TheMuffinCoder

22:07

THANKS!

NaCl

22:21

np, I like to help

Sie

22:37

@TheMuffinCoder Where is that from?! That is EXACTLY the type of water I want in my game.

TheMuffinCoder

This is my current model for @PearsonArtPhoto

Current progress! :D

@Sie I can link you the material so that you can replicate it if you want! :P

MickLH

Is the Cook Torrance specular important for the look @TheMuffinCoder?

TheMuffinCoder

nah it just regular specular

the key here is the Fresnel value

Hey mick what are you currently working on? :P

I don't see screenshots often from you

MickLH

math lol

TheMuffinCoder

nice, pure math is the most glorious project :D

Sie

22:42

I will try replicating it but no idea how well ti will turn out lol.

PearsonArtPhoto

22:53

@TheMuffinCoder Looks great! Probably should have some kind of a building on shore too.

TheMuffinCoder

lol its in progress :P

PearsonArtPhoto

Okay:-)

TheMuffinCoder

Sie

Sometimes I really wonder if life is worth living.

TheMuffinCoder

PearsonArtPhoto

23:01

There's people that can help with that, you know.

TheMuffinCoder

Read this :D

MickLH

Moral of the story is... eat a donut

TheMuffinCoder

lol Mick u read it all?

MickLH

lol yeah I opened it

TheMuffinCoder

ayyy :D

Sie

23:15

@PearsonArtPhoto uh...

ok

@PearsonArtPhoto Again sorry if I insulted you earlier about the feature creep thing.

PearsonArtPhoto

I've known too many depressed/ suicidal people not to say something at least.

Honestly, I'm not at all worried about you, truth be told.

Don't even worry about it. I'm past all of that.

TheMuffinCoder

Just wondering, what type of creeps are u guys talking about?

Like these?

@OliverSalzburg Hi Mr. Mod! :D

Oliver Salzburg

@TheMuffinCoder Hi

TheMuffinCoder

watcha doing! :P

Oliver Salzburg

I just clicked that Rejoin all button :P

TheMuffinCoder

23:25

lmao xD

Oliver Salzburg

Been working on a t-shirt design

TheMuffinCoder

ooo are u using illustrator to make it?

Oliver Salzburg

And I should probably get to bed soon, it's 1:25am here

@TheMuffinCoder Yeah, and Photoshop

TheMuffinCoder

ouch it just 7:25pm for me

@OliverSalzburg Nice good luck on your shirt and get some sleep :P

Oliver Salzburg

Well, I'm done for today. I'll clean up the design next week. I'm just watching some Mythbusters on Netflix to wind down

TheMuffinCoder

23:27

lol my version of winding down is playing overwatch, tho I think that actually accelerates me up more than relax

Oliver Salzburg

Heheh

Man, I bought this insect killer thing the other day. I'm constantly staying up late just to see if I can fry one more bug

What an investment!

TheMuffinCoder

i would get that too if I had bugs

I cant fall a sleep knowing if anything is lurking near me

Oliver Salzburg

Well, like flys and stuff

They were constantly flying in front my screens

And this thing is taking care of business

TheMuffinCoder

lol nice

flies are always annoying

tho I'm too lazy to kill them

Oliver Salzburg

Well, I used to squash them on my screens with a squatter, which is obviously a horrible idea because it smudges your screens

TheMuffinCoder

23:31

LOL

I would never do that

I just blow them away from me and thats that

tho summer time seems to be bringing bigger ones

Oliver Salzburg

Where do you live?

TheMuffinCoder

NJ in the US

what about u?

Oliver Salzburg

Germany

TheMuffinCoder

whoa we're like many many miles/km away

Oliver Salzburg

Indeed :)

PearsonArtPhoto

23:32

North or South NJ?

TheMuffinCoder

lucky u, I have to use the bad imperial system :P

@PearsonArtPhoto North of NJ :D

I'm 20 mins away from NYC

PearsonArtPhoto

Ahhh.

I fairly frequently go to southern NJ, near Philadelphia.

TheMuffinCoder

lol I never been down there

PearsonArtPhoto

I live fairly close to DC.

LOL, that was a bad typo...

TheMuffinCoder

sssh no one saw :P

MickLH

23:34

yeah nobody saw

TheMuffinCoder

lol mick where did u appear from?

MickLH

huh? what's appeared? who's mick?

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder is it me or is SF actually doing woodoo magic on a creep?

Sie

@PearsonArtPhoto Not asking for anyone to worry about me. Sometimes I just come in here to talk to people. A lot of my friends have moved onto bigger and better things and I'm trying to get there too but I'm working through a lot of my own shit.

TheMuffinCoder

@Ali.S seems like mind control magic lol

Oliver Salzburg

23:36

Activity attracts users

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder I mean he has magic wand and somethings coming out of it

TheMuffinCoder

lmao ikr

Im as confused as you

now that I look at it, Dota seems so much more detailed than league

It's so pretty

like there's a mushroom on the floor, how awesome is that

Sie

Sometimes no matter what I do it feels like things don't work out and it just frustrates me and then depresses me.

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder it actually is... though some people don't like these extra details

TheMuffinCoder

what! How can someone not like details

Ali.S

23:38

saying the game is supposed to be fun, not realistic...

TheMuffinCoder

I would play Dota if it weren't so addictive

MickLH

They are mentally scarred from too many hidden mushroom traps on the ground

Instantly mad seeing a mushroom on the ground

TheMuffinCoder

LOL from Teemo?

MickLH

yes lol

TheMuffinCoder

I hated teemo so much that i started playing him

just to get others as enraged as me

MickLH

23:39

achievement unlocked: embrace the dark side

TheMuffinCoder

hey mick have u played overwatch?

MickLH

no I don't have it :/

TheMuffinCoder

D:

One day you'll be able to enjoy it

Ali.S

can anyone tell me what's her problem? steamcommunity.com/app/570/discussions/0/371918937273477536

TheMuffinCoder

Too much time on her hands?

MickLH

23:42

hahaha

> yes yes yes every female heroes should wear burqas or somethin

Ali.S

I mean lina is the only character which kinda resembles what she described

TheMuffinCoder

oh wait that was bait lmao

Jon

She wins by drawing attention to it

Ali.S

I mean, how can someone interpret this as practically naked?

PearsonArtPhoto

First pass at moisture. Still have more modeling to do, but it's a start...

Ali.S

23:44

I don't even understand how did she figure out it was a she in the first place?

TheMuffinCoder

@Ali.S I didnt even know that was female o.O

MickLH

@Ali.S You see the main problem here is that you're trying to understand with logic...

Ali.S

@MickLH maybe?

Sie

@Mick Were you serious about the whole lawyer thing?

@PearsonArtPhoto It's looking good. It kind of reminds me of those Pokemon maps a little bit.

PearsonArtPhoto

The next thing is to figure out the altitude drop, but that might take a bit...

Sie

23:47

So this is a game about Sea Trading correct?

PearsonArtPhoto

Yes.

Sie

Is the whole cloud cover thing a mechanic or just for show?

PearsonArtPhoto

I'm planning on taking the biomes into account to determine what kinds of goods are available.

It's mostly just for show, although it will indicate the major wind directions when I've got it all figured out.

Sie

I don't want to turn it into the ideas guy here but perhaps it could dictate where sailors could go. Surely the amount of fog or weather would deter or allow for better time and such.

MickLH

@Sie Yeah, there's a couple chunks of code that I can't share with the general public until some patent related stuff is sorted out, or else I'd be totally screwing myself over.

Sie

23:50

@MickLH Ah alright. The make sense.

MickLH

And he was pretty adamant that we talk in more detail before I publish anything, even if I strip the patent related stuff out

PearsonArtPhoto

There's a really good chance that I'll do such things eventually, but...

The wind does affect the travel time.

The clouds will mimic the wind.

Almo

There is more than just Lina for over-sexualized heroes in DotA 2, but it's certainly way less common there than in LoL.

PearsonArtPhoto

Weird paths like this are largely due to wind patterns.

Sie

@TheMuffin I could potentially do the low poly water thing via a shader.

MickLH

23:54

could... should

TheMuffinCoder

lol my room was so quiet for the past 10 minutes that that ping made me jump lmao

Sie

I just hate Blender...

@TheMuffin r u scared?

TheMuffinCoder

I love blender <3

@Sie nah because I'm expecting noise now :P

Sie

I muted that garbage a long time ago. it got annoying.

MickLH

nooooo pings are beautiful

do not mutilate them

@Ali.S Did you notice the name was "Amanda"

Ali.S

23:57

@MickLH what name?

MickLH

The dota 2 heroes thing

Ali.S

not really

that probably was the only line that I didn't bother reading

MickLH

Well the person who posted is named "Amanda", I'm gonna gues it's a troll making a joke and it's really "A man, duh."

The bit with spectre is too far lol it has to be a joke

TheMuffinCoder

Assassin Creed black flags was so beautiful

I should play it, I have it for my xbone

MickLH

@TheMuffinCoder Could you make that for me?

TheMuffinCoder

23:59

prolly if I major in graphic design

MickLH

ty

TheMuffinCoder

lol u gotta wait 5 years till then
