What If Gloomwood Was Made In The 90s?

[@EphiTV]

The original concept for this was, "How much can I take out of Gloomwood without breaking it?", but things just kind of evolved from there. Anyways, as promised, here's the links I mentioned in the video. Ad Infernum: store.steampowered.com/app/1390070/Ad_Infernum/ EphiTV Discord: discord.gg/s4en6wAcC9 And of course, if you haven't already checked it out, Gloomwood: store.steampowered.com/app/1150760/Gloomwood/

That hurt my brain and soul to see that people are actually complaining about the visuals of Gloomwood. It's a homage to the classics while also constraining the fidelity to make it manageable for the devs to complete.

and it also looks beautiful?? the environments are a TREAT not to mention the weapon and enemy designs and animations

Finally, my fridge can run this game in our year of the Lord, 1994.

[@Matt-md5yt]

That's my birth year 🤣

Lol, we'll just ignore that

I do enjoy learning how old art was made.

[@darkentity1000]

subbed brother, I love these kinda games, excited to see what you're working on!

[@Rubbly]

Classic EphiTV, he never misses! It's neat to hear all the workarounds you implemented!

[@2HeadedHero]

This is so fun! Love looking at potato graphics patches and this is a really good example

Every damn video of Ephi, makes me feel like i went out to a bar with a fellow student but he thinks its a date.

[@EphiTV]

Talking to someone for 10 minutes straight with no response would be a pretty bad date.

[@Doctor_Pazuzu]

Gloomwood N64 port looking great.

[@Rubbly]

Can't wait for your next series of videos on electric toothbrush subscription services!!

[@EphiTV]

I better be getting a million dollars for that brand deal

[@HarrisonSolie]

i dunno aNYTHING about code at all, but i like watching you go through it and explain what it does. my brain goes "hmmm yes, it all makes sense now, i understand" even though i definitely don't understand

[@EphiTV]

Lol I try to explain the general idea of what I'm going for without getting too deep in to it. I definitely don't expect everyone to understand all of it.

[@tylerfortniteninjablevins1457]

gloomwood would look cool in a hyperrealistic style

[@Matt-md5yt]

Gloomwood video again? Sweet

[@EphiTV]

Been a while since I played and the game has gone through a lot of changes in Early Access since then. Figured it was a good time to take another look.

[@mixmaster112]

cant wait for ur game, looks like fun

[@EphiTV]

Thanks! Hopefully not much longer now.

What hoodie are you wearing? looks great! 😁

[@EphiTV]

It's a small brand called sp-ce started by an illustrator. There's a couple things on google with a similar name, but this is their actual site: www.sp-ce.shop

[@vapourboi2767]

excellent @@EphiTV keep up the quality work with the videos man they are great content

[@DUKEHadToDoItToEm]

Can't believe that people complain about the base graphics for this game. Tbh your bare bones version is more aesthetically pleasing as someone who grew up with 90s games than the base game

[@matt92hun]

Some interesting thing about Unity is that you can make a game look worse than, say, Far Cry, but it will somehow still run worse than FC would on the same, contemporary computer.

[@EphiTV]

Old games had to be super optimized for PCs at the time. Nowadays we can get away with more, but graphics are only one piece. Gloomwood has some pretty complex systems (like the AI) that wouldn't be possible on old machines.

[@matt92hun]

@@EphiTV It's not just Gloomwood. I bought up Far Cry as an example, because I remember that Strafe and Project Warlock ran really badly on my old computer that was perfectly capable of running some of the best games of the mid 2000s.
