Update on 3D Engine

[GP32 Kirby]

gp32news announces engine demo will be released soon! Also check out this map (based on Wipeout 2097) created on the engine too, it loox cool

I can't wait, but how do you create a game or something? Do you have to code it, or should it be easier than coding a game from scratch? I just don't understand the whole idea of an "engine."

I think its basically all the physics and basic coding has been done, so you just need to add your code to show it how to look.

I think it will be just like creating a map for half-life, so who wants to start work on a half-lif clone then?

 

[zboy9]

I was just wondering about the coding since I have never coded in my life. Most likely some more details will be released when it is released.

You use a map editor. Something like you see a top view of the map with a grid, and you can add/take away walls, coloums, celing. And elevate ground and stuff like that. Then you do something like click on make, and it makes a file that you put in GPMM/YETI3D or something then you start yeti3d and you see your map At leats thats what I understand...

Wipeout would be cool on GP32 *Hint Hint hehe

 

[shotaway]

this is so cool....
such a vercatile engine....can't wait......(another...hint,hint)

 

[Dozer]

Oh has be added a gui for map editing?

no room-over-room.

How do you know this? I know this would have been the case if it was based on the CUBE engine, but it is based on Yeti3D

Hmmm...I say with all of the news posted by ThunderZ himself on the port of this 3D Engine, I think we have fair right to kill him if he doesn't release a demo soon

Heh.

 

[Bionic Bill]

Yeti3D is based on CUBE, so no room-over-room, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Neomorpheus]

Just had a look at the wipeout map and it looks amazing
can't wait for this.

He isn't making/porting a game creation system, it's just the code to handle 3d objects and worlds/maps. If someone wanted to make a game using this engine, they'd still have to code all the player movement, weapons, enemy movement and intelligence etc.

I'm intrested in knowing what FPS it runs at on actual hardware? I heard the GBA version ran pretty smoothly, so hopefully with the GP32's extra power, it should have no problems running it.

 

[rcx21000_the_second]

Muhahhaha, I know how to get Yeti3D GP32 before it is released Just play the videos of it in GP Cine Muhahahhahahaha

Anyways, I don't care if you can't make games w/o changing to code, it's good to show off the power of the GP32

 

[crazeeplaya]

Rumour has it that it runs at a smoooooooooth 40fps

 

[jegHegy]

yep, it's very fast. and as Bionic Bill stated, Yeti3D follows the same idea that's behind Cube, so no room-over-room.

I will now show my ignorance of 3D games by asking:

What is "room-over-room"?!

/never played Half-Life
