Started something. Of course I'm never going to finish it.

Yes.

The bright yellow and pink lights are the worst. I try to avoid them in the screenshots I'm posting but there a lot of those.

Everything is more tasteful than Daikatana.

They're definitely a mistake when you choose to put the bases on Mars and Mars's sky is red and so every outdoor scene is tinted. Poorly.

But I could say a lot more on how on top of that, they severely fudged the color formulas. You'll see stuff like if (reflectivity < 0.5) reflectivity *=2; // Because textures are so dim!
Quake 2 surely was the developing mess that led to Daikatana.

But you have to admit that the Strogg are a little bit of a Pepsi Borg. Also colored lights were a mistake.

It's going to happen as soon as I get over my fixation with ID boxes. These ones are rather shy boxes, but they're there.

Quake 2: silly boxes

Quake 2: here's your vitamins for today

Quake 2: you may think you have a choice

Quake 2: come for the boxes, stay for the rockets.

Boxes and fans are Quake 2's cowbells.

ID boxes are the best boxes

Like, for some reason there are a lot of light emitters textures in the BTSX set. Those light emitters don't work in Doom, but they do work in Quake 2 and that's one the things I wanted to try.

If you wanted to see some more BTSX textures in Quake 2, this is some nonsense I made yesterday.
