[MrJolteon]

Warning! Very offtopic! (sorry lcl)

I like your short posts with emotions raylen, it made my day

+1 (when I can give it )

to knucklecrunchgames: Thank you! f.w.i. I am trying to keep your post somehow on topic


to lcl: keep up the good work! If you can, can you keep us informed on how far you are in the project?

**sorry for any improper grammar.

you can only have 5 smiles?

Yes, but if you copy the smiley's image url and put it in an [img] tag, you can have infinite smilies.

Looking awesome icl. Good luck with it!

Thank you!

to lcl: keep up the good work! If you can, can you keep us informed on how far you are in the project?

Yes, I will try my best to keep updating this topic when some progress is made.
You can also monitor a topic of a game I'm making with Sabre, here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13297
That topic will inform about updates on the game, but quite many of them are actually at the same time updates to Sabre.

:P

If you think why I don't publish Sabre 2.0 already if I'm making a game with it myself, here's the reason: Sabre 2.0 is not ready, not at all.

How can I then be making a game with it? As the game project progresses, I face things I need to add to Sabre, and then I make them. So, really developing that game is a way for me to speed up Sabre's development. It also makes me notice a lot of things that need to be added which I could have forgotten about if I was only working on Sabre.

Here's a list of updates added to Sabre while I've been working on the game:

• Hotspots - walkable areas that activate things (4 different types)
• Level struct - allows for having multiple levels, each of them having an own map, own sprites and own hotspots
• Texture struct - allows giving wall textures more attributes, including adjustable speed animation and definable height
• Sabre project controls - project mode switching between editor mode, test exporting mode and publishing mode
• Modifications to sprite struct - allows for adding pickable objects
• And more...

Freakin' awesome man

Awesome indeed.

I've been playing a lot of raycast based fps games lately. Had to try out Wolfenstien and Duke Nukem 3D

Texture struct - allows giving wall textures more attributes, including adjustable speed animation and definable height

Definable height would be amazing.

Also had a question, are walls with transparency possible? Sort of like this -

The walls have a window in them that allow you to see what's on the other side, would that make sabre explode?
(This is a game called Rouge Shooter, and it's more clever than it sounds)

Anyways keep up the good work.

I think I should try out some of these games too, for seeing what they have done to make raycasting seem more interesting.

That's definitely possible and I've actually been already messing with adding that. However the problem is that in Sabre, the world consists of blocks. And you see why that wouldn't work so well with transparent walls. The walls would still be one block wide, and well, that with windows on it would look kinda... weird I guess.

I could of course give a try for the option of defining which sides of the blocks would be drawn and collidable with and which wouldn't... That could get complicated, but I'll maybe give it a try and see what I can do.

Some updates concerning the SABRE World Editor.

The World Editor project has been rebooted due to bad coding in the first version.
Read more about the new version and it's upcoming features in this post on this topic: SABRE World Editor update post.

I'm also happy to announce that SABRE development isn't a one-man project anymore!
The wonderful bat78, Ale by his real name, the best coder and wisest guy of all, is currently working on multiple incredible Add-ons for SABRE.
I won't now tell what the Add-ons are exactly, but be patient, Ale will most likely announce the first Add-on in the near future.

Just confirmation that all of LCL's utterance is true and thank you.. for the flattery lcl ^^. speaking of teamwork, we're sometimes working synchronized as we aways let each other to spectate the progress. Precisely thats the point of being in team. Besides the point, you are leeding the general threat in improbability, so i wouldn't dare to ruin that by making you link my stuff.. complications xP

How people think SABRE will look:

Just to say.. i have nothing against the 1992 Wolfenstein. Its a base of SABRE tho.

How it will actually look:


being minimalistic. It'll have btter graphics and much more content.
