Here is a project that Nathan (LT Tatters) and I have been working on for 4 months. It is called Drugs kill. It was originally an IGD exclusive project, but since Nathan's departure of IGD, I have moved it here.

Name: Drugs Kill

Story: Where I lived, drugs were used by everyone... And I mean stuff like crack, weed and ecstasy. I never really got into that stuff, it's a good thing to. Look where I am now, running away from... From... I have no idea what I am running away from, all I know is that I better keep running. I guess it's better than being one of them. Apparently a new and "improved" drug was being sold by dealers, it started about three months ago. It changed people... It mutated people. I guess that's what they deserved, all of them. My parents always told me drugs kill...

Progress:
Level 1: 100%
Level 2: 100%
Level 3: 100%
Level 4: 50%
Level 5: 100%

Level 1 Trailer: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9qTcTFK2Y

I liked the video, my only concern would be that the stairway zombie was a little poorly done.

The first zombie which spawned behind you was fine: It was in a long corridor with lots of cells and shadows for the zombie to hide in. (Mabye open one cell up for the player to look into, bloodsplat on the floor etc.)However, on the stairwell the zombie appears out of nowhere. A player looking behind him would just see the zombie popping into existance very suddenly. Spawn him from the shadows and:

A: It will look much more realistic.

B: If enemies spawn from the shadows, people will be much more tentative going through the levels, looking at all the shadowy areas.

Thanks for the comments guys. There might be a level one demo, but the game will be released soon anyway.

@Butt Monkey, Level one has since been edited. I have added a few more zombies and thy all pop out of shadows. Plus, we now use bond1's zombie.

Any of the questions will have to go to Nathan, as of tomorrow I will be gone for 11 days.

Un post un doubla(french for double post I think?)

A renders of 3dmodel.
It is a vent that the player will be able to find ammo in or somthing like that, kind like a scene where the vents have fallen down and the player finds a weapon or somthing inside.



More to come, I think I may do a broken wall?

If you want good tips on how to make a zombie infested fell in an overrun city, then download the Half-Life 2 demo and play the second level in it, We don't go to Ravenholm, trust me, it scared the [brown matter] outta me at some points, I personally thin Valve are the kings of FPS level design, nver had any problems with Half Life, (other than that see-saw trick, )......

If you don't think you need inspiraion download it anway, it's fun as hell, when it doesn't scare the [brown matter] out of you....

I have returned, after 28 days of exile, fear me!

But I have some scare plans for the game, I Had a Idea where there is water and then you walk up and a Zombie wakes up and appears infront of you, I saw this trick on Route kanal chapter made me bunnyhop.

I must agree. But if your a Xbox 360 user and are going for the achievement where you must use the Grav. Gun all the way through, man I get scared because they corner you and you have to escape from them, and I was like oh god no! I most probably in fear as my xbox messed up and it look like one of the zombies was humping me.lol

So, Tatters do you have a cutscene we may see, the cutscenes and cinimatics really interest me and its a must in the games i make and your the first person that i know of that has cutscenes for your games on these forums.
Unfortuently i cant make cutscenes for a good 3 months because the third installment of Iclone is coming out. And im Planing on waiting for that, It looks amazing i dont know if you have heard about the new one but if you want you can go to my profile and one of the threads is titled
"finally a great program to make cutscenes" its really interesting and is Cheap!

ThankX

Thanks rofly, also punk13, I dont have cinematics yet, were still in level design, but if you go onto youtube search for Tatters620 there is a video called city 17, its a machinema I did it shows some stuff I'll be doing for this project, but they'll be better with the light rays(oops.) and also better colour definition.
Also I use sony vegas movie studio8.0, I never used Iclone
Also I always use cutcenes if im not in a rush to get the game finsihed, its fun and enoyable and adds more dilema and also cliffhangers, like somthing like this.

"*camera moves downwards viewing broken buildings, it stops on ground level and stays still as dust flys bye*
*our main actor walks close to the camrea and stops, you can only see the legs.*
*our camera looks up to see our actors face as he looks around.*
*the camre is then view by a infected yet fast zombie, it howls as the camera shakes around in a furious fast rage.*
*then our actor turns around to fire, but he is cornerd into a back alley as he fires rounds piercing the fast zombies infront*
*he then starts to climb objects to get away, but he is pulled down, the camrea is viewing both him and the zombies.*"

thats a plan for a cinematic, but not one in this, it would require lots of animation, which I cant do .

-Nathan.

Yes i agree, and that idea for a cutscene sounds great but is to challenging, especially for a FREE game.

uhm, well lets see: combines? Rebels? City17?
Uhm...No, I made city 17 in hl2 with some console commands and fraps(full fraps: I love to boast about my full fraps )
I made it in Hl2, also the arch games splash is for my games that are made by me only, made in 3dsmax.
But city17 is the quality I'll be doing the videos, but a bit better, also anyone know the best format for hi-res videos that work with fpsc? i use MOV with sony vegas because AVI just exports out wrongly, just sound with AVI ='(
But I could use WMM to import the MOV and export it as AVI, I use to use WMM and was okay at it too.

I wont have cinematics for awhile, but Level 2 had to be re-created due to a corruption, but it de-corrupted itself? so I may use level2 "Bad" and make a small demo sometime soon so this thread aint locked, also there wont be mp9/10 weapons, I hate mp9/10 never brought them, so it'll be the stock with hands, but it'll give a taste of my level design, just let me finish it up tommorow with cinematics and such.
also whats SMS 8?

--Edit--
Oh wait? SMS 8 means sony movie studio, next time just stick with Sony vegas, caused some confusion because I`m not good with mobile phones but there's somthing along the lines of a sms on them?

But I dont animate in sony vegas, all I do is put things toghether add effects, and crop some stuff aswell to fit in the scene, and also transtiitons, but I can add Muzzle flahses, but there are not tuts over how to do them in Movie studio only vegas 8.0.

no, Hl2 is HALF LIFE 2!
but yeah soon I'll use photoshop. and adobe premire, I used it, didnt like it and went for vegas, and after effects is a nice tool to.
But I'll also be using combustion4 had it for awhile. also: Two words: Autodesk expensive
But combustion is realy great, also PS could be used as a after effecter with the abbility to import AVI.

Wow, I was wondering if you had that zombie on the staircase spawn, then I read down a little, and now I know you did.

That's damn clever of you, I would have never thought of that. Yes, I appreciate small things like that in games, although it may not be that small...anyways, good job and good luck!

Thanks inspire.
This is my first "full" game that`ll I'll be doing so i`m looking forward to this too.
Also I`ve been working on two texture variations for the monitor, but im afraid I may have to re-uv map it, it screwed up a little.
Should of got that uv accuratly.
but at the moment it looks good for my first UVmapped texture.

Screenage soon over the weekend of more level4.

Okay guys, I'm back. I have also started level 5. I really hope this lives up to your expectations. Maybe once we are finished (and if we get good reviews) we will try for a BOTB.

@Valkynaz, Thanks. We have put a lot of planning into this and I will still be adding a few more scares.

@Inspire, Thanks.

@Everyone, Glad you like what you see so far.
