Cheers!

Gameplay video update!

Sol Contingency: Proving Grounds - News and Updates!:

homeyduh

I went ahead and pledged $80. I hope it all turns out well!

homeyduh

Lol again, of course. The main purpose of the post, however was to keep awareness raised and let them know we're not out of the picture and we're still hard at work. I mean look at this awesome teaser Max put on our FB page!

homeyduh

Oh yeah of course, but we've given out a bunch of concepts and videos that are proof of concepts for now. For example, Verran's video shows flawless flight mechanics that closely mimic the mechanics we're looking to get. From that people can critique what we have so far. Of course the feedback is go...

This post is going to cover the updates that have been going on over at our Sol Contingency forums and I'll do a better job to keep you guys in the loop as things happen. First, there are some preliminary screenshots of a map that I'm working on called Ice Breaker. The back story I have for this map...

homeyduh

I actually have one of the developers on my Twitter and Skype. He's totally cool XD he's really good with answering my questions about the game as he is curious about SolC.

homeyduh

Oh yeah, I'm aware of that. In fact, I made a thread about it in the "Other 6DoF efforts" forum. I'm just saying as an additional feature in full descent release that would be cool.

homeyduh

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced: Variety is bad. Variety is evil. Variety is the natural enemy of balanced core gameplay. To be honest, this is why I like rogue-like games. Absolutely no (or very little) story, yet the game is perfect because of the gameplay. Every play through is...

Sorry to detract from the conversation, but I've seen you say this a few times.How come? O.o

homeyduh

Unfortunately, Triaxiality isn't an official SolC map. It will be after we're done with PG though. Let me know what you think though. I'm raring to play it though so maybe some of you guys might wanna play test it tonight! Keep in mind small games though! It's gonna be truly hectic.

homeyduh

I received many compliments on my Triaxiality map on UDK, but unfortunately, no one is able to play it because it remained a WIP. Last night, I decided to open up the DLE and recreate it and lo and behold, it's done! The lighting mechanics in DLE are strange to me, but it's not that bad. Keep in min...

homeyduh

When I started mapping in UDK, I made some major mistakes transferring all the way from DMB. I made a pseudo- tutorial about mapping 6DoF In UDK. While DU uses UE4, many skills and tricks learned in UDK WILL transfer to UE4. I originally made the tutorial for SolC, but it applies to all 6DoF multipl...

homeyduh

The atmosphere is similar. Dark. I hope they do something to make the stealth worth it, like the robot ripping the pilot out of the cockpit and slaughtering him or something...just to give it a sense of horror

homeyduh

Is...that a good thing or a bad thing? Lol

homeyduh

Again, the title says it all.

He's a hardcore Descent fan, in touch with the community, yet he has to ask if we want a Pyro? Or if we do, how much we're willing to fork over for something that we kinda expect in Descent. Look, I may be a SolC dev, but in all honesty, it's hard for me to like DU. Not because the C&D nor becau...

homeyduh

$100 for Pyro, $30 for Pyro, or eventually we'll get a pyro maybe? Is that right?

homeyduh

The way I see it, if this project isn't what you guys really want, and is full of money making schemes and microtransactions, you guys backing it will basically let the devs know that this is what you want because your money is your vote. Throw enough money at them and they'll think that this is wha...

homeyduh

How's this video?

I'm sure it's blocky for the nostalgia factor? Even the resolution of most of the textures are write low.

homeyduh

Yeah I had a total nerdgasm when I saw that. Honestly, I had pitched the idea at the SolC forums before I was a Dev, but now that I am one, I want to see if we can implement it for a side mode. I love rogue-like games. for our game though, I'd rather it just be gauntlet style with no upgrades or any...

homeyduh

Rogue-like 6Dof game coming out this summer on Steam. Nuf' said.

FYI I almost ★■◆● myself when I heard about it!

homeyduh

Huh you learn something new everyday! Lol

homeyduh

Huh...random thought. In D1/D2, Will a prox bomb lure an incoming homing missile like a chaff pack or would it just be a random obstacles?

homeyduh

There's only one thing they could do with the license that would make me ★■◆● myself...one thing...and that's to totally remake all the D1 and D2 SP missions in UE4. Because of the C&D, we definitely can't do it, but they can. If they promised that, I would probably back them too honestly. Can't...

homeyduh

Thank you so much Pumo for all the support! Everything you're saying is right on point as we're trying to make the transition seamless for everyone coming from Descent. It feels *just* right...like a glove that was tailored to your hand. You guys will love it.

homeyduh

Max has made an official announcement regarding the announced Descent Underground that was kickstarted today here

We hope you can bear the wait on SolC just a little bit longer. I can attest that the classic style gameplay and physics ARE still here in our game.

homeyduh

I decided to make a page, albeit a very poor and short page that doesn't even cover "Descent (Series)" at all. Just wanted to put something there

I'll probably fix it up more.

homeyduh

Sol Contingency is going to be running on once after the Proving Grounds demo is out (hopefully super soon!) Now you can truly practice mapping for the game we are currently going to start making. Head over to unrealengine.com to download now! XD

homeyduh

You beat me to it! This is going to be the ship we're flying in the Proving Grounds demo and is subject to change for the final release.

homeyduh

More specifically for the 3DS? My FC is 4854-6948-9784 if anyone wants to duke it out!

homeyduh

This is basically what Max has said regarding the website.

homeyduh

Don't worry, I'm slightly familiar with Mexico seeing as I live on the border (El Paso) and have danced folklorico since I was 5. Saddest thing is that I don't speak spanish and I'm 100% hispanic lol

To prevent this topic from going more off topic, what are problems in Puebla like?

homeyduh

You're from Mexico Pumo? What state?

homeyduh

In case you all didn't know, pictures of my new map, Ice Breaker, have been posted on the official Sol Contingency Facebook page. Check them out and get hyped! The map is currently being playtested by the devs for balance and glitches.

homeyduh

Well Texas is great once your out of the Texas public school system. University wise, I think we're pretty high up there, especially like MD Anderson. Primary and secondary schools need the boost. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge and I don't really plan to be seeing as I plan on getting into the med...

homeyduh

Exactly. the first I would change would be the education system to support students and not discourage imagination, the arts, or personal goals (as opposed to strict state wide standards). I think all schools should recognize that there is no standard for student and that each student learns differe...

homeyduh

I love Texas, but the education system is crap, at least here in west Texas. The focus on standardized tests causes many students to feel shitty about themselves and makes teaches teach for a test and not teach the stuff that students really need. Poor teachers are put on the ★■◆● hole if they're st...

homeyduh

Honestly I'm not sure. Max has been busy with coding for Proving Grounds and I don't think there's anyone else on web master duty. I expect that the site will be up before proving grounds comes out though.
