Project Malice
https://aplovestudio.itch.io/maliceProject Malice is an isometric third person shooter roguelike about a ruined Earth, and those who are unfortunate enough to dwell on it. What started off as just an uncontrollable outbreak of infection transformed into something far much worse.
-
@Dr-Flay , both seem to be funny, what bothers me a bit is that, both with very rudimentary graphics, especially Malice, require a minimum of 8Gb RAM. Either Epic and Steam overdo the specs, or these games are poorly optimized.
Well come on, even the Tomb Raider and others that I have requires less than 4Gb to work with >50 FPS, with THESE graphics -
@Catweazle That's some really photo-realistic graphics, wow!
especially Malice, require a minimum of 8Gb RAM
I love the Steam requirements notes for this one:
RECOMMENDED: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows XP Processor: the meat grinder Graphics: cave painting Sound Card: saxophone Additional Notes: C# F G A# B
Additional Notes: if you have a computer that isn't 10 years old you'll be fine
For Sable, yes unfortunately, it's a very interesting art style, but unfortunately also badly optimised, because of a small inexperienced development team. It ran OK on my system but major framedrops at times.
Ghost Of A Tale was posted earlier - I absolutely loved this game, and it shows what a great engine Unity can be in the hands of a single developer who knows how to optimise the engine. Beautiful detailed graphics and runs very smooth on my oldish system.
-
@Pathduck , yes, i tried it too, but certainly it is necessary to use a controller, although it works with keyboard and mouse, it is quite bad playable with this.
But yes, a game, even with minimal requirements, if it is well optimized, can have impressive graphics. The 2013 Tomb Raider is one of many examples of what can be achieved, if there are some good programmers. All the games I have have graphics similar to Tomb Raider and none of them require more than 4 Gb RAM or even less, as well as the Redneck Immortal that I downloaded recently in a Giveaway has more than drinkable graphics due to its few requirements that have. Also the OpenSource Game, The Dark Mod, despite being graphically up-to-date, has quite modest requirements. -
@Catweazle I basically meant that the image posted above is clearly from the movie - not the game
With the very nice Swedish actress Alicia Vikander
I love The Dark Mod - have it installed always. Not played for a while, but maybe I'll play it again. I have setup custom configs in Steam to play with a controller.
Amazing what they are able to do with that old iD-Tech engine

@Pathduck , take a look
Full walkthrough without comments
https://youtu.be/_eRbO8D5ka0It certainly seems a movie, I know, I've played it (very hardcore game and way better than the movie)
MINIMUM:
OS:Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista,7,8 (32bit/64bit)
Processor:Dual core CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 2.1 Ghz (4050+), Intel Core2 Duo 1.86 Ghz (E6300)
Memory:1GB Memory (2GB on Vista)Graphics:DirectX 9 graphics card with 512Mb Video RAM: AMD Radeon HD 2600 XT, nVidia 8600
That is what I call an optimized game
Until 20 Dic €4,49 in Steam

Yeah unfortunately optimisation is often a skill learned too late.
That and even remaking a classic 8 or 16 bit game for modern systems ends up with huge amount of bloat. -
