HMS Diptera


Story

On the 23rd of July, 2139 the Union of Planets was formed between the Human race, the Amaticus race, the Terax race and the Yulan race; with the Human race being the least technologically evolved and least influential although possessed a strong bond with much related Terax humanoids. Trade routes were established between all races and borders with decreed. Due to the nature of the treaty, no military knowledge was to be shared with the Human race as they were seen unfit to manage weaponry not produced by them, as it was seen to powerful for them to use responsibly. Furthermore, all races were forbidden to position any military in Human space unless an outside threat was posed to the Human race.

Due to these restrictions many of humans felt reluctant to continue diplomacy with the other races, although in the interest of the planet most governments agreed to remain part of the Union. The Worldwide Security Forces arose in 2043 in outcry of restrictions on military knowledge. At first, they began as a militia restricted to Earth, however secretly supported by several Earthly governments they gained interstellar capability and began to steal technology from the other races. The other races of the Union set up an investigation and come to the conclusion that the WSF was not supported by the Earthly governments as a whole. They were declared a terrorist threat and with the support of the other nations, were all expelled from all territories under their control. Still unknown to the Union of Planets is where there main base of operations is now, however they frequently launch attacks on military installations of all races. They also often perform petty attacks on transport vessels and civilian transports demanding ransoms, in some hope of one day returning to Earth in seclusion from the other races.

My name is john Reid, just last year I was stationed as a SecureSafe security guard on the HMS Diptera which was exposed to an unknown source of radiation wreaking havoc on the ship. Due to my resourcefulness of the situation and performance in combat I was contracted by the Earthly military as a rifleman in the infantry. Furthermore, due to my experience on interstellar vessels I’ve been assigned to the HMS Wotan, a prison vessel for human criminals. Been stationed here for just under 6 months now. The most unexciting job I’ve ever had. Ah well, at least on leave I get a space bonus allowing me to take my family over to a border world away from all the politics.

7. Will this be updated a lot?
8. If you need help with anything gun related i will try my best to help if you want it

well, the game isnt really related to one another, just this story and universe has been created around the one from HMS Diptera. I am hoping them to be similar, but the actually gameplay isnt really related.

Quote: "1. Love the Hud!
2. Good weapon choice"


thanks, i wanted the HUD to be different, so I added the targeting thing in, which involves a lot of HUDS and a lot of scripts

Quote: "3. How do you make your signs? Like in the first picture? Im just wondering of course!"


the sign is actually from cosmic prophets scifi pack 3, i edited the texture and made the maps to make it shader ready. they all use the shader that the plaque uses from the metro theatre model pack. i can upload the .psd of the texture if you want.

Quote: "4. Story sounds amazing!"


thanks

Quote: "5. When is a demo coming out? XD"


i have no idea. i hoping that this whole project wont take more than like 1-3 months.

Quote: "6. The last screenshot is awesome! It seems a little empty, but i don't really care.."


hehe, im trying not to make it too cramped, cause i wont to keep the chance of errors during building as low as possible. i use v1.16 so i cant see the memory cap when im testing.

Quote: "7. Will this be updated a lot?"


urm, i wasnt planning on updating this as much as most other WIP's but i suppose if it gets enough comments i will. xD

Quote: "8. If you need help with anything gun related i will try my best to help if you want it"


well, i could do with a couple of reloading sounds for both of them guns? also, i see you have yourself a website, feel free to design on for the HMS series if you wish

feel free to record anything of mine and upload it. in fact i have a project that i wouldnt say is as good as HMS Diptera, but i'd say that its still a bit better than most one the forums, how would you like to record yourself playing that and upload it? its my defy the odds comp entry. would you mind doing that for me?

thanks,

-Ben

I like the HUD, very snazy.

Though, I will say, the environment doesn't have the feel of a space ship really. I mean, if you think about it, if you were designing a real space ship, you'd try to cram everything you could into the smallest area you could right? That way it'll cut down on costs of launching it into space and what not.

That said, I love having the planet outside the windows inside the common room, that was spiffy.

I send you some less annoying footstep sounds next time in MSN.

Looks very good other than that
I'm actually surprised. It has a really nice spacy feel to it.

It's okay i don't really need it! Thanks for the offer though!

Quote: "hehe, im trying not to make it too cramped, cause i wont to keep the chance of errors during building as low as possible"


Same as my game, i want it to look filled but not to go over the memory cap, etc..

Quote: "well, i could do with a couple of reloading sounds for both of them guns?"


Well i have some questions to that question:
1. Is this game going to be commercial? If not i have some sounds that you can use but they can not be sold with anything
2. When i get the time im hoping to make some sounds on my own, it should be maybe next week or so? If you want to wait i can make some free to use sounds?

Quote: "also, i see you have yourself a website, feel free to design on for the HMS series if you wish"


Umm, i don't really get what you said there. Feel free to design? What?

Quote: "feel free to record anything of mine and upload it"


COOL BEANS

Quote: "how would you like to record yourself playing that and upload it? its my defy the odds comp entry. would you mind doing that for me?"


Awesome! I would love to do that!!! I need some more games on my channel I have not uploaded all of Alpha Project because it takes about 3 hours to render and upload at 720p. But it looks so much better at that resolution! Anyways, Thank you Ben!!

But he said this is not going to be a sequel?

He meant design a webpage for the HMS series. (His game, HMS Diptera, HMS Wotan, etc etc...) I think.

The game is looking really good so far.

My plan for today: 1. Wake up. 2. Live 3. Go to sleep.

yeah, i was wondering which style to go with, but i thought id go a bit more unique. besides its in the future where spaceships are just like cars and its a miltary ship funded by the whole earth, money isnt really a problem

@Exu: I was thinking a whole brand new website for the series. it doesnt have to have a proper domain, just a free one cause i know that they arent free. i can do it myself, just i thought that your site looks better than anything i've ever done. :L so, basically i just a need a complete new website.

also, this game will be non commercial, so any sounds that you have will be greatly appreciated

expect an email soon with an exclusive installer.

Okie dokie. Im actually working on the M4A1 and the 1911 right now, once i get the right sounds i will send them your way (you can change them if you don't like them)

For HMS Wotan? Or something else :/ Im currently rendering another Weapon test and it has taken like 2 hours Then i have to upload it to Youtube. Once that is finished i will render another part of Alpha Project and will start recording HMS Diptera. Or would you like me to do a different game first?

Oops, haha my bad! Alright im downloading it now and should start recording soon!

NOTE: For some reason when i try to render the second part of Alpha Project it gives me an error. So i will record and upload your game before i try and fix the problem with Alpha Project.

NOTE2: I will send the sounds over when they are finished (20 minutes maybe?) The 1911 is almost finished and i still have to work on the M4. But other than that they are fine.

NOTE TO THE FORUM: WHY DO PEOPLE NOT USE MEDIAFIRE? Like really? It makes it so much easier to download, you don't have to do a million things just to download a file. I think the forum should make it MANDATORY to use mediafire for downloads. DONE

I just realized that after i posted this. I should have said Mediafire or Megaupload (or does that have a limit too?) I will wait for the download, just it get's annoying you know?

Im going to be sending you a message soon as i do not want to keep talking on your thread.. So anything not related to your game will be send in an email. So check your inbox soon

It looks great and everything, but it looks like Dipitera vol.2 You should make something in Wotan that seperates it from Dipitera, but that's just my opinion, and maby you have something in your sleeve that you havent' just given any info of yet. But keep on going, it all looks good

Very impressive work.
I really love CoZ's shaders, sadly they don't react with lighting properly.

I think I may have a bloom shader that might make that skybox look outstanding, it blooms out only the very, very brightest part of the scene and the bloom is really blurry and soft so I decided it would be best used for skyboxes. I've uploaded a video of it onto youtube to show it.

Tell me if you're interested
