Gonna mess with id tech 4 soon btw I wanna make a 00s style fps or similar before gaming got bad
@PurpCat Come to think of it why don't devs just build on the FOSS id tech engines in this day and age? There should be plenty of docs and support by now and it runs everywhere without the bloat of stuff like Unity, UE, etc. (most of which is completely unneeded for smaller projects)
@tadano It's the GPL, there's plenty of docs from Doom 3 era stuff but not as much as the more popular engines of the 00s like UE2 or Source but the GPL license puts off people who don't "get" the license or who want to make console shit (see the ScummVM Wii lawsuit and it's outcome).
But most of the troonslop "retro" game devs are using Unity with faux PS1 graphics that struggle to run on a C2D.

@xianc78 @tadano It's not about accuracy, it's about the "aesthetic", like pixel art games that look nothing like real retro games.
Namely, it's about mimicking the artstyle of Megaman Legends and a few other games, and "what you think they look like". It's also popular now, literally the fucking credit sequence in the Sonic 3 movie was based on "early 3d consoles" and not "sprites" because sprites aren't vogue anymore but PSX slop is.

some games hilariously miss the mark though, the textures should be approximately the same resolution and the triangles shouldn't be too big so that the texture warping doesn't get too obnoxious (the ps1 programming guidelines suggest dynamic tessellation)
