Quote: "the only thing about the story that I don't get is what I am supposed to do. am I defending the people from the creatures?"
You are told what to do during the game. At first you are just supposed to get your radiation suit and take the transit system to the surface access. On your way back to the transit system after getting your radiation suit, the creatures attack the bunker. You'll find that your fastest way back is blocked, so the objective of the first level is getting to the transit system (The first level will contain 5 maps, the first 2 are in the demo). When you get to the transit system, you are told that you have to get to the machine on the surface and activate it.
Quote: "I would change the sound the pistol makes when shot though, it makes it not sound powerful at all."
I think it sounds powerful enough for the weakest weapon in the game. Also, it may sound different in the videos because the sound is compressed.
And the moment you've all been waiting for:
Nuclear Winter Demo 1
This is the first of what I'm sure will be many demos of Nuclear Winter. This demo contains the first two maps, two weapon types and three enemy types.
There are two .EXE files included. One is "Nuclear Winter.EXE". The other one is "Configure.EXE". Run "Configure.EXE" to adjust the graphic settings. The default settings are 800x600x32, V-Sync off, Highest Quality. If that's fine with you, don't bother running "Configure.EXE".
When the title screen appears, click to continue. You will be asked to create a player profile. Type a name for it and click on OK. Choose the one you created and click on select profile. (You can have as many profiles as you want). In the options menu, you can adjust the brightness, customize the controls, adjust the mouse sensitivity and invert the mouse.
Here are the default controls:
Move: W,A,S,D
Use: E
Jump: Space
Crouch: Left Control or C
Sprint: Alt
Flashlight: F
Fire: Left Mouse Button
