A Path Beyond Level

11

A level designer of 8 years, first with maps for the Goldsource engine before moving exclusively to Source in 2007. Decent texture artist and voice actor, too. Co-founder of Scotch and Coffee Studios. I'm Archie, I'm Scottish, I'm 21 and I'm probably drunk.

A fair few reviews mention negatively that the game runs poorly on maximum settings (read in suit voice) even on high-end PCs.
I can't see why that's a negative point at all. The game looks fucking fantastic on high settings, pretty great on medium and damn passable on low settings which caters to just about any recent system. The fact that it is also future-proofed for upcoming hardware advances with a ridiculous ultra setting is a solution to what PC gamers* have been whining about for years - current-gen consoles holding back graphical advances in our poorly ported games. Well here's what happens when a dev makes a game suited for a PC with properly scalable graphics for tomorrow's hardware. It's awesome.

After The Core? No. It's a horrible engine to work with these days.

got to say, I'm really impressed with your mapping in Goldsrc - from experience I know that it's not an easy task, but you're doing very well, and with tools that aren't always the greatest. the core is one of the few half-life 1 mods I'm genuinely interested in!
