Living in Waterloo now. I was walking home from work with my friend when we met a guy flying a drone. After briefly talking, my friend mentioned that he was a developer #2 on Unreal back in the day. Must have been Schmalz! Crazy to think you just meet your heroes like that...
When I was 15 when my brother got me a disc of pirated games. On it was an Unreal directory which contained a tech demo of sorts. a castle with marble walls and eyeballs you could place with the mouse. Even then the realtime 3d rendering was really solid. I wonder how far along development was at that point and how this demo was leaked to BBS' at the time. Do you have any information on that?
Out of everything, I remember the music the most. Unreal's music has always been fantastic. Deus Ex, too! Thanks!
