yeah the mission thing was like a pipe dream that lasted for about an hour the other day, lol. realistically i had ideas on the simple shit i could do, but still have it be open as free play.... like would just spawn u every couple minutes at certain points around town with ur notoriety from everyone at max & building on a little thematic thing with the sound design & graphics, & like the second wave if u were still alive would teleport u to the top of statue with another look & background, (u can see it in the screenshots, that one has clouds even faster & another layer also that actually looks like it kinda worked where they look they're swirling over midtown like some other world funnel or something.... it was one of those things where if i set the value 0.001 in the wrong direction, it looked like it threw the whole thing off.... bu anyways, regardless, the beginning & (im sure) the end of which will be just a set of thematic tod's i tried to get all creative & artistic on some dramatic lookin shit with, just for whatever.
i still dont know if should leave the sirens & stuff on, or have it cut after a min like i do, i spent just as much time on the sound design & layering & stuff.... but the one sound i keep on, i noticed it sounds good til i teleport somewhere, then becuz it cuts out for the loading screen it annoys me when it comes back in, lol. i fuss over dumb shit like that, i must have spent an hr lining up the thunder sound perfectly where i wanted even though i doubt no one ever notice, but i cant help it, whatever. but i dunno, i know nobody else thinkin like that, but if anybody plays with it, just know if somethin aint cool or somethin, its a work in progress. and its just a dumb tod, i dont wanna make a fuss over it. i was just proud of my OWN self cuz i've never looked at anything about how games work before or anything. lol. i feel so out of place posting here among people who know stuff about it, & here i am asking all the time about stuff for my video project & shit, lol.... so i was like determined give somethin back even if its just simple tod, i thought whatever im gonna get all crazy creative here just for fun & see what happens, & so whatever. anyways, no big deal. if there was space & i knew how i'd upload the HD trailer video i cut together in premiere last nite with this stuff & other sr3 sandnox stuff that idol did with the effects adding & so i did some cinema clip stuff of some badass slow-motion hero explosion stuff to some epic ass choir & trailer voices i have & then BOOM, the hero gets hit by a car & dies, the end.
lol.
but whatever, screw that all that, i know yall aint worried about that, i was just sayin. i never woulda been able to do anything without looking thru so many files for info about how to find camera position, & although i still never figured that one out, i at least learned enough to throw my creative energy for past couple days into the apocalypse thing. so yeah. it is what it is, its definitely the kind of thing by its very nature that is probably better in small doses, thats just how most stuff is thats dramatic like that, & when i cant serve a payoff with a battle or something, u either gotta start some drama, or it likely get on nerves quick. thats how i am anyway, but i have adhd, so whatever. but most stuff in the world thats good is small doses thing, so the more i hit the keycombo for that in one day, the less its gonna be cool until i wait a day. or something. im talking philosophical bullshit right now people. dont mind me, im in the back of a car on a lomg trip. lol. anyways, whatever, & oh i just saw last comment now, thanks badmad, glad u liked it.
For those of you that play with that : Please Remember to set to clear skies before starting that, even if ur skies are clear at the moment. cuz u'll notice it start to look different & not good, & thats cuz its about to rain, & u have to set clear skies, so just do it once before starting, instead. & also freeze ur time. that part might not be necessary, but in some of my tests it absolutely was, so u cant go wrong with clear skies & frozen time on that. and i've got my eye on other ambient sounds for the permanent one in case that one starts annoying me too much. i really settled on that one after so so many, and after my initial mix that it starts with, but i could see it becoming annoying. (if there's a wayto set volumes on individual audio post events, plz lemme know if can.)
and forget everythimg i just whined about it for not being able to get it perfect, i do that with everything i ever make. lol. and i guess i'll just add that if anyone out there knows how to find local position of camera i'm still lookin for that crap.
anyways whatever, but thank you to those of u who like, u dont know how self-conscious i was since i never did anything like that before. i confident in my eye & ear, but not with coding, or should i put as plainly as the way i mean it.... "that stuff that makes games work." thats about all i know, lol.
