Rano Particulo is basically done, but so memorizing for making particle effects that I can’t stop. Trying to sell on the Unity Asset store for 147.50$ and this is lowballing how much it will help you. You get hundreds of hours work done in minutes while being stoked and happy having fun. If you want a copy before it goes live, send me an offer. When its not live, I can sell for much less than what I’m asking on Unity Asset store of 147.50, and this is much less than its actual value to your games! Email: starfighterGeneral [AT] Gmail.com I take Paypal or Venmo.

Back on the Horse!

We’re bronco busting Leviathan with God’s help. Life’s turmoils are much, but with God, we will finish successfully. I have a friend on Twitter(twitter censors people of faith normally). His name is Richie McPeak, he lost a leg, but still fights on. He has an encouraging saying,”Everyone step is a finish line.” I’m finally back in rhythm and there ain’t much til next Starfighter Patch.

Road Map:

  1. Single Player MOba (less than 10 hours)

2) Multiplayer version of singleplayer Moba AKA a MOBA 20-60 hours after

3) Play test networking

4) 40-80 hours MMORPG proceedurally generated universe (game out)

Looking at 2 months optimally for a launch. It doesn’t normally go optimally with me. People demand my time, life gets weird…

Pray for me.

PS: Battlemon mostly done for quests in parks.

PSS: Rano Particulo trying to be on Asset Store.

Securing Funding

James Sager Articles

As many of you know, I have had a rough 15 months. Gran passed away, family squabbles, moved 4 times, fighting diabetes, kidney disease onset, other sicknesses, basic getting by stuff, etc etc. I gotta guy to fund me short term (10 months), and I should get a lot done in that time.

I upgraded to .50 from .17 dots… Once we get rollin and I’m not scraping change and hustling to get by, I can mass code and MMO can go live. Good stuff Gustov.

Parallel Processing Upgrade

James Sager Articles

Hello,

Not a lot of you know there is a revolution in video games. We’re unlocking all your cores for video games. This gives 100-1000x performance now. In 7 years, 100,000-1,000,000 more performance. Its needed.

Since it is experimental and research level tech, updates are needed. So while I was hoping to drop single player MOBA this week, I’m way layed on upgrading the system.

Be stoked, this is awesome tech.

Battlemon Metaverse Game Done

James Sager Articles

I finished a metaverse game I worked on for 23 years and put 5000 hours into. You go into actual real life parks ! And in each park I made a quest, or friends I find and trust make quests, you have like finalfantasy/pokemon style quests in real life.

Say go to a pavillion, it will say defeat 20 enemies to unlock a boss… Or go to sconces in the park and collect a piece of a puzzle and with all the pieces you unlock a boss fight or virtual treasure like a pack of cards or physical geocache treasure. Or walk along a certain path and if you go off, start again… Or survival trail that you need to take your whole deck of battlemon and keep them alive over many battles… Or trivia quizzes where you enter data… There are many many more nodes. I’m looking for people to meet in person, friend up and hang out, make sure you’re cool, and alpha/beta test some parks, maybe make quests together!

We can imagine any sort of new quest node, there are no limitations. We can add more battlemon. You can draw em, assign stats and they automated card maker will assign mana. It will start super local to Pittsburgh cuz its hard to make a trust network and I don’t want to force it. I’m getting old and finishing my sunset years going to parks and beautifying them with metaverse quests will be fun!

I’m a little bit of a mad scientist style coder with like 1 MMO coming up, a table top online roleplaying game coming out in next 4 months too! Gotta solo it all… But maybe its time to pick up some old fart friends 30s-40s preferably if you want to hang out with this park thing the world literally never saw before, uber huge announcement. Do I call it an Outdoors Escape Room? Its a custom quest for every park! Maybe more than one quest per park.

Anyway I designed battlemon so a Make a Wish Child could tell his friends that he made a video game… And I got the idea from my aunt, who now has unstoppable lymph node cancer so I want them both to realize their dreams before it’s too late… We all have limited time on Earth. Wanna chill with CrazyJim in parks and do something the world never saw, like comment, message or whatever.

God bless all of younz, Love’s the way! And you know it, CrazyJim

It won’t roll out for a while around the world, but if you’re around the Pittsburgh area and you’re an older responsible guy or gal , get ahold of me and we can do park stuff, leave a comment or something.

Super Zeros

James Sager Articles

Rumor has it that the dimensional alignment afforded in The Prime Dimension allows for super powers. Other rumors say that super powers are allowed by spiritual forces. Other rumors say science fiction has become reality and allows for super powers. Other rumors are that you can buy a weasel in California if you ask in pet stores about their illegal ferret trading ring in the back.

Rumors are rumors, but super powers are real in Starfighter General… How do you acquire them? You need to find out if you even want them… Look at the famous super heroes of the Starfighter General universe.

Magnetic Arm Man:

Magnetic Arm Man is a dwarf of a man in stature who is an engineer. He lost his arm to a tragic incident with an automatic door with the safety locks he turned off. He read some manuals online how to make a cybernetic arm, but something went different.

His arm works functionally like a cybernetic arm, but as he gets angry, it gains more strength. Unfortunately as he gets angry, it also gains more magnetism. So if his opponent makes him upset enough, he may get so magnetized that he goes flying to the nearest street lamp, building or random vehicle and gets stuck there until he’s no longer angry. Unfortunately for Magnetic Arm Man, he has not learned anger management yet, so the act of getting stuck out of a fight makes him irate and cursing like a Scottsman.

Repetitive Action Man:

Repetitive Action Man has both a blessing and a curse. If he ever does one sequence of actions three times in a row, he starts doing them faster and faster until acted upon by an outside force significant enough to knock him out of it. So if he punches three times with his left arm, he will keep doing that until shoved. If he forgets to throw a jive step in his walking, after three steps, he’ll be walking accelerating to an incredible rate of speed(still walking) until he hits something.

Optic Nerve Man:

This guy is blessed with regenerating eyes and nerves of steel. In fact he has a very very long amount of optic nerve… So much that he can shoot his eyes out and entangle his enemies like a lasso. Then poor guy has a hard time knowing what is going on even though his optic nerves are impenetrable to attack.

So take it or leave it… Super powers sound great on paper, until you have the ability to fall through floors or turn your car invisible making your insurance agency start to ask questions… Do you want super powers at all at this point? Is it worth the risk?

PS: You have 30 character slots, some characters will permanently be changed in the course of the game, but major issues and such you don’t want to avoid with like Gibblet Lycanthrope will be flagged to only ever apply to one character unless you choose different in options( Game Master Plot Discretion).

Captains Log

James Sager Articles

Captain Carp,”Captains Log, date is …”

‘Puter,”Excuse me captain, may I interrupt?”

Captain Carp,”You just did.”

‘Puter,”Why do you tell me the date? I am a computer. I log that myself automatically.”

Captain Carp,”It’s just how this thing goes. I have a watch and I like to command the time.”

‘Puter,”Fine then, shall I record the time you gave me? It is a full day before the ship was attacked by small Telecin children and we lost an unsubstantial communications peripheral.”

Captain Carp,”Yes. Captains Log, date is … An inventory has been done of all systems from our rental ship recently acquired from the Alliance of Allied Awesome Astronauts has found that all systems are working fine except a communications peripheral.”

‘Puter,”Captain. As a security feature of AAAA, I cannot allow you to bypass insurance liability indemnity in such a manner. I have to transmit this incident to the rental store. Hmmm, seems there is a communication error.”

Captain Carp,”Spotty Pitts, can you disable the computer’s logs where it talks and erase the parts of this memory of this event.”

Spotty Pitts,”I’m on it Captain! It seems there’s an encryption code tho. I’ll have to crack it. It won be easy Capn'”

Captain Carp,”Do what you can Spotty.”

*a large clank is heard*

Spotty,”I believe I cracked it.”

Captain Carp,”Computer, recite the logs for today.”

*silence is heard*

Captain Carp,”Computer, recite the logs for today.”

*silence is still heard*

Captain Carp,”Captains Log, date is … An inventory has been done of all systems from our rental ship recently acquired from the Alliance of Allied Awesome Astronauts has found that all systems are working fine except a communications peripheral and a malfunctioning computer. It was like this when we got it.”

Brainstorm ideas from /u/OtherAtlas of Reddit.

James Sager Articles

I want to game dev a lot, but settling into a new place is so tough. Cleaning my way to surviving. Coding resumes VERY soon, probably tomorrow if not now. Here’s some random brainstorm stuff I ran over. Nothing is off the table. Cancel culture doesn’t slow this game down… In fact we’ll do out of control stuffs.

I.R. Stupid

James Sager Articles

There’s a man. That’s right a man.

And he has a plan. At least you think he does.

He’s one of the last warp drive researchers, but he’s warped.

I.R. Stupid shut down Warp Drive development, but not before inventing personal warp drive technology.

He just shows up, tells you what’s going on and what to do. Do you follow what he says? He’s Stupid.

Pretty dumb right? Yes, it’s I.R. Stupid.

Heads up, moved places

James Sager Articles

Hey, fourth move in 14 months, life was pretty unstable since my Grandmother passed, a bit of Book of Job, Joseph and his brothers, David running from Saul, Jeremiah, and so on. There’s absolutely no way my past 14 months was normal. Take the craziest year you heard anyone have, and multiply it by 10 or 20. It’s been THAT out of control. But we’re in control now, dev is coming back online. Even my old colleague Steve is back making UI. I’m finishing Battlemon where I want it today. Tonight we dev Starfighter General some.

God bless, and pray for this game to come out. Its tough for a very small team to push out a MMO with new techs never seen before in gaming with no funding. Normally you have dozens working on a MMO with tens of mil funding, but I don’t have that luxury… Quite the opposite. I had 40ish hospital visits due to onset of diabetes/kidney and other stuff… The opposition is very fierce, but God loves to take you to a point where you have no odds of winning and then defeat the enemy or sail you above the mountain. Have faith and pray.

God bless you guys.

Out Take videos

James Sager Articles

I have a few fixes for this website to make it cool. Embedding a few youtubes will be one, making columns larger, another.

Gonna go back to nap. I have to finsih this Park based Pokemon Go clone I designed 9 years before it came out and we’ll be back rollin, so close to MMORPG launch, but a scientific research firm needed me help bad, bleh stupid David Hume, not letting me enjoy life because I want to help others. ;)

The Binularity

James Sager Articles

[Scifi mixes reality with fiction] In an effort to extend human life unto the heat death of the universe known as the Singularity, researchers at Cambridge have done experiments linking brains to computer chips: https://www.cambridgeconsultants.com/us/press-releases/breakthrough-unlocks-progress-brain-chip-technology . In experiments that would do Dr. Frankenstein proud, they have grown brains in the lab: https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/lab-grown-mini-brains-hint-at-treatments-for-neurodegenerative-diseases It saves all the time of having to go out and actually find brains to work on, or worry about your assistants mixing up brains. Besides the last thing you want as to happen when swapping your brain to another body is for Igor to mix up which brains go in which body. Instead of waking up as the genetically enhanced guy in charge, you could be someone he’s in charge of… and maybe not even a guy at all… which frankly is an embarrassing way to spend your next 170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years of servitude.

Those who formed Singularity thought the only problem would be creating it and making sure that their rule would be unchallenged. The singularity was easily achieved in the mid 21rst century, and those who were rich and powerful remained rich and powerful. Those who could not afford this technology perished, so the rat race became more intense with some struggling as hard as they could to acquire the money to “immortalize themselves” into the Singularity. This normally resulting in much criminality and corruption which is common with people acquiring this much wealth and not helping those around them with generosity. Once they got in, linking consciousness and brain to a binary computer, things went seemingly well for them until the abberation and the expectable unexpected happened.

It turns out that you could link brain and consciousness both to a binary computer, but once your brain completely biodegraded to nothing, all you are left with is consciousness and a binary computer. The powerful leaders of the world were still themselves inside a robot, but they were no longer capable of original ideas or free thinking, their minds became limited to the programming that was upon the computer. Attempts to grow brains and reattach them to the consciousness left in the binary computers was to no avail, it was a one way transfer of information that could not be reconstructed back to humanity. Yes, they knew they were themselves, they had self awareness. But they had no power to make their own decisions, they have become souls living binary existence without freewill in robots. This became known as the Binularity and to the World Leaders of the 21rst century it became a terrifying and tortured existence, almost as terrifying to them as the thought of not being the one in charge.
