The Zone in HD - Leadwerks Engine

[higoshimaru]

Is the modeling in this fun? I am really new to this stuff so what should I do first? Learn C++ and Java or something? I'm really out of my element but I want to get into this stuff

[TheVoxyyn]

What languages can you code in with Leadwerks?

[B1SCOOP]

Any big game in production?

[CokeTECK]

Can i make 3rd Person Game with this Engine????

[Evayrr]

@CokeTECK Yes. You can make any type of game with this engine.

[Duelmaster09]

this'd be nice for stalker 2

[sneekyo]

this is impressive but udk is so much better I'm sorry even visually, this program can't compare

[Geoxile]

I have a question. When you say we can code in any language we want, does that mean we have access to source codes?

[Blinkwing]

the leadwerks-logo looks like the "cube" logo

[minckaful]

2:35 Why?!

I just watched a nice video of some awesome graphics and then suddenly NOPE.

[kristallize]

For the first moment I thought it IS Stalker.

[glopydop]

GET OUT OF HERE S.T.A.L.K.E.R!

[LadyTutorial]

will this actually be a game in the future or is this just a video to show us the power of the engine?

[rekindledsoftware]

@LadyTutorial I believe this was to demonstrate what can be created with Leadwerks by only one person.

[RobHartley1250]

Chernobyl, Russia.

[std256]

@RobHartley1250 you better check your maps. not in russia, but ukraine

[std256]

@RobHartley1250 also it has nothing similar with mentioned exclusion zone. an abstract fable from designers

[Videomashupco]

Can you make people you can interact with talk and help?

[MomentumStudios1250]

thank you very much for the reply ill be purchasing as soon as it is available

[MomentumStudios1250]

Last Q, i purchased T3D Binary and i noticed a very generous discount on your site does that discount apply to binary owners?

[Leadwerks]

@MomentumStudios1250 Yes

[MomentumStudios1250]

After Torque unfortunately stopped, i looked into the engine and what i found was that the engines i had being using were cutting me short, in the coding section, there is plenty of freedom in leadwerks however i recommend people try before they buy, some people just aint coders, other than that beautiful engine. And just to check in version 3, u stated that no code was needed, has coding been removed or simply the function to not use it has been added?

[Leadwerks]

@MomentumStudios1250 You can code a game in Leadwerks Engine 3 with pure C++ if you want, or use a combination of script and code in any language, or without any code at all. There are layers of control, and they actually work together nicely instead of fighting.

[StopNation]

@Leadwerks Does it use Lua still?

[fasyjr]

cool

[KanadaVCK]

2:10 thats my house :D

[Beolex]

Can you make an entire game just using Leadwerks? Does it even do the C++/XML coding for you?

[Leadwerks]

@Beolex it does not code for you, but you can actually make a game with the upcoming version 3 without coding.

[Beolex]

Wow, thanks for the reply!

[microgamestation]

@Leadwerks This engine looks very similar to values source engine are they related in any way?

(sorry for my bad English)

[GordonFreeMANness]

Textures DO look nice. As well as level design.

[GordonFreeMANness]

GSC should license your engine instead of developing their own crappy one.

[skatejam7]

i downloaded the evaluation kit, i tried to open it and i got an alert saying i didnt have openAL and then another alert saying exception_access_violation or something and then the program closed. so i installed openAL and now the program just opens for a split second and then closes itself without any alerts? :S the only thing i found that might of been it on the internet is the fact that McAfee sees it as a trojan, but when i looked i dont even use McAfee anymore :S

[ianster0102]

STALKER SHADOW OF SHERNOLBY : D

[jzone2006]

@SC2fans GTFO, I don't see you making any nicer engines.

[GordonFreeMANness]

@jzone2006 Agreed.

[bob4life10]

get out of here, stalker.

[DrBob1991]

Looks very good.

But I think there are too many trees and they look too healthy to be in The Zone.

[fasyjr]

@DrBob1991 iagree rust was good

[xTyleRxShreDx]

wasn't this started out on CE2?

I swear i remember giving tips on some models to a Dave Lee..

[Leadwerks]

@xTyleRxShreDx Yes, and I found Dave's work and wanted him to do something with my engine.

[tonydamaga]

i love the leadwerk engine . so cheap and so good !

[megbulb]

is this a arma mod by any chance

[TheRealNici]

0:49 The shadows on both sides do have some weird popup-effects. Maybe you should fix that in upcoming versions of the engine :)

I'm thinking about buying a license. It looks great, and I heard good stuff about it.

One Problem: The last versions evaluation kit featured flickering shadows and buggy physics on my GTX480 :(( Had the newest drivers. :/

[duke222222]

I don't like how the sky doesn't match the actual lighting conditions. With an overcast sky the shadows would hardly be there!

[AETrainingDavid97]

Dang.... This is awesome.

Since I'm a Stalker fan, I love to see people do things with it, but this is just fantastic work.

[Leadwerks]

@AETrainingDavid97 me too! Although I think we will do a new theme for the next demo, something completely different.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@Leadwerks Cool.

This engine looks amazing.

[exostalker]

More grass, more trees, more random trash please! For gods sake, it's been abandoned for almost 30 years, and it looks like my yard.

[BeAnAgeLabs]

Maybe its just me, but watching the vid, I had the constant feeling that "something" is missing.

Its propably that everything looks so clean. Theres not enough chaos! Why arent the roads damaged at all? The buildings have missing roofs, but apart from that. NO structural damage? Same counts for the bridges! It looks more like overall bad maintenance than serious apocaliypse atmosphere! Uncanny valley for me!

Apart from the criticism, I like the vegetation A LOT!

[Leadwerks]

@BeAnAgeLabs good point, thanks for the feedback.

[koko56]

@BeAnAgeLabs I think I agree with you here.

The wind on foliage (in the distance especially) was quite good.

[mark009vn]

@BeAnAgeLabs Indeed, it need to be more rustier, more dusty. Lighting needs to be darker. There needs to be more wreckage. Textures, expecially the buildings are too and one toned, it needs to be more spiced up with damage, radiation rusts. Buildings looks too simple and too much like each other. Fires needs to be bigger, and smoke need to be comming out of it. The 1:11 brick pile looks odd. The bridge in 1:17 needs to be taller and the cammera need to point more at the sun.

[mark009vn]

...The "bridge and road" scene at 1:31 scene need to have more props and wrecked car to it. Interiors looks too empty and clean. And yeah, thats about it, its missing alot, but its damn good work never the less

[bringingbettergaming]

Can you make the building destructive?

[MattWensley1992]

haha the train says leadwerks engine

[JerezJulio]

what tool do your artist use to make this kind of level.

[80strowns]

How many people and how long did it take to create this scene?

[Leadwerks]

@80strowns, 2 artists and about three months.

[JerezJulio]

Oh darn, I think some of the big Kajunas engine are having some competition.

I bet some companies are getting some indigestion.

Keep it up man you may end up being bought by some of the bigger fishes out there just to get you out of the way.

Man some one si making really good art for you.

[tjc0der]

@JerezJulio Go try to make sandbox levels with it..

Also add a decade to the time it takes to make this. That's around the time it takes to acquire these texturing skills. I'm sure they have people who will do it for you though.

[GeekMatrix]

What type of programming language do you need to know to work with this engine?

[Leadwerks]

@GeekMatrix Lua, C++, C#, BltzMax will all work, along with just about any other language.

[Slumpyjulius]

only if this was ten dollars cheaper

[krasav4ik82]

Yeah, Josh is a big fan. To bad no version 2.31 for me... everything else looks good.

[mark009vn]

Hmm, looks a lot like STALKER, down to the lighting and sun shafts
