splash damage 

Are all technically based off of the game mechanics of on singular game that started it all, Rogue. Those who use Linux can play it by getting the BSD games package. It was a very simple game that used D&D like methods for random events. What made it really important for Linux though is that it invented an early version of NCURSES, which allowed for it's grid-ascii style of gameplay. This would lead to graphical-text programs being developed that allowed unexperienced users to quickly do something in the system without using the command prompt. You were a player with stats based off D&D that went around a dungeon fighting monsters trying to get an amulet, then leave. What made the game special is that the dungeon was different every time, which was super innovative for the time. So go ahead and try it out, I'm pretty sure there is a windows version of it somewhere, but idk. Short warning: IT'S REALLY FUCKING HARD. 

Thanks for the info. Also, I keep hearing people around here talking about some game called "Quake" - anyone know what that is? 

I know some of the stuff I say goes off topic, but seriously, why are you targeting me? 

Please excuse my younger brother, PepeLord86. I have asked him to review his recent comments in light of your grievances, and he will be unavailable to comment for a while. In the meantime I, PepeLord84, will be posting in his stead until further notice. 

If any of you pros know of any decent company hiring level designers, hmu please and thank you. 

he'll need some if slackroom takes off 

I already joked about going to work on Blackroom with some guys of the guys from work. I found it funny, not sure they did. 

Just curious...How much pay would you expect if a freelance game developer wanted to commission you to create a large scale Quake map?

I would like to know, just in case in the future I need to have someone create levels for a future project. 

In case you're still looking:

Ruin: I probably wouldn't work on a quake map except for fun and personal satisfaction, sorry.

Adib: Thanks, but I'm not sure I would be willing to move to Malaysia. :) 

I totally understand you, I'm coming from Brazil. What can I say? It's been an adventure to tell my grandchildren. And mapping for a new game in the process. So far, so awesome. 

I've posted a help wanted ad on polycount (see link below), but I wanted to repost it here since the art I need is very much in the vein of the Quake era of games.

"The game's theme is Dark Fantasy / Gothic / Lovecraftian horror."

"Reference Art:"

ayy lmao 

But there is no general art "direction" in AD, really.
Just wow again. 

Its gameplay and story is similar to this: http://199.101.98.242/media/images/34559-Megaman_X_(USA)-3.jpg
but way less good

but with graphics rendered like this: https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/23024277/bubsy.0.png

All I need is 4 million bucks via my kickstarter and we'll be good. What could possibly go wrong? 

looks good i'll donate

...but's what's really important are the pixels and the polygons, not the style (as long as it still looks like AD and makes me moneys though) 

Why so salty? 

posts #606 - #609 are pretty cringy. 

I was just shit posting about the "mighty no. 9".

Post 605 just gave me a good segue to do so :)
