Upgrade to SFK: Vampire Winter & QUESTION (at the end)
Added 2015-02-28 03:32:51 +0000 UTCHey guys! In anticipation of the release on Affect3D, I did some tinkering with SFK: Vampire Winter and upgraded the code.
It should be more robust, more compatible with newer operating systems, AND fullscreen mode works correctly, so on any size or shape of monitor, the image will scale up without distorting! Yay!
So, if you got a copy from my site, you should be able to go back to your download email and re-download the file, to get the better version (although, that's the only change, so if you haven't had any trouble with it and your display is 16:9 widescreen already, you don't really have to bother).
Still! This is important, because it means I'm learning the latest version of my game engine and eventually I'll be able to upgrade and patch all my other products too! ^_^
(SFK: Vampire Halloween is similarly upgraded now, but I haven't created a patch yet, so only anyone who purchases it from now on, or at Affect3D, will get the version with upgraded code - if you want, I can give you a coupon code to "buy" it again for free and get the new version, just send me a message)
QUESTION: Do you guys think SFK5 scenes should be widescreen? It would mean re-doing and then patching SFK5:The Vampires, and that would be a pain in the ass - but all the other scenes are still ahead, and they'd be really pretty in widescreen. But then SFK5 wouldn't match previous products - but I already decided SFK6 will be widescreen and that won't match anyway... I don't know.
What do you guys think?

I'm about to post about my next little thing actually! ^_^

2015-03-16 13:24:46 +0000 UTCIt's not quite that simple (but hopefully pretty close!)... the shots are composed to look right at the shape they are. Making the shots wider just by adding a bunch of unused visual space of the empty room on the sides might be poor composition and make things look weird. I try to make every image look right! Also, sometimes there's unused or unwanted stuff just off camera - like someone's limbs I didn't bother to pose for the scene. So... I'd probably have to do a bit of recomposition - but possibly not too much! I'm going to give it a try, anyway! ^_^
2015-03-16 12:59:19 +0000 UTCDefinitely go for widescreen! The fact that it'll be different from previous SFK installments makes it better. Really, I've always hated the limited resolution of SFK scenes. And besides, isn't it just a question of opening up your rendering software, loading camera positions, save things in widescreen, voila? I guess not. I'm no 3D artist.
2015-03-14 16:32:59 +0000 UTCWell, I'm going to put out the scenes as standalone products... I don't know how to do the rest. I'm just going to compile them all into one program at the end, and give that to everybody too. My goal is for people's hard drives to be completely full of porn... ^_^''
2015-03-11 15:56:58 +0000 UTCI vote for SFK5 to be widescreen. Although you could just put a nifty border around the vampire ones, having the whole thing in widescreen would be really nice. On a side note, if it is feasible via patching, I would start putting out the scenes one at a time as you get them done, with each launching from the map and being greyed out or available based on what is found on the computer. The downside to this approach would be the possibility of a certain combination of scenes causing unforeseen bugs.
