(SSGX Origins) Let's make a Wipeout game! This time for real!

**Killercrusher232** · 21st January 2012, 05:40 PM

Sketch up is good for proof of concept, also i'm going be learning how to use 3ds max sometime this year on my college course.

**Xpand** · 21st January 2012, 05:41 PM

Well, that's why I said "for making game models"... It's just that you'll be waisting your own time by making a model twice...

**Killercrusher232** · 21st January 2012, 05:46 PM

I guess so... a game that (I think) uses sketchup models is called 'Need for Madness'. it's a java racing game where you either have to finish first or destroy all opponents, a very fun game indeed.

Here's a pic:

**Xpand** · 21st January 2012, 05:51 PM

LOL, no man. that game is way older than sketchup. The lines are generated through a cel-shader... I used to play that when I was a little boy...

**Killercrusher232** · 21st January 2012, 05:55 PM

You've just made yourself look really old! i'm 17 in feb!

**Xpand** · 21st January 2012, 06:01 PM

Well, I'm going to be 19 in the 6th of February... I played that when I was around 8-9, so it wasn't exactly last year...

**Killercrusher232** · 21st January 2012, 06:04 PM

I probably played it at around 10-11 so not that much difference between us. (it's still WAY better than many games on the internet)

Started texturing the ship now, can't decide between blue/black or red/bleck collor scheme, when finnished i'll render it in both so you guys can choose

**Dayviewer** · 22nd January 2012, 05:27 PM

Amazing looking designs right there man!
The Goteki looks like another design i had in mind to model next actually

Anyway the ship is done!!:

Decided to go with blue in the end myself

Mind that in the renders i used 2048x2048 textures instead of 1024x1024 but that's only because of the close up, will look fine in-game with 1024

How do you guys want the geometry and diffuse map in the game? then i will export and upload it

**stin** · 22nd January 2012, 06:29 PM

Seriously, these designs are friggen awesome, I mean all of them!!!

You guys certainly worked at this and you all should be proud of yourselves!

**zero3growlithe** · 22nd January 2012, 09:05 PM

Yeaaaaah!!! I've rebuilded my Player's Ship Controller Script and A.I's controlling script and I got 60-70% better perfomance so I can run my game on netbook with A.I turned on and with all effects including trees with no lag

**Xpand** · 22nd January 2012, 09:12 PM

Awesome zero!

And awesome ship dayviewer! That looks wicked cool! Reminds me of the WO Pure Goteki!

**feisar rocket** · 22nd January 2012, 09:35 PM

Feisar looks gangster! lol, I have to make a Pulse skin like that!

Zero thanks for idea; like 2048, how there is 2048-50 leagues, how about, FX-150 - 250. Giving it an actual campaign mode.

Holy $h!+ Day, it looks like it could EAT a ship, not eliminate it!

P.S. Triakis and Harimau can be used because they got introduced in FX-300 but then...

**Xpand** · 22nd January 2012, 09:49 PM

Yeah, I said we could change the names and make it look like some amateur team just picked up the scraps of old ships to make a new one...

**Rotational_aspect** · 22nd January 2012, 09:54 PM

Dayviewer> great work! Some crits though:

The colour scheme is a bit bland due to having just two colours used. Perhaps you should add some details in another colour (personally, I would think white would look good). By details I mean picking out any decals like numbers, sponsors or adding stripes etc.

The rivets are too obvious and draw too much attention to themselves- try to tone them back. If you want to go for subtle panel work reference aircraft photos.

Zero: nice one! Rewriting is always the best way. Do you look back at your old code and go ''what the hell was I doing?'' I certainly do....

And as another update: I've started to think of a way to use linear velocity to calculate collision damage- so if you are travelling at high speed and hit something........crunch!!!! Also, I have a variable speed system working now, so the AI knows when to slow down and when to accelerate.

Yeah, I meant the names... but copyright issues.

**F.E.I.S.A.R** · 23rd January 2012, 02:13 AM

I was thinking...
FX-150 for amateur teams,FX-200 for those that proceeded from the FX-150 and teams we know.

(sorry 4 double post, multi-quoting eats typing space) I just took it in! Alright! First, A max speed team, a.k.a, Pirhana fan ship/s.

P.S. Yeah F.E.I. (SGX time line)

150-99 (amature ships made.)
200-49 (some amature teams join offical groups)
250-299 (Teams finalized, FX-300 league is not amature, qualification starts)
300, quick Vinta k gameplay and creds

last time i saw jese(?) was quite a while ago, i think jese stopped going on this forum a while back...

Ya definitely, as everyone saw what happened to my zone ship, it had lots of "trash polys" and it made lots of unnessicery lines on the model.

@Feisar_rocket, um no nothing new yet, i am still stuck with 3DS MAX

why does it have to be so difficult?
and i am designing new ships on paper, again it kept getting close to the pre-existing designs. i got to really stop doing that..... but i cant

Im not that helpful at this stage apart from designing ships and thats pretty much....

Well its great now that we have addition members on this project, but i recently had an idea... for the music of the game, maybe Unctuous could help us out? *fingers crossed*
