Re: The Making of Stunt Island
#2This is a game I would love to see a modern remake off. It would be great for my kids as a sandbox to play in and make their own movies.

#3I wish he would run through "Midwinter" and "Midwinter II Flames of Freedom," though there are probably greater and more acute games. I love this guy and his work.

#4I love this quot under a 16 pixel image, A Mirage 2000 approaching the Golden Gate. Notice the city made of hundreds of polygons and the Gouraud shading.

#5Oh so many memories, I spent so many hours as a kid setting up my own stunt. Would def want a new version running with a modern 3d engine (GTA V is a little like that)

#6I can still recall its intro and sound bites.
That was such a weird era in gaming history; all these cool ideas being explored, but average computing power was not quite enough to do them justice. An odd limbo between the era when most games didn't attempt to be realistic, and before games could actually be realistic.
So you had all these games that thought they were being realistic, and we did what we had always done: nodded along and pretended that they were indeed realistic, and helped them by sticking to their rails. :)

#7This was so much fun. I mostly just flew planes through canyons and did cool loop-the-loops, but my brother created a whole mini film called Attack of the Killer Christmas Trees... just because he could.
It's worth noting that the slightly less slick and less fun, but possibly more powerful 3D Construction Kit predated Stunt Island:

#8Still available on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/stunt_island
I regret not getting into it back in the day as I was too busy with Flight Simulator 4 and all its expansions :)

#9I like the picture with they guy standing on the boat deck.
Does anyone here know how pictures like that where made? With Deluxepaint...?
It doesn't really look like a photo, but close enough. But I doubt it was scanned? On the other hand, doing it by hand seems quite tricky :)

The cloud and water look like photographs. Everything else, including the island, seems to
be digital drawings.
