Bumpage.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

When?
How can I help (Very basic scripting/ brainstorming, etc. I'm certain I'd bring a new approach. Not.)?

[frvge]

You can try to brainstorm how to formally test for flow (concepts like introducting conflict, chokepoints, multiple paths, tradeoffs between speed and safety etc).

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Hahaha, formal testing is beyond me. I've put up a topic on general flow, though.

Nice post, but I was looking for an algorithm that grades a map based on a 3D-grid.

edit:
I might actually make something like that. ZOMG. Sounds pretty cool. :D

How low will  we be able to set the graphics?

[Gawain]

valve does some awesome data gathering which gives them a thermal-image-style map overview that shows the hot spots, eg. where most deaths occur, which paths most players take, etc.

How low will  we be able to set the graphics?

hard to say. For now, it's one graphic setting I guess. You can pump up the resolution.

Since this thread was bumped I will ask:
Have you decided which thermal vision to use for the spy?  I actually like both of them, although the blue one is more common to most players.  Maybe offering an option for both would be nice because you have a lot of progress with each.  :)

[frvge]

We had vision modes in the game for GamesCom to some extend, but in later versions it was removed, because it was still a bit hacky code.

So we don't know yet.

By the way will you be able to make some sort of an option to make extra low settings? Something Like of Chaos Theory? I just hope my "ATI 3100" graphic card could support it... Would be quite upsetting if I had any framerate issues QQ.

[frvge]

ATI 3100? That won't run PS. It's afaik even a laptop card. Pixel Shader wise, it's ok... but the performance is probably lowlowlow.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  :"(

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  :"(

Guess I will have to do something about that ><

[Hybrid Circle]

Why has this game not been picked up by anybody yet?? Have you thought about sending your concepts to Valve??
