probably see how it'll fit into my schedule this semester. Things to do include getting a better computer for the livestream, and setting it up. Looking forward to seeing all the other projects this year!

Serephim Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 For the first time in life I may have something playable at Sage. Unfortunately it wont be any fangame projects because they were all rolledback about 6 months due to a harddrive failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemox Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good news everyone! My project is finally getting somewhere for once, and I still haven't lost my steam yet. The running physics are pretty much exactly how I want them, and all that's left for the bare basics is air and water physics, a little animation work, and some tweaks to the camera system, and I've got a demo. Also trying to figure out precisely how to apply Sonic Generations shading in Unity. Shaders aren't my specialty, but I've recently overcome a huge roadblock in that regard.

KiddoCabbusses Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey folks. Saw the thread. Letting people know I'm kinda alive. I'm hoping SAGE this year doesn't cause any schedule conflicts in relation to FEE3 or NCFC, both of which I also plan to attend (As I was requested for FEE3 and handled things on NCFC for 2 years previously.)
