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?

Sorry, which part of that was meant to be cool?

Which is basically Descent.

Descent Was Still Great Though

Good enough that it even crossed my "try to map for it" threshold.

I got the level editor with a descent 1 and 2 bundle, but it wasnt as flexible as quake...

Well that's not quite fair. It's capable of doing cool things but the level of skill required seemed much higher and not worth the effort.

Was Descent's tech mostly 'you can make cube portals, and attach them to other cube portals, and only X can be seen at once' or something like that? Never seen an editor for the game, just remember reading once that it was a very basic portal rendering engine, which is how it did '3d' while really still only being a bunch of 2D shapes data-wise.

#8617 posted by Lunaran on 2015/10/23 21:20:09

I don't know about portals, but all levels were made of 6-sided cubic volumes, joined by empty coincident faces, which I guess were treated as portals. They could be skewed, tapered, and twisted however you wanted, but your only option was to add a cube. Not many hexagonal rooms in Descent.

It was very much 3D, though, there were no 2.5D shenanigans.

Nice, only looks like a 10 year old game now. At least the environments have some sort of theme and interest, but Unreal 4 tech my ARSE.

#8624 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/24 19:58:04

Just because it's UE4 does not mean it has to look like a modern game. That's just the tools that they used to get the job done.

#8625 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/10/24 20:09:29

I think he means since it's UE4 it should probably look better than it does. Seriously, UE4 does most of the heavy lifting ... it's not that hard.

#8626 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/24 20:29:52

It looks alright, this is certainly a stylistic choice they have gone with.
