Call me a Left 4 Dead fanboy if you must — I did stay up until [[link]] 1:30 AM last night plugging through “No Mercy” yet again — but Lundeen’s insight into the game’s evolution, from a u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ light source perspective, says a lot about the visual impact of police car headlights. It may all seem like “duh” kind of stuff — players move toward well lit areas, a brightly lit apartment complex doesn’t exactly scream “ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!” — but there’s a lot to be learned here for budding game designers.
