Catlantean 3D: making graphics like it’s 1993

My goal was to build a complete, shippable first-person shooter using techniques that were common in the early 90s, while allowing myself the luxury of using a modern compiler and a platform abstraction layer.

It looks amazing already, and it isn't even done. Stanic goes into great detail explaining how he created the various assets for the game, and it's a joy to read through his creative process and problem-solving routines. The game's called Catlantean 3D, and is expected to ship somewhere early 2027.
