@openbioforge Great job. Looking forward to seeing the full release when you are ready.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@romerogamesltd It's so good seeing you guys together again. You're all amazing.

@lisyarus I like the cell shaded look.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@openbioforge This is great progress. The game is slowly emerging. When it comes to the scripting, did you write a new interpreter for the original scripts or convert them into a modern scripting language?

@colin_k @ViridianGames Grabbed a copy. It was already on my wishlist and deserves support.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@DannyHabibs Pretty cool. Now all those people shifting in their seats, straining to look around the corners when they first played Doom in the 90s, finally can 😄

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@openbioforge As always great work. Still excited to see the final product when you are ready to release it.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@UnderTheMayo Congratulations. Creating good tutorials and teaching mechanics is one of the hardest challenges in game development. But I think you'll do a great job.

I have been working on decompiling the game logic script files for #Bioforge . It took a bit of time, but I have it all in plain text now. Now I just need an interpreter 😅.
Here are some pics showing a snippet of the game and decompiled versions for Caynan's logic.

@JuliaMinamata Congratulations! This is an amazing achievement. I'm looking forward to playing it.

@georgievyuriy Looking forward to watching this on the weekend.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@FreyaHolmer I'm glad that you are recovering.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@openbioforge Maybe if you lead Caynan down to Mastaba, there will be a reckoning? Or script him to just roam the base and cause havoc among the remaining guards. According to his log, some of them are due for some payback.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@openbioforge Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more! I have only recently started to dive into trying to understand the script engine myself. Lots of work, the fun kind.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

Working a little more on #Bioforge scene loading. Here are all the characters contained in the first part of the game (internally referred to as CHAOS).

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@openbioforge I love to see these updates! Even if they put my own attempts at this to shame ;). So far I have most of the assets figured out and have started looking into loading levels. But it seems that I need to be able to parse the scripts to load collision, which will be a lot of work.

@CadeRageous @qfgbook I always loved games and knew that I eventually wanted to make them. But I think it was seeing Scott Murphy's name in the opening credits for Space Quest 2 that sealed the deal. At 13, I thought some day it would be my name up there. And now it is. Among hundreds of others 😉

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

Started deciphering the level formats. Still early, but I have made some progress. This is the layout of the first section of the game, the cell block, guard room, elevator hallway and cryo room.
Colors:
green = cameras
white = items
cyan = waypoints

@sonneveld @fractalmindmike @TheGhoulBabe Sad that I missed most of the stream. Project Firestart is one of my favorite C64 games and blew me away when I saw it 1989. I have to catch the VOD of this.

[Chelnov18 @Chelnov18]

@ViridianGames This looks like a great project. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
