The fuck is wrong with interface in the bottom part? Repeated small texture or something? Looks awful.
Ugly banding from widescreen mod's crop-paste in order to fill space. It's more noticeable in IWD than in BG due to the UI textures. I've made a fix-patch for 1280x720 res here

I heard the main character from Drakengard on PS3 is nymphomaniac... so maybe....this game share "features" between installments? :M

:what:

That's barely scratching the surface, man. This guy makes 15k USD a month, and he's just one dude, without any team whatsoever:


The top cat in adult games at the moment is fenoxo (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=121401), a lone guy who racks in 28K$ patreonbux monthly. He made that Corruption of the Champions text adventure. Apprently, he has private forums for patreons where they submit their stories and then he puts them in his game... So people ACTUALLY pay him to develop the game. Not even EA or Ubisoft are this goddamn crafty.

I started following this fascinating scene ever since I learned of Breeding Season (http://www.pcgamer.com/breeding-season-game-cancelled/) who were making 33 fucking thousands a month and after milking their patrons for 2 years, they just canceled the project. Much butthurt was had by all :lol::lol::lol:

Amateur western adult gamedev is the funniest fucking shit, I swear dudes

octavius, it seems like you have a problem with multitexturing in Unreal, a rendering setting that does not work right on modern graphics cards (perhaps also with brightness – can you change its levels?).

Here are screenshots of some of the same places that you posted with multitexturing off (I am using official high-resolution textures, but their tone is more or less the same):

Here's the first scene again with multitexturing turned on, note the greyish overlay and generally less intense colours of the sky:

It is best to install the Old Unreal fan-patch to get renderers that are more compatible with modern cards (to solve the brightness problem if you have it), then open advanced settings by typing preferences in the console, and turn off multitexturing under the particular renderer you are using.

When multitexturing is turned off, the only effect that does not look right is volumetric fog, but that is only used in the introductory fly-over scene and in one map in Unreal Tournament, but it seems like it is a problem that Epic themselves never bothered to solve, as some maps' thumb-nails show the same bug with the sky textures.

schru, thanks for the tips.

My game actually looks better in-game than in the screenshots. I use IrfanView for screen capping, but it seems to cap them at the default Gamma level, thus making them darker than they look in-game.

I recall there being all kinds of video and renderer settings when I last played the game 15+ years ago, but couldn't find any advanced settings this time, so I just assumed that all settings had been cranked up to max on the GOG version.
But I tried your suggestion, and it actually made a noticeable difference, making the game somewhat brighter and sharper.

I was thinking of using the HD textures, but a half-assed search didn't turn up any working link for the whole package. So I didn't bother, since the orignal textures still look damned good on higher resolutions.

You're welcome. I use IrfanView too, there's probably a function for taking screenshots with accurate gamma, but I just increase the gamma by 0.3 which seems to match how the game looks. It's just that I couldn't change brightness at all on my system without that patch.

As for the textures, they're not exactly preferable as they contain some bugs (inverted monitors, moons cut into separate parts), but in case you'd like to try them, this site has the original package and there was one for Tournament too (with some highly questionable choices): http://www.unrealtexture.com/Unreal...s/ExtremeEnd/StockUnreal/UnrealExtremeEnd.htm
The renderer you're using needs S3TC enabled for them to work.

On a side note, I think it's possible to have both the skies and volumetric fog work right with a wrapper like gdVoodoo, but only in the 16-bit mode.

The biggest problem is the main story missions turn into this arena RTS battles with taking over towers and building yours and commanding trops around the map.

Blonsky Eh, such a disappointment this game. I thought it would be some kind of an ARPG, but it was just a really short and mediocre sandboxy RTS-lite. The lore and art was brilliant tho.

Another memorable Unreal moment - the Clash of the Titans.
The Titan once rocked my world so much that I was able to enter the ledge from where the small guys leapt, but it was nothing there.

I find the graphics and environments in this game weirdly compelling.

It's like if Minecraft didn't look like a turd.

Now if only they would unfuck whatever they did last patch so I can actually play for more than 10 minutes without crashing. :negative:
