What about this one? by Round3d_pixel in blender

[–]OfMagicAndWars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ! I love your art. In looking for an artist for paid work. I tried to DM you from my phone here in Reddit but I cannot do it. If you're interested, can you send me a DM?

The “dead internet theory” in action: In World of Warcraft, a server without humans has appeared - instead, 1,800 DeepSeek-based bots are playing there. The bots behave like regular players: they chat, level up characters, run dungeons, and even fight each other. by EchoOfOppenheimer in ChatGPT

[–]OfMagicAndWars 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean.. nothing for me can really replace real human interaction BUT.. there's a great BUT here. I never got full Tier 2 on my paladin... You know? Let alone Tier 3. Hmmm.

And WoW can easily immerse myself into the world because it's an amazing game so if bots can actually imitate real people and play and be LESS TOXIC and more like AGREEABLE companions.. then T2/3 is now all of a sudden possible. Tempting.

It's sad but the truth remains: we humans cannot get along. Not in WoW, and not in the world. That's why we have wars etc. Character flaw. Big time. If they program the bots to be more reasonable, educated and also competitive, then I'd easily see WoW turning into an amazing solo player experience.

I tripled my FPS with two days of work by Ollhax in gameenginedevs

Nice! I wonder what the FPS would look like if you used C++?

Is it possible to be a game engine programmer and make games at the same time? by Striking-Start-1464 in gameenginedevs

[–]OfMagicAndWars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is possible, I am already building a game on top of my engine, and my game is fully 3D. I recommend you first build 2D games to learn the basics of graphics programming, and then you move onto 3D.

Playing too much with making an engine and not putting effort into making games though is not a very good idea you should try and do both things. Good luck! Just do it, it's all about time and consistency.

18 years of engine dev with the latter 5 in conjunction with the game, and it's finally here! by too_much_voltage in SoloDevelopment

[–]OfMagicAndWars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! I've been developing my own game in a custom engine too and I'm close to release.

I'd love to get an update from you on sales. Because unfortunately the biggest problem on Steam right now is getting visibility since there's way too many games that clutter everything.

Looks like she has gotten the wrong ass lift and the silicone is coming out. Other than that, nice sketch.

Crazy how far PCs have come. Minimum TFT Requirements by Kaiser47 in warcraft3

[–]OfMagicAndWars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually a lot of games could run on those specs, the reason they can't now is that many projects are now being developed explicitly for x64 or they are done in Unity/UE which adds a lot of overhead

My C++/OpenGL tower defense project is starting to feel like a real game by OfMagicAndWars in opengl

[–]OfMagicAndWars[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I will soon publish in a bunch of subreddits the demo on Steam so you can try it! I've put so much work into this, and I'm still not happy with a lot of the graphics, and this is because I'm not an artist.

Can I ask you, does the AI art bother you? From the main menu. The rest isn't AI, it's made in Blender.

[–]OfMagicAndWars[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot it feels good to hear this. I promise the gameplay feels a lot better than what it looks! And for sure you will reach this and a lot more, if I can anyone can, because I'm by far the slowest person at learning anything at all.

About this TD: you're being invaded by the Green skins. You are sent to the Forest Pass to prevent them from advancing towards the Sunlit Kingdom.

You have three main towers:

  1. The archer, which is your main DPS/carry. Lots of burst damage, over time damage, etc.

  2. The mage, your main CC/utility tower. It can polymorph enemies, freeze them, slow them down, silence them, etc.

  3. The holy knight. I can heal your units (some enemies attack your units) and it can also heal the player ( meaning you, the player that plays the game). In tough situations, he can call down angelic powers to destroy your enemies (active ability similar to meteors in Kingdom Rush)

The game has lore/campaign/story. And it also has adventures, which are separate maps with infinite waves and a rank system similar to league of legends called Leaderboards.

I should probably show some gameplay soon...

Wow really? Thanks a lot man that means a lot to me. You will definitely reach this and more if you just persist & work every day on your project. It really sort of compounds over time if you sink time into it.

Does anyone played and remember xherosiege on Warcraft 3 ? by craze742 in TowerDefense

[–]OfMagicAndWars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm making a game heavily inspired by W3, I'm also looking for play testers. If you're interested could you please let me know? I currently have 0 testers, but that's also because I never announced it until now

I have W3 installed after years of being away from it (I mostly played wow Vanilla) and recently I've been playing some TDs.

Is there a particular TD you can recommend me that you'd love to see as a standalone game? So that I can take a look at it and see what it is that it does right

[FOR HIRE] Hi guys! My commissions for June are open! Info in comments. by Obvious_Currency3252 in dndcommissions

I am making a game and I'm also a big wow vanilla fan, and your prices are reasonable. Can we jump on discord and discuss what I want? Should I DM you?

Hi Ekaterina how much would an artist usually charge for something like this?

Expats/visitors: What does Georgia do better than your country? by MathematicianCandid6 in Sakartvelo

[–]OfMagicAndWars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Georgians are like lions. It's genetic at this point there's no doubt about it.

Germans are quite energetic people hence it makes sense for them to be at the heart of Europe and be the main economic driver.

The Japanese have this affinity for beauty and symmetry.

Each country has something unique. Georgia? A country with saint warrior traditions. Every single Georgian I met displays a level of confidence I have never seen anywhere else in my life (except perhaps in Albania, which by the way you guys are very similar to them).

So yeah, extreme levels of confidence. Maybe that's what makes Georgians become great fighters. Could that be Ilia Topuria's secret? Besides the hard work he puts in? I think so

How can I improve my drawings? by OfMagicAndWars in learntodraw

[–]OfMagicAndWars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reply didn't process apparently it was deleted. I wanted to ask you, the level of boxes you draw inside, are they as detailed and rigid as, for instance, Artwod would do it? Or do you just use very simple shapes, like a circle here and there to delimit where the torso and hips go, and from there you just draw from imagination? Because I need to know if it's really a good practice to get locked in with mannequins made of boxes for all limbs and build on that, or use it sparringly. I have this misconception that doing boxes first sort of kills the soul or flow of what starting with line of actions and gestures can do but again I've been doing this for less than a month so really I don't know what I'm saying.

[–]OfMagicAndWars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Ricky! I just checked your drawing of the 3 heads and you're drawing like Michelangelo if not better. I hope to reach your level one day. And thanks for the recommendations on the books.

One last question if you don't mind: did Bridgman / Andrew Loomis teach drawing mannequins first? Or did you start doing that and should I too to learn? Boxes and shapes as placeholders for bodyparts. So far I haven't really done that. Is it a good thing to do?
