Comment on Adventures in Streamlining – Skyrim vs. Battlefield 3 by Matthew Fister

I’m pretty sure this is not true. Wikipedia says Skyrim is their own Creation engine and Battlefield is indeed Frostbite 2.0. It intuitively makes sense too. The evidence of the lineage of the Creation engine is obvious tracing from Morrowind to Oblivion to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, finally landing in Skyrim. I think the Patrician series used the same engine, but I could be wrong with that.

The current iteration of Frostbite (most prominent feature destruction) was created for Bad Company Two.

If I’m wrong, I apologize.

Both run off the Frostbite 2.0 Engine developed by Dice.

Hey! Good to hear someone is still playing around with Extranaut! I actually never made a guide to it, but maybe I will. I’ll put a new post up if I do.

could you please upload a guide to using the map editor? No matter how much I look, here’s what I find: NOTHING!

[...] more free games made by Boston devs? Well ok then! Exanaut is a explorative platformer (or to use the hip slang, “metroidvania-like”) by Matthew [...]

You know what would be fun to move around? Autocannon turrets.

Maybe fuel rechargers?

Or maybe a save point consumable. I bet that has been done and hated, because we all hate rare consumable items. Maybe, maybe maybe maybe a rare consumable save point that DOESNT SAVE YOUR GAME IT IS JUST A TRICK

Sorry for the lagging! I thought I worked it out, but on some systems it is still rough. I think it killed my girlfriends laptop when I was doing a demo.

I <3 Audia, so thanks!

Hey, not a bad metroidvania! It lags intermittently for me however. What really impresses me is the use of Audia for the music. I didn’t complete the game but I listened to all the music, and you managed to put together some really nice ambient stuff, and it’s also very fitting. Glad my software was of use to someone! Keep up the creativity. :)

Yeah that’s a good idea.

I love the idea of carrying around save points. Maybe in a future game. There are pretty many save points in extranaut. At least one at the start of each area and before bosses. Also all powerups count as save points (that you can only use once).
