Uhm... The picture is of a guy with a big gun getting pwned by six-legged aliens. A rather concise summary of Tremulous I think...

Well, fucking fuckity fuck cakes.  I thought this was a thread somebody spontaneously started to discuss the awesomeness that is John Carpenter's The (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouZkkIsLiNg) Thing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW4dVh_hHik).

Damn you, Optimus!!112!!!!

well this HAS to do smething with Trem, cuz it'd an unarmored rifle wielder vs a dretch doing a headbite + a basilisk.
I know my style is a bit different from the game but this is the true way i experience that ^^

and this is not a stolen pic from somewhere around the intrnet but i made it myself -.-

1st u will put it there anyways, as you are doing this with all my threads.

2nd i made efforts on drawing this stuff so plz dont call it nonsense. but as its a forum you can honestly tell if you dont like it, that's why i've put it here.

3rd i dont understand why should a TREMULOUS comic be OFF TOPIC as long as it's TOPIC IS TREMULOUS....???

i really don't know when did i hurt you so much -.-

hmmm, as there is quite a lot 'fan-art', like movies, short stories, poems, pixelart, etc for the game, maybe there should be a "Creativez" main topic amongst the others.

No.. you can't post this in the off topic forums because that is "Discussion of things not related to Tremulous" and since this is as you say, an image of tremulous it can't go there.. you will simply have to wedge it in between a couple of sections i guess... :/

Nice picture.. you need to turn it into an actual comic, and make it regular.. there is too much, meh.. this is what i started but i'm not going to finish it ever, stuff going on.. be the one.. the one to finish, be a rebel and break the cycle!

Truly, one only learns to write finished stories by actually finishing stories. Hardest lesson about writing I ever learned (only took me a couple of decades of screwing around to realize that one doesn't learn to finish things by abandoning them and starting new things, one learns to finish things by actually doing so).

despite your Rock-hard heart, i am sure there are creative stuff that you like too. maybe the stick figures, as this complicated kind of drawing style confuses your senses and finds this nonsense. ;-)

but just take a look at this thread.
half of the comments are discussions about the where-to-put stuff, what is truly OFF-TOPIC. in this point of view it could be at OT :-P what is sad.

I'm writing the story, but my english is far not perfect enough to translate everything properly, so I'd need help for that. so if anyone is in the mood, and will have some time for it (like half year later), i'd rly appreciate that ^^

ty all for support, picture in colors will be ready probably this week.

You know, call me crazy, but I don't see the problem with posting fanart--great fanart at that--of Tremulous to a forum dedicated to the discussion of things relating to Tremulous. It just wouldn't make sense to put it in Off-Topic.

Perhaps the mods here can stop being so stubborn, realize that sometimes (*cough*often*cough*) they're wrong, and listen to the suggestions made by the members.

in other words, Opti....love the work. take it from one who has crashed,burned,tried to arise from the wreckage just to crash again.
  Once you start, for the sake of the gods, DON"T EVER STOP DOING THIS AWESOME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a great talent. Use it.


btw don't suck like Dave Anez........i still have nightmares about him...

Post by: + OPTIMUS + on December 11, 2007, 02:41:55 pm
well it depends...

if i can fight trough my way with this project in school, i will make my final work for diploma with it. in this case, it should be ready by the end of spring.
but i doubt that my old fag teachers would like to see chompin' and shootin' and stuff at the university's exhibitions ^^ it depends on them.

if not, i will start it at summer, but the interactive structure will be ready with the diploma anyway.
apart from the interactive part, i need to make the animations of atcs, some 3D model of weapons and alien classes, then to make it's textures and line animation again manually form frame-by frame prints (like 15drawings/sec), plus all the drawings of all the scenes, painting backgrounds, co-operate with a translator, finding music and sound FX, adding the video SFX and other stuffs.
if i start at summer, it can be ready till august or smthng like that.

btw i dont really know what does 'cheesy' means in this case, but as i can imagine the hot cheese stretching on a pizza, i would say you're talking about the time of making ^^

Like I expected, this has very little to do with the community members and other moderators opinion. (as seen in other threads, votes, etc.)

I understand your point of view, but shitting others democratic solution straight in the face is something that i don't find sexy.

It will be boring for both of us to move every single thread to OT what i make when i come up with a new sketch. The nicer version would be to keep only one in GD that i can update occasionally.
Title: Re: The Thing
Post by: Lava Croft on December 14, 2007, 08:29:04 am
This thread is not meant to be your personal diary. I already expected your Tremulous drawing would result in a thread very little do with Tremulous, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, deemed myself wrong and moved it back to GD.
Surprisingly, my inital reaction was correct and the thread deteriorated into some Off-Topic babbling.
Nothing is wrong with Off-Topic babbling, but as the name suggests, it belongs in Off-Topic.

Now, I know that you are a rather egocentric person and that you will most likely take this as a personal matter, along the lines of 'Lava Croft does not like me and therefore moves my threads to Off-Topic', but I can assure you this is not the case.
Title: Re: The Thing
Post by: + OPTIMUS + on December 14, 2007, 10:13:13 am
The 'personal diary' was a reply to posts, and it wasn't a necro, since the cheesy guys dug up the thing's bones.
Making a 'to-do-list' is not anything personal, but strictly connected to the topic - while i'm sorry to mention my diploma. And more, looking at the things needed, maybe some reader folks can help me with special parts (like they did and sent me ATCS that i could open in 3Ds Max and be able to make renders of it, and probably some american/english guys like p1 offered, can help me to use proper english in that).

I don't take your acts as a personal threat, I just say you are overreacting your duty, while sacrificing you dignity to show-off against all the other people who said GD should make place for fan-art.

first, forgive my impudenc but what do you mean by necro?

second, how were the bones "Dug Up", as you put it, for i saw there was a small jump in posts(november 23 to december 10) when i replied(sometimes i can't login for a loooooong while), but other than that it looked pretty much replied to every day...

just asking,


and opti, if you need translation/proof-reading for this project, i suggest getting many people to help, like a committee of those who offer their help to do so.

I also offer my help, though Translation(unless its german,) i cant do while error check and the such, i can do.I also understand if you don't need my help, or you arent going to do this fo a while, but if you choose to do this then contact me. thanks.

@MMechanic

the "necro" thing was only for The Lovercraft.
about the translation: I will make version with my kinky english, and a hungarian version at the same time, then Tycho will translate that. After that, you, p1 or other language magicians can rearrange all to get the perfect english feeling - we should prefer dudes with native english.
