/vr/ - Retro Games

Speaking of sewers, playing Dimension of the Machine right now and HOLY SHIT it's so good.
They way the levels are kinda linear yet still heavily interconnected to the point they feel non-linear and almost open-world, the way it uses lighting to accentuate the points of interest or just to liven up the empty rooms, the way it places small tips to lead you to the secret, the way it places small tips to lead you into the trap, the way it places new enemies to lead you trough previously explored areas to the previously locked door you just got key for. And the overall atmosphere, I'm really digging the fog effect and the colored lighting WHEN the level was made with them in mind.
It just really damn tightly designed, so many small things you might not even notice. These mappers are alright.
