Thu Aug 01 16:16:32 +0000 2024Well, got some terrible news today, so now it's time to have a drink and revisit a movie that I liked as a kid that may or may not turn out to be terrible.

It's a Stuart Gordon movie too.

The movie has its share of character actors, but man, Jeffrey Combs basically does nothing for like most of the film and then he's suddenly let loose & it's glorious.

The gameplay operates in three dimensions. You can fall down from a wall, but you can't step back on it. Each object has a high set, and the game checks for floor & ceilings to match, and that allows you to go over/under projectiles & such. That's good enough for me.
Tue Aug 20 14:40:30 +0000 2024Replying to @Monquit3st
The fact that the map is technically 2 dimensional & objects are sprites doesn't concern me. One could *not* properly play Doom if it was in the overhead perspective. I could just as easily argue that because each game ends up as a flat projection on a monitor, every game is 2D.
Tue Aug 20 14:42:50 +0000 2024Replying to @lsthart
Most of those new games are made using modern general purpose 3D engines, so they wouldn't be as optimized as old tech that was literally made to do only one thing on a very particular set of hardware.

But, I mean, isn't it obvious? If an imp fireball can be moving in three dimensions, but the player can dodge over or under it, how would that be achieved without Z axis calculation?

Apparently save games don't save the randomized table of Icon of Sin's spawn cube landing coordinates, so saving a game with one in the air, then exiting & re-launching the game, and loading that save will result in memory corruption, and the game crashing.
Sat Aug 24 23:48:31 +0000 2024Replying to @dosnostalgic
Now, this only happens if you exit the game before loading that save. If you've made it to map 30, saved, and just keep reloading without exiting, then everything works fine.
