Among other people, I bumped into I ended up coming in second place, which earned me a (pretty sweet for the time) Adaptec 3950U2 Ultra2 Dual Channel SCSI card and an (even sweeter for the time) offer of a job at Loki.
I first encountered the company in 1999 when I entered the Loki Hack programming competition at the Atlanta Linux Symposium. But, the marketbase just wasn't there to support the company. The company did good work and really advanced the state of the tools, libraries, and drivers available at the time. Loki Software was formed for the purpose of porting Windows desktop PC game titles to Linux. Many corporate interests and venture capital firms were scrambling to be the first to somehow make a bundle of money on Linux's sudden good fortune. During that time, the Dotcom bubble was rapidly expanding and Linux was picking up steam as a desktop operating system. I jumped into the original and a preview build of the Revision mod earlier today to take a few comparison screenshots, which you can scroll through above.ĭeus Ex: Game of the Year Edition and Human Revolution will be on sale from today through to October 16 at 80% off as part of the Steam Stealth Sale.Loki Software was a software company based out of Southern California that was active from 1998 to 2001.
You can download the mod at 6:30PM BST / 10AM PST for free via its Steam page. The Mankind Divided publisher is officially endorsing the mod, which has been in production for seven years, according to updates on their ModDB page. "We also bundle in some of the best enhancements the community has to offer: high-detail textures and models, Direct3D 9 rendering, and alternate gameplay modes," says project creative director John French, via a statement put out by Eidos Montreal. Described on its ModDB page as a "large scale re-imagining" of Ion Storm's Deus Ex, it overhauls the original with new lighting, improved textures a remastered soundtrack. The Deus Ex Revision mod will be released in a few hours.
