Game News The Beauty of Black and Gold

arrow keys are so inefficient. WASD for the win, baby.

Arrow keys are superior when you're playing consoltard arcade games (because they often don't come with a control scheme suitable for mouse at all), so DraQ is trying tell us something, I guess.

He's saying that he's left-handed, numbnuts.

I used arrow keys when I was younger, when I still thought the concept of using letters instead of the obvious arrows as movement keys is silly.
Well, I grew up with DOS platformers like Commander Keen, Hocus Pocus etc, so I was used to arrow keys and only with Battlefield 1942 I started using WASD because the arrow keys were used for planes.

Having used both arrow keys and WASD for shooters, I can now say that WASD is clearly superior for anything first person.

It's never really been used in videogames.

Actually, it took him six months to get it just right in mspaint.

Can't remember about DE2:IW but in the first game you were totally able to change the color palette of the UI and the way I see it black/blue has a way more cyberpunk feeling to it whereas black/gold feels more steampunk. Moreover black/gold palette has a huge contrast to it for a game that has stealth as one of its main aspects. A darker palette (such as black/gray/blue/whatever) would give the atmosphere of varying degrees of shadow and thus contribute to the stealth gameplay and set a mood similar to the previous games but the only purpose a black/gold palette could serve in such a game would be to emphasize on bloom and XPLOSHIONS!!!

I kinda miss my old amber monitor and 286. Gave text-based games a certain warmth.

Actually, he just finished making his game called Corridorexit and is now butthurt that Deus Ex stole his colour scheme.

It is not rare in the world, but I can't remember having played a game with that scheme.

I do.

Holy shit, this is beautiful. Amiga RPG you say? Gotta get me an emulator..

WinUAE, but I believe you still need a Kickstart ROM with it, v1.3 - which either costs money from Amiga Forever (legit AFAIK), get it from a real Amiga, or well, you know...

Then again, the graphics artist of the game seems to have put it up on his own blog for download, ready to go with all the files needed.

 

[Jasede]

Shame the game sucks. Still, a good effort for being made by 3 people. At least it was actually released.
