Well, im just about finshed with design of the map for the Krizon intro movie, still need to do some things here and there before messing with some code. If anyones been looking at my project and is interested, im in need of other talented people to join me. The number one area where i lack skill and pure interest is on the programming side, i understand a fair amount of DBPro, but not enough to implement what im planning. Please contact me, if interested or for info. Pic below.

Wow! This is great! Very Quake looking how many polys are you using for your map? It's very detailed and very good looking! Keep up the work!

Thanks guys. Currently the map showed there is about 2000 polys, likely when im done with that it will be no more than 4000. I havent really set a poly limit for myself, but im gonna be using a zoning and portal method like the Unreal engine does.

Earl you are correct, the blue texture is a temp dev texture so you'll see it in alot of my screenies. The whole world is textured with that and periodaclly i stop from modeling and texture some areas to get the mood and feel.

A lot of map pictures but not really anything in the way of gameplay I think you should focus more on your engine.

Hello guys. Im currently working on the H.U.D for the game. It very close to my intial concept. Im looking for some feedback before i go on. The only thing missing from it that will be there is next to the Sylo active box, there will be a small pic of all 4 Sylos and the one active will be highlighted as well. Heres a composite image of the H.U.D. Thanks for the comments.

Hello. Its been a long time since our thread has been up, so i thought i'd bring it some life again. Im posting some new screenies from the game engine.We are currently working hard at the engine and the beginning of the world of Krizon. This project has not died for anyone who might have thought so. We are working at putting out a demo in the near future and will be posting more then screenies. Currently on the project is myself, and two DB programmers. We are looking for some more talented people to join the team along the way. So if your interested in what you come across in this thread, please email me at AJR2764@hotmail.com for information. Thanks.

Franklin, i know that 32 seems low, but its capped at 32 thats why. That particular map runs at 72+ normally on my 3.2. We figured we could set the fps to 30 for now, and its running at 32 and very smooth also. We have alot of lee way right now in the beginning of the game, so later on we might have to cap the fps at a higher rate such as 60, but we strongly think we can make the game run smooth at way lower then that. Thanks for the comments.

Hmm... I don't know if I've suggested this before, but here goes.

72 on a 3.2 ghz computer with no effects or enemies is still a bit low. Everything you add, every particle effect and NPC will add to your system load.

Have you subdivided the level into object sections? The best way to do it is to divide the level in 3DWS into groups, lightmap, select a group, invert the selection, and delete everything else. Then export that single group as a .dbo file. Reopen the project and repeat with the other sections.

When you place the rooms, you'll place them all at the coordinates of the original level, because they'll be offset from the center already. No, no extra work for you.

You'll get a FPS increase since the engine won't have to render all of the level. It will render only the object that you see.


Come see the WIP!

Thanks for the information Cash. What your suggesting is sort of what we're doing, except your breaking down the map into smaller sections. We are doing zones, and that is zone 1 of the map. We're planning to have several zones that make up the entire world as .dbo objects and place them in the engine. Only rendering the zone the player is located at. The zone 1 map is about 3700 polys right now, of that 1200 has been reduced. Are you suggesting dividing the map into smaller sections?

I suppose you like the level design Keemo1000. I use 3DWS(formally Cshop)to do the level design. It takes alot of thought and time to create a large functional world. That first part of our world took a fair amount of time to construct the geometry, in addition to not having time always available to work on the proect how i'd like to. Thanks for your comment.

Hi everyone, I just finished discussing with Koolaid our plans for our upcoming first demo. We have a large list now of all the features we'd like to include in it, and so I've decided to begin posting progress updates. There are alot of smaller things I have not included but what follows are the core features.

Completed Already:

Player Movement
Camera Following Player
Player to Level Collision
Camera to Level Collision
Player Gravity
Switch between First Person Look mode and normle walking
Switch between running mode and walking mode
Shooting Bullets
Bullets Kill NPC's and play death animation
Basic player following AI and walk animation
Most of the basic sounds are now also implanted

Need to Complete:

Doors open and close
Buttons and Switchs control differant actions in the game world
Triggered Text pop ups which give information
Enemies attack player / player death
Enemie to Enemie collision detection

Set up the first enemie type (Mutant Hackler) so that it can only follow the player based on the players noise level.

We are working towards releasing a large demo in the near future (less then a month). It will include all of the core gameplay features as well as the first few levels of the game. We have had several new members join us recently so that should help speed up our progress.

I dont think you guys ever explained what this game was going to be. Is it a fps or a 3rd person shooter, where does it take place, any cool features about the game, or better yet what the game is about? Before I get sucked in, I would like to know what the game is about.

edit: oh yeah, and with scenes like those that are dark with lights, I recommend you make a real-time lighting system(it would make it so much better looking).

Thanks,
Homey

Krizon is a 3d action adventure in 3rd person perspective. Theres alot of information in the design doc posted originally. The game takes place on the planet Krizon in the newly discovered Cyber-Tech facility. A basic run down of the story is: Steve Rift uncovers information leading to a secret project being developed within the company he works for Cyber-tech. He ventures to the planet Krizon when he gets that information, when he arrives he is faced with more than he bargained for. The players ultimate goal is to figure whats going on and decide on what to do from there,these alien like creatures have breached the faciility strucutures...The game is sci-fi but with some modern and future elements in there as well.

Im posting the new version of the design doc im working on which is strucured better, you'll gain alot of knowledge from there. Its about 14 pages right now.Thanks.

Not tyring to be blunt but... Who here buys a game and reads the manual before playing the game ? Who here looks forward to reading a 14 page description of the game instead of playing and figuring as you go. To be honest, you should make brief and to the point. Hell, the Quake II story was generalized into several paragraphs.

I really think that 14 pages is going a little overboard,

Dont listen to Homey guys.

@homey - In most cases, not having a design document is a cardinal sin. Most games have very long and thought out design documents. It help you to visualise the eintire project, it isnt just the story. You'll learn that someday.

Looks good guys, keep it up.

Well, let me start out and say the design document i posted is not a game manual. I directed you towards it so people could get some information bout the game and see that this is a well thought out and properly planned game. I buy games and read manuals before playing indeed, to properly know how to play. You are confusing the design doc with a game manual Homey, the design doc is a powerful development tool, and it will be way more than the current amount. When the design doc is done it will have the entire game documented. No game company can produce a game without first doing a design doc. We are very professional about what we are doing and i go to school for game art & design.

Thanks, Greenlig for the comment

And ill paste the backstory of our game below now also.

Several years ago the government established the company known as Cyber-Tech. The company was setup for research and development of new and advanced forms of technology. Steve Rift has been working for Cyber-Tech for quite some years, and he works in the weapons division. He’s had strong suspicion of a secret operation taking place. A couple of days ago Steve discovered an inaccessible file and information about another facility on the planet Krizon.
