Level names in Oni are hardcoded into the engine for some reason. The cool side effect of this choice is that levels that were removed from the game still have their names assigned to certain level numbers: | |||

The second pic is the clearest shot we have of the pre-beta blood feature, in all its blocky red glory. it may have simply been a very low-res texture, but based on how it appears in the '99 trailer, it may have been a dynamically-mapped stenciling system which was also used for the pre-beta's real-time shadows. This screenshot also shows how guns used to have very pronounced smoke effects when shooting walls; in the final product, the smoke effects from bullets hitting walls is so de-emphasized it's almost invisible. Finally, note the old version of Konoko's Equalizer, which appears to be a popular model even with enemies. | |||
