Shadow Warrior Beta Analysis - Art



Subsections

Introduction | Graphics | Art | Voxels | Audio | Music | Sounds | Maps | Program |

I went through all of the SW beta's tiles with ART2BMP by Samiel and a program called DupFinder to find all the unique tiles in the SW beta.

There are some lost enemies that are referenced in Keith Schuler's list of sound entries such as Lava Boss, Skeletor Priest, and more. I found some art for at least four lost enemies, although Lava Boss only has one frame.

Lost enemy:

Tile #1020 Tile #1021

beta main character, automap frames only:

Tile #1239 Tile #1240 Tile #1241 Tile #1242 Tile #1243 Tile #1244 Tile #1245 Tile #1246 Tile #1247 Tile #1248 Tile #1249 Tile #1250 Tile #1251 Tile #1252 Tile #1253 Tile #1254 Tile #1255 Tile #1256 Tile #1257 Tile #1258 Tile #1259 Tile #1260 Tile #1261 Tile #1262 Tile #1263 Tile #1264 Tile #1265 Tile #1266 Tile #1267 Tile #1268 Tile #1269 Tile #1270

Lost enemy:

This one appears to be from very early screenshots of Shadow Warrior 3D.

Tile #1320 Tile #1321 Tile #1322 Tile #1323 Tile #1324 Tile #1325 Tile #1326 Tile #1327 Tile #1328 Tile #1329 Tile #1330 Tile #1331 Tile #1332 Tile #1333 Tile #1334 Tile #1335 Tile #1336 Tile #1337 Tile #1338 Tile #1339 Tile #1340 Tile #1341 Tile #1342 Tile #1343 Tile #1344 Tile #1345 Tile #1346 Tile #1347 Tile #1348 Tile #1349 Tile #1350 Tile #1351 Tile #1352 Tile #1353 Tile #1354 Tile #1355 Tile #1356 Tile #1357 Tile #1358 Tile #1359 Tile #1360 Tile #1361 Tile #1362 Tile #1363 Tile #1364 Tile #1365 Tile #1366 Tile #1367 Tile #1368 Tile #1369 Tile #1370 Tile #1371 Tile #1372 Tile #1373 Tile #1374 Tile #1375 Tile #1376 Tile #1377 Tile #1378 Tile #1379 Tile #1380 Tile #1381 Tile #1382 Tile #1383 Tile #1384 Tile #1385 Tile #1386 Tile #1387 Tile #1388 Tile #1389 Tile #1390 Tile #1391 Tile #1392 Tile #1393 Tile #1394 Tile #1395 Tile #1396

Lost screens:

The second one must be VERY old, since it has an Apogee logo, some very undeveloped art, and a part of EDITART.EXE on the bottom. It is actually two tiles, but I juxtaposed them in the HTML.

Tile #1781 Tile #2330Tile #2331

3D Realms screen:

The Duke 3D Atomic version is used. On the left is the raw art, on the right is with the correct palette.

Tile #2325 Tile #2325_correct

Throughout the art, many copies of this Tile #are scattered, where some of the art was sadly removed.

Tile #1782

There are even copies of it superimposed on top of other art! Argh!

They even made a joke of it:

Tile #2360

Pickups(?):

The last one could be an armor suit pickup or a prop.

Tile #1820 Tile #1821 Tile #1826 Tile #1827 Tile #1828 Tile #1837

Beta Guardian Head:

Tile #2317 Tile #2318 Tile #2327

Beta HUD:

Tile #2350

Beta weapon:

Tile #2353

Lost enemies:

Lava Boss:

The term "Lava Boss" is referenced both in Keith Schuler's list of sound entries as well as a file in the SW source code called lava.c.

Tile #2355

MrFlibble alerted me to the fact that the Lava Boss appears as a cameo in the final game in a poster, under the name of "Earth-Eater" (Tile ##5049).

Tile #5049

Lost screen with Lava Boss:

Eel: ("Cockmonster")

There is a nearly useless file in the SW source code called eel.c, which contains some code for a lost enemy. It can be inferred that the following lost enemy is the Eel. Note that the art is incompletely assembled, as the artists accidentally left the 320x200 editart box around a few of the tiles. In addition, the animations are in the wrong order to be used by the game.

Shuriken cursor:

The tiles for this are still in the game, but unused in the final. A TC called "The Last Warrior" used them. In 2008, ProAsm added an option to use it to his awesome SWP port.
