In Response To: A lesson for us all (Plague Bearer aka Nick)

I agree, I think the textures are kick ass! I always thought that was the best part with Eternal, I love the textures used for the Marathon levels. It was a joy retexturing level 2, when I got to work with those textures. I usually think that textures in other games look too cartoonish.
I don't think the level sucked either, good flow, good enemy layout. Maybe it lacked detail a bit, but otherwise it looked good to me. I can't say if it looks anything like the Marathon from the Bungie produced game, but I myself am quite happy with the level :) What exactly was it that people disliked about that level?

: Well personally I thought the textures were kick-arse, but everyone has their
: own opinion. Which brings me to a little story, and since this a story
: forum, what the heck eh?

: Actually its not a story so much as a fable, that is a small story with a
: little message inside. I didn't write this fable, it was written a long
: time ago by someone who's name you ought to be able to guess. Anyway...

: Once upon a time there lived and old man and a small boy. They owned a donkey
: and one morning the two of them set out bright and early to make the long
: trip to the market. So off they went. Being a kind old man he put the boy
: up on the back of the donkey. Shortly down the road they passed a farmer
: heading in the opposite direction. "What a spoilt little boy!"
: he cried as he went by, "Sitting up atop that donkey and forcing this
: poor old man to hobble along the dusty road." Upon hearing this the
: old man stopped, quickly lifted the boy off the donkey and mounted it
: himself. Before long they came upon a traveller, as he passed them he
: exclaimed "Oh, just look at that!" said the traveller
: dissaprovingly, "That wretched man would have such a small boy walk
: beneath him, tiring his tiny little legs." Feeling somewhat ashamed,
: the old man clambered down and so he and the boy walked upon the road
: leading the donkey behind them. The sun had barely moved in the sky when
: they came to a small stall on the side of the road, one of the merchents
: looked up and laughed loudly; "Those fools!" he bellowed,
: "They have an ass and yet it carries nothing!"
: The old man and the boy were not long past the stall when they felt rather
: foolish and so the old man placed the boy on the back of the donkey before
: climbing upon it himself. They were not even half way upon their journey
: before they came to some workers in a field beside the road. "How
: disgraceful," said one of the workers, "That exhausted creature
: must carry both that lazy old man AND his boy."

: Get the drift...?
