Deadlight Added

Thanks to forums member Crave for turning me on to Deadlight, an aliens-invade-sinking-ship FPS for PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube. Currently in development at UK developer Blue52, Deadlight looks a whole lot like a cross between Carrier and Doom 3. Impressively, Blue52 appears to be using stencil shadows on the PS2, which is quite difficult. No release date has been released yet.

  1. On second thought it may just be a projective texture shadow. Stencil shadow is a technique often used on systems other than the PS2 to create 3D shadows. The method is prohibitively difficult on the PS2, so most shadows on that system are rendered using a projective texture technique. If you are interested in the nuts and bolts of these algorithms, you should check out Wikipedia:
