lol, you really think Grimrock 1 was optimized better? I don't think you've tried rendering the same scene in both games. Grimrock 1 didn't even have working occlusion for light sources other than torches...gh0stwizard wrote:[*]Not well optimized? Ok.
Yes, I understand this. Where is a plot? Where is a logic? It was really hard to kill the [last] boss in LoG 1. And there was everything clearly. But here, in LoG 2, how this can be happened? Just, WTF going on.THOM wrote:Not invincible. But a hard opponent. It's a kind of a puzzle to find a device against this.
The problem of LoG 2 is real time rendering of whole world. A huge map with lot's of trees, mobs, and buildings. Actually, it is not a problem of optimization, because main problem is developer's choice. But, for LoG 1 such decision was more-less good, because there are no hundreds of trees and hundrends of shadows in real time for them.minmay wrote:lol, you really think Grimrock 1 was optimized better?

What logic would allow a creature made of air to be injured by conventional weapons? (...even really sharp ones.) It's not something they are equipped to handle (until they are); they are supposed to avoid it if it's too tough.gh0stwizard wrote:Yes, I understand this. Where is a plot?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but of mapping, it is easy to make simple maps, be it ten or an hundred. The trees are optional.And due the fact that LoG was created not by Bethesda/Bioware/etc I accept this decision. Meantime, instead of creating 3 large maps there is a way to create 10 maps with less level of details.
My magician have 5 points in air magic skill, 3 points in concentration. I am dealing a green damage (idk what it is), and I've dealt around 1k+ dmg and still this creature is alive. This is just a mob, and not a boss, like was in LoG 1 where you have to find some special weapon to kill it. Implementing of such mobs is just overkill, the game is already a hardcore. There is no logic. I've found a scroll with dispell smth, special spell for elementals. But I do not want to waste skill points in Water magic (correct me if I am wrong).Isaac wrote:What logic would allow a creature made of air to be injured by conventional weapons?

Better to create 10-20 small maps. Because a player only see 10% of all trees at the time. No, currently this looks very cool, but what a point if the game is not running smoothly? Let's close this question, there is a special thread about optimizations.Isaac wrote:I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but of mapping, it is easy to make simple maps, be it ten or an hundred.
