Discovered this FPS gem from 2007 made by a solo gamedev from Uruguay, impressive: medium.com/@dominictaraso… #gamedev

Good news it works on win10. But for some reason on my native resolution it crops part of the screen. On 4:3 seems it doesn't crop. Oh & I had to start the game a few times to test it, which was super annoying cuz it has the first sin of video games, an UNSKIPPABLE INTRO!!

Everything in this game uses like deltatime lerping:
> current = lerp(current, target, dt);
from menu highlights to mouselook, lol. It's painful.

Ok, you can lower smoothing in the menu, but there's still a little bit even at 0.

These guys totally freaked me out, but they seem friendly. Not sure what they're doing, it's unsettling.

Gotta love these overengineered menus. This game certainly has some good nostalgic style. The sounds from outside freeze when looking at the inventory tho.

Some of these guys get stuck on tiny surfaces and get into an infinite spinning loop, haha. Actually impressive this works.

Mmmmmmm what a satisfying texture

This game actually has some pretty decent music. Sets the mood perfectly.

LIES!!!

This game has proper CD-ROM simulation! 10/10

Man, at some moments the game really looks good

Oh man, now I'm seriously impressed. I got my first enemy encounter, and when I shoot this bipedal robot it turned into a ragdoll but it kept on attacking me. And even tho it appears dead, getting in contact with those sabers can still damage you. That was a pretty scary moment.

Seems those roomba droids now attack me as well, since I fixed the generator! Uh, wish I knew that and killed them all before they turned all evil.

Ok, that's it for today. Hopefully, I'll continue over the weekend. The game is promising so far!
