The box art for one of my favourite PC DOS compilations: Westwood 10th Anniversary from 1995.

Dune II: Battle for Arrakis, The Legend of Kyrandia I to III, and Lands of Lore? Plus a sweet video retrospective of their first ten years? That's a lot of Westwood goodness.

In-engine intro from "Malice" (1997,) a commercial total conversion for Quake. The sequence was made with tools from the emerging at the time "machinima" scene, and predates the coining of that term itself.

Intro from Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon (Coktel Vision, 1992). This was absolutely *peak* videogame animation back in the day.

A few days ago I released a patch which replaces the unhinged movement system in Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon with mouselook + WASD. Turns out the sequel is pretty much the same, so here's a mod for The Pandora Directive.

There was a progression bug in SM2 once you hit the Dralthi missions; now fixed in Beta 0.8 R4! Quite a few other misc fixes; e.g. better support for older versions of WC1. I'm working on further improvements to the input layer, which should be in the next release. alltinker.itch.io/wcat

Beta 0.8 R3 is out; there was a lockup in the nav screen with joystick controls enabled - now fixed! You can also calibrate joysticks in the launcher via Alt-J (like the original game); useful if it's out of whack for whatever reason. More improvements on the way...

Animation is a medium, not a genre, and, like any medium, there are some concepts that can only be properly portrayed using it. House of Leaves is an unfilmable book, the wizard Ekh in the 1983 short "Wow, a talking fish!" Would never have the same impact without being animated.
