Shadowgrounds

Steam has a pack with Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor for $4.99. It's not the best game ever, but worth $5. I mainly noticed it because I'm working on something very similar right now so I figured I'd check it out and maybe get some ideas.

 

It seems to use a mostly dynamic lighting with some baked in lighting on the few non-destructible things around. Everything looks a little flat though. I think it might be due to lack of specular textures? Hard to say.

 

Anyways, just thought I'd mention it.

Just beat Shadowgrounds. Not bad for an indy team. From the credits it looks like 4 programmers, 7 artists and 1 sound/music guy.

 

Update: Just fired up Survivor. Looks a LOT better, I'm impressed. Same basic game play, but camera control has been tweaked a little, a little more depth added (a little more RPG like feel), they moved to PhysX, lighting has been vastly improved, now there's spec on the textures. It looks a lot like what I'm going for.
