RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Adrianis - 04-09-2012 That trailer is bloody brilliant RE: Katamari: The dark descent - darkadders - 04-10-2012 (08-02-2011, 05:05 PM)Apjjm Wrote:mind = f***ed props to you guys for figuring out how to make these things; its harder than it looks Q_Q RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Apjjm - 06-09-2012 Good news and bad news. First the bad news: I'm going to have to re-code katamari from the ground up again (minus the collision detection). This is because of a fundamental change in approach to resizing the katamari. The good news is that I have found a better way to re-size the katamari, in what I can only describe as thoroughly abusing a glitch to get around a more random, preventative, glitch (the preventative glitch being that the game would randomly not load in the next size of katamari, forcing a level reload). This new method will let me arbitrarily upsize & downsize the katamari at will, rather than in a strict linear fashion. This should let me recover from the above glitch occurring (but in a trial of about 100 size changes the glitch didn't occur, when before it was about 1/8 chance). Bad news is that this also effects the way the katamari handles (a resize will now stop all katamari motion), but there really isn't much I can do about that, sadly. The recode also gives me an opportunity to fix the tangled mess a couple of the attach functions have become due to various experiments in trying to mitigate the dissapearing-katamari bug. RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Statyk - 06-10-2012 Oh wow... I thought you stopped making this all-together. May I ask why you needed to resize the Katamari? RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Apjjm - 06-10-2012 By "resizing the katamari" I was meaning "resizing the body which the katamari uses to collide with it's surrounding", which was required so that attachments wouldn't clip through the floor/walls when the katamari got big. I apologise for the lack of updates prior to this one, but I had hit a road block a while back with the game doing some glitchy behaviour (the props randomly not being loaded in) as well as being particularly busy at university with a tonne of assignments (and more recently exams). RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Statyk - 06-10-2012 No problem =] Hope everything is going well for you! Glad to see you're still up for this challenge. I can see what you mean with the larger body sizes now. That never occurred to me until you said it. =\ RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Apjjm - 06-10-2012 Here's a video showcasing the resize / entity replacement method. I managed to get quite a bit done today, so i'm pretty please with progress. Should be back up to where I was soon. http://youtu.be/u5vBMmCzNqc RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Science - 06-10-2012 Dammit Apjjm, every time I read something you wrote your avatar looks more and more like a Khajiit from Skyrim. What is this wizardry.

It wasn't until about a month ago that I noticed it was a dinosaur in a jet... I liked the mage robe. He was cool =[ RE: Katamari: The dark descent - Adny - 06-10-2012 (06-10-2012, 07:02 AM)Statyk Wrote:I always though it was a t-rex in a astronaut's suit :3(06-10-2012, 06:04 AM)Science Wrote: Dammit Apjjm, every time I read something you wrote your avatar looks more and more like a Khajiit from Skyrim.
