Unity

has there been any news on this game since it was announced? just wondering cause clearly the game has a shit load of potential.

anyways, if not, im sure E3 will answer all questions about the game hopefully.

i think some screenshots were released, though they might have been shots of another jeff minter project. they looked very much like like the milkdrop plugin for windows. waveforms and the like..

aside from that, not much is known, though minter said that the game would be nothing like rez.

i saw some pics too. looked neat, like rez, but better. rez bored me.

not that you didn't already officially suck, but now you're just the worst ever.

What you saw was probably the VLM (Virtual Light Machine, I think). Minter has said that the VLM and Unity are actually one project with two outputs -- i.e. the technology will be the same, with the exception that Unity will be a shooter.

Check this out:



That's one of his "fluffies". It's a "plushie" sphere, rendered with his fur renderer. He says it's real-time. I believe this is one of the eye candy things in Unity.

Lucas: You're going to E3, correct? Snag some pics or movies of this game, I'll host it.

For more info and Minter's development blog, go to http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/ . The blog is located in the forum -- that's where he usually posts pics of what he's working on.

awesome, thanks for the link. i'll have to look into it.

as for E3, none of my connections worked out this year for passes, so im pretty much depending that Bahn can score a spare.

Wait wait wait... now this game is ringing a bell, but where have I seen it before? hmmm... has this been in either EGM or GI in the past many months?

*leaves to do research*

Lucas: Too bad, I hope you can get in.

At any rate, someone here needs to get footage or pics of this game if it's at E3.

Box: It may have been. Lots of people are watching this project.

rez was crazy hard. and the graphics sucked. and i didn't really care for the techo japanese music.
