the site should now be accessible via https://janesonderground.art , tyrnannoght.eu will be moved to "the game"-only later

One way or another - switching files and projects between engine and program versions is always
"an experience" ?
nothing really stays in place all across the board but if you stick with the old stuff you find yourself proverbially on a server that runs php 5 and miss out all the magic functions ... personally i think Syntax Error-ser has used one php8.0 specific command so far - which already would make it hard to move servers since most will be stuck on 7.3 (at best) or 7.4

Anyways ... the whole map is 100x100km , this bit here "Stenhjemme" is 4x5x5km - Unigine claims to be "to the centimeter"
And so we try , the standard house is 5x5m , which probably for medieval times is pretty large for standard guttertrash housing, however Stenhjemme aint your average settlement ofcourse - the "the Goldman" placeholder is humansized so it all fits more or less - AlleyCat thinks we should start with primitives for placement and then work from there to edit cubes into buildings (for the non standards that is)
o dinners served, lets hope this thing dont crash before im back
the white tile (as AlleyCat would call it , one of the cursors) is about the size of this housing block weve been stuck in since the last destruction of life , 250m² ... so looking at that i wonder how they pack all those houses, ofcourse, its a hill so maybe that means there's more surface to it
As the grand director AlleyCat said : terrain is everywhere so the more we can work into the heightmap the less resources should be used , for instance the bridge and stuff around is no mesh , heightmaps are thus far first made in GIMP on one or two channels , mostly red-only in 15 or 30 steps (its a bit complex but not TOO once you know how that works) due to the option to scale it that gives one map a lot of options (hence the idea to create HEI-tek for future use and standard proto heightmaptex-generations
same for the marhsland ... (lets see if i can find the maps)

thats actually the 2d underlying picture which displays as what you see in the world, now wysiwig editors are probably not used like that but we also think most would use meshes i.o. the terrain itself for most stuff. If you know what goes where its not all that once you use a prefab engine. So in essence we more or less know what we're doing and given the fact that the most I.T. we ever had in schools was "plug plug in here and this is a floppy" we feel like we can hold heads high to the pro's with the million dollar studios
we just miss the million dollars :)
the bottorm right one is the original tiled map used for the browser game (that also wont be) which is stuck to the landmass as one huge albedo map so we can easily paint terrain-heights where needed b/c the picture shows what is where
this is also "just terrain" , no meshes (xept the houses ofcourse)
the dark one snickers
As it turns out the system isnt really made to bake particles in blender while modding in unigine at the same time ...
But that Ryzen will have to wait - last time we checked it really IS almost half a years money
And weird rendertimes in blender x.93
the goldman like 30 seconds
Ordin about 40
Orm somewhere around 14 , thats all cycles but for some reason the NEWER chars seem to be cussin' on cycles
Unasieh having a bad hairday for example
Oh yea, once we got to the masking bits another new world opened up (thats still all "just terrain" for the canals)
"the residential" district, watched over by Mother Purlin (Senefrega) , 5km²
Here it shows the tiled jpg as albedo, each tile represents 5km² , the whole settlement is visible which is alreayd stretching (i mean who the hell has a 20km view anywhere on earth?)
and so - i dare say i had expected a little more from a system with an i5 an rtx 3070 and 32gb of ddr4 blazers ..
ssd too
... go figure - i wonder what those pukkers use who do those demonstrations on youtube , maybe a chinese renderfarm/supercomputer or something
at any rate, we cant spend half a years money on a ryzen board and cpu just to do a hobby that gets zero money :)
Omoshiroi, im gonna post and edit later

we tried creating a @janesonderground account but as it turns out account creation has been disabled and is now for the rich only so we'll have to stick with this one and put it all on one feed

No intention of explaining every little bit on a game that will very likely never get finished but forever hold your silence please, especially the PRO's with ten degrees and zero inspiration who are oil in a pipeline ?
its YOUR CHOICE, you should respect ours
its not like we cant, its we're unable to take dick up the ass for money and so if theres no independence we will die alone and probably rotten hahah
in a hole
we hate
since we was "i" and i was 15
tschuess
how much "writing" comes with that ?
more than a six page essay dearie
but its not considered literature as yet
ah, the language ?
so they say but in dutch or flemish it means nothing and the central cesspit is a nasty place ...
and frankly, my dear , if we were in the money to do this right and on the paying and employing end
NO ONE WOULD GIVE A SHIT HOW MANY FUCKS WE CRACK A DAY :))
(chucklez) gud
dishes
(all that stuff, dishes, laundry, mopping the floor cleaning bathroom toilet ... tell me, Bill ... how many times a month you do that ?)
<hr>
aaah, precious, what are you worried about anyway ? no one reads this shit and if they do maybe they'll pite an idea but there certainly wont be the money -
the words ?
well
<h1>FUCK THAT</h1>
like they fucked us , yasss
after 2 hours unassi isnt rendering yet in cycles, it refuses to do he Xian-Kirei too ... which is not world-breaking but annoying to the point of consistency and MOSTLY the question mark it leaves as to WHY
gud - my back and neck is broken now from the sitting up too much without breaking in time ... (you think so, but its something you shouldnt have before the age of 70 i suppose, SUCKS TO BE this body)
triffids taking over the planet, its clear its triffids now, right ? they alter your thinking, soon NOT being a triffid will be reason for a good ole lynchin'
anyways
ANYWAYS !

hmmm
there's no need for name-consistency in citizens b/c they're all imported , they all "washed up" but the other names will have phonemical consistency
we learned a lot from reading tolkien, vance, zelazny and le guin since we was i and i was eight
and THAT was writing
dearie ...
i didnt have internet until i was ....
25 ? maybe ?
hmmm ...
