Playing Duke Nuclear Winter is like a rite of passage. It helps you appreciate just how good the base game and other early FPS games are. Also the ending is dumb as poo poo.

Also, why didn't they introduce New Doom like this? I'm sure reactions would have been much better across the board.

That Smithsonian level is the best example of putting more effort into making a believable area than a fun level. http://hrp.duke4.net/download.php ADG Episode is a random good one from way back I just played. BobSP is also cool. Fusion is a good crazy total conversion with weapons and enemies from Quake, Half-Life, etc. I'm still checking out lots of these thingies.

A modified software renderer has been released for Quake II that adds colored lighting and a couple other features: http://super8.qbism.com/2015/01/quake-ii-with-8-bit-colored-lighting-ref_soft-dll/ Unfortunately it only seems to work with vanilla, r1q2, or 3.24. Also I don't know whether this is a thing with the vanilla software renderer as well (my guess: it is) but particles are absolutely huge and distracting at high resolutions.

Another early pre-alpha of Doom 1, sitting between the previously-discovered 0.2 and 0.4 builds, has been dug up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv_02MvAy7I Current research thread so far

Gosh, that's basically Wolfenstein. Did they actually use a modified Wolfenstein engine for Doom or was it rebuilt from scratch eventually?

That was one of the big features of playing the game with an OpenGL compatible 3D card back then, that, and the texture interpolation.

The similarities to Wolf3D are probably more because of the early state of the levels, combined with Tom Hall's design philosophy at that point in time(lots of square rooms, because those are "realistic")

I think it was John Carmack who acquired the set of military architecture books, though. Pretty much everyone was behind the "realistic" level design until Romero dissented and started doing things his way.A.o.D. posted:Nah, the original q2 software mode did not have colored lights.

Especially games. They don't leap fully-formed from the head of an auteur, the best games are the result of extensive iteration and a willingness to go in any direction that feels right even if it wasn't the original plan.

Has anyone had issues with QuakeSpasm after upgrading to Windows 10? I can no longer activate V-sync in the video options (it just says "N/A"). Looks like my Nvidia drivers are updated so I'm not sure what the deal is.

I did do a clean install of drivers after upgrading.

Minidust posted:Not to derail too much into PC tech chat, but could you dumb down the "clean install" method? I'm on a laptop but it has an integrated graphics card as well as a GeForce 840M. Easiest way without other tools is running the Nvidia Geforce driver install and selecting "Clean install". You could try through GeForce Experience, but I'm not sure if that's option is in there. My method, though, is using a program called Driver Fusion to have it nuke everything then I just do a fresh install. There's another program called Driver Cleaner.Net that's also pretty good.

haveblue posted:Especially games. They don't leap fully-formed from the head of an auteur, the best games are the result of extensive iteration and a willingness to go in any direction that feels right even if it wasn't the original plan. If there was any single thing I could point as a universal truth about good games, this would be it. Iteration and testing create the best games. Most starving devs/studios don't have the time or the money to do proper iteration long enough to come up with something really amazing. This is also why you'll sometimes see a studio that has done nothing but 'bad' B-C games suddenly come out of 'nowhere' with a solid A or A+ game when they have the time and money needed to fully explore a design. I don't think a lot of people who play games realize just how mutable games in dev are, and how rapidly changes can occur. It's also fun watching how a studio responds to players after release. A good one embraces the community 'breaking' the game in various awesome ways (because its fun) and supports it. A lovely one tries to make players play the game 'their way'. Which never works. I'd be hard pressed to think of many cool and enduring fps tricks that were an intentional feature rather than something discovered and adopted by the player base after release. Everything from bunny hopping and rocket jumping to 360 noscopes. Ok I could maybe do without the latter, but point stands Also applies to fighting games and a lot of other genres as well. Hell, the entirety of the speedrunning community is built around breaking games - but it's awesome!
