Architectural Level Development - FPS Game Project *Update 02*

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



This is the second public update to my first person shooter style game in development. In the previous update I imported an earlier version of this map into the Unreal Development Kit and created a playable demo for anyone to try out. As you can see I have been adding lots of cool stuff including multiple levels, large industrial structures and lots more final details. I am hoping for more people to jump on board and help out with the development of this game, do not be put of by lack of experience, I myself am just a designer so these are my first steps into game developing. Here is more info from the first update... │ Stage 01 │ More Info and Demo Link http://youtu.be/LaxI8Rzl_hw Try out the Demo: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9k7JUeUa-ZkSWtERVdRVnB6eUE Fullsize Render images for blog posts and wallpaper uss: https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B9k7JUeUa-ZkZnRBV3dWQnJ6b0k Custom Assets Added: - Custom Designed Urban Architecture and Structures - Basic Urban Grey Concrete Textures To Do list: - Improve the level layout At the moment I have just mirrored the same group of buildings 4 times... - Additional Urban Buildings and Skyscrapers - Natural areas with Foliage and Forests - Nicer Sky-dome and Improve the Sunlight - Lighting for indoor areas - Decoration and Interior objects - Fracturing Glass windows - Custom Sound Effects and Music - Create animated Weapons - Create animated Vehicles - Create animated Characters - Create a Menu and Visual Graphics Remember this game will be free and anyone can offer suggestions, perhaps you have some better ideas? Game-type Idea: - A first person shooter or third person shooter (What do you think?) - Large varied maps (Natural and Urban Futuristic Spaces) - Online focused with as many players as possible (Perhaps a singleplayer bot arena) - Focus on Survival, Realism and Teamwork - No Perks or COD style stuff lol - Basically a good solid game aimed at mature players Possible Storyline: The story is up in the air at the moment so feel free to contribute with your own ideas. What I am thinking at the moment is a game set in futuristic urban streets set on an alien planet. The planet has been divided and over thousands of years two mainstream religions or beliefs have taken hold over the planet. So basically both sides have there own styles and ways of doing things. As this game will focus more on online gameplay, the story needs to come across through the level design and maybe even voice overs. Perhaps rather than having armies fighting each other the characters could be spiritual forms that can inhabit suits or armour and vehicles to posses each other, I don't know. :D Name Ideas: - Tribe System - Tribe Asylum - Infinity Project ...? Want to Contribute? - Use Google Sketchup (free) or another 3D program including UDK to create some models I can add into the game... - If you can do animation that would be a massive help, in need of some custom animated weapons and or vehicles... - You can share this project with friends... - Try out the demo and leave some feedback... - Suggest Improvements to gameplay or the story... User Suggestions: - ... Maxim1119 - "I'd be interested in helping out. Since this is on an alien planet, have humans gotten the ability to travel outside their solar system? Or is this about an alien civilization? Ie, aliens vs aliens rather than humans vs aliens? I like the idea of it being about aliens.... Ethereal beings who create inhabitable suits and objects sounds interesting. Maybe, since you don't like the idea of large fighting armies, it could be about two separate powerful families who lead their respective groups. The groups maintain somewhat an orderly society and yearly they hold arena matches to essentially show who the stronger group is. They decided to do this because in the past, they nearly wiped themselves out during a great war and so wanted to keep that from ever happening again by holding matches rather than all out wars. Arena designs could reflect old city type ruins and former great battle zones. One group group or party can resemble an aristocratic type family. Very rich, powerful, cunning, and influential. Their combat gear looks ornamental and beautiful with bright vibrant colors to represent them. The other group can resemble a type of Samurai society. Serving others above themselves. Very militaristic and orderly. Duty, honor, and self sacrifice are evident in the party's actions. Colors for them would match more earthy tones and slightly natural shades unlike their counterparts." - ... ? - ... ?

  1. Nice stuff, but why this music o_o
  2. Wow great design
  3. I've even been thinking of an intricate storyline involving refugees and an elitist group in a war for Planet Earth, but I still need to think about it and hear what you want :P
  4. :D so, did you consider the Post-Apocalyptic setting? I know there are plenty of games that work in those settings, but I think it could work pretty well with the type of game you're aiming for. I know I've had a lot of fun with the demo of the game, so when the full version is done, I hope I'll have even more fun! I wish I could help more, but meanwhile, I'll try and think about some more ideas :)
  5. Instead of "Infinity Project", the game could be called "project infinity"! sounds way cooler :P Or even "Project Asylum", then you could make the game have a Post-apocalyptic feel .)
