Well spnkr me, this is one toz-t remix!

Dang now I have to see if I can still find my M1 CD. I can't remember anything about audio tracks on it.

Heck I still want to see these sprite-ified and put into a game!

Now I want to play with 8-bit color, just because I can. Is it extensible to 4-bit color? Wonder what hi-res textures would look like...

Stopping by again to say hello. Pointed a gamer (and occasional game soundtrack designer) toward Marathon last month. I saw somewhere that Trojan is playable again. WOW.

That
Was
AMAZING.

If you can write as well, you should be doing a Marathon webcomic.

I vaguely recall having correspondence with someone from EMR several years ago when I was seeking some of the original artwork for dingbat use in Marapfhont. If this thread is still relevant, maybe I can try to dig it up.

Yeah, those six big ones were the first I hit.

Wow! Never got farther than the first level of PiD. Might have to give this a shot, at long last!

Maybe hound poison would swap in the original textures for 5-10 seconds. "Leela, help, my eyes! Everything's gone blurry!"

First, hi again. It's been a long time. Circumstances forced me to take a break, but now my kids are old enough to enjoy shooter games, so I've introduced them to Marathon a little bit. Thought I'd stop in here to see if anyone was still alive and actively working on anything. Very exciting to see j...

I still want to get A1 running on a Q840AV/NetBSD...

Version 0.15 now resides at the Open Font Library, so you can use it as a web font.

If I saw Bill Clinton smiling at me, I'd act shy too. You know how he gets.

He is as far as I know. I was in contact with him last year regarding some issues on the wiki.

Whatever are you talking about? We're still here, aren't we?

I wonder if inertia was coded this way by accident and then left when Bungie realized the possibilities of being able to control mid-air movement, or if they had the idea first and did it intentionally.

It's always struck me as odd that people keep developing higher and higher resolution art for Marathon, to make things look better and "more realistic", when the game engine itself is very obviously not. Changing the playing experience in this way might be fun.

If there were a patch to toggle realistic inertia in A1 (fall/fly in original direction, not facing direction), would it be accepted? This would definitely change gameplay when enabled, and I imagine there would be areas made unreachable (i.e. access relies on midair turns), but would the Trilogy st...

My resolution in 2015 is 4800×900.

32×32. Except for terminals and pattern buffers. Those should be 4096×4096.

Looks Like S'pht can now be easily used online courtesy of the Open Font Library.

Ever get the feeling that the guys at Apple just arbitrarily change the API to annoy 3rd-party devs?

Yes. When I invite everyone here to help with Traxus, I really mean "everyone but Wrkncacnter". Thanks for picking up on that.
