Little 1 level project

[devsh]

right I am sick of making games, I have abandoned all projects except the grass, display+path_finder and shadows. I want to put it together into a minimalistic "next-gen" (not bloated loads of features next-gen, but fully optimized rendering using modern techniques like deferred rendering) engine with a as simple as you can get away with editor, to just create a game with one cutscene, and something like 1/32th of a level, but finished to high quality.

I am very anxious whether to start this thing or not, I jsut dont want to make something that halfway through making I will realize I can see no end to it. This is THE FIRST TIME, I have made my own models

if you want to help contact me, if you like to criticise me... go ahead

[...] halfway through making I will realize I can see no end to it.

I hear ya! I've already abandoned 2 mid-sized game projects because of that.
Therefore, aiming at actually finishing a tiny quality project is certainly a good idea IMHO.

If you feel like you like to help my idea, I'm not asking for coding or anything cause that takes commitment. But throw in a couple of models I mite find useful

[devsh]

yeah logo (messed up glow on the catch phrase)

seemed hard to read especially if you don't know what its supposed to say.

I am currently developing depth peeling and deferred rendering, the source will be available in the game SVN. However I will also release a modified Quake Map irrlicht example using hybrid depth peeling

good luck with your project. maybe irrlicht should have a shader repository. you seem to have write a lot of shaders.

muahaha my omidirectional shadow casting lights are going to be done with dual parabloids. Haha IN ONE PASS!!!

[stefbuet]

I've done dual paraboloid shadow mapping in 2 pass, How can you do that in 1 pass ?

Dont underestimate the powers of the devsh side
He is really very talented with shaders, most of us can hardly manage basic effects, lol

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out
