Seeing how much colored / dynamic lighting there is in this thing and knowing how GZDoom mods with half as much colored / dynamic lighting run on average, you can stay tuned for some tasty 35 fps gameplay in this, unless you have a beast of a single-core-performance CPU, because GZDoom STILL runs on one core, because FUCK YOU.

Was checking a 2023 calendar featuring current indie FPS characters and found a pinup of Dawn. Sharing is caring I guess.

So far all I've gathered from reading back this thread is that the dev is an insecure bitch who registered to the Codex strictly to tell everyone how much they don't care about the Codex.

We made plenty of engines tweaks to make it render lights more efficiently among other things.

For starters, unlike vanilla GZDoom, we can be selective on what lights are going to cast shadows or not, as well as a setting to reduce the amount of lights you see.

We're not a stock GZDoom game.

Let me put it this way - have you tried running the game, set to look like it does in trailers and GMan's preview, on the CPU you've listed under "recommended specs" on Steam, and if yes, is that CPU able to hold 60 fps in typical gameplay?

lol @ pinup calendar with boomer shooter material.

You'd be surprised to know that the alphabet soup crowd is the majority of the audience playing boomer shooters. Primarily Doom from the really old ones, but all the modern-day "revival" type of shooters... Go on the discord of any of those, or on any randomly chosen ZDoom project discord, and click through the user list. Everyone has about half a dozen pronouns.

If those people existed in the 90's they'd be crying about E3 booth babes and the toxic masculinity of it all.

I think the anatomy for the left leg (the obscured one) from the knee and below is a bit off.

I think it's okay perspective wise (if you could see behind the right knee the calf and foot would be foreshortened a bit), the problem is that the gun is misleading. The angle the left thigh is at, the gun at the angle the gun's at would be clipping through the left thigh.

Her left knee is much thicker than the right knee and the calf is a bit too thick and short, even if we consider that one is stretched and the other isn't. I do not think it is a matter of perspective because her other features are pretty much the same size in both sides (e.g. both her thighs have same thickness).

The left knee would be thicker if it's more facing towards the viewer (if you imagine it as almost over the right knee - quick and dirty search of something roughly similar from the opposite side here). However, there is a problem with the left knee in that the skin fold behind the knee is horizontal, where it should really be vertical (and it really wouldn't be a fold but more like a shadow artifact).

It's not that expert a drawing, but it's not all that bad either. As I said, I think the position and angle of the gun is the most misleading thing and the thing that's most wrong about it. A gun at that position would literally have to go through the left thigh.

(What a ridiculously Codexian argument about nothing lol :) )

Link the calender my guy.

I guess that's the one:

Might be a little bit disappointing though:
calendar featuring SFW pinup art :decline:

On the other hand:

This is in style of William Blake down to his thing for tight male butts (which was totally heterosexual aesthetic appreciation in his case, much like with Kojima's fascination with that part of male anatomy!)

Unreal gave the game his seal of approval.


Jokes aside, going by how the next map in that preview build he played only had basic geometry done it is seems that the full release might still be p far off.
