I'm working my way through OpenGL and thought I'd post a shot of what I'm working on... So far I've got as far as implementing shadows, flat shading, faux lights, reflect/shine and glass. Textures are a lot further and currently I'm not too bothered with them. My thoughts are to write a flat shaded game sorta like Virus/Lander, Simulcra, etc, but more in the style of Tim Reynolds isometric landscapes. Any thoughts on what sort of game mechanics would be good? |

| Always been a big Virus fan myself Adam, I would definitely go with that. What shadow implementation have you used BTW? |
| ||
| Looks good, Adam. Keep up the good work. |
| ||
| single light shadow buffer - it still has some issues with moire but isn't a problem currently. I then use custom shaders. 3d models come directly from my 3d editor where i'm adding all the extra features to support the different material types. it's all nice n open ended. I've also got a 3d particle system in there but still in the early stages. |

| Hunter! A huge, open world free-roaming game, created when people at Rockstar were still wearing diapers. |
| ||
| first time i've seen proper footage from hunter :) |

| You have boarded a rocket boat You have boarded a tank You have boarded a wind surfer You have boarded a rowing boat You have boarded a bicycle ... |
| ||
| There's also Zarch \ Virus: |
| ||
| ...and don't forget Zeewolf/Zeewolf 2: |
| ||
| Beautiful screenshot there Adam. I'm thinking an adventure game where you have to escape from the barren planet or survive there. Big emphasis on sense of isolation. |
| ||
| Never played Zeewolf but it looks and sounds just like the games I grew up with in the late 80s early 90s....very familiar. |
| ||
| Here's some more dev pics: testing the shadow system  surface properties shine and reflect (good at showing moire errors)  faux lighting, self illumination (big coloured square thing) and initial glass (the big green tree, not casting a shadow)  i've also got automatic rotational animation working so can easily make models with bits that go round :) Still working on different material types though I like the concepts of zeewolf and virus :) |
| ||
| I think Stevie G did a Virus clone, already. If that makes any difference. |
| ||
| The Sentinel is another great game using this type of engine(Carrier Command too IIRC). It would be cool if this shadow system made its way over to your Monkey MiniB3D engine Adam, any plans for this? |
| ||
| MiniB3d for Monkey is not mine, but certainly possible |
| ||
| Reminds me of Gunship on my C-64. |
| ||
| OK, Reworked the internal structure to include FBO's. It wasn't an easy task, but got it eventually, also updating the 3d app to go with it. so, here is a basic ssao implementation  and here with light and glass types in the background. (depth is darkened the further you go)  I've also blurred the shadows a bit. Still in testing, but coming along nicely |
