UnityScript itself being some horrible thing based off JavaScript and has been end of lifed since 2017 and removed from Unity altogether since some LTS of the editor around then. Famously (uh, kinda), Yandere Simulator is still using it because that's all the terrible developer can figure out.

Thinking about it, Unity is easily the third most important FPS engine of all time.

Make the obligatory splash logo for the professionals, hide it for the amateurs? Mmm kinda makes sense.

It's interesting how the popular figure of Build game has been Duke / DN3D, but for the more connoisseur public, is Caleb / Blood.

I'd swap Doom for Quake, both to represent a different era and to acknowledge it was really responsible for the whole thing to a greater degree Looking at the Lithtech family on Wikipedia, I had no idea it was still around and had been used so many times, including a lot of really good games, but I don't really spot anything that was a hugely influential milestone haveblue fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 16, 2021 |

haveblue posted:I'd swap Doom for Quake, both to represent a different era and to acknowledge it was really responsible for the whole thing to a greater degree I’d argue Quake is more important as an engine, where Doom is more important as a game. Remember that any Call of Duty game and any Source engine game still has chunks of Carmack’s code holding it together to this day. Outside of Unreal Engine, I can’t think of anything else that has that sort of reach.

So if you lose some (or if they vanish after you kick them around too much): go forth and kill. I have! I didn't actually know that any head would work, but I certainly tried anyways. Anyways, I kinda love Lithtech, but its early engine is jank as gently caress and the later one is just a drat fine engine that most people don't realise isn't one of the big ones. With the exception of Monolith's own games, it's basically always been the "we can't afford Unreal or iDtech" engine. catlord fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Apr 17, 2021 |

Wow that is a much longer list than I ever thought. Also that sounds like a description of CryEngine as well, but, it's even better that way.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I didn't really follow anything aside from seeing the previews of the Alien Vs Predator Jaguar game; was there ever a follow up to that asymmetrical multiplayer idea that that game tried to pull off? The first PC AvP is good (at least, I have fond memories of it). It has a quirky homegrown engine that’s honestly pretty solid. The alien is one of the few FPS characters that can leave Doomguy in the dust and it can get delightfully confusing when you jump in to a group of humans and start hackin’n’slashin. Humans have a monster arsenal but are pretty weak; Predators are what you expect. I think I played DM on a LAN but that was 20+ years ago. The characters for sure play very differently from each other. AvP2 has a better story campaign (AvP1 kinda has a story but it feels more like a series of disparate levels strung together). It feels a more tame and refined though; much slower movement than in the first game, for one.

the marine campaign especially creates an incredible atmosphere for such an old game. exploring the deserted colony in the dark, pouring rain creates such a strong sensation of “i really really do not want to be here”

I remember in AVP2 me and a friend were playing it and a really odd thing happened. He was playing Predator, and I was running a human with whatever class has the sniper rifle. he had thrown the disc at me and from what I can guess is that I sniped the disc (since it was heading straight in front of me) and the game couldn't comprehend this and killed the server. It seems really weird for the game to not be able to handle that, but honestly who could predict such a weirdly specific thing happening?

i burnt out a little bit on games in general a couple of months ago but have reintroduced Doom into my life. Finally got around to playing PSX Doom via the GEC Master Edition and actually really enjoyed it. Because it has so many similarities to Doom 64 it's made me realize that what i don't really like about 64 are the ugly prerendered sprites, everything else (lighting, pace, sounds+music) is alright. Also some really strange changes from the original (obviously for hardware limitations, i'd bet; for example the PSX version of The Crusher's iconic main room is about 15 feet high. also they nerfed the poo poo out of the Revenant, i guess regular speed spooky skelemen would have been overwhelming on a psx controller. I also finished No Rest for the Living in one sitting a couple of nights ago and had a blast. It's a bit monochromatic in its designs but i enjoyed it a lot more than I thought i would, especially map04: Hell mountain and map05: Vivisection. Of the commercially released wads i think i only have Master Levels left, and, uhhh, no thanks. Now i've jumped back in to Ancient Aliens and it's slaughtering me. But it's so creative and the music rocks so i keep coming back for more. Up on the "started but haven't finished" FPS pile when i'm done are: - HL1 (hit a wall somewhere in Forget about Freeman) - Wolfenstein: The New Order (stopped somewhere in Eisenwald) - Arcane Dimensions (don't remember where i stopped, 10-12 maps in i think) - Comedy option: learn Trenchbroom and start making maps

Just steadily ramping the tension without a single enemy. I'm afraid to revisit it because i don't know how well it'll hold up, but i remember loving it.

AVP2 answer is release the tension and turn into a normal sci-fi shooter which is ok I guess. A way that sort of seems to work is rouge like short run games where you can turn up the tension and then end the game and then run it again and again with a different layout so you never have to outstay the setting.

an alien game could work pretty well with roguelike elements i think. you’re on some sort of randomly generated rust bucket ship with a randomly generated crew with randomly generated personality traits and also one of them is randomly an android. kind of like the ‘84 computer game but more so

Alien Trilogy is the Prometheus of the games, it's got a lot of issues but some people like it regardless. You know, I understand they're not well regarded, but I liked both the AvP movies. Actually, keeping in mind I haven't seen The Predator yet, I've at the very least enjoyed all the Alien and Predator movies. That said, I'd like to nominate Colonial Marines as the Alien: Covenant of the games, unless we can nominate the hypothetical third of the prequel trilogy.
