Replying to @dosnostalgic

If you're unfamiliar with ZZT, it's not a roguelike, but rather an action-adventure type of thing



 Thu Jul 07 16:26:51 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

It runs "worlds" which are essentially separate games (maps & logic) in ZZT format



 Thu Jul 07 16:28:13 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

ZZT is known for its map editor and scripting language


 Thu Jul 07 16:29:34 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Because of its ease of use, ZZT has a small, but dedicated community.

CD-ROM version of KGB was retitled "Conspiracy" and had added FMV with Donald Sutherland as a hint system.


 Mon Jul 11 20:27:48 +0000 2016


CD version of Dune added FMV, speech, multiple languages, and additional pre-rendered CGI animations



 Mon Jul 11 20:38:44 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

It was released in 1993 and is considered to be one of the earlier PC FMV titles, although there are games that predate it by 2 years.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, you can play the whole game in Fremen. :D


 Mon Jul 11 20:43:22 +0000 2016


Also all the character facial animations are lipsynched to the English speech at a rather high frame rate. Pretty damn impressive.

Funny thing about a Russian game Vorona (Crow). It took 13 years & finding another version to learn who developed it

It turned out that the ONP company was a joint venture of some prominent Russian game developers of the early 90s.

But I guess something didn't work out (probably financing, as it was common in Russia at the time) and that thing never really took off.

Replying to @dosnostalgic

Version 0.2 from 02/04/93. Two months in development. Everything is very basic at this point.
 Sun Jul 31 20:27:01 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Most of the things in the demo survived all the way through. Even the controls feel smooth at this point already.
 Sun Jul 31 20:29:04 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Version 0.3 from 02/28/93. 4 weapons, automap, beginnings of proper levels, clear space base look



 Sun Jul 31 20:35:48 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

The maps seen in this version ended up in the final game. Map 8 is clearly the beginnings of E1M2, for example
 Sun Jul 31 20:45:18 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

0.3 wasn't actually discovered until last year. Tom Hall is still credited. Also I'm "quite a bad person" apparently
 Sun Jul 31 20:48:33 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Version 04. 04/02/93. New hud, more textures (animated ones as well), maps closer to final. Remnants of space base



 Sun Jul 31 20:56:33 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Version 0.5. 05/22/93. Collisions, doors, 35 fps frame rate, pickups, sector effects



 Sun Jul 31 21:08:01 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Most things seem to function well in 0.5. Still missing the enemy ai though.
 Sun Jul 31 21:16:12 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

These are found in the resources of 0.5: an intermission screen, and some kind of a weapon that didn't make it

 Sun Jul 31 21:18:16 +0000 2016


Replying to @dosnostalgic

Press beta 10/04/93. Almost the final game, but differences all over the place. Life counter, status bar, items, etc
