There was none.

You were supposed to explain the scenario for the previous title provided.

Marathon Dinosaur Egg 3D It's a scenario that puts the player on Pfhor Prime to disable critical infrastructure to clear the way for a massive UESC invasion of the planet. Durandal sells out the UESC and the Pfhor decimate the UESC invasion fleet stranding the player who is very quickly the last rem...

I'm optimistic. For me its down to a few questions: - Is there quality continuation of Marathon's story, lore, and can I make it my objective to go get it? Is it one of the ways to win mentioned in the ViDoc? - Has Bungie found a way to consistently pump out content at a rapid rate? - Is the game re...

I'm in full support of the new game for the sole reason that it will fight the infectious mind virus that is Marathon's Story in my brain, significant brain power is now freed up to use on literally anything else. My life has already improved with the news of this game's development. If the story in...

Marathon EVIL starts great and then becomes a complete waste of time.
As in the levels are literally designed to waste your time.

What's the story?

How does the dynamic music work in Apotheosis X?
Or in a Marathon game in general?
There were times when I was genuinely impressed with how the music kicked in at key moments, like descending the elevator in Wireless Messiah even though I think it's the worst level in the game overrall.

It's only unusable if you're not extracting them on a classic Mac or an emulator thereof. There are guides to setting up SheepShaver and Basilisk II somewhere in one of these forums. I'd find it, but I have to be somewhere in half an hour. If you ask nicely, someone may extract it for you. I don't ...

I want to play Marathon Futility to see what the maps look like from the inside.
I can't because the only copies available on the internet are the goofy .hqx files that extract an unusable .SIT file.

Is Marathon Futility just lost?

When do the Apotheosis map screens get uploaded to Lhowon.org? Probably not anytime soon; it hasn’t been updated in ages. (The Eternal maps are still version 1.1 , to give an indication of how old long ago it was.) But you might find this of use: https://lochnits.com/marathon/scenarios You’re welco...

All Things Uncertain.png Found a sticky wall in the small passage on the right, here on All Things Uncertain. It happens when entering through either side. Also, enemy sprites were blinking around the area by that dead Enforcer. One of the prison cells around the periphery has an incorrect texture ...

A hunter teleported in behind me and threw me out a window.
I might not be thinking about the correct level but there is a level where this happens and I think it was intentional.

Love the Banshee and its firing sound, but I wish it didn't cut off. At some point I figured out the firing interval in milliseconds and edited the sample so it would be seamless... and it turns out Marathon doesn't reliably play the sound in time with the trigger, so then there was gaps as well as...

Hmm. What about the projectile speed? Also, it could be the angle of the pistols in hand versus the flight path of the projectile that's throwing me off. And now that I say that, I believe Eternal had this dilemma at some point, with projectiles originating from the center of the screen for both pi...

Glad you liked Ghost Hardware. It's one of a few I'm most proud of, despite not being a particularly flashy level in the scheme of things. I probably drew that map 10 times over, but the underlying level progression remained the same through each, as I thought it was a winner. Flashiness sucks. I a...

Otters on Strings got seriously upgraded. It's the highest example of "why didn't I think of using the engine like this?" in the entire game. EDIT: Why I adore Ghost Hardware: [*]Finding the chips is not the challenge, it's the easiest thing in the world. [*]The challenge is getting back t...

Just want to say I love what you did with the hunters. The crisp animations. The added melee attack I totally was not expecting when one got near me. Despite being ever so impatient to see this scenario come out, I am happy to see how high quality it is. I'm loving my playthrough of the scenario so...

I'll also mention that we rarely cut frames, outside of certain death and firing animations where it was the logical way to suggest sudden movement. For the majority of the animation, we hand keyed every. damn. frame. Exhausting but totally worth it considering you see the animations play on loop f...

From the outset I wanted to see what you would do with Momewraths.
I was not disappointed.

Something to look forward to.
It's just so rare nowadays. I can't wait to see the map design.

That guy plays like he's half asleep most of the time.
I do like that it seems as though the floors are designed with the ceilings in mind.

Release it in October.
