Singularity Developer Diary
polycounter lvl 18
The fine folks over at Raven have been posting some cool tidbits to their Dev Diary for Singularity. It has some neat info on how some of the interesting things were done in the game, ranging from environments, animation, fx, UI.

The UI and ageable stuff are my favorite so far:

Grey, I don't have the links atm but Brink has a pretty good one going. Too human had a huge one going. there's actually a bunch they just don't seem to advertise very well.
Props to the mighty Tim Elek for organizing this and making it happen.

Was wondering what a FPS rig setup should look like, would love to hear more on that.
Singularity is looking better and better too. Stellar job Raven.

Edit: Copy arrived, had a quick play, reminds me a lot of Bioshock.
The manipulation stuff for the puzzles is really good.
Having a few problems with textures not streaming in on some levels though (PC version.)

Guys seriously give this game a chance. I haven't had this much fun playing an fps in a long time.
Anyone getting it for 360?
Hopefully theres a patch in the works!
And man those sci fi / techy looking consoles on the left are super sexy!!!
I really really hope Raven go indepth as to how they got bullet wounds on soldiers and ragdolls working in Unreal Engine 3. First devs I've seen who've been able to get decals on actors like that.
We were unaware of any streaming issues on PC =/
Haven't tested yet myself but will give it a shot..
Getting some bioshock vibes with the tmd though.
ha! it will be up there around the 9th i think.
