I'd go with A. Since B and C can both be pretty nasty since you don't know who's used it. ;)

Wait so could A.

Anyway, Betta fish look pretty awesome in the sunlight!

Which one is the best feeling?

A)finding a lover,

B)picking money up from nowhere when you are soooooo broke ,

C)finding a perfect toilet somewere when you desperately needed one!
For me, in this order: B, C, A.
I've been through A many times, it's overrated :P

B could be used to acquire A, which would eliminate the need for C... :whistle:

obvious troll is obvious

A)

since you said "lover" meaning someone who loves you back, they would probably give you money if you really need it

and they would let you use their bathroom.

im guessing you're a girl because guy's don't really care about "perfect toilets" unless they are going dewdoo.

PS: You must not think very highly of guys if you compare them to toilets.

Here's a sneak peak at the latest project me and my buddy am working on.
He's doing the music and sound.

Creepy :) . I really like it. The sound design is pretty awesome. The models look slightly WiPish, but I guess it does not really hurt the atmosphere. They might just as well stay the way they are.

The lighting is slightly odd. With indirect illumination and the logarithmic nature of the human visual system (buzzword color grading) you would never have such dark areas that close to a light source. Reminds me of Doom 3. If it is a conscious design decision (because obviously this might contribute to the horror of the game), you might keep it that way, but it does look unrealistic (e.g. at second 0:40 of the video).

It could be interesting to use some real, dynamic, HDR color grading in such a game. If it gets dark all of a sudden your eyes would take a (horrible) while to adapt to this darkness.

I also like the scenario and can actually identify with it to some extent. On the other hand we typically turn of all lights on the hallway and in the unused offices as it gets late. The only remaining light is the one coming from emergency exit signs *shivers*.

Are you targeting the PC with this or will there be more platforms? Also how about a real WiP topic? Things get lost so quickly in "What's on your mind".

Thanks :) Yep, some of the models are WiPish, like e.g the coffee maker. I think the lighting gets messed up in the video due to YouTubes compression, it's not really as dark in the game. Youtube just adds a lot of contrast, so the shadows looks different in the live version. I'm using Unity Free version for this, so I'm somewhat "limited" in special effects, but there are some shaders around.

I'm targeting PC and Mac, primarily. Will do a separate topic later when there's a bit more to show.

Ok, then it is probably fine the way it is.

Well, all you need for dynamic, HDR color grading is support for HDR render targets and post screen shaders. I would be kindof disappointed, if Unity Free would not provide both.

Looking forward to it.

My desktop and my laptop both have Ubuntu+Windows 7 dual boot. Most of the time I use Windows, but whenever I do something that would require stuff like MinGW on Windows I prefer using Ubuntu.

It's awfully dark, not very realistic. What kind of office environment would be that dark with all of the lights on?

Read my later posts. It's not actually that dark in the game. Youtube messes with the contrast. It's actually pretty bright in the game.
