Winter Break

2009-12-28T14:06:00.000-08:00

With winter break, I've gotten back into my creaetive mood. To start things off, I've made a practice mech.

I've also made an in-game prop, but you'll have to wait to see where it plays part. ^^

Forum and Website Revamp

2009-12-13T00:15:00.000-08:00

The forum and website have undergone a aesthetic makeover,
but still, school has not provided leeway for production.

Suh-high...

2009-11-21T21:54:00.000-08:00

Well, we're still here. The blog's been dead 'cause there's really nothing to update on, unless you want me to update you guys on my progress in learning how to 3D model. Other than that, we're dormant. But yeah, we're still here. It's especially been hard to work lately since midterms are coming up.

Til next time !

Unity 3D

2009-11-11T22:10:00.000-08:00

We have started utlizing Unity 3D for projects.
While AT will still be constructed with RealmCrafter Professional, side projects will be created with Unity in the meanwhile (while RCP is being worked on).

But yeah, we're still alive. I'm about 3/5 into this 1200 page book on 3D modeling I got, so its been working out fine juggling with school and all.

Thanks for looking, nonexistent person! Or if someone is actually checking this blog, then I admire you. :)

Hmm

2009-10-25T10:17:00.000-07:00

I'll keep this blog alive anyhow with these little side projects I've been doing for practice.

Here's a model I call "Dramatic Diabetes [600 calories]".

Hold It

2009-10-24T11:20:00.000-07:00

This project has been put on hiatus until further notice.
We're still here though :)

It's mostly because of school.

Scripting Language Announced

2009-09-18T22:32:00.001-07:00

The official programming language Theorem will be using is C#.

The facility pic also showcases the new bloom shader that we have implemented. ^^
hope you like it.
Now, back to dormancy....

Ravage Started

2009-08-30T16:01:00.000-07:00

<*****>

Well, since my fellow team has been occupied by school like me, then I have started a little side-project. I'm attempting to roughly model Ravage from Transformers2. So yeah. AT's not dead, just in dormant production.

Here is the tail:

Can you say fatal illness?

2009-08-21T22:42:00.000-07:00

In this case, ours is highschool. It is slowing down and killing our progression on this. So yes. Sorry for no recent updates. And sorry for no upcoming updates.

School Starting

resT2 Done

2009-08-11T20:14:00.000-07:00

<**************>

SHITtake mushrooms! I haven't posted in a while. As in 5 days. Well, I've been busy with other things.

Along the way, I've finished the ResT2. Making it taught me a lot.
Heres the comparison; model vs. concept:

I think it came out pretty accurately. :)
One of the few models I'm proud of.

nearing done

<*******>

I've been working on a new ResT2 model as my first model that I am actually going to take more than an a day. I've for the most part got the shape down, now I am texturing.

Here's the underside garage, not fully detailed yet.

I've just been drawing up some concept art for the ResT2, an airship thing.
I won't post it though until I have a rough model to go with it.

just thought i should make a generic name banner with asian characters in the background. aka i was bored.

Catalogue Complete

2009-07-23T20:31:00.000-07:00

<***************>

Here's the completely textured "Catalogue".
Texture took an hour in total due to the fact that my computer decided to crash things midway.

But anyways, hurrrrr:

Not too shabby, eh? This also showcases some dynamic lighting features implemented in the game (technical talk).

oh yeah about 90% through i realized that there was no door. fml lol.

Catalogue Timelapse

And heres the timelapse of the model in the post below i couldnt upload yesterday. I started recording about halfway in, oops.

The Catalogue

2009-07-21T21:47:00.001-07:00

<********>

A model of a museum like thingy.
It's rough, 616 polys. Must texture it still.

It follows the theme of the buildings with the "spiked" roof essence.

Practice

2009-07-18T09:54:00.000-07:00

<*****>

Well, I got really bored and I didn't have any inspiration for game related aspects, so I just modeled the lamp that was 2 feet in front of me for practice.

The time lapse, took me 5 minutes:

Yeah, it's from IKEA! That store is great.

new stuff being modeled

2009-07-17T22:29:00.000-07:00

<*******>

hey its donald,

just here to show you what ive been working on. Mainly I've just modeled a bunch of weapons and stuff like that. So yeah... enjoy!! Oh yeah and one more thing, these are not finalized weapons. The are more like concepts of the models are gonna look like. And I havent textured anything so yeah... these are not final and they can be a lot better...just too lazy/dont kave much time to texture.

This was just a basic pole axe i created. This next one is more complex and looks illogical for slashing but when i created it, I intended it to be more for stabbing but slashing is still possible.

blah

2009-07-16T18:58:00.000-07:00

<*******>

I really dislike posting empty posts, but I vowed to keep this blog alive. And so I am, one way or another.

I really wish that I wasn't the only one posting work by their own will; things would be more motivating and productive if there was more contributions. But I'll try hard to keep pushing on.

^^

Classification

2009-07-15T19:32:00.000-07:00

<********>

From now on, I'll flag "empty" posts with orange asterisks *, and ones with considerable amounts of progress in them with blue *. The amount of asterisks will represent the amount of importance the post actually contains, according to me of course. With orange 15 is the highest, 5 is the lowest (for visibility). For blue, 25 is the top, 5 lowest.

So people who are looking for serious progress and not just my blurbs of everyday life can skip right to the progress by zeroing in on blue asterisks.

As you can see, this post is orange.

More summer school things to do. I might just have some extra minutes towards the end of the day to conjure up something, who knows.

Exactly

2009-07-14T17:18:00.000-07:00

<*****>

No progress today(so far). Gotta work on summer school homework, which is easy, but time consuming...

Summer put to rest

2009-07-13T16:35:00.000-07:00

<******>

Due to summer school, the progress I have been yearning for this summer has gone down the drain. True, I can still work after I get home from summer school, but there is no inspiration level then. I get most of my motivation and inspiration when it's midnight and I have nothing else better to adhere to, but now I have to sleep early in preparation for summer school. Damnit, Granada High School, leave the extra teaching to the people who need it.

Summer school: first day, PSAT.
My project: disabled indefinitely.
My helpers across the world: useless because I don't have time to collaborate and talk to them (they live in different time zones). Slow email is the only way now.

...

But keeping my spirits high ^^
Granada, here I come.

uhh

2009-07-12T22:18:00.001-07:00

<*****>

*update*

Summer school tomorrow, damnit. Gonna slow down the progress, since I: need to sleep early, need to take 5 hours away from my day.

ResT1 Timelapse

2009-07-11T11:56:00.001-07:00

<**********>

For the concept model, it's really rough and high poly, but hey, its made. Here's the time lapse, real time: 15 minutes. Texturing it is gonna take forever.

Saturday, saturday

2009-07-11T11:08:00.000-07:00

<************>

Ah, the weekend, no different than the weekdays, though, considering its summer break.

Like Donald said in the post underneath, we are progressing in programming scripts, otherwise known as coding, for the game. Everything down to what color the dialogue text needs to be coded, so its a large task.

Anyways, here's yet another concept drawing of a war machine created by the USA, UK, and Iran. Why those 3 countries, well that's more of a storyline related detail.

scripting progress

2009-07-10T13:23:00.000-07:00

<********>

In the scheme of things, i have scripted some bits. What I did was scripted an npc's conversation. There is isnt much and it not gonna be a part of the real game. It was just to show that we have some progress in actually scripting the game. We'll get started on the real scripting as soon as possible. But for now we we will just create some models and some concpet art, etc...

Gen's Clock Tower

2009-07-10T12:11:00.000-07:00

<****************>

From now on, I'll try to make time lapse videos of all my models' creations.
Here is the clock tower creation video from the concept picture two posts down, which will go along with Gen; rough real creation time: 7 minutes.

After texturing, which took about 20 minutes. I dislike texturing, it takes so long.

Stillife

2009-07-10T09:58:00.000-07:00

<**********>

This concept is of people who were incarcerated as stone statues of angels, and break free only to tread the Earth with confusion. For now, they are "Stillife", of course derived from the art of still life, which portrays a symbolic meaning.

Again, I left out how it corresponds to the game's story because its too long to type up.

Gen

2009-07-09T13:06:00.000-07:00

<************>

A rough concept art I drew up for the starting zone. It involves the model posted in the post below. The idea is a gateway type thing that does stuff that...is cool...and yeah.

Everything has a beginning

2009-07-08T16:05:00.000-07:00

<********>

And that's why I've remodeled the primary spawn point for players today for the game. I won't provide the nerdy concept stuff, 'cause that's just not me. But there is indeed nerdy concept stuff. I'll leave you with a screenshot.
fyi: All of the images so far in these posts are in-game realtime shots, not 3d renders.

Building Buildings

2009-07-07T13:35:00.000-07:00

<*********>

Like I predicted, I did not post yesterday. But I did think of some ideas, if you want to call them that.

I've modeled up a rough idea for the buildings. Random pillars of rocks shot out on top, giant glass windows, and polished granite walls. The last 2 details correspond similarly to American business building design.
The concept is that the buildings are steel- and diamond-reinforced, out-layered by fine Himalaya granite and crusted by stone only found in Cenduit-Horo.
Don't worry about the suckiness, once the shaders are implemented, the windows and walls will shine. Again, this is just a rough concept. This building is misplaced, planned to be put in with others in a town.

Designer's block

2009-07-05T20:18:00.000-07:00

<********>

I have a general layout for the starting zone, but I can't think of how I want the buildings to look. I don't want those generic medieval houses, nor those super sci-fi ones, since with time travel people would have found better but reasonable technologies, so yes...building mood and tone is a must. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some inspiration while I drive upstate.

Might not post tomorrow.

Happy 4th

2009-07-04T20:20:00.000-07:00

<*****>

It would be logical that there would be no progress today, its the 4th of July. Just going to be chilling with fam.

Don't quote me on this.

2009-07-03T23:32:00.000-07:00

<******>

I have vowed to keep this blog updated everyday I can.

Well, nothing has progressed much today, since I actually have a life and went to the park with my friends and then went to my friends house and played his 6 guitars, haha.

Yes, so, nothing new, but this is considered an update, and I bet you will see many of these empty updates.

Part of the Team

2009-07-02T22:06:00.000-07:00

<******>

Hey all you bloggers out there.
Its Donald, one of the team members aiding Michael in his quest to create an MMORPG. So as one of his own personal friends I have decided to to be part of the team as a 3d designer. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself right now in Blogspot and yeah....here I am! Seeya.

2009-07-02T14:18:00.001-07:00

<********************>

The game engine being used to compile Adroit Theorem is the RCGCE, later being converted to the RCPGCE.
The development stage is Pre-Alpha.
Here are the main team members:

Michael L.

3D+2D design, lead programmer, concept artist, Music composition, social affairs, website development

Donald D.
3D design

Christian K.
3D design, concept art

Let's start here

2009-07-02T13:59:00.001-07:00

<************************>

Hey, so, I've decided to keep a blog on the progress of the projects of Phantasq Productions. Namely, Adroit Theorem, a multiplayer role playing game.
Adroit Theorem's concept foundation is based on time-travel and all the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with it. For a full storyline, email me at supernovadonuts@gmail.com or IM over AIM at wheeitsmichael.

Like many blogs, this one is prone to not being updated for centuries.

I'm just going to start off with a zone picture of Cenduit-Horo, a giant-floating landmass in somewhere.
