    ..uhhh, don't all post at once guys. Aaroe is looking for feedback/support and this is a unique indie title so I thought there would be people interested enough...

    Some of the units have a map which shows you the different parts of each section.

    Lava, which looks hot and is probably not fit to swim in. Reminds me of Indy & The Temple Of Doom.

    There was a vat of toxic gunge blocking my way to The Mine entrance... it's gone now.

    This big laser thingy creates a hole into the lower mines where you gain access to the factory used to create new Strogg.

    Dat waterfall. For an old "ugly" game, the lighting sure is purdy.

    Inside the factory, hanging vats of mushed human parts. Lovely.

    One of the machines that "recycles" humans into Strogg parts, simple design but wonderfully effective!

    I received a PM from Nicolai Aaroe, head of the Misery mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. who I befriended awhile ago telling me about his kickstarter launch for a series of role playing cards. On closer inspection of his page, I realised he'd also started up a brand new game back in March called "The Seed" which is presented as a dystopian point and click title set in a post-apocalyptic Russian wasteland. You can read all about it here:


    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/989416433/the-seed-0


    There's lots of media and information on the page and there's also a great video explaining exactly what the project straight from the faces of the developers!


    I have been long impressed by Nicolai's photoshop skills and it's truly great to see them put to their strongest use here, his photo-manip techniques are wonderful!


    You can see his playing cards project here too:


    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/98941…-aftermath-vol1


    As you can see, support for both projects is already very strong, with The Seed already well within the funding budget with the first act due sometime this month!

    Quote from Minos

    You shouldn't use pictures with direct lighting information. It makes textures look really ugly and out of place ingame since the ingame lighting will probably never match the texture lighting


    This. It isn't so hard to paint out the light on the photo though if you use the clone stamp carefully and paint over the dark areas slightly whilst leaving enough light information to look natural.

    Quote from Armageddon

    Downpour was very beautiful. The story was pretty good as well but the monsters were just boring humanoid black ink things and they all did the same attacks and movements so it got very repetitive.


    Yeah I saw some pictures of the monsters, at least Homecoming had some decent attempts like Siam, Vatra didn't even try!

    Quote from dux

    He wasn't though. He was a serious alcohol and substance abuser throughout his career. He was in rehab multiple times, all because he suffered serious depression and dealt with it through said substance abuse. It was all just a face. I imagine behind closed doors he was completely different to how we knew him. I've dealt with serious depression through my life but I don't think I'd ever go as far as killing myself. I've thought about it several times but I don't think I could ever go through with it. I've never reached that "point" yet like he did. I don't think I want to know what could push him so far that he would actually do it, either. It really bothered me hearing this news.


    Should have said "who appeared to be funny and upbeat" I wasn't aware of the troubles of his private life, it seems to be a recurring thing with comedians according to some...

    I remember loving the Hell out of this back in the day, playing it around this girl's house who I fancied like mad, didn't happen sadly but the game was awesome all the same.


    I've got an image dump of all the backgrounds from the Resident Evil games including the remake and 0, really inspirational for level design...

    Possible suicide:


    It's bad enough he died, it's worse to think that one of the most funny and upbeat guys on the planet would actually kill themselves
