is that they do look overly washed out on some? 

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

look too dark on my monitor. and of course my monitor is correct and all of ya'lls monitors are wrong. 

Willem is on the money. If 99% of internet images look spot on brightness wise (to everyone) and 1% doesn't....guess which ones are wrong??


Quick Willem, post something retarded about modern gaming so I can start disagreeing with you again :P 

...get a room!

....relatively bland wall detailing / textures, those get a thumbs up from me. I like the classic styles with a few tastier details. 

First thing I can criticize in each shot, just with a glance, trying not to look too closely.

Shot1; Maybe give the steps a different vertical texture?

Shot2; small intense lights on the red runes could work, bright red with wait 4.

Shot3; are there lava balls jumping under the stairs?

Shot4; ambient_drip

Shot5; maybe pull and push some of the big green bricks in the main walls to break them up a bit.

It's looking very promising! 

...why the change of tex halfway up the wall in 09? 

that's the waterlevel when it's flooded. 

You're doing good so far! 

# makes no sense to change the tex as these are brick tile things
# no coloured lighting in this as the original game had none (next stand-alone map I think I may do something like Stark Monstrosity with coloured lights and stuff)
# no, but thats a good idea
# already got my ambient drip there
# The detail in there is already much higher than the original game, I am almost tempted to *remove* some detail!!

distrans,

Kinn kind of got why I changed the texture, a couple of my maps have the brown texture go grimier and greener the more you go down and get to watery bits. It still feels very id-like and quakey while bringing some freshness to the texture use.

Overall I'm actually looking forward to making some Sandy Petersen style maps most, they were weak on detail but had some toughness which I tend to prefer in maps.

Some more progress with DP engine 

Amazing pictures !

What is DP engine ? Wil I be able to run your new thingy on OS X ? 

DarkPlaces it is called, and yes there�s a port for OSX too.

@Sock, no more screens, we want releases!!
(Looking too good;)) 

I'm playing with Quakespasm. Sock, will your little warrior thingy be playable on it too ? Hmm ? Don't drop QS ! 

I�d suppose yes, but without the Eyecandy:( 

@Barnak, In The Shadows will still work fine with any Fitz type engine (Fitz, MarkV, QS) and now it fully supports DP features as well. Obviously Fitz engines don't have much eye candy but the core gameplay/assets are still present.

@mfx, it will be coming out soonTM ! :)
