I have succeeded Oluseyi as GDNet Lounge Moderator/Fascist, fulfilling the prophecy handed down by the Rhino to nes8bit two thousand years ago today.
As the new Lounge moderator, I will be enacting sweeping reforms, which I shall post about in the Lounge as time goes on. These reforms include:
Political Penance - If I catch you making a rhetorical argument in a politics thread, I will ban you until I have sufficient evidence that you have whipped/been whipped until you are sorry. GDNet-branded whips will be available soon at our Cafepress store.
Parody Threads - I love these little bastards. Posters of good parody threads will receive admiration and a chance to evade the...
Ban Lottery - Every week, I will ban a random Lounge lizard. Note that my random number generator is highly defective and accepts PayPal.
Car Threads - We should have more of these.
I feel that those of you who survive my initial Stalinist purges will become happy and productive members of the GDNet Lounge.
PS: Check it out, Afterglow has bullet holes in the walls now.
I think my decal code is a bit buggy (see how grouped the holes are?) so I will have to take another look at it down the road to make sure everything is peachy keen.
Sorry I haven't made an update in the last little while, but I have been working on Afterglow.
New:
Rotation of decals - blood, etc is rotated slightly in order to 'change up' the visuals. Thanks, Scott.
Transitions between layers - fade in/fade out is currently the only one implemented, but it adds a whole lot to the menu system and is cool.
Explosive bullets leave behind scorch marks on the ground (see below). They should probably leave them on the wall too, but it looks pretty good as is.
A lot of refactoring of the nastier bits of the decal system. It's still very slow, though.
I still have to get respawning working completely.
