Stan` Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Maybe it's geometry instead of alpha, but we need instancing for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 The egyptian fortress looked a bit flat/bland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a lot of improvement, but also some examples of them making things blander to fit an overall aesthetic. I like the improvement to the Mausoleum of Halicarnasus though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 I think the game's ships look stupidly cartoony though. Always have, so I was looking forward to a bit of a design improvement, but instead they made them look dumber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have studies that tell them it's what player want. I'm happy the units look like the cinematic models we had back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 256x256 was the engine's texture size limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Ah yeah but it's the definitive edition so they probably have some stuff cartoonized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alre Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 buildings have lower contrast compared to the original version. It seems to me the did a better job with units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTe Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) Man, this game looks so similar to 0AD and same as Delenda Est? Btw, I went to check how AOM looks and found this. It says it's Retold, early beta access, so you guys might be interested? P.S. we need to advertise 0ad as "AOM Ascedent" or "AOM open-source" as well and get some players !

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 One thing I learned just now is that AOM:R has servers and they've abandoned P2P multiplayer hosting. This is just fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
