  1. linux hasnt removed support for openal? Apple has deprecated openal so that is going to be changed, we havent been able to do a proper full test of the engine on linux, i have a ubuntu 20.04 build and everything seems to work alright if you build it with vscode. We have just a simple level to test stuff on called outpost
  2. its voodoo magic that only Azaezel can understand how it works lol
  3. Sorry for not replying sooner, Really i would wait until the merge is done. There will be more tools available and shaders are going to be in the pipeline as well. I know its taking a bit of time to get it done but that will inevitably be a better option for all concerned. It will have the ability to build on its own as well without the 3d end of things getting in the way. And also will have networking ability and editors and so much stuff i can't even remember half of what is implemented lol but it will hopefully have everything you will need
  4. we can make it at a time that suits most people like this isn't set in stone yet lol
  5. that is the idea use the next version that is precompiled release of preview 4.0, the other thing this one just for the moment is going to be just T3D later on there will be a T2D one as well just because i think for testing purposes both engines have very different needs
  6. so to answer all of this 48 hours was just something stupid to put into one of the answers the rules are not set yet it could be a weekend thing could be a week long thing don't take the 2 days thing so literally you'll give yourself a heart attack anyone that thinks the point of a game jam is to create a game in 2 days is laughably stupid. Most of the time it is usually to make a single level or even just a concept and on the face of it most of the time it is to not only test yourself but to test the technology. Torque 4.0 is nearing closer and closer and therefore it needs testing and put through as much stress as possible to show potential flaws and or features that need to be added for 4.1. "Game jams usually produce primitive garbage games" some of the games that have came out of jams have better gameplay and look better than some of the shit that has took years of development. "because you cannot control how much time someone really spend on it" this is why these discussions happen, az jeff and i are talking about possible themes that would be announced when the jam starts not months in advance. Not only that but how many game jams are just about artwork? Practically none tbh because a game can look as nice as anything but if it doesn't have good gameplay it would be shit and wouldn't win. Visuals most of the time aren't even marked or counted let alone praised. If you don't like the idea of a game jam, you don't need to take part its that simple. Everyone else that is interested in it can and hopefully will. Its very easy with the new engine to get something up and running rather quickly and there will be modules and assets in place to help people too. Hell one of the ideas might be to do with using certain assets only so that takes your art out of the question.
  7. funnily enough i was thinking something similar along these lines, there is a lot of art out there that was released for torque and is still free and open source that we could pack into one download
  8. +1 Not to mention the urgency leads to some good ideas that could even end up in another project. Its like brainstorming you fire out ideas so quick your brain just makes it second nature and you stumble onto ideas you never thought you could come up with.
  9. @Scott Burns damn a wild scott appeared good see some members of the old guard
  10. this could be set to take place anytime yano pick a weekend or something, most of the game jams ive seen are usually only a single level that showcases gameplay and most of the time its simple gameplay too make this sphere run away from this deadly cube kinda stuff lol
  11. can compete just can't win lol i want to take part as well even though i can't win because ill be offering up the prize, ill just be taking part as a way to train because its what game jams are good for exercise the mind a bit test the engine etc
  12. kinda what a game jam is all about lol
