It's been almost two weeks since it started. This is a project, by mostly the original developers, to remake Outcast.
They're asking for 600.000$, but I'm not entirely sure they are going to get this kind of money without showing some gameplay footage first. They haven't shown too much, but it looks very very close to the source material.

I have always looked back on this game fondly. Only just now I've managed to play it extensively though and I can see that I was right. It's definitely a game ahead of its time. It's also very very beautiful and a lot of fun. Anywho, I just thought someone around here would like to see this, so here it is:

I went in on this one. Exciting to see this being recreated.

So we're finally getting a hardware accelerated version of Outcast? Or is this some massive software renderer running on a insane, overclocked, eight core processor?

DirectX 11. 3D accelerated. No voxels here 🤣

But voxels can be done in hardware via GPGPU... right? Of course then you have to deal with OpenCL and CUDA...
