Hi all, desided to go for the 3d animated tv show Insectors over the film legend as i couldnt find a style i lied and got anoyed at tom cruses hair when trying to model, and it would be a huge game so went for the simpler option.
Insectors is about some bug people who are rebles and a bit hippyish , spreading the good flowers and happyness in a dark world. Great show from my childhood and one of the first 3d things i remember.
Heres what i have after the first night .
Im going for a half way between ps1 and ps2 style.
Still dono what style of game , mabie a race, or fight / shoot, panzer dragoon style?
You should be looking at the one you use for game debugging, Window -> Toggle System Console. It prints out “Blender Game Engine Started” and “Blender Game Engine Finished” lines when you play the game plus any errors or stuff you wanted to “print” in between.
The console where bge prints errors is not that one.
In the info header, it’s window > toggle system console.
It can also print things defined in scripts. ex : print(“Hello World”)
Thanks both of you for the quick responce :), i didint know where that had gone.
good to know , and i got the mous thing working i must have miss typed.
Still getting used to the new 2.6 bge , some stuff works good, wish the armature stuff was exactly the same though.
think i just figured out the problems i was having with the armatures. You need to apply mirror modifyers before the animation will play . Woo, can actualy make things animate
Good quality textures, music & audio, models and animations. Aiming was hard for me although I would probably have gotten used to it eventually. Could make things more interesting with special attacks or powerups and turning paths and varying environment.
hi thanks, ye power ups could be good , didnt even think of that. and i did try paths that turn and stuff but that made the aiming even more difficult . I realy shoudl make more enemies , been watching the show again to get some ideas. Was thinking of a couple on foot sections and boss fights. Il do a couple test 2moz and see how it goes.
This game is awesome.
I had more fun playing this game then half of “finished” Blender games. Not to say that its not finished, a level and a boss is more than we could expect (of a 7 day game). Good job
Thanks guys , it means a lot. I might add a few more levels in the future but gona lit it lay for a little. I bought the insektors anual off ebay from 1997 so have a some better refrence for different themed levels. Could easly have 3 or 4 different levels with there own boss fights.
