Spike had a love interest in the cartoons as well. I believe her name was Carlie and the two of them had a son named Daniel. So a relationship element to the story in an attempt to appeal to a human audience that can relate isn't really stretching anything. Firewheel, checkout the origional Transfor...

Which is why artists think outside the box. Yes, by all realistic accounts, all internal mechanisms would be hidden behind the dash. What you're left with is a very flat, and very boring console. If thats what Parallax intended, thats fine. When I modified the Key, Energy/AB, Shield & Lives/Scor...

The demo was cool, although too short. I've heard good things and heard really bad things. If you like games along the same lines as Oblivion (just, really dumbed down) then you might like it.

Yes, it uses the source engine, and still has that god awful Halflife inertial slide either :P

Staying true to the origional is generally describing that the look and feel should still be of D2 and not something completely different. For example making the weapon models or powerups look like something other then what they were. The point is to update D2, make it look more modern, not to make ...

Working Draft for new mini-HUD view...

Got bored and decided to start making a Hi-Res version of the D2 mini-HUD. It's in fairly early stages, sort of. Still want to add a few bells and whistles to it, not to mention making compatible key images to go with it. I tried staying true to the scheme (colors, look, etc) but it just needed to b...

Anything in the single digits with regards to response time is groovy. Probably want the 4ms :)

From what I've seen of Descent on widescreen LCDs is it doesn't like them. However, some others here have maybe found a way around having to run it in window mode or other alternate viewing methods.
