    Thank you, I sure hope so, I have so many projects left in my drawer... I was a bit put off by the amount of other maps using the setting. It was meant to be Cinqueterre and soon after I started IO came out with their Sapienza Hitman chapter :(

    Congrats, looks and feel like a nice little coastal town. I need to check it in-game, you have that underground route straight away for Ts that reminds me of a layout I had started and never finished (for me was on CT side)

    I of course gave a like to the screens, very good work here.

    At a second inspection, and after considering other’s comments regarding the darkness, I realised that what feels weird is what it feels as total lack of lampposts. At close inspection I can see you have some in there, but the lighting is very same-y across the board. It makes it look very aseptic and fake. I feel you need many more lights placed at player level/illuminating main paths, atm seems there’s environmental lights and floor level lights. Yes there are some lights on top of doors and other player-level elements, but they are out on the side. I would like a stronger accent on lights that illuminate paths vs end lights, less bright and different hue the latter with some spotlights highlighting “hero” buildings.

    Not sure if you are planning to give a decal and prop pass to make it look much more dirty, cos like I said seems too clean.

    Absolutely stunning, I couldn’t visualise it like this from the first screens, I’m so glad I was so wrong.

    Like someone said, the evil-lair vibe runs strong in these screens :D makes me think of a set for 007 more than anything.

    Best of luck for the contest!

    So they are trying to bank on the Rick & Morty train wagon

    the trailer is actually hilarious, but yeah...

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    @knj depends what you trying to achieve, if is realism what Fmpone said is true; I can say I like more the sunset shot because there’s more dynamic range, I can see more of the outside while the first just seems blown out in terms of exposure. It’s not realistic but if is a stylezed scene I can’t see how you couldn’t tone it a bit down and make it a favourite.

    I feel it tells more of a story than the cold version, atm makes me think a nuclear bomb just went off ?

  • The Steam Sale Thread

    Quote from Jetsetlemming

    13 hours ago, Jetsetlemming said: It's frustrating me that Dark Souls 3's DLC isn't on sale in the steam thanksgiving sale. It's currently a dollar more expensive than the base game. I figured waiting a few months would net me a deal. I was really disappointed with DS3's mechanics and world design, but I still want to experience the DLC for the lore.

    I noticed this happens often, the big SP DLC for Bioshock Infinite never went below 50% for ages and think to remember there was the same price situation.

  • Battlefront 2

    I don’t have a problem with micro transactions, if they complement a cheap game… putting them on top of a full priced game is dirty.

    I guess EA needs to recoup the money of the license…

    I wonder, Disney must be getting a cut on sales? Is it really get the license and then hands-off?

    I mean we are talking about EA as the greedy entity but let’s not forget Disney is on a full-on campaign to maximise profits: they have announced they’re creating their own streaming service for example, so we should expect all Disney/Marvel/Star Wars contenta to disappear from everywhere else. Apparently a Star Wars TV show is being discussed, and we know they’ve made this ginormous deal with EA for games.

  • Battlefront 2

    Hawaii State (apparently with other States) is looking at introducing legislation to declare lootcrates gambling as soon as next year


    a "gambling" rating for games doesn't look too improbable now. I just wonder how they will enforce a forbid to sale - I don't know if retailers would sell an underage person a game labelled "M", but at least in Italy I think they just might be.

    PS: like people in the comments of that tweet, I'm not so sure how happy we should be about governments stepping in to regulate video-games. I want the blood in video games to stay red, so to speak.

  • Rime

    Still annoyed I wasn’t able to try it at EGX, queue in Xbox booth was unbearable.

    Diesnt seem it received such good reviews (don’t trust when someone gives a 9 and another a 6).

    Waiting to find it on a Steam sale for no more than 8 dineros. Still annoyed with Tequila Works not fixing Deadlight which had inaudible sequences. They even released a Directot’s cut version in 2016 that has even worse bugs like save system problems and didn’t fix those.
