The Tale of Archon Discussion/Updates [Archive 2003]

12/16

Did some debugging, but now I gotta get to work on my homework.

My damn teachers think that Christmas break being near is an excuse to give us 50 million projects, tests, and a shiatload of homework as well for the week before break. :bgrun:

Tommorow night I should have alot more free time, but Thursday I'll be doing a lot of studying and other crappy homework/finalizations for some projects.

12/17

I just finished playing Act 2 and 3 of the Orc Campaign. :ggani:
But there were no piggy riders :(

I'm happy to announce that the TTOA part 2 map still works besides for 2 attachment triggers (takes about .5 seconds to change em).

Though I haven't tested the map in game yet, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

12/18

I did some stuff tonight. Alot of different little things. I'm waiting on two model modifications, animation for the horse model, and 1 skin right now. Once I get the two model edits I'll be able to fully debug the stuff I added a couple of days ago. Then I'll continue on. I'm hoping to have TTOA pt. 2 ready for beta testing sometime this weekend, so beta testers, you can hope for a PM in your inbox soon :ggani:

EDIT: Nobody has posted here for a few days... guess I really need to get that storyline update out :ggani:

*Points at himself* Im a beta tester YEE!

and release some screens or something ;D

Screenies... hmm...
*Digs around*
*Keeps digging*
*Looks deeper*
*And deeper*
*And even deeper*
Ahah!
Oh wait I already released those :bgrun:
Guess I better get to work on my Christmas present for TTOA fans... if I can get it to work...

Some of you might be able to guess what I'm going to try to release...
Theres two letters missing...
G**D...

:ggani: :ggani: :ggani:

I've been working alot on the "Christmas present" tonight :ggani:

Maybe I'll release some screenies... hehehe. I have to upgrade the terrain a bit more first though.

Uh good? lol

Hehe, only people who have been around the site for quite a while will have any chance of guessing what it is. :ggani:
Well it is a Christmas present, so you aren't supposed to know what it is :ggani:

EDIT: Well I'm off to bed. Got quite a bit done on the "Christmas present" tonight :ggani:. It should only take me another day or two to finish it. Hopefully only 1 day, so I can get back to work on TTOA pt. 2 :ggani:

Good night all,
Iron_Ian

ALRIGHT:gsmile: Back online with my upgraded Comp!

I wonder what the x-mas presents going to be? Darn beta testers, i wish i could be one (wink;)wink)

And let's see more screen shots.

I'd post screenies but theres really nothing new visually.
You'll get something in a day or two though, kinda busy w/ the Christmas present right now. Once I fix up a few things in TTOA, I'll do the next section of terrain, and take some screenies.

EDIT: The Christmas present is going well. Though I haven't timed it yet, I think its somewhere around 20-25 minutes :ggani:

12/20

Lotsa work done today on the "Christmas present". I worked almost all day besides eating, a bit of browsing the web, watching some tv for about 2 hours, and playing Halo with DK. :ggani:

I'm bustin' my butt to give u guys a great Christmas :ggani:
And its a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

Alot of work will get done on TTOA since I have a whole 2 weeks off. :ggani:

I'm hoping to:
Complete the christmas present
Complete pt. 2
Have a few minutes on Part 3, and alot of the terrain finished.

Good night all,
Iron_Ian

Well I got alot of work done on the Christmas Present today. I also got Christmas shopping outta the way.

Unfortunately, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today :(
I hope I haven't caught my sisters fever. That would be a great way to ruin my Christmas :bgrun:
I'm hoping I'll feel better tommorow.

Well regardless, I'm gonna do my best to get the Christmas present done by Christmas day. I'll prolly have to delay the TTOA pt. 2 beta to a few days after though.

Good night all,
Iron_Ian

Oh hurray! I'm ****ing sick! Happy happy joy joy!
I caught my sisters fever :(

So if the Christmas present is released late, you'll know why. That is really a major kick to the arse for me. I was working like a madman on the present. I hope I feel better soon, and have the inspiration to keep working on it.

Iron_Ian

It costed me 4 days of work.

I wish you all good helping things Ian, show that you are not only Ian, show that you are also the Iron_Ian^^, so defend your body against this illness and bring us back the sun in our cold hearts by showing us your christmas-present.

I wish you the best. Hope your body is much stronger than even mine, than you could continue to work in one day^^.

:D
