Hay gaiz I juss watn to said datt yuo hav a buttt hat wont'y qUIt! all i can tnihk abot is/ how wewnet HEY wha??? forty bukcs?? gettouta here!

We kinda need a tools and apps section... because this will just get lost in the sea of open topic, but doesn't relaly belong in tutorials either.

~Sol

P.S. It doesn't lag for me, even on my crappy laptop :/

How is it that I have not played this, or even heard of this until now?

~Sol

That was possibly the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life O.O

wave 206... still going... repeatedly pressing spacebar as fast as possible.... enemies... not getting to the 3rd corner...

Looks great man, but it's too easy. I'm just going to let it run all by itself and see where it ends up.

> Wow, Niger in Africa has 233 out of 1000 births being made by underage (teen) girls...

>

Not quite: It's per 1000 females-in-the-15-to-19-range, not per 1000 births. (Not that "nearly 1/4 of teenage girls have children" is any less worrying than "nearly 1/4 of new-borns have teenage mothers".)

I'm pretty sure that wikipedia said "per 1000 births".

*EDIT*

Yeah I read it wrong or something... it's 233 births out of 1000 girls in that age bracket... but yeah it's still pretty disturbing to know that your daughter/sister/whatever would have about a 25% of having a kid before they turn 18-19.

They did fix it, in Crysis Warhead.

Cryostasis uses an engine called AtmosFear, which is pretty damn nice.

I do admire the use of the water physics, but it just doesn't look real enough yet. Too blobby and thick looking, doesn't look good enough to take on the faked particle effects of games like Bioshock yet. However, I do think this is an early version of something that will be commonplace in the future, with physics loads being taken off the CPU and onto the powerful modern GPUs.

Even Warhead runs like poop compared to Cryostasis... and still doesn't look as good.

I agree the water effects are a little "blobby" but considering what they are trying to pull off it looks very convincing overall. It does tend to look a little "mercury-like" when it's landing on dry ground... it needs to dissipate a little more or something.

And yes, you are right about this being more commonplace on games. Nvidia only JUST released the proper PhysX support control in the latest drivers. If you have an Nvidia 8xxx or 2xx series card, then I highly recommend you get the newest drivers if you haven't already.

Also, I think it would be a really good idea for the dev team to take a little look into the whole PhysX thing... I'm no programmer, but it is apparantly VERY easy to implement since all of the coding is modular, and doesn't require intense physics systems programming (since it's all built in!).

Oh what the hell... it's Gb not Mb O.O

I totally didn't even see that the first time D:

What the hell is up with that??!

~Sol

Wow that was terrible lol

Lots of people will listen to it just so when someones like 'oh have you heard the new song by ___ its the worse thing ever' you can go 'no...you wanna know what the worse song ever is? i've got it on my ipod...have a listen to THIS'

People like things to dislike. For example, if we had a 'worse game created in Construct' award, I bet everyone here would download the game that was awarded it even though they know they are going to be disappointed by it...as a society we like seeing stuff thats s**t Sadly the mainstream media tends to take it too far

We also like to smell other peoples farts.

It's true.

About half way through there is a pretty awesome banjo bit, but the rest of the thing makes my ears bleed.
