Ick, I saw what the upscale did to the #pixelart goodness. Did a quick upscale of things I had on hand from Quake3 not already posted #gamedev #gameart #art
A collage of low resolution game texture from Quake3 and Team Arena, including a creepy wall of teeth and gums, a brown trim texture with an alienish monitor, 2 blue creature face textures, a skull pillar, a skull wall arch, and a very abused and grim dopefish.

We can build VMFs in #func_godot now. Team effort between myself and @sine.fyi.

I've been handling parsing and entity assembly, she's been working on all things geometry because she's smarter at this stuff than I am.

Pretty soon you'll be able to use Hammer with @godotengine.org.

#gamedev
J.A.C.K. Source engine map editor. It shows the default room upon creating a new map. It is saved as a VMF. The VMF from the previous screenshot has been built by FuncGodot in the Godot Engine. A section of Surface Tension from Half-Life, built from a decompiled VMF by FuncGodot in the Godot Engine.
