When Epic MegaGames released Unreal in 1998 it was an absolutely monumental title for PC gaming. Let's take a nostalgic look back at Unreal and its expansion...
Godot is so enticing to me. I was heavily into RPG maker in the early oughts, not so much out of any love of the jrpg genre but just because it was mind blowing to be able to generate any kind of game so easily. Of course, now I have a “job” and “kids” and I probably won’t be able to play seriously with godot until the latter grows up and possible until I retire from the former, but it’s always there… beckoning…
Ha same! One day I’ll remake that 8bit title in pico8… or watch the kids do it! It’s a long ways from figuring stuff out from magazines, and complex technical manuals. It kind of got much harder during the 16bit era where the machine got harder to fully understand, like the Amiga compared to bbc micro or spectrum. 68k assembly was hard by yourself. But for sure, godot, gamemaker etc have made it accessible again, and programming is still a useful skill to have on your resume. It’s fed me long after my uni certificates expired!
