So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Very quake-like looking indie game in development -

I Had Nightmares Like That Before

Monsters/graphics look great, but the big empty infinite void (ie lack of level design) is a big turn off for me.

Maybe there is something a bit Quakey about the visuals, but gameplay-wise I'm not really seeing it - looks more like a first-person bullet hell or something.

I would love that soundtrack in a Quake level though.

Yeah it does look like a first person bullet hell. You never know what might happen with the development. Also, I thought I would despise Ziggurat but I put a lot of hours into the game and had a ton of fun. We'll see how it turns out.

Looks like it'll get super frustrating pretty quickly.

has more of a doom feel than a quake feel. But i agree, i would like to see that gameplay put into actual levels (even though they would probably need to be very open in style to support the horde style of gameplay.

Agree

Riddick

I just tried to run my old Escape From Butcher's Bay on Windows 7 64 bits. It crashed after the initial credits screen. Tried to patch it to 1.1, it says "old file not found". I was hoping to mod it using Ogier. This game is very close to what I wanted for a project.

Does your workmates know how to solve it?

Riddick

#8549 posted by Scragbait on 2015/10/04 15:00:35

I'm really pushing my memory here but I had the original Butcher Bay on my Vista machine and had to do something special to get it to work. I had a legit copy on disk but I think I ended up getting a no-CD crack executable because of SecoROM compatibility issues.

I later bought the Riddick combo on disk which has both Butcher Bay and Escape from Athena. I put it on a Win 7 X64 machine and it ran. It claimed a graphics update but I thought the older version looked better.

"graphics Update" = Most Of The Levels Being Rebuilt

Yes, my copy is an original 5 CD from ~2005, that's why it doesn't work. Nobody seem to be selling it anymore. The Athena game is US$14 and dollar is too expensive right now for me.

I had turds like that before. Literally, it looks like diarrhoea, set in the void.

Just out of curiosity, whats the gain in building mods for games that no one on the planet has installed anymore? It's just a lot of work for no one to play.

#8556 posted by [Kona] on 2015/10/05 22:14:49

Wasn't gonna say anything myself, but I thought it looked terrible. Minimalist is something, but completely empty void is just lazy.

#8557 posted by adib on 2015/10/05 22:45:00

The gain is make my game a total conversion of an already tried and true starting point. Also, what about other planets?

#8558 posted by [Kona] on 2015/10/06 06:38:24

A standalone version would work. But the requirement of having whatever pre 2005 game you pick that doesn't have any community behind it, means you could spends 100s of hours creating something that maybe 10 people will play.

#8559 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/10/06 13:35:04

So ... like Quake mapping then? :P

#8560 posted by Rick on 2015/10/06 13:49:38

Lol, almost exactly what I thought when I read that. Though for me and Quake mapping it's probably more like 1000s of hours and 100 people.

>10 people

Err

If anyone wonders why you map/mod for [old game] really your answer should be this:
