Shenmue in CryEngine

Yeah that's not bad. I like seeing the original image as it helps to put the close-up texture into context.

Should the textures be as seamless as possible on all four sides? Do you have a quick method of doing that? That's something I'll pay attention to on the next attempt.

Looks good. Is there going to be a topic to track this? I can setup a github acccount and bugtracker / wiki.

You can do it pretty easily on a single axis in PS using Offset.

yeah it needs to be perfectly seamless or I can't stack them, I have a quick way of making them seamless but if you look in the second pic you'll notice by doing so shadows got put in weird places, the best way to prevent this is having the texture as clean as possible (no darker or higher lighting in certain areas)

yeah mittz will make one when he gets back to the dojo, we'll decide about everything there I gues, until then we're highjacking this one

[Takumi]

Sounds good.

Any preference for a tracker? We could user Google Poject, or an open source bundle like Trac. Assembla has pay-for services, but it's very robust with bug tracking, a team wiki, collaboration tools and git support.

I'd have no issues with shelling out some $ for proper support if everyone is on board.

I have something in mind.

What's this referring to?

[Peter]

Guys, what is it you are actually developing? Is it a playable game? Is it a remake, or new development of the Chapter 2 boat scene? Just i will move the relevant posts to the modding section with its own title and links if it gets off the ground.

[MiTT3NZ]

Don't worry, I'm makin a topic for it tomorrow.

Well ive been dying to know but no-one seems to know what engines and softwares ect ect where used in the first two games, A certain they know who they are asked me to make a lucky hit flash game for teamyu.net, now we all know flash is terrible for realtime physics so ive got a real challenge ahead of me if im gonna live up to shenmue 2. ive looked at tonnes of realtime and none of it no matter who or what can live up to shenmue 2's lucky hit. seems odd but Ive ran massive realtime physics from passing spacecraft to golf balls on my pc and nothing can beat lucky hits realtime physics. even sega's current games which graphically and physically outperform anything today (Dont believe my try running anything they've made recently on your PC ). anyways, what im trying to say is nothing will outperform shenmue 1 and 2 unless their made with the same effort and love and imperfection tat they were over 12 years ago., no matter what they do even if they are better they wont be, and thats why I want to know more on their making. (And Manchester city rules )

I'm sure using a combination of Starling, Away3D and Box2D (or Jig Lib which is more 3D-centric) you could come up with something remarkably similar. Box2D can also be offloaded to a worker thread using native extensions, exponentially increasing the performance. Starling uses Stage3D and is GPU accelerated using GLES 2.0 native bindings.

There have been complex physics demos shown that have 100s of textured objects, never dipping below 60FPS. You should be ok.

Cheers, ill look into it.

unity can export in Flash and can easily reproduce the physics of lucky hit, in fact some people have already made a lucky hit game for iphone and android using unity

unity can export in Flash and can easily reproduce the physics of lucky hit...

Watch out when using Unity to export to flash. Performance is lackluster and there's a ton of bugs. Check the latest change log before you start down that road.

maybe, I have no interest in flash at all so can't say the quality of it at all, all I know is that a lot of people have been using it for making flash based apps recently
