i agree. Windows does not harm your PC. its official by Microsoft. it could be something else. Prob Chrome which can detect if its a virus which is malware.
This game makes a very good first impression on me, similar to maybe Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 back in the day or D/generation. Mostly the artwork looks good and works well with the music, though maybe it is fair to say that it doesn't always look as if polished to perfection like in a lot of A+++ commercial games but often you could call it close. The weird distance blur with the raytracing definitively gives it this unique retro experience, albeit looks somewhat grainy and sometimes off, but not in a bad way.
Back in the day this would have been quite a success. But by nowadays standards it is extremely basic in design, not enough to grab attention for long. For today's games to stand out, you need to introduce novelties (e.g. swarm-intelligent enemies), complexity (e.g. building, crafting, inventory, gear-modding, skill system or interactibles like NPCs, computer terminals, etc) and/or intriguing and immersive storyline (I only played the first level). Implementing this obviously takes work and without a modern game engine like Unity or Godot, the overhead to do everything from scratch without any tools becomes so huge, it is sort of impossible to get very far. So I understand on the one hand that this is out of the scope of this game and it is just a simple neat and unique looking FPS. On the other hand though, since the game is very nice from the visuals and sound, it makes such a good first impression. It is kind of a shame that it won't be much more than that.
The fact that it runs without a FPU on only 32KB RAM with no dependencies, well this is not meaningful at all to the player experience, unless it maybe concerns some ultra-niche audience. It is kind of like Amish people refusing to use power tools and modern medicine, it is sort of just besides the point of life / gaming to do this. I don't know what it meant to you, maybe it was more fun to code like that. But for the consumer it has no relevance, so I totally ignore that in my review. Also I briefly flew over some of what you wrote about free software, without reading through it. That's partially how I came up with the Amish people comparison. I think it is something to really think about when writing software. Because if you quit following the revolution, you just get outpaced and overtaken by what life and human existence / software is really all about. And before you know it, society starts looking at you like an endangered animal species in a zoo, that cannot really serve a useful function anymore in its once natural eco system because the way it functions is just too primitive and unevolved, but somehow still worth to keep in memory if looking down on it from above. Don't write software to become an oddball exhibit. Follow the revolution, use the Godot engine. There are downsides to everything, but staying on the overall upside must be top priority.
hi, thanks for the review :) The comparison with AAA games is correct.
As for the second part, I think you completely misunderstand my point because you're too indoctrinated by the system, not sure if your brain can comprehend what good technology and selfless behavior means at this point, for you it's probably better to go and consume the latest GPUs and AAA games instead of playing this game. I don't aim for success, I don't aim to satisfy consumers, maximize download count or create anything that should be consumed, I don't take part in any revolutions -- I've never never been fan of guilottines and stuff -- and about Godot, I just don't like retarded technology that makes the world worse and enslaves people. Also for the love of god don't give me advice on how I should write my software please.
What the fuck you are talking about, why do people like you have to track down small projects and say nonsense to confuse small developers? Could you please go back to doing something useful with your time rather than declaring a status quo that only applies in your head?
Cool game! Even though I don’t agree with everything, I loved reading through the readme. Also, thank you for contributing to OpenMW! Morrowind is one of my favorite games.
Thanks, yes, I upscaled them from the original tiny sprites by firstly using an automatic pixel art scaling algorithm and then manually fine tuning them, which of course took most time, a lot longer than I expected.

Does it support 3rd person view?
Why does it say "Malware OS Detected" on the top of the main screen?
You're probably playing on a harmful operating system such as Windows.
What is playing on windows harming?
i agree. Windows does not harm your PC. its official by Microsoft. it could be something else. Prob Chrome which can detect if its a virus which is malware.
and it could be linux
drummyfish just wanted to say that MS Windows is malware.

Yeah the game is rough but what you expect
public demonstrations of expressionless forms
the favor given arises thoughtful insticts
polygonal atmospheric dithers follows agreeable patterns
weary the completion escapes after frustration and concedes
formality, a thankful reproach flows towards intellectual divide

I cannot install it with the Itchio App.

Honestly, i LOVE this game!
The new high res version is looking great! Are the sprites hand drawn?
Thanks, yes, I upscaled them from the original tiny sprites by firstly using an automatic pixel art scaling algorithm and then manually fine tuning them, which of course took most time, a lot longer than I expected.
Fuck yeah let's goo !!!!!!!!
