Wow, the referenced Ecstatica game is wild.
- pjs_ 3y agoEcstatica II was an extraordinary game - funny, weird, violent, amazing sound, and super atmospheric.
- pavlov 3y agoFor a second I thought it's a really well done fake. The art style looked so obviously beyond 1994 software rendering. But then you start to notice that the backgrounds are all static 3D renderings and there are very few objects in motion after all, so it's certainly feasible on a 486. Maybe you could say it's basically a 3D version of Alone in the Dark using ellipsoids instead of polygons as the primitive. The quality of the animation is unusually good for the time, which is really what creates the coherent illusion. Wikipedia says the game had just one developer paired with a "film animation expert", which makes a lot of sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstatica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstatica I'm shocked I've never heard of this game until now.
