We live in a time where people feel like the best is behind us, I refuse to believe that. I am building something from the ground up, I am dreaming of something that will outlast me. I will not allow the devils a single inch of ground.

Book 27 Games is just getting started.

Working on something. Any guesses?

@ImLocalStranger That’s assuming I even include settings. One size fits most.

[Daniel's making a game : ASSIAH @DannyMacFinn]

Been playing around with adding normal maps for more detail but I'm not even sure it's noticeable enough to matter.

Thoughts?

Bold of them to assume the disposable income of retired people will remain high for very long. At the rate our economy is going no one is going to have disposable income.

While I am your above average older gamer, I agree that there is a large untapped market here.

@Phantasmerie Why not both?

@CaptainMarooner Biggest vial of T-Virus ever developed. The following zombie outbreak lasted for over 10,000 years.

@MelvinDanes1 Not a bad idea!

@Destiny2Team Titans get to play dodgeball. Hell yeah!

@NoQuarterSoft It's called ASSIAH: Genesis Offensive.
I don't have a steam page (yet) but I've got a website with some more info on it.

@HaloBoxStudios Dying breed. 100%. I blame the loss of the party game vibe MP used to have. But I'm probably just an old-head or whatever it's called these days. Unc?

@mothman_47 When dynamic lights are involved it adds a lot of depth to each surface. But I'm not 100% sold on the effect on every asset. So far I've been selectively applying normal maps to key set dressing (crates, sandbags, etc) and using a tileable basic normal map on everything else.

Certs are fun to chase down, the new haunting feeling on the map is 10/10 atmosphere. The cradle is a nice QoL addition also. I’m looking forward to exploring that system more.

Marathon S2 feels measurably better than S1. The increase in blue tier loot and the Duos playlist make a massive difference. Night DM is also an incredible map, far more fun to play than daytime DM. @MarathonTheGame @MarathonDevTeam

@SkunkDev Funnily enough, the AO is the most out of the box piece of the visuals. Haven't done much tweaking on it.

[Daniel's making a game : ASSIAH @DannyMacFinn]

This is a fun thought experiment. What do you think? At a glance can you instantly tell what engine this is?

[Bertan Orgun @orgunbertan]

As a game dev, there’s something so satisfying about guessing the game engine instantly just by looking at the lighting and overall rendering.

[Daniel's making a game : ASSIAH @DannyMacFinn]

@SkunkDev Out of curiosity, what are the telltale engine visuals in these images? I'd like to create as much disparity between my games visuals and the engines defaults as much as possible (within reason).

@sean_gause Very nice. Not super familiar with the work flow there so it's interesting to hear how others address stuff.

[Daniel's making a game : ASSIAH @DannyMacFinn]

@sean_gause Sounds like a real headache. Is there a benefit to doing this?
