  1. Using a 3d model as a sprite doesn't make your game 2.5D, IMO
  2. I was discussing the same thing with a friend through MSN..
  3. Hmm, I haven't played Pikmin, but the whole concept reminds me of Flickies Island
  4. Haha, looks nice, but the screen is a bit large for Sonic's size. Also, the ground tiles aren't aligned, it looks weird.
  5. The problem is that MMF is doing integer operations, since the values are integers. Multiply them by 1.0 before doing any math. This should make the precision not suck, by implicitly casting the values to a float type.
  6. http://www.break.com/index/bill-gates-last-day-of-work.html Bill Gates' Last day at Microsoft
  7. But can't you get some sort of on screen keyboard?
  8. Well, you could just search thought all Windows' files for that string, and replace it with blank spaces using an Hex Editor.
  9. I don't think that's the filesize... That's the memory currently in use by the frame. It's probably because you have a lot of objects (382)... They may have a lot of animations, too. Are you using many rotation effects? MMF stores the rotationed image of each object instance, so it can perform pixel perfect collisions on rotated objects... That may be it.
  10. yeah, there's sound. BTW, this is quite fun... I was sad when it suddenly ended. Good use of the SV2 engine.
  11. Well, let's not start a fight here, but I did only not give him the PSD file, even better, I did only not slice the whole thing and create valid, tableless XHTML code for it, because people were still giving feedback on it... And there were alternate designs still in development. So when someone passed me a link to an already in the works version of it, that Smidge sliced himself, I was all like "WTF?" Anyway, it's all ok for me.
  12. Actually, it's only using some of the Wave Ocean textures right now... The meshes are fully original. The original Wave Ocean mesh was with fucked up UV Mappings, and I'm too lazy to fix them.
  13. So... I've decided to reformat my computer, after almost two years without doing so, and wanted some advice from you: How do you guys organize your hard drive space? What do you think that works and what you think that doesn't? I'm somewhat outdated. What tools, for instance anti-viruses, anti-spyware, firewalls would you guys recommend? That's basically it.
  14. I like the two explosion/asteroid/star things and the planet. However, my advice is that you use the Bevel and Emboss and Glow blending effects wisely. They can be easily overused, and using the default settings for direction, color, size and texture will just make it scream "MADE IN PHOTOSHOP". Also, try with other blending modes... Screen and Multiply are not necessarily the best for Glow, Highlight and Shadow effects.
  15. Actually, considering Jesus was born at Year 1, he would be turning 2006 by now. BTW, my sister's birthday is today.
  16. Merry Christmas! =D I've got a camera.
  17. MMF uses a custom software engine by default, but can also use DirectDraw. It doesn't use Direct3D, so it's heck slower than GM on drawing sprites, for instance.
  18. Hey, that was pretty nice, thought a bit hard to control. Really good presentation. BTW: I think the word you're looking for is "Available" not "Disponible".
