Reality Factory

I haven't visited in a very long time, I'm just poking some harmless fun.

Only took 7 years to get back online

I think you take the cake for ultimate thread necro.
Also, wow was I annoying 8 years ago.

I doubt it, based on the date of last post.

My dad got Windows 7, and he seems to like it. I don't know yet if I'm going to shell out the cash for it.

that sounds pretty cool. I'd love to see a general scope of what you plan for this game.

One of my friends came over and we played "beat it" on guitar hero. The random singer it happened to pick was Michael Jackson. He moonwalked onto the stage in his white suit, sneakers and hat. I only wish he had struck a pose.

I'm going to buy a newer engine for myself ($200 for an indie license) called Unity It has capability for creating PC, web, iPod Touch, and Wii games all in its simplified editor. Reminds me a lot of RF, while remaining amazing in my opinion. Not sure what I'll make with it but Terra Trooper may be ...

there was an old arcade game (probably mid 90s) that I remember had tank style mechs. I kinda liked those.

sounds amazing. Something I would play.

this is looking really cool. Some of the best RF work I've ever seen.

cool. After checking it out, I'm going to spend more time coding than with RF, but I think that I'll be able to get a functional driving game done faster with XNA.

That is really great, and after taking the C# class, I should be able to work with it. I'll have to look into how to make models for XNA though, don't know if milkshape will work anymore. Looks like a lot of research to do. I'd Better get started.

Other than Reality Racer, has anyone ever successfully created a racing game using RF?

and what is the viability of creating a simple game, where the player can drive a car around a city (such as free roam in games like Need for Speed?)

no... And looking back, I guess proficient is not the right word. I took a course in C# and passed it with flying colors, but still did only the class curriculum.
