Wants to see a descent level with music in 4k?? download it! ;)
added on the 2000-09-17 02:51:38 by epsilum epsilum
This is the most kick ass (of a non-coder) 4k I've ever seen, leech it.

A little piece of art!

a must-see !

only one word comes to mind : wow.
added on the 2001-01-12 17:05:36 by flure flure
Together with "Stoerfall Ost" one of the few REAL "how the fuck..." 4K intros. Get this NOW :)

Does this damn thing has music?! Damn! Why I haven't heard it???

Rockz..

Optimus: This "damn thing" really has music (and that's why this "damn thing" is the best 4k intro in the world) but sad to say for General MIDI only.
added on the 2001-03-21 15:30:58 by crs crs
since the midiport is hardcoded there is a final package available including most important ones. i own a GUS, but i never heard the sound, too ;)
added on the 2001-03-23 18:12:12 by PigPen PigPen
when I first read about this little intro in a website I didn't really believe seing a Descent level in just 4 kb's. just one word, ROCKS!
added on the 2001-03-24 22:49:10 by shash shash
Shouldn't it be "Omniscient"? :)

GUS ppl who haven't heard the music, run MegaEm first.

This was the most impressive 4k on the PC for several years, but now even Windows 4ks are starting to get better (e.g. Varus by Kolor). Still, respect to the Sanction guys for all they did back then.

This thing's insane. Also, phoenix is right. It should be Omniscient.

Actually, I'm a dumbass. It clearly says "Omniscent" across the top of the screen :)
added on the 2001-08-12 18:03:18 by bigcheese bigcheese
My prefered 4k.
rulez added on the 2001-08-12 18:21:35 by MooZ MooZ
It's "Omniscent" because of the reference to the "Descent" title... hey, the sanction members never knew enough English to recognize that they named their intro "All-Smell" this way *ggg*
rulez added on the 2001-08-12 18:58:34 by kb_ kb_
bwahahahaha!

hella cool intro, though, heh... I'd probably have to use 16k for something like this.

Music, good 3d engine, large scene, good textures, etc...
Yes, best 4k I've ever seen.

was this intro actually the first with 'real' procedural textures btw? as in, a 3d flyby with procedural textures. i cant remember earlier work at least.. perhaps on the Amy?

dunno it's historical value, but it's nice today.

A masterpiece! In 1997 it seemed simply impossible to squeeze the first decent level in only 4096.
rulez added on the 2007-04-28 22:00:19 by Admiral^Elyssis Admiral^Elyssis
Hmm.. really impressive, but still just a fly through an empty game level. The 26k duke nukem level is still the best for me, that was interactive and had the enemies.

Back then in 1997 I made a Descent game engine too, but mine was big and slow. Respect.

Very cool. Gouraud shading, hidden surface removal, procedural textures very reminiscent of Descent's. Also a smooth camera control. Besides, Descent was one of my favourites.

It was faster than the original's rendering written in Watcom C++, with just the rasterline being in assembly. I'm trying to imagine the face of the developers back then.
added on the 2018-08-31 12:38:19 by archee archee
Oh wow, I've never seen this before. Even though my memories of the original Descent are... let's say less than pleasant (Disorientation: The Game), the demo still managed to poke at a few nostalgia strings. Other than that it's still quite solid, with a realistic camera path and whatnot. Good stuff.
