life in world

Summary:

Have you ever wanted to explore a deep and endless ocean instead of fighting your enemies. have you ever? You know what I've always wondered about porcupine sex. They have all those quills and poison. It just seems dangerous to me and yet I've never heard of any porcupines dying from sex in the span of human history. Its just something we never really think about.

steam windows 7 obsolescence:

the game is designed with windows 10 and 11 in mind. however the game is drm free and the game does work on windows 7 service pack 2 64 bit. when steam stops working on windows 7. this game will still be launchable from the steamapps folder without launching steam so youll always be able to play it. although the game is not designed around 32 bit. it makes extensive use of memory. the game can possibly be played in 32 bit. just go to binaries/32bit/udk to give it a go. 32 bit is not officially supported.

Licensing Issue: the entire map takes 15 minutes to explore all of. the unreal tournament aspect of the game is not meant to be the majority of the game. its essentially an exploration game using unreal tournament as a backdrop for what you can do in the game. after 15 minutes the game automatically switches to the larger open world to get people acclimated to the game. the unreal tournament game comes with the unreal engine 3 editor and hopefully Ill be able to license it. we are still in the process of licensing the unreal tournament featured in unreal engine 3. Im not sure how well thatll go. despite not creating the unreal tournament ai or the background arena which obviously had a massive amount of work put it into it thats part of udk. it was still very difficult to make assets having no artistic ability. I made some funny animations and the 15 minute long open world was created by me. essentially if your traveling through the teleporters all those assets are made by me except for the stairs included with udk and the view of the arena you just left and any secret areas that the developers added for fun I don't know I didn't make those.

Mechanics:

there are doors you can move into an unreal tournament overworld. when you walk through them they warp you into a huge ocean. you can get back into the action at any time by exploring the map and walking through the doors hidden across the massive open world. the game is single player only but with the use of hamachi you can play with friends over the internet. the unreal tournament in udk got rid of its online service if udk ever had one. however using the bat files you can still play lan with friends without hamachi.

Warning: multiplayer does exit out to the main menu on its own when switching stages but although this is undesirable this is technically not a glitch. in multiplayer when switching stages game will boot you out to the main menu for 5 seconds and then load the next stage. the good news is that the minimum spec is somewhat low although you do have to do lots of optimizing mentioned in the system requirements to get a good framerate although without the optimizations mentioned in the minimum requirements. multiplayer does work but may be more unstable on the bare minimum spec (n4500 celeron with system requirements optimizations). it is unknown how well the game would perform if there were more than 2 human players. although technically the game doesn't support more than 2 through hamachi anyway. this is because hamachi is a third party utility. and it isn't freeware after 2 players. we are not affilated with hamachi but we were going to start a forum for letting players share their hamachi addresses for 2 player online games. lan does allow more human players. however you need to go into create server bat file and edit players to the number of players you want in the game. the n4500 celeron can get a good 4 hours out of this game with the optimizations in system requirements that boost performance.

how to play lan multiplayer can be found below. the multiplayer doesn't work.

Licenses:

was originally included in a felix the cat gamejolt competition as a result we were able to include a neat felix the cat animation in our game of the magic bag, the game also uses unreal tournament found in udk with extensive modifications. unreal tournament is the background for a large open world exploration game.

exclusive to life in world:

enter places a brian block. neat for showing people someone else has been here before. is also a poor deflector of enemy fire.

secret goals:

every 5 minutes if the stage you selected is contest or contestnowarps or ocean the stage will switch automatically. however if you reach a secret goal in each stage except for contestnowarps the stage restarts from the beginning and all kills and deaths are reset.

secret goal: contest

there are doors in contest that allow you to warp around the stage. the one near the stairs where there is a glowing green liquid leads to the warp that leads to the final stretch of road constructed in the game. if you manage to get there and walk through the trigger there. the stage will reset. you have only have 5 minutes there's a lot of ground to cover

secret goal: ocean

this is a fun stage. there are no paths in this stage but the ai on godlike can still be vicious. the teleporters in this stage warp you back to the beginning of the stage after 30 seconds. if you make it to the very end of the stage where felix the cat and a pro choice protestor are. there is a ramp. if you manage to get maximum speed off the ramp. there is a trigger. this is quite a challenge. although there isn't as much ground to cover as in contest. this is just as hard as any stunt youd have to pull in a game like burnout paradise. if you manage to hit the jump with just enough speed at just the right angle. youll land on the platform. hit the trigger to restart this level as much as you want.

we were planning on releasing the other two ocean sections that are built into contest as separate maps so players can actually find each other when theyre in these huge areas. unfortunately ocean2 crashed. we may in fact release it before the game is released but I doubt it. however if I can't release ocean2 because a file size limitation in the map folder. that would really decrease ideas of expanding the game. so ill check to see if its an error message causing the issue. it really failed catastrophically though.

lan multiplayer guide:

1.to get into a game over lan. first click create felix server non dedicated if you want to host and play from the same computer or dedicated if you

just want the computer to host the game.

2. if you want to play on the same computer that your hosting on. edit join creators server felix then go to cmd ipconfig/all find your ipaddress then replace where it says hostip with your ip address.

3. every computer that wants to play must be connected to the same wifi connection and the same router. on a computer that you want to play with enter the ipaddress from earlier into host ip. your now ready to play.

play with friends connected to your hamachi connection

aa. if youve already played previous versions of the game or have already launched the game go to windows firewall search for udk

or built with udk and set allow for both private and public networks.

hamachi is third party software that allows you to connect to lan networks as if you were on the router.

because hamachi is free it only supports 2 players and so we only support 2 players although the paid version of hamachi supports more.

MAKE SURE TO CREATE THE HAMACHI CONNECTION BEFORE YOU CREATE THE LIFE IN WORLD SERVER

the host will need to use a cell phone connection because it automatically port forwards

ask an online friend through steam if they want to be the host or not

if they want to be the host. tell them to connect to the internet using their cellphone

host download hamachi

friend download hamachi

host create hamachi account

friend create hamachi account

host login

friend login

host create a new connection with password

host sends friend a steam message with the connection name and password

friend joins by entering connection name and password

right click life in world if your the host click on installed files browse

in the life in world folder for our purposes click create server contest not dedicated. if you want to use a different map you can click create server ocean not dedicated. it is not recommended to create a dedicated server as a cell connection is essentially required. the good news is with 2 players the game runs more or less fine.

since were the client right click join creators server felix and hit edit

type in the hamachi ip address where it says host ip or replace whatever ip address is there with the hamachi ip.

give your friend the hamachi ip.

tell them to type in the hamachi ip address where it says host ip in join creators server felix by right clicking and hitting edit. remember to save changes.

tell your friend to run join creators server felix

tell your friend to wait a second. the game should load a few seconds after launching the game.

the reconnect command is quite useful

Support:

**on the minimum spec and any other spec too for example 4k resolution. when using the change resolution bat file search ctrl f Resx

*when the game gets released the community hub will allow you to list your connection name and password for hamachi in the community hub forums everyday we will create threads for all 24 hours of the day that you can post your games to. so when your ready to play choose the hour your playing or plan to play and enter your connection name and password for hamachi so players can join. we also plan on releasing the source code for each revision of the game released yearly. however community fixes to the development folder will be tested and released as the community version but will be tested before officially released. in essence since i am only one person I will not be providing support of any kind but the maps can be modified with udk and the source can always be compiled for more extensive modifications. this will allow the community to fix any problems with the game.

settings known to work on all hardware configurations in single player mode are tested as

ai: 1 player

score limit: 0

time limit: 5

force respawn: no

the map that the game is run on is contest. other maps are sub maps of contest. the game has also been known to crash when switching from fullscreen to windowed mode. were working on a fix to make the game default to windowed mode.

a new feature has been added to life in world. every 5 minutes the map changes to a different map. this works best when setting the time limit to 5 minutes so you can see your score after each round. the first map is the stage with the door teleporters that allow you to explore life in world and makes you impossible to find. the map is huge. the second map removes them and after 5 minutes reloads into the first map. this is a work in progress though. we plan on eventually segmented the map into 5 maps. 1 for the full map. 2 to allow players find each other and 3 more for the open world sections segmented into 3. the game if it ever becomes popular enough will be updated yearly. we are also considering releasing our modifications to udks base game. keep in mind if you do modify the source youll have to make sure each person your playing with has the same source so were adding it as a separate download for each version of the game released. although at this time the games development folder probably won't be updated. kismet can be pretty powerful, its great for the animations and easter eggs in the game. we may want to make the game 3rd person at some point but its easier for me to work on other things in this game. we plan on creating a map of the united states by moving through the game world. hamachi is needed to play with friends online. if you manage to read the whole thing.(this idea has been scrapped) (although there is still code in brian the robot for it) we have a way of updating a directory manually with game listings for life in world using a chatbot. except it has to be updated manually using a learn file. you may want to create a forum or website for listing games similar to how friend codes used to be shared. anyone who knows how to get aiml to automatically update the learn file let me know id be interested to hear about it. if your plaaying with your friends locally. you don't need hamachi. on another computer on the same local network with the same copy of the game you should be able to play. by creating a game using the included bat file. and then joining uses the join bat file on another computer on the same network.

minimum spec page file requirement:

on the very specific minimum spec for 4gb machines. an nvme drive is in theory required for a large minimum 24000 maximum 24000 page file. in practice the computer comes with two drives. one that is emmc and one that is nvme. the c drive the emmc drive has a 750 megabyte minimum 750 maximum page file while the nvme drive has a 24000 minimum 24000 maximum page file.

*process lasso is a paid program that is required for the minimum spec. however the first 30 days of using the program are free. in process lasso if using the exact processor from the minimum spec and frankly the exact laptop. set cpu priority to above normal always. set process watchdog if cpu usage is above 80 set io priority to low if memory usage any memory usage is less than 1 megabyte set io priority to high. you can change this in process lasso if you wish. it should probably be less than 3 megabyte.

maximum spec page file requirement:

the maximum spec requires a minimum 8000 maximum 8000 page file

legacy devlog:

a lot has been accomplished but its also important that the game needs to be updated as infrequently as possible so laziness is a feature.

nostros somos preubando a liberacion menos neuvo versiones porque nosotros gustamos menos personas tener alternativo versiones de el juego. nosotros planamos agregar muchos cosas. es seria un divertido online juego cuando completando.

we are trying to make less new versiones because we want less people to have alternative versions of the game. we plan to add more things. this is from a devlog of the game as it was being made. the game is now completed. there may be yearly updates when the game is released. we might add things like being to explore miniaturized cities of the U.S but its just an expansion plan for the game. the game is completed. the only reason I was considering doing that as with seperate maps and each map being so large. it does seem like a waste not to take advantage of that potential.

after running for the first time and pressing play and then starting the match if you exit the game and then restart the game. the game runs 10 fps better and the controls are more responsive. files were deleted to decrease the zip size. I think these may be recreated when you start a match. its also possible its something that happens upon first installing unreal engine.
