   In this month's episode of Divercast Shimmy, Andrew (Crayyon) and Dannylv100 talk about what is important to us in games. Graphics, Gameplay or Story?  We talk about what games we feel were successful in merging gameplay and story as well as what games were more successful in storytelling than gameplay.

 Time to sit back, relax and dive into Divercast!

How to Play "The Longest Yard" in Halo 5

2/19/2016

Quake 3 in Halo 5

  Hey! How is it going? I just wanted to share with you my first Halo 5 Forge map. I wanted to learn the basics of Forge so i thought it would be best to make a map that I always admired. This map is meant to be a homage to The Longest Yard from Quake 3 Arena. However, I designed the map to be played with the Halo 5 mechanics (Thrustes, Spartan Charge, Ground Pound, Clambor).

How to Download and Play "The Longest Yard"

   ​If you would like to download and play The Longest Yard, all you need to do is follow my Xbox One gamertag, Dannylv100.

Step 1: Follow dannylv100 on xbox live

   On the Xbox dashboard, go to your friend list and select the search option. Type in Dannylv100 in the search box and when my profile pops up, add Dannylv100 as a friend. You are now following me.

Step 2: Find dannylv100 on your Halo 5 friends list

Boot up your copy of Halo 5. Once you reach the main menu hit the "X" button to see your friends list. If you are following Dannylv100, you will be able to find my account in your friends list.   
   

Step 3: Find Dannylv100's File Browser

  Once you selected my account you will be able to view my information and stats. At the bottom of that list you will see a section that reads File Browser. Scroll down to Map Variants and inside that tab you will see The Longest Yard. Select that map and download.

Step 4: Download the Game Mode

   After you downloaded the map, back out to the File Browser and select Game Mode Variants. From that tab select FFA Q3A RULES (Free For All Quake 3 Arena Rules) and download.

​   You will now have "The Longest Yard" and FFA Q3A RULES downloaded into your copy of Halo 5.

Step 5: Host a Custom Game

   Now that you have both the map and the game mode, you will need to back out into the main menu. Scroll down to the multiplayer section and select Custom Game.

Change MAP to The Longest Yard and Game Mode to FFA Q3A RULES.
   Once you are in the Custom game menu, be sure to select MAP and go to your BOOKMARKS tab. You should find any level you have downloaded in this tab. Scroll down until you find The Longest Yard. 

  After you have the map selected, back out till you see GAME MODE, select that and scroll down to BOOKMARKS and select FFA Q3A RULES.

Step 6: Play the Map

  With the map and game mode loaded you are now ready to play the map. Invite your friends (recommended 4-6 players) and start the game!

Tips for playing The Longest Yard

- There is very little cover, keep moving.
- Use your thruster pack while you are airborne to adjust where you land.
- Do not spartan charge into launch pads. This will slow you down and lead to your death.
​- The scattershot will make short work of enemies up close. Use your SMG to keep Fuel Rod Players at a distance.
- Use the teleporters to move around the map faster and get behind enemies.

Game Mode - Rules and Settings

​ - Changed starting weapon to SMG. No secondary weapon and Turned off all grenades and grenade pick ups.
​- Turned off intro cinematic. 
​- Turned off Radar
- Set to Free For All Game type. Score limit is recommend to be set at 20
-  Thruster recharge speed to 50%
​- No Vehicles of any kind

Power Weapons and Pick Ups

Note: If you don't like The Railgun, it can be substituted with the Beam Rifle. ​
​ Scattershot (x2)
Fuel Rod Cannon (x2)
Railgun (x1)
Overshield (x1)
Damage Boost (x1)
​
   Pro TIP: If you want an even more authentic Quake experience, turn off the Spartan Charge, Ground Pound and Smart Link scope. Do not turn off the thruster pack, as it is crucial for using with the jump pads and map traversal.​​ 

Show Me Your Moves!

The Longest Yard is my first creation/Homage that I made for Halo 5. I plan on making a few more maps in the coming weeks. You can follow me on twitch to see my progress. I am currently working on what will become a Big Team Battle Map.

   If you decide to play my map, please feel free to leave a comment, tweet me or email me at dannyquesada64@gmail.com.

   If I get any videos/images I will be sure to share them on twitter or even make a blog post about them.Thanks you so much for reading! Stay tuned for more!

Going the Speed..

   Welcome to another edition of Indie Arcade! Today we are taking a look at an experimental endless racer known as Permutation Racer. 

 Permutation Racer is a game that progressively gets harder as the player completes more courses. Not only is the game endless, but it boasts a few different environments and tracks that are procedurally generated each time you play.

Divercast Ep. 22: Interview With An IndieDev - How I lost my Indie Game

2/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture

   Welcome to a special edition of Divercast! For sometime I have been wanting to interview a few of my Indie dev friends, so they can share their insight and experiences. First up is Christian Mancia and Tony Hernandez.

   Christian (GreenJoker24) met his friend and business partner Tony Hernandez and together created a successful school project. After graduating from college, the duo met up again and turned that school project into a full fledged game known as Sketch.

​   This is the story about how two friends went from college, to Indie devs. Their trials and tribulations and a cautionary tale for any student studying game design and thinking about joining the industry. 

Sit back, relax its time for Divercast.
