Competitions & Activities / Re: Game Pitch Competition - Round 6 "The Pitch-hiker"

« Last Post by CaptainD on Yesterday at 09:25 »

Oh, is this round two weeks? I hadn't noticed. I just removed a reference to when an entry was/would be submitted, to preserve anonymity.

Whew... I've been studying a lot of disturbing stuff about quantum mechanics lately and I got paranoid that it had affected my time/reality frame or something...

We know. You told us this tomorrow.

It's what he said next Friday that really bothers me, although he later retracts his statement 2 months ago.

The Rumpus Room / Re: Murder Most Foul (GAME PREP)

« Last Post by Mandle on Yesterday at 07:09 »

Okay, after a slight further delay due to RL issues:

I am now sending out all the character info sheets to the players.

Please read your info sheet and feel free to PM me if anything in unclear.

DO NOT divulge anything in your info sheet to anyone else, whether a player in this game or not.

This is a game of many secrets and if any were spoiled then the whole point of the game will be ruined.

I trust everyone will respect how much work has gone into this game on my part and also realise that this is a one-off: meaning that it cannot simply be reset and restarted if someone spoils the plot. If the secrets are leaked or spoiled then all the work I've put into the game was for nothing.

Having to give up or divulge secrets within the game is a different matter of course: But please think carefully if your character would do so before you do. More on gameplay later!

NOTE WELL: The game still has not started yet. I will need some more hours to set up the first "Mingle" phase and explain some gameplay rules.

STILL NO POSTING IN THIS THREAD, PLEASE

Engine Development / Re: AGS engine Linux port

« Last Post by toojays on Yesterday at 06:17 »

I'm new to AGS. Just bought Lamplight City which uses it last week. I was disappointed with the performance running fullscreen; it sounds like I've run into what you guys call the "scaling problem"?

Anyway, this inspired me to try and get AGS' OpenGL renderer working on Linux. I don't have previous OpenGL experience but was able to crib from enough tutorials to get it working in windowed mode.

Code is at https://github.com/toojays/ags/tree/ags3+linux-opengl , see the commit message at https://github.com/toojays/ags/commit/4ae20e7317241fe3b1435ccd0652956dfca38c88 for more detail.

I've only tested it with one game (Lamplight City) on one system (Ubuntu 18.04, Intel graphics) so far. Fullscreen mode isn't working yet. Somewhere in AGS the system tries to resolve the game's 640x400 against my PC's 1920x1080 and comes up with 1728x1080 (game res * 2.7). I fail to set this as a fullscreen mode and AGS falls back to windowed mode. I guess the driver is supposed to realize the system won't do 1728x1080 and ask the windowing system for 1920x1080? Does anyone know?

Ah saw this recently its Annihilation.

The movie was "ok" but it contained a scene which featured a mutated monster thing that I thought was most of thee most disturbing creatures I have seen in a movie in a while.
