'nother demo.

I also figured I can use a lot of what I learn from working with this on The Crawl, being able to add real lighting would be nice, but voxel shadows aren't currently supported.

E is Use, just so you know as there are two doors, but they will be connected to switches in the future.

More playing around with lights in this one, plus a few more areas to explore.

I'm sure some of you will be happy to hear I'll be ditching the tree wall.

So beautiful! The framerate drops slightly in the library, which doesn't bother me but it might be annoying for people on lower-end systems where I'd imagine the effect to be more drastic (I'm running on an i5 760).

Also for the doors I had to be careful because the key kept repeating and the door would stay in its original state half the time (holding the key would just make it vibrate back and forth really fast). I'm sure you'll polish the actions out but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this

Yes, I don't think the use action has a delay to it.

On my netbook I have to run 320x200 for a stable speed. Shadows is the main culprit to the slow downs, I might have them toggle-able, but its also a drastic visual change.

Has a very Quake-like feel to it.

Moving around is awkward. :|

When are you going to fix the camera? :D

Still not liking the red/blue floor textures at the beginning. :(

I've managed to get on the edge of the world, but that's pretty easy in this demo. :)

Well I guess my next task will be working with the camera controls, HUD and working with the weapon and shield models.

I quickly misread your title as "mother demo." Which made me think of this. Which made me think of a game called Mother where you drive a motorcycle on the desert highway as Danzig, shotgun in hand, shooting/mowing down zombies and demons and other baddies while listening to Mother and other classics. Then I realized how awesome that game would actually be.

Then I realized I probably do have ADHD.

Ooh, and when you run out of ammo you just punch them in the face. And when you run out of fuel you just run on the highway.

Holy shit this game would actually be wicked fucking badass.

I fixed the camera issue by simply changing the number 5 to 10 in a formula, funny that.

Fantastic work. Reduce the camera bob though, makes me feel queezy.
