Here's a video in the style of our game that communicates pretty well the difference between good and bad lighting for a scene.

Why this game was awesome..:

 

They have all sorts of reactions to whatever the player does. even if you do things you're not supposed to, the game has a special reaction for you, instead of just saying "restart the mission".

 

At another part in this game, you have to hire a pilot. If you instead decide to eradicate said pilot, you get scolded.

 

"Well, that was a completely logical decision... getting rid of the only pilot left in Forum City. Now I guess you'll have to fly yourself to the next mission."

 

*when you start the next mission, instead of making a smooth landing, your helicopter crash-lands.* You lose ALL of your equipment and you start the mission with very low health.

 

Like I said, awesome!

This game looks pretty cool, and best of all, I don't have to use Steam to play it!

 

Single question though, do a reasonable number of people play it online? I need a new multiplayer game to entertain me and I enjoy games like this that are fast paced and chaotic.

 

I like the design decisions here as well. They kept the bounce pads, but they also included the ability to freely jump. You never were able to jump in the original, but not being able to jump these days in games seems like a horrible thing (Hear me T4 developers?).

Good video, thanks for the link. The same thing he's talking about is happening in gaming as well as far as the comments on sequels and the money men taking over.

 

We want mature games that are smart, require critical thought, immerse you in the world, and give you freedom above all else... the big AAA companies just aren't listening.

Yeah unfortunately where there's creativity and passion, money men can help make things happen, but the moment they wanna control the process for fastest profit, the creatives are the ones in the pinch. Goes for pretty much anything in entertainment I'm sure.

Yeah, we did a lot of work to make everyone killable, unless their invincibility made sense in the context of the game. I recommended giving Scara an indestructible shield or something, but this way turned out to be more fun :-).

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
