Do you like old school deathmatch with modern features but none of the frills that have ruined the raw purity of the genre? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of classic deathmatch, and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. Alien Arena is a furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With game modes such as Capture The Flag and Tactical, there are terrific team-based experiences to be had as well as 1v1 duels, free-for-all, and dozens of mutators to alter the game play to your liking. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.
Another new glsl shader, this time we are creating "godrays" that emanate from the sun. Not quite as complex as it looks, but certainly a nice effect to be sure.
LOLOMG
Not even 99% of commercial ganes have any sort of GRs but here they are in a custom built engine that is based on a over century old game engine XD
If they arent that complex why does nobody except crysis use them ? Its not like... That they ruin the scenery like extensive motion blur...
I really don't know why more games don't have it to be honest. It's not terribly performance costing.
Consoles need every bit of power they can. Also sunshafts don't occur often in real life... only when there is a lot of material in the air.
But they look awesome. :) Halo did them very well & so did Serious Sam 1. I'd enjoy to see them more in games.
