Yes i know, but it will be there when it's there
proof of life
The explo
Well now, barring the fact that the coming cold common as muck feels like chemical warfare coming up and life seems to be hell-bent on crawling up my arse, denying the whole fact that that rectum's strictly one-way traffic ...Despite that i found myself on a little code again this week ... mostly reading, b/c after three months of almost nothing i simply cant read my own stuff anymore, let alone know what means what in what context and what all the references to the sql tables are (as i prefer smaller size over readable as i actually was on it daily so its not very hard to keep track but if it gathers some dust ..., well then ...)
even so
As i want to divulge as little as possible about the game that has been attracting massive intrest (mostly by people trying to get in my cables to steal the code from all i can see so far ...) which is good b/c i would feel bad hyping up unfinished product ... and its not even a product , its a work and a hobby-project ...
As that is the case the posts will mostly focus on audio-visuals , renders , themes (i have spoken and decided), i dont want it to have a manual , just like dark souls had none , and my assumption is that if people play it for the hype or 'to be part of the gang' then i came up with something not good enough to be enjoyed by anyone but me and that is where it'l stay so :
the fluff
much ado but finally some consistent sprites again , i'm still wrestling with the whole armour thing for the NPC characters in blender but a blend of rpg character creator + rpg character builder you can get on steam(steAm/valve) PLUS the great stuff left behind by a guy named Mack (<-credit) from a thing called 'looseleaf' no longer in production, provides me with ample templates to edit into something that looks like the blender characters (which i CAN create, its just fitting the armour and clothing AND posing it ... and also the part where you need a separate university course to work with hair particles, that's giving me a bit of a headrush (and i'm already 90% chaos)
So its more like mack/chibi style atm but i can call them mine already
we already had the dark one ... "Charon" who makes an appearance in the small limbo demo thats been online (since forever now)
(that is available on #oga #opengameart , here : https://opengameart.org/users/alleycat as i rendered that myself using a public domain piece of cloth draped extremely well by VilleValo at Turbosquid ... dude has other stuff too ... that's the only external i have incorporated but im not sure that counts , unless something made with a character maker also counts as 'not your own' but how far does that go ? how many pixels post-edit before it is ? that's all silly, right ? 'limbocharon is CC-BY 4.0' , if you dont know what that means please read up on opengameart
the chibi-type character for the player (currently , ... eventually all will be replace with scaled down version of models i made in blender
And the current goldmanmorgan (needs some pixels for the feet altered still unless i 'pretend' he's wearing blue slippers
('blender-morgan' ->>)
mmmh ... and euhm ... o, well, i figured a way to make armour fit, like
it would look like chewing gum every time i changed a pose but this way (the way that works takes LOTS of time putting it in place almost vertex by vertex ... im an amateur after all, i might be missing the one-click skinsuit option to start from there) ... that's just some texture from blenderkit ... seeing the amount of time that takes the next one or two posts will definitely have spicey 'art'-work mostly
check the morgan intro for @goldmanmorgan at https://goldmanmorgan.000webhostapp.com/
(something wrong with closing center tags ???)
check it, the site will be all about account(-ing) as that is the localized / internal wallet system for the game to be , the intro is an animation, it moves, probably the first place where newly adopted chibi-class npc's will appear and hopefully with a little bit of a hook or so to it ...
grand plans being what they are i HAVE decided to make a little platformer using the available sprites but that will not let you gain or lose playcoin (its beyond me to secure anything that's clientside in a browser only , i dont think thats even possible actually) but it will move if you press keys , heh, maybe a next post here too, you dont just whip that up in five like those people in tutorials do ... trust me , they spent MORE then five minutes writing that up :)
and then (did i get my 50 cents yet ?)
euhm
The rewards?
We are very well aware that this is Crypton where the hodlers live , not steam/valve with 15 million gamers but we are also not even indie or low budget , we are like broker than broke hobbyist amateur with no budget, despite that, im hoping to hand tokens ... i was thinking SBI shares but browsing a bit on steem-engine now they comeing up with the SMT's (as if what is steem-engine then exactly)
(an SMT is a few bytes of data planted on your feed, there's actually REALLY nothing to it, you can check @gmdatacenter where i experimented some but its not standard, like any of my stuff, putting custom json on 'the chain' which holds ALL internal morgan balances (150-ish atm) in a custom json post about 4-5kb in size ... this ofcourse does not write to anybody's feed but mine and is, in theory, not a "smart' contract as the data IS immutable but not spammed in more places at once (lol)
anyway, not sure if im gonna use that it takes 200milliseconds more per call than prepped sql tables and its turnbased WITH a daily cycle anyway
SO ... my idea is to hand INCOME token (1) to everyone who registers from client to player (as available ofc, atm i have 1.1 INCOME tokens lol) which supports at the same time @steembasicincome by @josephsavage and the INCOME token by the man maybe EVERYONE knows : @ecoinstats .... its useful :) , i'm thinking draws for creative coin and ofcourse keep building up sp for both the main account AND the zones for later contestwise #stuff and #things , good game token sounds nice but i dont see much and not sure how all that works yet and the NBC i have atm i seriously wanna keep myself heh ... seem smart enough all to NOT issue in the billions but keep the cap low (what bitcoin did from the start as the original point was to have ZERO inflation over time ... BIG point by satoshi himself ... but offtopic)
't is to say, i'll keep an eye if anyone does that, and make sure i have at least 1 INCOME token i can share by next week (i doubt anyone wil l haha but IF anyone reads 'free crypto' i noticed for some reason that seems to attract scanners fasters than you can post on planet Crypton, Hoarder-district. I'll check out more coins but i'm not about to throw money at it like a fool , i'm not ultimatt the give me all your money in a kickstarter before it starts type o guy anyway (but good for him, better for his kids even if it doesnt get to his head ...) and i dont have that money, i dont have that team and all i can hope for at the moment is (to win draws in INCOME ofcourse :D) and votes support :)
the sign-up system works on both the tyrnannoght and morgan sites
https://goldmanmorgan.000webhostapp.com/
https://tyrnannoght.alleycat.be/
you CAN login using the tester account gmtester , psw : peek, there's no cookies and if ANYTHING asks you for a steemkey then THAT IS NOT ME !!!
damn' there's really something wrong with the center-closing tag ....
now ... i still have a few lines of code to implement before posting @goldmanmorgan this week (it turned weekly until there's anything to game, after which it will turn daily again) ... can check out Witnesstracker if you like i do 50/50 there and the steem i get loose i send to the tyrzones ... (i cant just get me a 'its only 100 dollar' every month , and i ... for some reason i feel like i shouldnt apologize for that ...)
and THAT, i hope , i more than my 50cents this week :)
stay tuned (or not ...) im gonna do it anyway, with no pressure and no e.t.a.
