RE: mastodon.gamedev.place/@wauzmo

Кто-то ещё помнит #ElysianEclipse? Это игра в раннем доступе, вдохновлённая демонстрацией идей для #Spore на GDC 2005, которые так и не попали в финальную игру, но зато теперь есть в Elysian Eclipse. :neocat_hug_dragn:

The stat system has been reworked. Health and damage values are now much higher, making them easier to balance without needing decimals. Furthermore age and skill levels now have proper tooltips, letting you see the exact rewards you get.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A crabfish swimming through an aquatic stage area. The tooltip for its age reads:

Juvenile Age
Get older to unlock more inventory space, as well as new social interactions.

435 / 2,400 (18.13%)

Next Reward: 4 Inventory Slots

Active Rewards: 8 Inventory Slots

Instead of having just a single level, your species can now earn experience in different skills! These grant bonuses like permanent stat increases. Reaching new stages will also unlock more skills.

Blorb has been sent to the new space stage prototype. Here he will construct a space station, the Blorb Station™, which will serve as hub for testing space stage mechanics. Wish him luck, as he ventures where no Blorb has gone before!

nioques, frisbees e altre deviazioni / differx. 2021

un cenno ai frisbees, di Giulia Niccolai, è anche nel microsaggio che ho dedicato a Carlo Bordini nel n. 76 del “verri” (giugno 2021).
in quella sede ma anche altrove cerco — come sempre — di spostare la riflessione nella direzione del post che si vede qui di seguito:
https://slowforward.net/2021/06/22/una-nota-di-jean-marie-gleize-a-margine-di-una-recente-lettura-al-cipm/

quando si parla di postpoésie ci si può innanzitutto porre all’esterno del rigido circo dei generi letterari; e inoltre risulta del tutto legittimo parlare di qualcosa che implica e assume non soltanto altri abiti, forme, inflessioni, dimensioni, profili, ma infine identità: altri nomi. e idiomi. (si può e forse si deve dire che la dimensione idiomatica qui sopravanza tutte le altre).

quali sono questi altri nomi? questi oggetti verbali non identificati?

(non dico “nuovi”, dico “altri”). (anche se in Italia tutto sembra voler manifestarsi come nuovo, perché perfino la DC ha fatto in tempo a morire ma le forme dell’assertività letteraria ancora reggono).

epiphanies (James Joyce 1900-1904), tender buttons (Gertrude Stein 1914), tropismes (Nathalie Sarraute 1939), notes (Marcel Duchamp, pubbl. post. 1980), nioques (Francis Ponge 1983, Jean-Marie Gleize), proêmes (Ponge), textes pour rien (Samuel Beckett), antéfixes o dépôts de savoir & de technique (Denis Roche), descrizioni in atto (Roberto Roversi), verbotetture (Arrigo Lora Totino 1966), bricolages (Renato Pedio), domande a risposta multipla (John Ashbery; e cfr. Alejandro Zambra, nel nostro secolo), mobiles o boomerangs (Michel Butor), visas (Vittorio Reta), postkarten (Edoardo Sanguineti 1978), sentences (Robert Grenier 1978), subtotals (Gregory Burnham), films (Corrado Costa), schizografie (Gian Paolo Roffi), drafts (Rachel Blau DuPlessis), esercizi ed epigrammi (Elio Pagliarani), frisbees (Giulia Niccolai), anachronismes (Christophe Tarkos), remarques (Nathalie Quintane), ricognizioni (Riccardo Cavallo), anatre di ghiaccio (Mariano Bàino), lettere nere (Andrea Raos), linee (Florinda Fusco), ossidiane e endoglosse e microtensori e “installances” (Marco Giovenale 2001, 2004, 2010, 2010), tracce (Gherardo Bortolotti 2005), prati (Andrea Inglese), diphasic rumors (Jon Leon 2008), united automations (Roberto Cavallera 2012), paragrafi (Michele Zaffarano 2014), incidents (Luc Bénazet 2018), sentences (Cia Rinne 2019), defixiones (Daniele Poletti),  avventure minime (Alessandro Broggi), développements (Jérôme Game), conglomerati (Andrea Zanzotto), saturazioni (Simona Menicocci), nughette (Leonardo Canella), sinapsi (Marilina Ciaco), dottrine (Pasquale Polidori), disordini (Fiammetta Cirilli), spostamenti (Carlo Sperduti), spore (Antonio F. Perozzi). E aggiungerei le frecce di Milli Graffi.

senza contare le infinite modalità (perlopiù elencative) messe su pagina da Perec (le cartoline e le passeggiate raccolte nell’Infra-ordinaire, o le stringhe di Je me souviens). durante una conversazione, tempo fa Luigi Magno ha suggerito di pensare alle stesse cancellature di Isgrò come a dispositivi di questo tipo, oltretutto in forma di ponte fra la scrittura e l’arte. per tacere, in tal senso, delle innumerevoli soluzioni disseminate nel tempo da Emilio Villa: “cause”, “variazioni”, “madrigali”, “attributi”, “phrenodiae”, “méditations courtes”, “videogrammi”, “options”, “letanie”, “sibille”, “trous”, “labirinti”, “tarocchi”, … (tutte forme disperse come, già nel 1949, “i sassi nel Tevere”).

Some more progress on the plant editor. You can now create twisted tree trunks. The "cap" of this plant is a work in progress version of one of the first fungus parts.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A red plant with a twisted stem and thorny branches. The stem ends in a broad cap, which branches into a circle of tentacles with a bush in its center.

The material selector is here! It lets you change the material of the individual regions of hut and plant parts. It even lets you change the leaf shape of foliage. Here, I used it to create a bamboo hut.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A simple bamboo hut, made in the hut editor. The chimney is selected and the inspector shows a selection of different materials for it. The selected material is marked with a checkmark icon.

RE: fuckaas.space/@fuckfetish/1158

and on this note... why the fuck do we have a dozen wannabe spore successors dawg. none of you are ever going to be able to match the output of an entire company on your own. we do not need a dozen janky prototypes of the cell / creature stage. nobody is asking for that. please for the love of god just collaborate

Fun fact: I wanted to make the hero protagonist of my webcomic to be similar to Spark the Electric Jester, so I decided to make a reference pic in #Spore . On a second thought: meh, a bit too cheesy.

#worldbuilding

An image of a mostly yellow (with some cyan and gray parts) bipedal Spore creature

I made several improvements to mount and camera controls:

- The mount will now try to land by itself, when you jump off while being in the air.
- The camera now focuses on the center of the mount, instead of staying on your creature.
- The camera's zoom and rotation range automatically adjusts, so big mounts don't cover too much of your screen.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A crabfishing flying through the sky at dusk. The camera is zoomed out further than the usual maximum.

Elysian Eclipse now has new fonts! The text is now more stylized and rounded, especially for headings. Small caps have been removed completely to make everything more consistent.

Here is a before and after of the archive.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

Before: Hard edges on letters. Titles and buttons use small caps.Before: Rounded edges on letters. Titles are thick and round. No usage of small caps.

Mounts now have their own ability hotbars! While riding the crabfish, you can let it perform a spin dash, just like in aquatic stage. Its health and energy are shown too while riding.

The same system will be used when controlling a space ship in the upcoming prototype.

Also, dismounting has been turned into an ability on the hotbar, so you can trigger it with both the hotkey or the mouse.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame

A garfield-like creature, riding on a crabfish. Two additonal health and energy meters are shown on the HUD. Mount health has a horse icon, while energy has a carrot icon. The hotbar contains the dash and dismount abilities. The space between them is filled with empty slots.

Happy New Year! So, this is it. The first year ever, I'm not employed anymore and can fully focus on Seven Ducks Studios. 👀
