Now You're Thinking With Screenshots
Archive: 7 posts
Indie dev Arthur ?Mr. Pondukian? Lee was so wrapped up in mashing together Portal and Snapshot for this physics- and time-warping tech demo that he forgot to even give it a name! Silly boy. That?s breaking one of the golden rules of self-promotion. In every other respect, Lee is very clearly not silly: this is a flat-out astonishing proof of concept. What if? instead of simply opening a doorway to another area, entering a portal you created also rewound time to the point where you created its exit, which was itself done by taking a screenshot of your desired destination point/time? Ack, my clumsy words plum don't sum this up at all satisfactorily. I?m going to have to ask you to watch this video. It's worth it, trust me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph60iKWmtos&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockpapershotgun.com%2F2011% 2F09%2F20%2Fnow-youre-thinking-with-screenshots%2F%3Futm_source%3Dfeedburner%26utm_med ium%3Dfeed%26utm_campai&feature=player_embedded That?s a real, working tech demo, made in Unity 3D, by the way, doubters. Proper clever, proper bonkers stuff. And, as every other bugger on the internet has already observed: get this in Portal 3, Mister Valve. If I had access to that technology, I would use it to portal to my kitchen, at a time when I still had milk in the house, thus saving me from a beyond-agonising, uncaffeinated trip to the shop. Coming next: a game about portals in which puzzles revolve around creating a world in which Portal never existed, and thus cannot be referenced in any discussion of games containing space-time manipulation. | 2011-10-13 03:46:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
Holy ****. That is cool | 2011-10-13 03:50:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
I know right? I was like ************************************************** ****** when I first saw this... xD This NEEDS to be Portal 3. | 2011-10-13 03:58:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
Awesome effect. If this were Portal 3, 75% of the players would be lost at the 5th screenshot, never to be heard from or seen again. There should also be a factor implemented where the space the player occupies deteriorates after a certain amount of time elapses (forcing brain to think), causing them to plummit endlessly into a black void. | 2011-10-13 05:05:00 Author: RickRock_777 Posts: 1567 |

that was proper. I still haven't played portal, well some cheap knock-offs so I know the gist of the game. This would be bad ace. | 2011-10-13 21:22:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
