- Yeah- real time textured 3D- brilliant. They move really smoothly
- and can be viewed from any angle (even underneath in the case of the scary
- jumping demon). They're pretty scary generally- the ogres fall over when
- you shoot them, but get up again and carry on until you kill them (lots of
- shots). The scenery is lovely too- really complex with lots of sloping
- floors and ceilings, rooms over rooms, water the lot. The precalculated
- light is good too- it casts shadows on the walls and everything's really
- dark and menacing. So far it seems to be much the same game as Doom though.
- Just run about and shoot stuff whilst looking for keys and ultimately the
- exit.

- It does look good doesn't it. I'm not sure whether the sky is
- plotted correctly on Heretic though, I think Doug's plotting from the top
- (which is much higher in Heretic since you can look up), and you can't see
- the mountains- only the clouds.
-
- The warp now works properly- nice one. But the missing textures
- cause hall of mirrors effects now, rather than just being a dodgy looking
- texture made of random data- not as good. Roll on a default texture for the
- missing ones I say. ;-)
-
- Have another day.
