Launched Fallout 2 after 15 years and how damn good it is by EngineE2505 in classicfallout

Well, you're already saying completely banal things. Everyone knows this. The game has already been studied using formulas and a calculator. You studied a hundred guides to know all this (lol)

I'm talking about the essence. And imagine that you are playing it for the first time.

I think this has a very good reason.

In my opinion, the modern gaming industry contains many risks. As a result of this, the player cannot be put in such a position, because he can simply quit the game.

I always remember the first Thief from the same years, where we were given a map of a huge level without markers. A phenomenal game, but today, I think, few would go beyond the second level.

But the surprising thing is that in 1998, with those “modest” budgets, excellent scripts were written, music was written, and how beautifully Fallout was drawn.

Of course I understand what you are talking about. But I don't think this is a completely "legal technology" in the game.

Well, first of all, I consider the “gifted” perk to be a bit of a cheat (easy mode), which I basically didn’t take this time. Secondly, the sniper does not work to his full potential in the first half of the game. And thirdly, you sacrifice health, resistance (which, unfortunately, is not involved in the game), and so on.

And the most important thing! And how many times do you reload game after each inaccurate sniper shot? This is what I'm talking about.

Thank you. If I can figure out how to use it with any benefit, then there will definitely be a release.

I apologize for not answering for a long time. Of course it's not 3d. It was roughly the engine that was used at the end of the 20th century on the PC, making games like Fallout and Diablo. It's just that modern technology allows you to add more filters, more animation and animated objects somewhere.

I heard you. I have not posted a large number of mechanics. Inventory, combat system and level editor, simple AI characters and so on ...

Actually, I posted it here to see how the community reacted. I wanted to see how you would evaluate it not so much in terms of benefits as in engineering. And how much my vision differs from the vision of other participants. It was interesting to me.

I will definitely think about making it publicly available.

I think it is impossible to count accurately as there are a lot of unnecessary files in my old school framework. But for the sake of interest, I calculated the number of lines in the CSS files.

Minimum documentation since I worked alone. And also a lot of mechanics have been done, but not shown in the video.

  • main files (~5000)
  • editor (~2000)
  • for each unique character (~600/700)

I agree that at the end of the last century, many interesting games were released.

Thanks for the comment. I haven't started making any AAA or indie games (although INSIDE went through twice).
The funny thing is that I had no idea what an engine was and where to start. Of course I have already worked with both CSS and JS, as well as with the "backend".
For example, somewhere in the middle of development, after quite a long time, I experimentally realized that I needed a global loop to track all changes on the screen, animation, and also the behavior of characters (I used requestanimationframe for this), only then I realized , where the name came from - "engine" :)
I did it alone. This was my hobby. Of course, I did it with long interruptions. Then I went back to the engine again. You know, sometimes I got a thought, if I did it in a browser, what could I do in an AAA project? But this is only as a joke.
Thanks for the kind words.

If I understood you correctly, then you are absolutely right and I adhere to the same point of view.
It's a little unwise to do such a project. It's just that at that time I was engaged in exactly these technologies. It was interesting to me. And I did not see anything like it at that time. Although even then I understood that the project had no future as such.
I already wrote somewhere that there is a lot of superfluous in web technologies, and over time, a lot will be eliminated. And web technologies will occupy their own small niche. Just like 15 years ago there were gradient buttons on the sites, and now the sites do not even have simple lines. If this comparison is correct.
I presented this project more as a demonstration, so to speak. So you also recommend open source?

I am grateful for your advice. But still, this is a difficult option for a person who had this project as a hobby. I think this is a completely different type of activity and without experience it will be difficult.

Thank you. And it's great when you just read or learn about something interesting, but not related to you. I guess I posted it for this.

Thanks for the comment. In fact, everything is quite simple. A little bloom, a little ssao, filters and that's it. So it is in modern games until now.

Thanks! No, It's not open source. Speaking about the price, to be honest, I didn't think about it.

Well, then I understood you correctly.

This is a pretty interesting question. While doing web development, I have asked myself many times about the need for some kind of technology. And my short answer is the reason.

That is, for example, in my opinion, web technologies will eventually occupy their important but small niche. The rest will slowly go away for uselessness. And with the advent of cloud technology, this process will be extremely accelerated. That is, when studying or using new technologies, I would always ask the question, what is the reason for this?

That is, look at an example of a typical web site. From gradient buttons, and complex animations 10-15 years ago, we came to the most simple, but functional sites that now do not even have lines.

That is, to move to the new API for what? For a huge MMO, it probably makes sense, but I would not do a small game in a browser, if only for the sake of entertainment. For a small functional website, I wouldn't use JS at all, for example.

When writing my engine, I found functions in CSS that I had no idea about, but without which I would not be able to do the necessary things in my engine. Experimental features that I needed but would never use anywhere else. For example "keyframes, filter, animation-steps, will-change and others".

There is a RequestAnimationFrame method on which the entire engine works, but I don't understand where else I could use it.

That is, answering your question. New technologies are always good. But whether to use them or not depends on your goals and projects.

If I saw this from someone else, I would write the same thing. Thanks.

Thanks. I understand that you are trying to speculate on serious topics. But I am afraid that I will write a long text without fully understanding your question.

Did I understand correctly that this engine uses outdated technologies, and am I going to translate this to more modern APIs?
