Destined

I hope you guys don't mind posting this here, but, i'm having a great time playing No One Lives Forever ATM, classic spy stealth shooter game, for those who don't know it. :) I have the German Game of the Year Edition, but, watched a Let's Play of the original English version on Youtube, and found the English synchro quite a lot better, so i Googled a bit for it, and Google came up with a site where someone offered both the first and the second part in a "Revival Edition", with widescreen, and modern PC fixes, and No-CD's patches applied. The legal situation is a bit "unclear" as the games are not being sold anymore, and there's confusion over who owns the rights for the games, Night Dive Studios obviously were serious about obtaining the rights, and developing a remake, as they did with System Shock, but, the negotiations obviously went inconclusive. It is surely not legal to offer the games like that, of course, so i won't post any links, but, if you own a legit copy, i guess there's no point in not getting it. The first part works absolutely perfect here on Windows 10 Home 64-bit, and i'm having a great time playing it through (almost done now). I played it ages ago, probably more than 10 or 12 years ago, and already had great fun back then, but, don't remember most of the game, because i only played it through once. Sort of the "mother" of all spy stealth games, with some nice humour, and a great female protagonist. :)

About NOLF 2, use dgVoodoo2 + ReShade 3.x on top of the widescreen mod!

And maybe Indirect Sound to re-enable correct positional/spatial sound (but there's a little bug to bust with LithTech Engine: me and jonpol - Indirect Sound author - are working on it :D )

Grim Fandango Remastered is free for the next 43ish hours on GOG:

Wow I literally just bought it a few days ago when GOG was having a sale on it. -_-;

Kind of weird they'd put it on sale only to make it free a few days later, almost swarmy.

 

Edit: Sorry didn't even look at the date & realize this was necro'd. Carry on then.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

It's the *deluxe* version.

It was in a bundle some times ago, but not the deluxe version.

Things happen.

 

Btw does anything new appear anymore through that feature of connecting GOG and Steam and not having to buy games you own on at least one service?

Most common sense idea I ever saw because few who care about their money will buy the same product twice.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Lol. Bought it a while ago but never got to playing it (I've played the base game back when it came out). This one is a real time-eater. Nevertheless I really have to work through my pile of shame before I buy a new game. :blush:

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
