Heh, sorry for replying 2 weeks to late. Thx very much! (:
Now how may I be of assistance? It's the least I can do
after months of radio silence!

You are welcome!
And I have nothing in mind, I am just happy to talk a little bit
It's nice to see you ^^

Surely there must be something I can help with, I have too much time on my hands!
I spend every single day brainstorming and looking for inspiration for things 
that may never happen, or if I had the time.
Anyway, how are things on your side? (Sorry for replying so slowly, I have 
mountains of homework when I don't have free time...)

Oh I see. It's kinda the same for me, I have many time, but I am not inspired those days...
I want to do something, but I have no idea.
And don't worry for the replies, I am patient

You must be really patient. Unless, do you have desktop 
notification?
In my models I shift between 2d Renders and 3D...
I still need to pick an art style, but at least I have been 
pioneering miniature graphics development using blender. d:
Also after much pondering I created the Equation for making great work! 

          T * (M * I) = R

T=Time: If you don't have any, you won't be able to make anything. (Value= whatever you imagine it to be)
M=Motivation: You need to be diligent to get a good result in the end! (Value = 0 to 1)
I=Inspiration: Without this, what are you making? (Value = 0 to 1)
R= Result!

No, I don't have any notification, I just check my DA around every day ^^
Me I mainly do 3D models. I also practice with Clickteam and I already made a little game for testing. I still want to make a TDH fangame, but for now
I am stuck with the story. Without it, I can't work...

So I am just modelling things for practice for now, but since a month I can't choose an idea and follow it. I am waiting for inspiration to come back.

(Nice equation, it's a good description of the thing )

I need to check DA every now and then I suppose. Ever since 
they kicked me off TPT I have had nothing to do.
When I get round to making a game, I suppose 
I could use either Clickteam or a custom Game Engine...
(I'm trying to learn C# amongst other things, programming is
hard for me) Either a basic 2D or a 2D/3D game seems like a nice start.
I've read various documentaries on 3D games, (Bioshock, Spore, Splatoon, etc) 
and how they were made. I can get an idea of how to balance out gameplay, interactivity, 
etc... There are quite a few factors which make a good game! d:
I've had these stories for games in my head for what seems 
like forever now, just don't know how to implement them.

MouneM In reply to Security-Drone [2018-11-25 09:41:21 +0000 UTC]

I tried to learn C# once, and it's not that easy for me too...

Me I prefer make 2D games, I prefer that style. And the first game I made is like I wanted to, I didn't had to remove
anything of my ideas, just make it easier because it was too hard. (It's a prototype of wireframe level in TDH, for
practice on the fangame project). With this minigame I could find some sounds and music for the final thing
So I can agree it's a nice start, not that difficult to make as long as you have music, sounds, graphisms and coding skill.

As long as you find the good tools, nothing can stop you

(And I have the same curiosity: in every game I play I am searching how the gameplay is made ^^)

Well in roughly 3 weeks time it'll be the holidays,
Then, I'll be able to begin my hobbies again.
I have a fair few ideas, only problem is, I don't know 
which ones would play out best. I was thinking of finishing off 
the robot you see on my avatar, he's always at the center of my ideas.
I only finished from the waist-up. 
Here's the head   And here's the head - waist.  I still can't image how 
the legs are supposed to look... :/
I was also going to publish my AMOS model. I should have done it a while back 
but I forgot all about it. I'm gonna try my hand at CTF 2.5 first, 
see if that gets me where I want to, otherwise I will make my own Engine.
Good luck with your prototypes! Show me how they progress through! ^^

MouneM In reply to Security-Drone [2018-11-25 18:07:35 +0000 UTC]

I love the design of your robot, very nice ^^
The legs are always a problem hahaha. I just suggest to search inspiration from other robots, for yours it reminded me a bit of a Plumbot

(from the last expansion of the sims 3 "into the future") a customizable robot, and there is different types of humanoid legs, it can be inspiring.

And I keeped the beautiful render of Amos you sent to me, it's a real pearl to be honest, one of the best model I have ever seen

Good luck with CTF 2.5, it's easy to use
And don't worry, if my project goes further, I'll let you know.
For now, you can see two characters on my gallery: Microwave (who gonna be the main protagonist for sure) and an antivirus
character based on Viren: Psymoon (I am not sure if I will use it, but I like the result).

After looking at all the plumbots, I just realised 
another thing I will have to do when I make it's legs...
I need to make them sturdy, all the plumbots look like they are 
propped up on toothpicks. d:
Also thx alot for your support over the years! (2 so far)

If you ever need any help on your project let me know! I've always 
wanted to collaborate on a project!

MouneM In reply to Security-Drone [2018-11-25 19:50:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, most of Plumbot's legs are thin... But it was just a suggestion ^^
And you are welcome, it's a pleasure to help

About my project, I will add you in my beta-testers list if you want. It's the least I can do

Security-Drone In reply to MouneM [2018-11-25 20:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Well I'll be sure to think of something... I'll need more characters so I 
can use the Plumbots as reference images. For now I need to work on EE.

I'll be happy to help in any way I can!

Well, good luck! I am sure it will be great

And don't worry, if I have any news on the proect, i'll warn you. Welcome aboard!

If it helps, you can use another method of contacting me.
DA takes a while to load on my machine.

Oh, why not? I agree that DA isn't great to communicate like this.

(And very nice sentence ^^)

Well, There are a list of apps for communicating, most 
obvious choice would be Discord, if you have it.
Security-Drone#2511 is my tag.
If you don't have Discord you can use any other app.
At the end of the day, its your choice!
