Weirdly though, I rarely actually play games nowadays. So "appreciator" is more appropriate for me than gamer/player.

I'm sure they used at least some of the technology in their subsequent project, but the engine itself is too primitive

It's almost gonna be like that but for completely different reasons. You'll be laughing when you'll realize all the limitations.

 Sat Oct 04 16:35:20 +0000 2014

The game is basically a Wolfenstein-like grid of walls. You can make half walls. Everything else is a 3D model. That's it.

 Sat Oct 04 16:39:12 +0000 2014

3D models, IIRC. You can also slide sections by writing scripts that are just text files.

 Sat Oct 04 17:05:38 +0000 2014

So yeah, essentially the game is really Wolfenstein 3D with models, not even DOOM!

That's why I like Smith. He wrote that script before Clerks! His best films touch on subjects that aren't really common in movies.

Also it's the elements. Smith's religious upbringing = believable mythology. Add a bit of being a disappointed young man & bam!

@AveTory Director's Cut of Nightbreed is actually an improvement. Much better flow.

 Fri Oct 17 20:45:40 +0000 2014

Finished director's cut of Nightbreed. This version actually improved a bunch. It's still a flawed, but now a slightly better movie.

 Fri Oct 17 20:48:06 +0000 2014

It's not the "Cabal" cut they were touring before. That one was from two vhs tapes. This is a properly restored new version.

 Fri Oct 17 21:03:07 +0000 2014

It's two hours long, not two & a half. And a bunch of other stuff is changed.

 Fri Oct 17 21:04:02 +0000 2014

I mean, it's still not perfect, but idk, it feels more complete in a way, which makes it more enjoyable.
