Easter Eggs

[MadGypsy]

We have a handful of engine coders here and the thought dawned upon me that potentially some(one) of you may have included some easter eggs in your/their engine(s).

Actually this probably applies to modders as well.

Is this something that people should try to find in your work?

directq has an easteregg I believe.
fte doesn't, but does have enough features that I suppose could be considered eastereggs (eg the x11 plugin, possibly with csqc+wall shaders for X11-on-walls instead of just fullscreen. its quite cool, but limited/buggy so you'll need to combine with the xephyr program for more serious use).

Nice train of thought MadGypsy , really nice.

EasterEgg in DirectQ? Do Tell

[R00k]

ProQuake has 'matrix' in the console.

I havent added anything like this cause, well...

If you happen to use DarkPlaces, and you are not ill and feeling well, you can dare to type this into your console:
v_psycho 1

Do it at your own risk...


If you passed this test and still feel OK, you might dare to test this (as a logical next step): click

DirectQ had an easter egg once upon a time but I got rid of it a while back. You'll need to find an older version (can't remember how old) and - IIRC - type "map mh" in the console.

Its not in any of the DX11 releases Im noticing.

I think that this video would be appropriate for this thread:

rage, hmm, their #1 tech thing they brag about is megatexturing.
thats my #1 complaint, the textures look like ass! lets bolster a new tech in a AAA product to look like ASS so that we can hope in the fuckn future that your gay tech will actaully come to maturity so u can change it to something else and the cycle will continue dumb ass!

why not try to actually create a worthwhile game that u can play more than once. I got half way thru RAGE and said this is useless. Id rather go play borderlands.

did i mention graphics, once?!
sad thing about most game studios, they are not players, on their own products. they only hear words from 'said' experts.
notice to game studios: hire game players on the weekends for $10/hr!!
