Alpha Centaur-best game ever made?

Alpha Centaur-best game ever made?

Game blew me away when I was in highschool.

I found that the biggest issue seemed to be if I used the other (better) setting for hair so that Lara's hairy started flowing.  Really? A hair modification is what brings down my frame rate?

Good-looking hair is very taxing. When I did 3D rendering I usually did an extra pass solely for fur and hair and worked them into the scene later in composition.

Also, why is motion blur an option? I briefly had that turned on and started feeling sick to my stomach.

It's always been used in TV/video to blend one frame with the next (otherwise having just 24/25 frames per second would be very noticeable).

Gotcha, well I'm going to keep that turned off as I don't need her to have following hair.

I don't recall getting sick watching TV/video. Though I do when looking at something like this.

It might be the tuning. Or there might some other contributing factors that are not present at traditional PAL/NTSC films/broadcasts. For example, I get really sick playing Source games with default Field of View settings.

Been playing with a weird indy game, Papers, Please.

With full VGA graphics, you are a border inspector in 1982 in the eastern European country of Artstotzka.  Your job is to inspect the paperwork of incoming people to make sure that they meet full official Arstotzkan requirements, no matter what.

I love the idea of this game... I'm just not sure I love the game.  Further play is required.

I will put up a review of it on Wednesday on my blog. I played it most of yesterday afternoon, and it's made me think a fair bit.

Give a concise version here - don't make me wait till Wednesday.  I'm curious what someone else thought about the game.

I found it surprisingly easy to slip into "just doing my job" mentality.

you know that`s kind of creepy coming from a german

But more importantly: one of the characters in that game is apparently named "Viktor Orban"

Anthem of Arstotzka. Arstotzka has spawned a weird little fan community.

Considered getting this, but don't have any friends.
