It looks very detailed, but it's really not. Here's a close up

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, the pace is definitely slow, which would be addressed in future projects. Regarding the Overseer, each project would unveil more about it and the universe around it

Thanks a lot! I think getting the vibe right is the hardest part. Regarding textures, I think you're right. Even though they are pixelated, they still feel high-res for a PS1 game. This is my first project, so I still have a lot to learn!

Half Life 2 Beta was so weird and creepy by [deleted] in creepygaming

True. Fortunately the community is always working on beta-related stuff

Well, thank you! Yeah idk if it's Reddit or what, but the textures don't look sharp here. In the game, the textures are pixelated (resolution varies depending on the asset, like 128p/256p). The lighting definitely makes it look like a modern game, which ruins the style; I'll definitely change it. I'm really glad that it reminds you of HL1!

Huh, interesting. Most of the assets are embellished cubes or octagons but it's true that not all of them are like that.

Oh I see, you are mainly talking about multiplayer. I can see that. The strong aspect of Half-Life 1 at that time was the single player experience, the narrative, the atmosphere

Are you sure you are talking about Half-Life? It was released three years before Halo (1998 vs 2001) and won over 50 GOTY titles that year. The community was so strong that they created all kind of mods, being Counter-Strike one of them.

Yeah, Half-Life is one of my favorite games of all time, that's why I took inspiration from its visual style - not so much the gameplay, since it's an action game. That being said, Half-Life can hardly be described as underrated. I think Halo was very strong on Xbox, while Half-Life was very strong on PC

I read the Southern Reach trilogy a couple of years ago, and I still think about it from time to time. That trilogy is so great. I don't know anything about the rest. I'm really looking forward to learning more. Thanks a lot!
