Re: Video patches

[Vobla <led...@gm...>]

Hi Cristian!

Sorry for question which was incorrect - my engrish isn't the best in the
world...

In 2001, my brain was heavily damaged by playing in Myst III:Exile. I always
wanted to create a game with such atmosphere and quality, but I never had
illusions about my capabilites...

At this moment, I'm working as independent flash game developer, but making
free-to-play games is not the dream of my life... 

Actually, I have a working demo of engine similar with Pipmak, based on
flash native 3D api, with animated ARGB video patches, interactive objects
on the faces and stuff, it's all looking great but big flv video patches
makes the engine lag a bit even on the new PCs. Even without video, its max
screen size is about 1024x768, larger sizes cause Vsync artefacts.

I've downloaded Pipmak year or two ago and I didn't find any visible changes
thats why I was wondendering if the project is still alive...

I can't say I have concrete project at this moment - I'm just searching for
suitable pieces of the game like art, engine, music, puzzles to get some
inspiration
