Game logic hardcoding about sh3redux HOT 3 OPEN

I suppose that was a necessity for the original engine because it was a PS2 game, with very limited RAM. and all

from sh3redux.

We can probably put some stuff, the level transitions for instance, in a simple file that is parsed on startup.
But for more complex game logic I agree with your suggestion to have a class per level. At first glance at least it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

I'd be inclined to think that too, that or they had the classic 90's Japanese programmer mentality of 'write once and don't bother about it if it works'. I suppose as well this took a lot of work away from the artists, so they were free to just work on their art instead of any kind of game logic.

Yeah I like that idea. I think we're going to have to do some 'offline' like this to save a lot of global hardcoding. It's unfortunate that this might take a lot of playthroughs to achieve.
