Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-29-2011

Not sure if you guys have heard of GiantBomb.com
but they totally pimped you out on their whisky media happy hour tonight!
They play a game live with their community every week on Thursdays and were playing Quake III this week, so I suppose for their weekly roundup they sort of showcased your game live in front of thousands of viewers! I really hope you guys get some players live as I've been playing and I really dig this game.

I'm Koshka btw O,o


RE: Whisky Media - Lee_Stricklin - 07-29-2011

HOLYSHIT! Are you serious?! That's pretty cool if this is true.


RE: Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-30-2011

Yea, no joke! Jeff (one of the main editors) was playing it live in front of literally thousands of people haha
I really dig where this game is and I hope that it brings some traffic, if I can rally people I'm going to start playing regularly.

I actually was playing tonight with two people who saw it on the show... only problem is the servers we played on seemed super buggy. In one the character models came up as... well diamonds, and then in the other my cam was against the ground and most of the textures weren't loading...

I really need to figure out what's going on with this game really. I love to play it against bots, I just want to get something going with friends.

Using the old-as-hell preview release (which had one of the most disastrous of balances in it) will likely do that. Use the autobuilds to avoid that. Maybe someone should replace the preview link with the autobuild link.

btw, here's the autobuild:

It's sad because people that try xonotic use the preview release and devs aren't showing interest in changing that. They should have posted something more recent if not the autobuild script.


RE: Whisky Media - divVerent - 07-30-2011

We have interest in changing that. A 0.2 release is planned "pretty soon". And yes, the autobuild could be placed on the main site - but below the regular download link, as the autobuilds are NOT "stable releases".


RE: Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-30-2011

Ah emkay. Jeff mentioned that you can download autobuilds, but didn't seem to stress that point too much. There really is no intuitive way of knowing that just from coming and looking that the 0.2 is the one you should probably be trying. I'll be posting on the GB forums tonight about the game however and seeing if I can rope some of the community over Tongue

Thanks for the awesome game.

i'm not sure how to take this statement....


RE: Whisky Media - Snijglau - 07-30-2011

Yes, you have caught the attention of at least one new person from the Giant Bomb community. So that's, what, 3 overnight?

Being a Linux type, I've actually tried out Nexuiz. Once upon a time, though. You're looking much better these days. Impressive, guys.

Jeff has briefly talked about Xonotic and Nexuiz a few times in the past, it just probably made no sense to anyone that hasn't already dabbled.


RE: Whisky Media - Halogene - 07-30-2011

...and you obviously even have an opportunity to give Xonotic a +1:

http://www.giantbomb.com/xonotic/61-36015/

welcome to the forums and possibly as well as hopefully to the community!


RE: Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-30-2011

+1'ed and liked. I wanna contribute in at least a menial way. I make a lot of electronic music, but I don't think it'd be in the interest of anyone to be honest.


RE: Whisky Media - The mysterious Mr. 4m - 07-30-2011

i'd be interested! (even if just from sick curiosity XD)


RE: Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-30-2011

50 min of badly produced music X]

Some piano

Super varied in genre to be honest.


RE: Whisky Media - peteisfat - 07-30-2011

Maybe this should just be a thread where people from Whiskey Media can introduce themselves Tongue.

I'm Pete and I found this through their site also, and if I remember your name correctly Koshka, I was someone that played with you last night! Also, your music isn't as bad as you make it out to be, you've definitely put effort into it.

I'm not really that skilled into the whole video game making thing, though I can definitely spread the word. I make some amount of music as well, though it seems you have plenty of guys to do that. However, I'll try and make some Quake style industrial track sometime if I can work it out.

So yeah, that's about it.

RE: Whisky Media - Koshka - 07-31-2011

Hehe, I investigated my share of mycology, but overall I actually did all of that music completely sober.

And thank you so much.
