KINGPIN 101

Crime thriller FPS Kingpin was possibly the first game of its kind to use coloured directional lightning and it further benefited from the outstanding worldbuilding acumen of Viktor Antonov. But it wasn’t without its quirks.

One problem stands out. Character models interact with light oddly, meaning their skins wobble under illumination or, as Dan Koppel puts it, “Look as if they’re covered in water.”
