So it turns out, according to one of the Remake's programmers, that the super-dark thing isn't a design choice (whew!). It's just an artifact of the Med level just not getting much polish -- including lighting passes -- before the demo was carved off from the main game. (They were trying to hit the ...

Respect.

And I have already played through it, and dumped a massive wall of notes on the devs. :D I'm actually impressed with how much of the "feel" of the original System Shock this very early demo of the first level was able to deliver, considering they rebuilt the whole thing from scratch in Unreal. (Mayb...

Not that Focus! I love "Hocus Pocus" and have since it first somehow got played on the radio.

I'd much rather listen to that than try to wrap my brain around the nightmare on stilts that was FOCUS.

Thank you, Victor.

Here's hoping Topware are able to follow something like CD Projekt Red's trajectory with their three Witcher games: a quirky but enjoyable first game for the PC, a second "accessible" game made for the consoles, and a third game that offers the best of both (Two?) worlds.

*thinks of the ancient software systems which are basically forgotten enchantments which were written by wizened mages in dead languages* SAP fhtagn! Don't forget FOCUS. Since we're talking eldritch horrors born in the inky depths of pre-history that years later were still being chosen to run entir...

we're 20 people in our open plan room and everyone of us has wildly different capabilities and everyone is needed. if we'd equalise we'd lose our capabilities..... In essence, that is exactly what I told the "Individualism should not be encouraged" guy when I emailed him to politely but firmly expr...

Victor, I'm curious -- what do you think of the gameplay in the TW2 follow-up games?

Have they so far felt like TW2? Or more like the original Two Worlds?

Or something new?

Things have actually been pretty good here. I like the company, and for a big employer they're pretty good about how they treat employees. But the past few years, they've gotten really bureaucratic -- every simple task is an exercise in frustration at having to navigate multiple slow approval system...

Sweet flaming Buddha on a pinecone, this culture is lost. So I'm at work today, and several of us are chatting on our random Slack channel when one person adds a link to an internal site that talks about how the company has started building open plan areas, with "hoteling," because Agile. That is me...

Vic, I was thinking of you as I exploded the list of Limit Theory's features and put it all back together again. You've always been consistent about what you're looking for, and it's a perfectly reasonable vision for a game. And zircher, you also are not at all wrong. The feature list I suggested is...

nickgreyden, this is exactly the kind of specific outline I'd like to see suggested. To keep this thread dedicated to comments specifically about the end of Josh's Limit Theory, could I persuade you to repost your suggested list of features to the new " In My Limit Theory... " topic? Posted in the ...

I'm glad to see there are already some suggestions for the versions of Limit Theory we'd build if it was our project to lead. Here's my take on it. It's in two parts -- the list of features I'd emphasize (and not), followed by a very high-level production outline. (And note please that this is just ...
