Fans Of HPL (the engine) - dragonmaster - 07-23-2008
Im a fan of the HPL engine, even though i never seen it. Are you a fan of the HPL engine?

Yeah, good rendering, clever system, fun to mod.
one downside is those damn bugs that make me yell #%$&?@!!!!!!!!!!!

To add to what i said, I think the HPL is AMAZING. Probably one of the most advanced independently developed engines, i especially love the CG shaders, stencil shadows that OWN, and cross platform support without compromising quality.

Tell me, are you a modder?

Dragonmaster, if you have played Penumbra or Energetic, you have aleady seen HPL engine.
I don't care myself, the make good games, that's what I really like, not the engine the game uses.
One indi engine I seem worth being a fan of is Esenthel. It's more advanced than HPL. And it's not even done yet.

Im not a modder, but if/when they license the engine, i am DEFINITELY getting in line!

The HPL engine is great for the number of people involved in the creation of it, and the production cost.
But compared to top-line game engines, it isn't very good.

Sorry to make you dissapointed, but HPL2 will have softshadowing. And soft shadowing are better than stencil. Not just the looks but it has some features that stencil don't have. I personally think soft shadowing is better than stencil, though stencil is more "dramatic" than soft in some way.
