Just wondering if the world would be interested in a stomach churning screen saver.

Sorry no screenie as it will ruin the surprise.

Ta.

Bah! Looks nice, but a bit too ugly for a screensaver ;)
Nice graphics indeed!

After that elusive zombie demographic, are you?

It wasn't too bad, infact I thought it was pretty cool.

Screen saver alert! Screen saver alert!

Not bad, but not what I expected.

I imagined something after the fashion of Mr. Creosote.

Now, that would be disturbing.

New version...

* Added 11 more horrid textures
* T cycles through the textures
* Moving the mouse exists
* EXE now a SCR

This probably won't be developed further as I'm not sure there are enough people willing to have this as a screen saver. Still I like it :-)

Oh and a screenie (to whet your appetite, churn your stomach or satisfy your curiousity)...

Nice one, reminds me of the organic levels of "Blood 1".


Loktar(Posted 2007) [#10]
Hey mind if I post this over on my site on the main page? (undeadgames.com) seems to fit my taste and Im sure a lot of the people over there would get a kick out of it :)

Would be cool if you could throw a quick settings screen possibly, or supress the screensaver from coming up when you select it from the drop down.

Also did you use B3d for this? Looks really nice like it uses paralax or bump mapping. Awesome job.


Matty(Posted 2007) [#11]
I'm sure I've seen that texture somewhere else before...


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2007) [#12]
@Loktar

no problem though before you do let me turn it into a 'proper' screen saver, i.e. with a config thingy etc as you suggest.

Yes it's B3D, just a plane and move the vertices around.

So you obviously think it's worth developing...

@Matty - filter forge.

@Xlsior - remind me never to buy pizza near where you live :-)


xlsior(Posted 2007) [#13]
somehow, the first one just reminded me of pizza.


Loktar(Posted 2007) [#14]
I think its worth developing. I've never seen one like it, its rather simple, and appealing. Lol it may not be appealing to some people but horror freaks I think would get a huge kick out of it (like I did)


bytecode77(Posted 2007) [#15]
these both screensavers looks more like an alien skin texture with bump maps


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2007) [#16]
@Loktar,

getting there - done the front end config stuff. Just tell me what else you would like to see - I hope to have a new version out by Wednesday. Oh and I need a good name for it...


Loktar(Posted 2007) [#17]
Only features I can think of are, option to display time in bottom somewhere, and let user possibly choose thier own pics to use. Maybe have an option for texture transparency where the desktop shows underneath, or merge the textures with the windows desktop to make it look like your desktop has become infected. lol I am obsessed with messing with the windows desktop however I do something to it in all of my screensavers. Oh and maybe an option to automatically cylce the texture after a given time, maybe with a cool transition.

For a name... Desktop Infection maybe? Im horrible at giving programs names.
