ok i got couple of things worked out
1) decent savegames (working is not my minimum)
2) rumble support (with almost no documentation)
3) ways to speed up rendering
the third one is interesting, i learn a whole ffing lot while doing this project. I regularly contact people with experience in making games. And it came down to the topic of making a ninja star. I went off and made a 300 triangle model (there was no other way of getting the shape) and i know this is wayyy too high for a model of such a small thing. I was puzzling for a very long time and then one of these wonderful people pointed me in the direction of bump mapping. I knew about it before, but i never thought of using it in this way. So i wont use that model but it will be useful for generating a height map.
P.S. i still get very confused with ways of drawing shadows

Joining your project
im' studying c++. I'm experienced in netcode and gamelogic.
I would be interested in joining your design team.

You could probably lower the poly count down to like 50 or something if you make use of alpha channels. :3devsh wrote: the third one is interesting, i learn a whole ffing lot while doing this project.

im not a modeler and i will never be
UPDate: I'm pretty close to release a demo in which you can move around an island with realistic night/day, blooming sun, and a nexuiz map loaded on top of the island. I will include loads of options to play around with.
just btw i will release it for testing so I can see if people with really crap graphics cards can play it at decent framerate. there will be a menu where you can turn off reflections, wave shaders, and transarency.
P.S. I wont be using octtree for nexuiz maps anymore, I will use the hardware hint of static mesh thingie. This is because there are problems with shadows.

OK THEN BLOOD FILLED SCREEN
Well basically, for anyone who played GoW, you know when your health gets low there is more and more blood on the screen (you dont have a health bar). We want to have this.
You come up with the idea- you get your name in credits and you can use the work in your portfolio.
What it must be:
1) at least a slightly transparent texture of blood on the screen (example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CFYCdTa0hE see 0:49)
2) different amount of blood for severity of damage (e.g. if you lost quarter of health you only get little drops adn if youre nearly dying you cant even see)
What it would be good to be:
1) if you could write a shader for it
2) if you could make it animated somehow (the drops running down the screen)
3) if you could make a little demo using and irrlicht example (like loading q3 map) and putting your blood invention over it

Good luck with the project and congrats on the split screen lol
