Glen seemed to have ported a good amount of graphics and gameplay from the original Id title. However I thought the old 386 version was still smoother in terms of rays casted.

meh....very cool as an experiment in flash8, but as a workable game engine its not really doing it for me. I know it was a pain in the ass but almost identical effects and speed were possible using the fake movieclip approach to generating raycast landscapes.
I like it, very smooth and much bigger then anything similar I have seen in Flash before. Well, I havent actually seen many playable 3D Flash games, this one is really a game not another experiment of walls in 3D. Impressive :)
I like it.
Love to see it... password protection though :s
Great :) too bad one cant shoot ennemies (and nintendogs) yet.
Size of display screen is huge, reflection of the walls on the floor effect is great.
Keep it up !
actually you can shoot enemies :)Quote:

Pretty sweet engine
Hehe, pretty cool!
-Ostil-
still WWAAYYY too slow.
Otherwise it is nice.
I have seen much faster ray-casting engines in Flash, but they did not have texturing. I still think, especially with Flash 8 it should be possible to make a much faster version.
cool man, he even put in the secret area and the machine gun in the first level.
It's technicaly amazing..but it's a boring game.
I totally agree that while it's a technically beautiful the gameplay is absolutely atrocious. It doesn't engage the user at all.
sure it does, you can move around and shoot stuff...
what more do you want?!
I think the reason you might concider it so boring is because of the speed of gameplay. If it ran as fast as a dream and you were cruzing through 20 bad guys in a minute, there would be a lot more love going around.
i agree with those who said its technically really nice but the gameplay is boring.
I remember the times when that game was new (the original one) and yeah, back then it was technically even more amazing of course (because there wasn´t something in that immersive 3d feel before) and also gameplay wise it was more addicting as there weren´t 3d games with much more gameplay features. But nowadays there´s games in which you can do way more and which have better gamedesign, too.
I don´t agree that just more enemies and speed would enhance the gameplay,it would just enhance the amount of action and maybe leave less time for thinking about the poor gameplay (as you just have to constantly react).
Don´t get me wrong,as a port its very nice but to make a real fun game out of it for nowadays standards it should of course feature more diverse gameplay. I´m not even speaking of a comparison (gameplaywise) with something like GTA with an immersive gameworld with lots of tasks, but just to compare with other flash games, i think it would be really sweet if it had the control depth of heli attack (mouse aim,time swapping moves,collecting lots of weapons and having the ability to jump).
Of course all of those would make it an own game and not a wolf port, but well,as we were talking about the gameplay..
Still kudos to Glen for making such a nice port (and well, on my box it also runs really speedy =) ).
I´d just like to see a unique game made with the engine,but well,something like that will surely come in a while :)
I'm pleased to report that the difference between the speed when you play it in the browser and when you play it from your hard drive is negligible. Even if you go in full-screen mode, it runs very smoothly!
3D in flash, honestly, why bother. Use a actual 3d engine if you want to make 3D games. I'd much rather play a fun game than a Flash 3D engine.
might as well play half life 2. :p
Very very nice engine.. it's definatly great..
it is just a remake of wolf3d in flash, he never make any new game,
maybe most of u that say it is boring never heard of wat is wolf3d, wolf3d is a very old game, that why it is boring.
man Wold 3d was the **** this is a really good remake I just miss the old bloody face at the bottom when your hurt, or was that doom or both? I forget.
Hi. I am just here to say that it is actually quite a good remake.
I had said it was way too slow, which on my older 1 ghz machine it was.
However, after playing it on my newerer machine, it runs very nicely.
