I'm starting to delve more into 70s scifi art and writing for inspiration, and it's making me suspect that my long disinterest in scifi has mostly to do with how stale and unimaginative it's become now as a codified genre.

How in the heck did they do this shadow?
The part on the ground seems like it's drawn with sectors but the part on the fence has to be a transparent decal of some sort I guess?
It's honestly really impressive how many tricks this game uses for fake light and shadow.

Never forget that one of the artists on Redneck Rampage was Victor Antonov.
You know, the artist behind Half-life 2 and Dishonored.

Played the first two levels with this mod last night and it makes the experience a lot more fun.
Definitely worth a look if, like me, you love the aesthetics of Redneck Rampage but feel like it needs some fixes and balance adjustments to actually be fun.

I feel like people don't talk enough about how incredibly good these shorts are. My kids have been watching them on loop for several years and they're still hilarious.

It took us a bit, but Iron Lung is finally available on Android devices!
play.google.com/store/apps/d...
The port was done by @ducky-dev.bsky.social
and I, so we can confirm that it plays well and runs well. With a pair of headphones, it's actually a decent way to play the game!

Been playing the Coffee Break mod for Wolfenstein 3D. Although Wolf3D hasn't aged as well as Doom, it's always had a really unique core to its gameplay, being essentially a stealthy tactical arcade shooter that's arguably as akin to Hotline Miami as it is to other boomshoots.
