Now this is impressive. Custom game engine being made for and targeted at a machine from 1986, way before FPS games ever went mainstream. The frame rate is good and fast, the window size is very big.

"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."...

Amusing, but carbon capture is a gimmick. Same in Australia:

Well I'm sure Norway is as full of stinky-mouthed empty promises just as much as Australia is, but I think you're bringing politics into the wrong thread.  You're looking for one of Kurshok's gems.

 

I posted the video for all that wholesome Chuck Norris goodness.

I want to love this mission, but they used the same short background ambient loop throughout 80% of it and it really gets old after a wile. Shame too, because I can tell that a hell of a lot of effort was put into making this mission and I love the idea of taking an existing environment from the game, fleshing it out and expanding on it with a new story and new locations/sections to explore.

Wow does that look painful. Anyone who thinks their PC struggles with games should watch this. It goes to show that just because you can modify a game to work on an older computer than it was designed for, doesn't mean that it's a good idea. And we now know why id didn't bother supporting anything below a 286.

The engine is more complex than Wolfenstein 3D, but still not on par with Doom. Only three ceiling heights are allowed.

 

But the performance is the most impressive thing since this machine definitely was not designed for games like this.

Smell that? It's what I call "Plandemic pricing". An entry level graphics card now costs $330, and that is before all of the inventory is automatically bought by bots to be sold for twice as much on Ebay, thereby allowing GPU manufacturers to raise the MSRP even more.

Still can't believe how futuristic this is. Nowadays it's a little cheesy but it still looks very futuristic.

      Say, I know it's been a while since the site got overhauled from the crash. But did we ever figure out if/how to get the recent topics & replies list back? It's not a total deal breaker but it was nice for becoming a thread creeper again...

      Some of you who've been on the TDM discord know I was out of work last Winter, just putting in hrs for the developer portfolio. Currently I've been working a seasonal job to pay the bills and now I'm finally in my last week before I get bumped off. Things will be tight but I'm planning a long off period to make as much content as I can. Big plans in Unreal Engine as well as my most ambitious TDM collab yet! Never been so excited to be a stuck at home to pursue my life's work. With a lotta time and maybe some luck, I'm hoping to get enough art work done that I may start applying around to studios.
