Did you hear the studio audience applaud? If so, a feature.

Lol, that's a great feature if it's consistent.

Random feature.

I've got ghosts that talk in mine, which is now counted as they don't know they are dead.

I love that feeling too, sometimes the lack of ambient music makes great for the overall ambiance. Sort of like in T2 where in the city it was just wind blowing and some electric sounds scattered here and there

Yes, just that. Sometimes the sounds take on a life of their own.

@bikerdude, what I was actually thinking of in that moment was another map. But yes, Down by the Riverside also fits that mould.

Complex models like that need a collision mesh, especially if it's all compressed into a few units. That happens to have a good effect on performance and opens up the possibility of it becoming a moveable which can float on water.

@Xarg, I'm pleased if any mission runs 9 fps or higher on this laptop, which has begun to feel like a smooth framerate for me. Rats Triumphant/Penny Dreadful 2 run at 3-4 fps outdoors, but they're worth it (maybe they also have expensive audio pathfinding?)

Rat's is expensive because on large shadow casting light covers the whole map for sky light as I recall. PD2 just has super large vertical views... Though that also contributes to path finding because AI path in 3D even if they cannot walk up walls (etc). I'm not sure if there is a monsterclip ceiling to prevent that on the streets?

Rats Triumphant is expensive mainly because of the huge street that doesn't break line of sight. (And which is an unintended consequence of the mission growing well beyond its intended scale)

That's the great thing - we can recreate the lives and worlds of those people. I think that's the appeal of The Dark Mod.

I imagine stomach pains, tooth pains, back pains, muscle and hand pains, nausea, hunger, worry, fear, frustration... But, just in that moment, also a certain peace and anticipation about the promise of the unknown nonetheless.

Traveling through the developing world a lot recently has made me appreciate that through most of history before modern conveniences, and in much of the world outside the US/EU still, the world was a dangerous place where there weren't any safety nets. Life without modern society is precarious, but it feels so much more alive!

There's an old developer song that goes like this:

99 little bugs in the code

99 little bugs in the code

Take one down, patch it around

127 little bugs in the code

LOL

Heh, an age-old problem. At least it's slowly going the other direction for me, measured in pages of bugs
