There are a few too little gaps for the imagination to fill out to work like 8-directional sprites do.

They are using 16-directional sprites afaik and IMO that reaches a level of 3D-detail where you might as well just use full 3D animated models to begin with. * Not sure if I like this look myself, but it sure looks intriguing. There are lots of styles that I don't enjoy, no matter how well done they are (e.g. Graphical style is something you can enjoy or - like you in this case - not.īut don't confuse your subjective taste with objective quality. There is no doubt Prodeus devs are going for the highest graphical quality they can achieve, most devs generally do. It is rather objective and has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the amount of pixels or vertices on display. The interesting thing about this one, is that I did ask on Steam back in November last year about Linux support and they said it would be for Windows. Graphical quality is high if the art style is well-executed and consistent - 'everything fits together'. Seriously loving this revival of retro-looking first-person shooters coming out lately, with Prodeus being another that's now on Kickstarter and it does look very impressive. I was just pointing you to the correct location. You also strongly confuse graphical style with graphical quality. Meta files should be present out of the box and I don’t have the solution for that. Just like there are still black-and-white movies being made - a conscious decision of style for various reasons, not necessarily to look like 'back then'. Nowadays, a look like that is very often a conscious decision, and those kinds of decision generally lead to the best results.

I'm very sure the devs of those days wanted to give the highest graphic quality they could achieve with the few technical resources they had.You are right about why the games looked that way back then, but you completely ignore the fact that now these looks are 'rediscovered' not as a technical fact or limitation or excuse, but as a style of choice or - like in this case - something to experiment with to achieve interesting results (*). Mike Voelle and Jason Mojica have launched a Kickstarter campaign for their old-school first-person retro shooter that will be using modern rendering techniques, Prodeus. In those days, the games looked pixelated because of the technical limitations of that era (like low res images and 256 colours) and not because the developers wanted to do that. Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI am really tired of these 'retro' look games.
