Is this a Doom or Doom II wad? 

 

nothing better than the double shotty 

Greetings,

This will be my first public release, titled DARK CITY. It is intended to be a non-linear survival horror experience.

Beta to follow in coming weeks, time permitted. 

Screenshots are a bit bright and washed out. Maybe tone down the lighting a bit?? 

But at least the map is true to its name. 

must need to change my monitor setting or something. 

Screenshots you take in game will always look stupidly darker when viewed later. Increasing the contrast and brigthness by about 15-20 tends to fix that. 

 

I should take both possibilities, that the map is too dark and that the screenshots are a misrepresentation, into consideration.

However, I might explain further that part of the non-linearity of the map stems partially from the need for players to activate electrical generators that turn on lights to reveal new areas. So in many cases I have to make sure that the light is dark enough that the player will not see or be able to access those areas until the have toggle the appropriate lighting. Perhaps this makes screenshots a bad way to go, lol. 

For brightness, just make a histogram of the screenshots, better than eyeballing it.

Though it will always be ridiculously dark, cause it's Quake. 

I'll try that. I also started using fade multipliers. Here I've tried extended the geometry and added ambient light:

Different gamma settings probably. They look fine to me too on Linux with a sRGB monitor. 

same here. also the last shot looks awesome. city map with metal textures?? yes please! 

Metal map plox? https://www.quaddicted.com/_media/pipeline/blackrock1.jpg 

I still have it at about 70% done. Unfortunately, I had it tested and it needs a lot more work to smooth out gameplay and it hasn't been detailed at all. 

yeah on my monitor settings they look fine. It's calibrated but I assume most people's are and so it just comes down to different displays doing things differently. 

Remember the inside joke in the mce library... 

Ever notice how screenshots from professional games never look pitch black on anyone's monitors? :) 

is that they do look overly washed out on some? 

a bit washed out to me, but my monitor is quite bright.
