Questo shooter indie action si basa su un renderer software personalizzato a CPU, che richiama la tecnologia degli anni '90 evitando del tutto la scheda grafica. Gli sviluppatori l'hanno creato come sfida di programmazione per raggiungere i 60 FPS su PC moderni, offrendo un FPS puro con focus run-and-gun. Una trama essenziale passa in secondo piano rispetto ai combattimenti incessanti, violenti e intrisi di gore.
Visuali oniriche definiscono i design dei livelli cupi, catturando atmosfere surreali con geometrie e illuminazione curate. I fan degli shooter di inizio anni '90 troveranno una fedele ricostruzione che privilegia il gameplay crudo alla complessità. Provatelo su PC per testare di persona questo audace esperimento di engine.
First and foremost, this game is an experiment in coding a software renderer. It's an engine that renders the image via CPU, without involving the graphics adapter, much like the 90's games did. I wanted to find out if it's possible to code an engine like that from scratch nowadays, and if it can run at 60 FPS on a modern PC. It was a self-imposed challenge.
Once I finished the engine, I thought I could make a game with it, an FPS like the early shooters from the 90's. I have to say I was quite impressed with them back in the day, and I've been looking to recreate them for a long time. Thus, this game is a 90's FPS. A simplistic story takes a backseat to pure run-and-gun gameplay.
On graphics and visuals: I was creating the visuals based on the imagery from my dreams. I tried to convey the mood and atmosphere of my dreams through level design. I feel like I did a particularly good job on this aspect.
I'd be happy to hear some feedback from you on my humble little game!
