Quoting: MaathThis reminds me a lot of Deluxe Paint 4 on the Amiga. They had the functionality of drawing while the animation was playing.

Oddly enough, I just installed DPaintIV on my new upgraded A500 yesterday :P

You have an old A500 up and running ?

Yup! Have been building it into one of the lovely new Checkmate 1500+ cases and sticking upgrades on it for the past month or so.

Cool.
Heard about Commodore enthusiasts , did not know Amiga had a community as well.
I actually like the x1000 but i don't have a spare organ to sell to buy one of those.

I have two A4000s and an A500 (with the Vampire v2 waiting to get my Checkmate case!)
Also, dpaint's source went open! https://github.com/historicalsource/DeluxePaint

I politely and jealously hate you a bit, just to know ;)
I've been having a daily routine of refreshing the store pages for the Vampire V2 for a while now (managed to put one in the shop's basket at one point, but it was already sold by the time I clicked "purchase"). For now, I've had to settle for an iRIX Labs Classic 520.
Any tips for snatching a V2?

Quoting: 95ych0I've never played any of Half Life. I hear such acclaim about it. Can I get into the series by playing Black Mesa without playing the original?

I'd say that if you only go into it for the story, then yes. If you want to see what the fuzz is all about, then no; the original Half Life still has areas that function better in its shooter mechanics.

Quoting: MaathI'm really curious what UI they're using. I wasn't aware that game engines would make UI design easy (well easier than a dedicated UI toolkit).

It looks like they're using the built-in widget functionality of Godot with a bit of basic scripting for the custom widgets. Godot generally has a really good GUI system - the Godot editor itself is built with it.

For anyone coming here to see if it's worth buying anyway, I can tell you that it isn't, so far.
Proton (including the Glorious Eggroll builds) suffer from the same bug that's apparently affecting a few Windows users: A black screen instead of a main menu.
It also requires PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% to even show its intro titles, so currently it's fairly borked.

Wait... Mr. Sonic Mayhem is doing the music on this!? I'm suddenly much more interested! :D

Oh, I thought this was still in Early Access! Nice to see that it's out and still growing :)

Strangely, apart from the frantic camera movements and the music, this looks really soothing; like the kind of place I would very much enjoy spending the night in.
I can't decide whether this a good thing for the game or not :/

QuoteLast night, you have become a vampire

Now, I'm not a native speaker, but do the tenses of that sentence check out? Seems odd to me.

It's present perfect, in this case indicating "an action that happened in the past and continuing in the present". Become is an irregular verb, so it's "you have become".

Thanks for the explanation! I hadn't seen the "adverbials which refer to a time which is not yet finished" (as LearnEnglish puts it) before; only took 30+ years for me to bump into it! :P
