    Thanks for the book suggestions! I own Robinson Crusoe and Swiss Family Robinson... I have always loved this genre of books!! I don't know why...

    Learning 3D, would like to build ships for Hearts of Oak

    Was there a free version of Maya or 3ds max that has been talked about on the forum somewhere, so I can play with fbx?

    Learning 3D, would like to build ships for Hearts of Oak

    Good job Alex! I have a few questions for you too Armada... 1. How are sails done? How were they done in PotC? 2. Did you guys say you had some tools somewhere to do FBX conversion? Or am I out of luck if I only have blender?

    HAHA! I can't believe you made it back out of the volcano! Somehow a random tree got up there... burning forever in the volcano :P Don't lose wilson!!!

    Movement feels odd because I set it's "speed" pretty high so it wouldn't take it forever to walk around. Don't worry about that :P I'm glad that you guys are able to run it that well on your laptops! So that bubble is using Unity's built in navmesh. I have it so it is always trying to come...

    I'm not surprised by both your replies. 1. Yeah I didn't make an invisible barrier to the edge of terrain so if you go far enough into water you fall off. 2. To climb volcano, try jumping (spacebar) up one of its less steep sides. 3. The group of palm trees had a collider so those would be the...

    http://www.bowengames.com/wp/WP2.html Ok, check out my new "test island". Basically trying to see how it runs with tons of trees and some water around island. 1,200 trees on island of mixed type. I bet you can't lose the "soap bubble" that follows you wherever you go!! Notice it will always...

    WIP Unnamed Uninhabited Island Survival Game

    This kind of shows what I am meaning. So on the bottom part where its floating water, I just made a tiny little hill on the terrain so you can stand on it and see above water. If I made an actual island, the lowest terrain would be lower than 0, water at 0, and then the entire above ground...

    WIP Unnamed Uninhabited Island Survival Game

    For some areas, I purposely selected one type of tree and then had it make a big circle of just that tree type, so it's supposed to look like that. This is a really quick test scene, I wasn't trying to make a realistic looking area. The waterfall/pond area is only place it should look somewhat...

    BTW, if you go look at it again and hit F5 (to refresh page) it should load in a higher resolution. 1. I purposely made the water floating in the air, otherwise it collides with the terrain beneath it. (basically the whole terrain is at "sea level" so I had to make a little hill to stand on...

    Did it ask you to install the Unity webplayer? http://unity3d.com/webplayer/

    WIP Unnamed Uninhabited Island Survival Game

    Check out this little test area I made, trying to test out some of the basic Unity stuff. I put in some basic water (not really tweaked much other than color), and messed around with terrain texturing for some sand and put in this waterfall off a big rock in a little grove area. Turned on the...

    I mean, call me stupid or ignorant, maybe REALLY ignorant... but I think I can do this. Honestly I think the hardest thing will be all the models and textures I need. I am not the best at that stuff... and will have to buy a lot of premade stuff.

    http://www.terraincomposer.com/ Can't make money without spending money :treasure: Basically I can use a tool that can use the height maps from real islands via Google Earth, and even populate the terrain with foliage, etc. I would be the main person working on it, as far as actual...

    Yeah, I think I will have to make a bunch of small test scenarios to try my ideas... :)

    WIP Unnamed Uninhabited Island Survival Game

    I was thinking along the same lines... What if at the beginning of game in England, you can choose to get on 3 different ships: one is more of a common ship with people going to the Brasils (as spelled long ago I believe) to start plantations. This ship has lots of supplies, maybe more...

    Awesome ideas, awesome ideas guys! Do you think islands should be randomly created everytime there is a new game... so you if you play again its a whole new island?

    EXACTLY hahaha. How many booby traps have you made? Maybe a secret captured tiger you can release! :P

    Yeah, I was thinking it would be cool if randomly saw a ship off shore one day, and you get your spyglass out and see that it's flying a pirates flag. :D

    That's another big thing I was trying to think of... how does TIME work? I mean, even just as far as a single day goes. Do I have day/night cycles? What the heck could you even do at night? I think you should have to go to bed every day to "finish the day". What about growing things? Does it...
