In cases like Half-Life Two Episode Two, a coward might quail at the full name. That's OK. Some of the best mappers are cowards. You simply say both Half-Life and the subtitle.

The lack of subtitle is, however, inexcusable.

If Episode One was to be Half-Life 2: Aftermath, I wonder what Episode Two's subtitle was to have been.

This doesn't happen often but when a game has chapters/episode titles and the final chapter/level/mission is named after the game itself I start hooting and hollering and banging pots and pans together. Since I don't get that enough in games I do this in every stupid book I write.

It slaps every time.

I mean, in any medium, if your title is a good title for both the thing as a whole and the climax then I think that's just a sign of strong structural and thematic coherency. Just a good sign that you have not hosed up at your job.

This is still my favorite joke I've seen in a game in years. The original Japanese is "Psychobreak" which is flames. I bet that'd be easier to fit in to campy rear end dialogue. "Sebastian, I'm having a PSYCHO BREAK!!!"

Some had families waiting. For others, their only family would be the men they bled beside. There were no bands, no flags, no Honor Guards to welcome them home. They went to William Shatner's TekWar because their country ordered them to. But in the end, they fought not for their country or their flag, they fought to stay out of cryo-storage.

What's on your mind, Axa?
What about if the namedrop is in the soundtrack? Like as the credits start and the most early-2000s butt-rock starts playing, is that acceptable or does it have to be dialogue in-game?

I completely forgot that the buttrock in Fear 2 name drops a science just recently killed as though he's a giant bad rear end, and now you've reminded me, and it's all coming back again

Ultimately this is one of the things I like about Bond films, they have a song with the name of the film in for 3-4 minutes at the start so no-one feels short changed if they don't say it later.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Speak of the devil, there's another update to The Force Engine along with another video -- this time including limited mod support!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmlIixrAa2o


https://theforceengine.github.io/blog.html posted:

After a long time in development, the Core Game Loop Release, version 0.7 is finally available. All of the weapons, items, and AI has been integrated. Dark Forces can be completed from beginning to end user The Force Engine. TFE continues to support the original, 320x200 fixed-point renderer but now properly supports high resolution rendering, and widescreen (including Ultrawide). TFE can load mods directly from ZIP files, you can drag and drop them onto the executable. It also has a built-in Mod Loader, accessible from the main menu.

To get mods to show up, simply create a Mods folder in your TFE directory, the Dark Forces game data directory, or under /ProgramData/TheForceEngine. In that mods folder you can put the zip files, one per mod, or extract them to one sub-directory per mod.

Below is a video that marks the release of version 0.7 - the Core Game Loop release. This video shows part of Detention Center, and then small parts of three user levels from “back in the day.”

Note that mod support is currently in “Beta”, not all mods fully work, and some may even crash. However, these issues will be resolved in future versions. There are still bugs and issues, but the Dark Forces can be finished from beginning to end using TFE.
