    Amazon released a game engine

    Pining for the fjords ?!? Look, I took the liberty of checking that website, and the only reason it was still up was because it had been NAILED there! (Great to hear from you Howard and great to hear you guys are still alive and well. I'll still be rooting for you all! :))

    Amazon released a game engine

    My concern would be it has all been done before, many times over, by people with a lot more money and ability then anything I could ever hope to achieve. We are already getting that with Star Citizen. However there isn't a single HD sprite based space sim (Wings of St Nazire aside which looks...

    Amazon released a game engine

    Worked well for the Star Control II remake, (forget the 3d models, a proper 2D artist can do so much more for 2d sprites) That is all Daemon Czanic's work, he posted here not too long ago with a bit of wing commander concept art...

    Prophecy Hi-resolution NO black bars? Possible?

    Sorry, all the game assets are still 4:3 and setting the resolution doesn't change that. Some people prefer black bars rather then horizontal stretching (what good is a hires image if it's distorted like a fun house mirror?). AFIK you need the OpenGl renderer for the enhanced DVD movies to...

    Amazon released a game engine

    I don't know, the physics simulations are rather cpu intensive. I have a 6 year old intel core i7 duo. I wouldn't say it runs all that fantastically, especially when there are a lot of parts floating around. Of course this is Unity4.

    Amazon released a game engine

    Results I have seen from Unity 5 are much better. Take a look at Cities Skylines. Kerbal Space Program too is getting a major update to the new engine in the near future, It will be nice to see how much performance is improved. Apparently it must be fast enough for them to be working on a...

    Amazon released a game engine

    Are they expecting the next starcraft to be made on their engine and use their services? Seems kind of far fetched. The truth is, there is just too much competition these days (not the least star craft 2).

    Amazon released a game engine

    It is completely amazing that they did this but I'm a little confused as to why? It looks to me like Amazon is taking on a lot more overhead for no direct benefit, or indirect as far as I know. If they want to be another steam, they don't need to have their own game engine to do that. Or is...

    Help with SWC on imac G3 "Bondi" , usb joystick support? Speed for SWC?

    Hey! I have no idea about the thrustmaster, I'm sorry :( You probably tried this already but just in case, to get it to slow down you can try increasing the screen size to large (cmd-3 or in the menubar) .

    I'm all for the prequels needing to stay extinct :)

    Please suggest a Mac powerbook or Mac laptop to run SWC

    Ah, you may be right, Now that you mention it, I do remember SWC running a little fast on my G3, but my memories could be clouded by my experience on classic mode with the G5 computer, which it really did run fast...and had other problems. It did run fine our on the old performa, but...

    Please suggest a Mac powerbook or Mac laptop to run SWC

    Out of curiosity why 8.1?

    Please suggest a Mac powerbook or Mac laptop to run SWC

    OS depends on the model of mac you end up with, but if it's later 90's then OS9 is the way to go. I really don't know much about powerbooks from back in the day, except that the ones we used at elementary school were black and white screens, terribly slow and had the stupidest trackball you...

    Super Wing Commander played with the 3DO Flightstick Pro (video)

    Haha ah shockwave, such fond memories. I had the mac port of 1 (which included beyond the gate) and 2 (I guess they ported a lot of 3do games to early macs) The acting was wonderfully bad. It was fun game. SW2 I never could beat..

    KOTOR 2 got an update

    You absolutely have to play it with the TSLRM mod enabled, It's not so much a mod, but huge community patch to fix the game's glaring problems in bugs and story. To play without it is to do yourself and the game a huge disservice. Pacing of the game is so much better throughout. It's most...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars movie thread... [Don't read this thread if you haven't seen the movie yet]

    While I agree with your sentiment completely. It is awful nice when you do get both. This is why great games like XWA, FS2 and Prophecy getting a loving community face-lift is all right by me :)

    New Privateer 2 Patch Adds Deinterlace Feature & Makes Numerous Improvements (October 1, 2013)

    Another note for people using CoolMidiSynth, I highly recommend Timbres of Heaven Soundfont. It is easily among the best sound fonts out there while still being small enough to load into ram quickly. On that note, I'm pretty sure CoolSynth has the option to load the whole font into ram all...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars movie thread... [Don't read this thread if you haven't seen the movie yet]

    Yah know what? Yes the movie had flaws, a lot of them probably. So does the originals. (Forget the Frankenstein monster that are the GL special editions) At the end of the day, I'm just happy to get a watchable, enjoyable movie labeled starwars after what? 27 years? You know, that's actually...
