I'll probably be posting 3D models like this sporadically until I gather more in a backlog, so watch out for them when they pop up!

Feel free to recommend any cute critters or goofy models from old low poly games you'd like to see posted and I'll try and oblige as well!

I thought I'd gather a few more 3D models before doing this but y'all are really cool and it would be a nice treat for reaching 2000 followers!

Little purple mouse with adorable flat polys for ears (doubled for front and back texture).

Holy moly, 2000 followers!

A big thank you to everyone who enjoys the low polys and the goofy alt texts!
It's been a nice little micro-creative outlet for me personally and a welcome distraction from all the chaos so I'm glad when even just one person likes it.

You're all lovely, thanks again! 💖

That's so lovely! Seeing 3D spaces like this was just magical back in the day.

Mine was probably Mercenary on the C64 which has some similar labyrinthine underground hallways but also an open world and also a giant cheese you can pilot like a space ship!

Yeah it was a very pleasant surprise to see them supported and seeing them in high res like this. I've never gotten far in any of the Freescape engine games but loved the fact that you could explore these mysterious 3D worlds!

Kind of, meaning that the Virtual Reality Studio (aka 3D Construction Kit) is using the same Freescape engine and came out after the games made by the same company, Incentive Software (Driller, Dark Side, Total Eclipse, Castle Master).

It's playing through ScummVM since it has support for the Freescape engine games and has additional options like higher resolution and smooth mouse control and such.

A look at the wizard's hut in it's original low resolution with a chair with a six-pronged star, a table and a tasty triangle of cheese on top.

Well the original has a way lower resolution on them polygons, it's just very simple graphics! (taken from mobygames)

Although finding the wine cellar lifted my spirits (haha, get it, spirits because ghosts but also alcohol) with a shelf with two bottles, one with a green and the other with a yellow label and two full barrels of wine and the one with the XXX written on it is, I'm assuming, the king's porn stash.

A cave hiding one of the pink pentacles you need to gather and also a lovely little flower growing from the ground. When you interact with the flower, your character says "MMMMMMMM!" obviously reminding them of that Crash Test Dummies song.

The castle kitchen with a big fireplace, a nice little pot hanging over it and a big blue table with some CHEESE on it oh hell yeah gimme that cheese!

The castle's great hall, the center of many a drunken party with two long tables, a giant fireplace and another long table perpendicular to the others with a tall chair and two banners behind it, obviously meant for the king, who is now probably turned into a frog or a bat or something.

Approaching the golden cross a bit closer and touching it writes out a message saying "NO EFFECT".

Yeah, figured as much.

A dark red cave with a g-g-g-ghooooost floating about, looking like it took a wrong turn from Pac-Man and gained a few polygons in the process.

Another square hole can be seen on the ceiling, I guess because there's perverts all around this castle that like to peep on others' business.

Yup, there's some kinky business going on in here as you enter the torture chamber with a table or rack, some hanging chains and even an iron maiden! Ooooh, fancy!

Going through the north passage, a long and narrow corridor faintly lit by a couple of torches, which I tried to touch and burned my hands and now I'm annoyed.

The castle courtyard full of salmon-colored huts and a church, a tall flagpole, one of the four corner towers and a small well further on.

The Smithy's hut full of hammers, an anvil, bellows and a bench with some CHEESE!

Blowing the bellows heats up the coals and sticking your hand in hurts you (no shit) but you can also cool off in the little pool of water in which the smith also bathes no doubt.

Or perhaps everyone bathes in the hot baths, though now not so much as they're haunted by the spirits, which in this case is like a tiny yellow bird.

They even went and built a diving board over the pool, such wealth and depravity, no wonder the Magister was all pissed off when he saw what they did with his quaint old hill.

The castle's own little church with some nice pillars, a few rows of benches and a podium with a large golden cross on the wall behind it.

There's also a peculiar square hole on the very center of the church's ceiling, possibly there for god to keep an eye on you.

"Then earth and fire and air and watery rage
Then tree and flesh and stone did understand
And know the law of Magister, shaman and sage
Lord of the Old Time, ruler over beast and man."

Castle Master has some deep lore written fully in verse by the odd and enigmatic Mel Croucher (often best know for the 1984 Deus Ex Machine), talking of ancient times in England where the omnipotent Magister ruled over everything, then the rise of mankind and their many civilizations that never last, and the Normans who built a mighty structure named Castle Eternity, made out of the very rock and soil that is the epicenter of the Magister's power while he slept for centuries and, after waking up, unleashing his magical fury and turning the king and all subjects into ghosts and beasts to haunt the halls of the castle.

You choose your character, a prince or princess, as your sibling is imprisoned in Castle Eternity and your first task is to figure out how the hell you're supposed to enter the castle and avoid the deep moat with no more than a shark swimming in it!

Entering one of the huts full of hay bales, a pitchfork and a spirit in the form of a cute black bat with triangular red eyes.

The earth shakes (or perhaps that's just you) when you encounter one of the inhabitants turned ghost and critter by the Magister with the message "SPIRITS!!" shown in the bottom part of the screen, and the only way to be victorious is to sling a rock with your slingshot at the spirits, probably because they're just not used to the idea and just flee.

Outside the castle is the Wizard's Hut, the home of a dirty and smelly old wizard that everyone ridiculed but in eventually learned was the Magister himself, risen back from his slumber.

We see a the lowest of polygons (this game has very primitive but charming graphics) with a table and a chair with a six-pronged star and some cheese on the table.

Let me tell ya, this game has A LOT of cheese to much on throughout the castle.

The castle stables, with a beautiful pinkish-red horse made out of like ten polygons, being a good boye.

You open the gate of the stable so the horse can go free if it wants, but it kinda just looks like it wants some food and a pat on the head.

A nice little easter egg in a somewhat hidden area - a bunch of walls and platforms in the distance, arranged in a way to spell out the words "Go Bug".

There's also a curious blue blur on the very left of the screen, standing at the edge of the letter B. Maybe we should get a better look.

It actually is THE blue blur, the blue dude with the 'tude, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Bug is starstruck at the sight of the handsome hedgehog who in turns just looks annoyed and disinterested, looking away and tapping his foot while holding his hands on his hips.

Moments later, Bug jumps on Sonic's head and phases him out of existence.

I guess it's true, never meet your heroes.

If you loose all your lives, you're presented with Bug's rear end, sporting ample tight cakes and the word "THE END?" spelled out cheekily over the butt cheeks.

A fiery inferno with a distant active volcano and a little bug called Bug being burned to a crisp by a red fire ant that's also a fireman fire ant that's also firing fire instead of extinguishing them.

Bug arriving at a full ribcage of some dead animal with some wooden signs saying "BUG WAS HERE!", "BADLANDS" on the left and "WORSELANDS" on the right.

Whichever way you go, it's all bad! That's Hollywood, baby!

Bug looking confused while standing on a little square patch of grass in the center of a big lake and some kind of giant water snake with purple and green stripes, yelling and growling with its mouth fully agape and its lush, sensual red lips looking oh so kissable.

I think I now understand why Bug is confused.

Bug finding himself in another predicament, jumping into an air bubble that's just carrying him over into the sky, possibly to never be seen again.

The little green bug riding a sleigh in a wonderful winter wonderland, arriving at his destination with a silly little snowman with a silly little top hat on its head. Very cute!

This other snowman, or rather snow-bug is a bit more abominable and fuzzy, currently smiling in delight as he's grabbing Bug with both hands and squeezing the life out of him, popping his eyes out.

An underwater kingdom full of seaweed and corals and a very dopey looking orange fish (not to be confused with the Dopefish) with a unibrow, slight strabismus and possibly no active brain cells, making Bug jump out of its skin (or chitin exoskeleton).

Getting into a tennis match with a giant squid that's flinging unsuspecting dopey fish at Bug who is swinging his trusty tennis racket and basically missing all of the fish.

Bug's terrible tennis skills are also one of the reasons he's never gotten anywhere in Hollywood.

Bug about to be hit by a ball of dung, flung by a dung beetle who looks very satisfied and happy to sling poop at other bugs.

Bug looks surprisingly unperturbed at the prospect of being covered in poop, and dare I say seems kind of excited about it.

A lovely dirt-patch arena with some audience stands filled with snails and bugs, holding signs like "BUG SUCKS", "STOMP BUG" and "SNAILS ARE SLIME" while a giant snail with a cowboy hat (with its eyes going through said hat) with fake mustachio and two big silver revolvers, firing actual guns as Bug is jumping over them, praying for dear life.

A desert area with some cacti and what looks like a gazebo built out of copy-pasted rock PNGs and a nasty little yellow lizard jumping at the camera with his little teethies out.

The desert boss fight with a giant rock demon with horns and teeth and a purple wiggly tongue with a spiky ball at the end, looking at our hero with a hungry smile.

Bug looks like he's starting to doubt some of the safety regulations on this set. Just what kind of movie IS this!?

The titular bug, named Bug is a Hollywood actor that's landed a big role in a new film somehow confusingly starring his entire family who's kidnapped by the Queen Cadavra, a giant spider who is actually evil and has actually kidnapped them but they're also making a movie about it.

Bug is a shrewd business-bug, capable of creating a reality show about putting his family in danger, just to get his big break in the business.

Not sure that's all going to plan as Bug finds himself in a lovely grassy area with lots of dung beetles and a wrinkly perverted snail that's leaning down to look at Bug's crotch.

Bug looks visibly uncomfortable and looks at the camera, breaking the illusion of cinema.

A lovely underwater kingdom with a central road and some rock arches towering over oceanic flora and fauna, consisting of some rather mean looking red eels with green eyes and sharp teeth, looking for an opportunity to chomp on a bug.

Bug visiting a beautiful green and purple jungle area full of mosquitoes and abusing his ZAP ability to fire a rod of electricity from his schlong, hitting the tongue of an incoming frog who looks very surprised and/or eager to munch on that lightning.

These bugs are into some freaky shit!

Bug flying on his trusty dragonfly through some inexplicably levitating fiery rings made out of rock, with some beautiful static images of 90s clouds in the background, perfect for a Windows 95 wallpaper.

I just realized I never bothered to see if one Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg played by Gary Oldman appears in the game at all and I am happy to report that he is and I'm here to rectify that omission with a few more screenshots.
