The Reception of Wolfenstein 3D

 

Bit of a strange post. I just want to provide a link here on my blog to an essay I wrote on Medium in 2018. It's about Wolfenstein 3D, obviously, I only devote my time to the most important things.

DOSBox keymap for Ultima Underworld

 

I had a go at creating a keymap file for Ultima Underworld. It is designed for a person who uses the mouse in their right hand. If you're interested, just download it, extract and drop it into your DOSBox directory (or Ultima Underworld's directory, if you're using the GOG release).

Playing with AI upscaling (Video2x)

 

I’ve been experimenting with AI upscaling for a little while now. For those unaware, this is a process where a program, trained using a set of example images, will take a picture and try to increase its resolution without compromising on quality. In reality, at least in my case, it’s more about coaxing software into producing acceptable, sometimes even amazing, upscaled images, by adjusting this setting here, or that slider there. We’re a long way from this being completely automated, at least at my price range. The pictures I’ve been using have largely been old family photos, taken by my dad with an early digital camera, but for the sake of my privacy and your interest, this post is focused on something more fun; loading screens from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
