This post will compare and contrast various game engines that are currently available for developers and enthusiasts. These phenomenal tools are revolutionizing the immersive filmic game experience by facilitating the design of 4 dimensional time-based worlds containing 3-dimensional architectural capacity. So, if you ever wanted to enter a dream world, be fully lucid as a creator wishing to translate a vision, and then reproduce the dream commodity to share with others, this is about as close as you can get.

ReplyDeleteHere you go. I just rustled this one up from some early designs and posted in your honor:

It has been coded for Unreal 2004 to attract metallic enemy weapons. I'll bring out a more refined version for UT3 and may reinvent it for another engine, too.
This weapon-grab coding was originally supposed to be a subordinate function but it was so much fun that it kind've temporarily displaced its primary treasure seeking operation.
Basically, the way it worked was if you successfully hit an enemy, his gun would jump out of his hands and float over to your avatar, thus adding his weapon to your arsenal. Then you could turn around and shoot him with it.
Heh heh.
