Braid Code Cleanup (part 3)

And I had decided to, but as sometimes happens, I changed my mind and worked for about another 45 minutes until I had solved the problem. I knew I had a problem in at least some DDS files.

At first I presumed this was a bug in nvdxt and looked into how to use nvcompress, but that doesn’t handle batch files. Note that you can see these gray bands very clearly in the file listing from yesterday’s blog post!

PNG came out all wacky, I don’t even know what is going on: But hey, this was an old version of stb_image_write, I should upgrade that to a new version when I am back to a stable point. . … and it worked perfectly.

Reverse Design: Chrono Trigger - 2

(Some stats are more mathematical than others.) But because there's not a whole lot going on in the first quest, we've saved this space for you! Email your request for some kind of stat to submissions@thegamedesignforum.com and we'll put it up. Make sure you read all the other Stats first, so we don't get a lot of repeats. Cheers!

Indeed, the first two books (FF6, Chrono Trigger) are mostly irrelevant to this one, although hopefully they are interesting in their own right. There are two big, historically important design changes that take place in Half-Life, and the evolution from the composite/CCST style into the set piece style is the first one.
