[round agate]

[round agate]

[round agate]

oh yeah I also do stuff for https://discord.com/channels/346444423271415819/1477576428617994345

[gentle escarp]

im suing yalls asses

[round agate]

interesting

[round agate]

It’s actually based off of some computer speakers from an old hp desktop, with some creative liberties taken. As of now I’m refining the design to be a bit different and more similar to the actual speakers

[gentle escarp]

okay good 😭

because i vividly remember showing it on stream and you and kaz tried recreating it and seeing which one was better

[round agate]

Oh I do remember that lol

Yeah I never ended up using that recreation

I’m not that scummy

[gentle escarp]

yeah just be careful, i'm 99% sure my staff team would probably kill anyone who has assets that look like theyre copying ours lmao

no worries, youre fine, just make sure it looks a bit more like those hp ones

speaking of i love the blue fabric on it

[round agate]

some WIP concepts for the specific nuclear divition of Way-Star

the nuclear division would've handled the normal nuclear power stations as well as the three fusion reactor models (still working on a name for them) with their respective specialized personnel

this was originally going to be a logo for the scrapped idea of a Way-Star Energy Worker's Union but I realized that it looked like a communist flag in that context so I simplified the design a bit and made these

this will likely appear alongside or replace the current reacops logo witch will likely become the regular way-star seal

for context, this is the current reacops logo

I will be remaking it at some point for the record as it does look quite ass

but the general idea of the polygon with the star will be the same

this is a redesign I just made, im pretty happy with it but I may work on it over spring break while im out of town

(yes im aware is bears some resemblance to the qaec logo, but this is just what comes with having any 6-sided shape as a logo)

I will also work on new PA speakers tomorrow to avoid potential unintentional resemblance to intergomic's speakers

[round agate]

new model

🎉

[round agate]

decided a on more circular logo as the final way-star seal

also will be working on a less soviet-looking ro logo either later tonight or tomorrow

[round agate]

ro jumpscare

[round agate]

Hello sorry for lack of stuff, I’ve been out of town and am also moving house so I’ve been quite busy, I promise I’ll share some more soon

For now enjoy this image of a speaker I saw at Home Depot

[gentle escarp]

thats a cool speaker

looks very yellow

[round agate]

I do plan to make a model out of it

Whether it will replace the current remaster or appear alongside is tbd with my co-dev

[round agate]

this is kinda a concept model not the acutal thing I want to use but its close-ish

also refreshing some stuff like ceo portraits and other minor lore stuff, its very incomplete still so I wont show it (for now) but it is looking much more solid than what we had

[round agate]

new map tjing @warm dew

[little siren]

ibm mention

🙏

[round agate]

ibm skybox my beloved

[round agate]

Yeah not to be all unc doomer but if they do require a subscription, after I'm done with qs I'll be leaving the platform

I'll prob open-source all my games and just post them as rbxl files somewhere since publishing wont really be an option if I dont pay

atp game design is my only other business on this platform and I cant even reasonably share my work then I might as well just leave

if they don't do subscription I might say for a bit longer

we'll see

(for context, I mostly share my works with irl friends who are all <16, as am I. So it would not be even playable for them)

[silent rain]

You got nice models

Don't understand why you don't get more messages here

[round agate]

OK so its almost definitivley joever

Roblox staff has elaborated more on the game eval process and a game needs 500 unique plays from age checked "highly engaged" players. This is simply something that is incredibly hard for a studio comprised of three people, with one being active consistently.

A game will need to reach 500 unique plays by age-checked highly engaged users 16 years old and older in the last 30 days. We use a variety of signals to give us confidence the play session is genuine and not from a bot or a fake account, including session duration, account age, alt detection, engagement distribution, and if the user has recently made a purchase somewhere on Roblox.

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/ama-publishing-requirements-roblox-kids-select/4580953/243

I would love to continue publishing updates for everyone to play but the issue is that I don't and shouldn't pay a company that keeps shooting itself in the foot, that is equivalent to tossing money into a trash pit on fire. As I've said, I will probably open-source some (definitely not all) of my games

[cobalt glade]

Holy shit dude that’s gonna kill any game that isn’t like insanely popular right of the bat

Christ

[round agate]

Quick update:
I’m not going to be working on any flagship games anymore due to the publishing requirements. I will still work on VCNL but it won’t be the flagship game I wanted it to be. I’m still quite busy with other obligations but I’ll be back sometime at the end of may

[warm dew]

vcnl coming never:TM:

[round agate]

ughh I exported the wrong thing

rip

here we go

ugh

hammer time!

[round agate]

I redid the computer models again

why do I do this to myself

[round agate]

since I dumped some images in general I'll post them here

[round agate]

concidering doing a lore dump

we'll see

[round agate]

Originally, Way-Star would've started out making tabulating machines and cash registers. After WWII they would move more into the grander electronics market, including making more than just computers but that's another whole thing for later. They would likely be one of the first to pioneer the use of vacuum tubes rather than pure mechanical calculations. The computers would not have been used for the nuclear reactors yet, that would ultimately be the second CEO's decision to fully enter nuclear. Way-Star would canonically be the one of the first to start selling solid state machines commercially, probably around the time that RCA sold the 501, so mid 1958. Later on in the mid sixties is when Way-Star would begin making whole mainframes rather than just the individual pieces of the computers. The first would be the WS-200 made in ~1962 at one of their own labs, but they would begin installing mainframes as a service in the late sixties into the 70s, 80s, and 90s until large mainframes fell out of fashion where they would then pivot to servers.

For software, the early solid state computers would've been a custom system coded on LISP and later Pascal too, this would be used until the late seventies when Way-Star developed a UNIX-like command line system that would then get a desktop interface in the mid eighties. Most data would have been stores on a bunch of mainframes that would've made a database. These databases would've been local as the company would've been a rather late adopter for any (inter/intra)net type system, sometime in the early 90s then the WWW was taking off. Permissions would've been manages at the local mainframe level and could only be managed at the local system, connected terminals could not elevate their permissions (sudo was an option, but only for sysadmins). The first OS would've been called the Way-Star Command Line Utility only run on mainframes, however when terminals, especially with desktop environments became popular, the company would've moved to the fictional WayOS (I say fictional because there is a real, albeit niche and irrelevant WayOS).

[placid tendon]

hmm nice

[round agate]

@placid tendon heres your fucking numpad

I hope you don't need good posture!

[silent rain]

Nice lighting

[round agate]

literally 1984

[round agate]

hm

I dont think that's how studio is supposed to look

[round agate]

this fucking monolith of a machine

only $999.99!

This one in particular would've been sold mainly to he business market in the mid-to-late eighties as a more advanced desktop for executives or IT departments. It would've most likely come with a monochrome screen, I plan to make a specific screen texture for it to make it monochrome.

[little siren]

logo's pretty unreadable

thought it was an usb port

[round agate]

revamp of entry area

[round agate]

new welcome image thing

[round agate]

no texture version

[round agate]

for the welcome text I used the Weltron 2001 font, for the other text I use Univers Bold

Both are free I believe

or I've been unknowingly pirating

[placid tendon]

I love piracy

[placid tendon]

im pirating your game as we speak!(I have no idea how to do that)

[round agate]

I would say saveinstanceing but the devsite is private 😭

you know what

fuck you you're getting playterting access

@placid tendon forced to playtest 🥀

[placid tendon]

umm ok

😭

[round agate]

I think I need to make an infoboard for this actually

time to format!!!

[placid tendon]

bug: doors do not open, script them

[round agate]

uhm

[round agate]

Renamed VCTL to OfficeScape because I don't really have the interest or skill to make a core game. Will be a showcase

will still take place in vctl though

[knotty jasper]

stink

[wet thistle]

is it optimised 🤔

[knotty jasper]

you forgot to post your new office

[round agate]

oh right

will do later

[round agate]

no 😭

[wet thistle]

optimise it

[round agate]

No

[wet thistle]

Why

[round agate]

I dont wanna

It’s also just parte

There is nothing to optimize

[wet thistle]

there is

the cylinders

are 32seg

when you can make it liek 8 segments

and nobody would notice because its so small and its neon

[round agate]

It’s used so sparingly that it’s not worth importing the parts to blender and decreasing the face count

There are like 2 in total used

[wet thistle]

what about #1462502345903575132 message

[wet thistle]

Hi

[round agate]

Not the same lights

[wet thistle]

yes but

i said what about those

they can do with some optimization regarding the cylinders

[round agate]

Why do I need the optimize them

They have so low impact

[wet thistle]

the better performance the better
