Azure Midsummer

on really big/wide ones it makes sense but it feels a bit unnecessary on, say, 27" 16:9 ones for sure

beautiful, raw, deeply resonant, making me a little bit teary as i sit in silence at my desk processing it all. hard to put even a sliver of the feelings into words really but most of all i am glad to have experienced all that.

easily one of my most looked forward to releases this year!!

the sort of scene that'll make an average observer do a maple syrup spittake

the shading is so good tho

been following its development, the aesthetic is top notch

aw geez anyone got a napkin

yeah the texture definitely implies more complexity than is happening, ofc with custom maps you could make a whole host of cool door animations but here's how it looks in vanilla e1m1

this one's with subtle palettization enabled in ironwail

i love it when set items have meaningful stat buffs

exquisite work as always!!

and here's an ingame shot from e2m1

here's the original

making a texture replacer for vanilla quake doors, never was a huge fan of the shape on them so i tried to break it up while keeping compatibility with existing maps

It was really hard to get a good capture of the city since the whole thing doesn't even fit onscreen. Go check it out ingame!!! Smell the roses. Stick your face into the polygons. Breathe in the pixels and just vibe out dude.

ULTRAKILL - FRAUD ART THREAD

Unlike Lust, I hand placed every building in Fraud's city to get a more naturalistic European town. It's mostly based on a visit to Florence I did years back, though inspired by Paris as well. The city wraps on itself to form what's effectively an O'Neill cylinder.

love the shading

dunno if i have the files still, i'd probably struggle to match my old style anyways

i definitely saw one being used as a monitor stand at my first job 😆

i wish dan was in the game, i gotta dunk on some people saikyo style

classyyyy 💅

writing music (oops! all arpeggiated minor chords on guitar)

call you chef fairweather the way you always cooking

plenty of optimised games coming out these days just as there were poorly optimised, resource-hogging games back in the 90s - i had several games w/ full installs that were bigger than my hard drive and then you'd have to deal with swapping between 5 discs that can and will scratch to hell and back

i mean there are worker co-operative studios out there which is generally a pretty good deterrent against typical industry BS because it rarely is the actual developers who want to push shitty, short-sighted decisions on the customers or fellow employees

I like both but maybe the thick a little more, absolutely gorgeous artwork regardless

technically it's even less since that 206 includes the muzzle flash which isn't normally seen until you fire :)

@adaya.bsky.social did all the weapon models and fantastic work on them at that

it's 174 tris without the muzzle flash

at some point you'll definitely run into memory limits depending on what else is loaded and there probably is a cap at some point (maybe 4096) but i'd have to play around with it to see!

ingame

episode 0 of librequake is DOS compatible, the rest is made for modern limits
