Hi guys,
Here is the Link for the DS RCdemo.Please remember that it is very short,and is taken from a product still in development. It's main goal is to show the atmosphere and level design,NOT to scare you stupid (the real demo will do that).I am posting the link publicly,so I expect all testers to download (e.e inspire,Opposing force,Jiffyetc),and leave feedback/comments/reviews on this thread. Wait for the counter to reach zero on the page before clicking download. Also,this game is protected by the Phoenix Gmae protection System,so do not attempt to rip any media out of the game. It isn't possible. Please remember to extract the file to your desktop,and close all running apps before playing. I look forward to your feedback

Anyway enjoy guys!!

I have a bit of a problem. First of all, I closed everything and selected the icon from the folder. Opened up, blah blah (like what you've done with the loading bars) then said that firefox.exe was still running. No problem there, Ctrl+alt+delete, processes, Firefox.exe, end. I happily went on again, selected play, blah blah... then it says 'possible violation. please do not attempt to open folder files during game play' I copied the shortcut to my desktop and closed the folders. Selected the shortcut, and ran the game. Same problem, and the folders aren't open. Hmmm?

A window is popping up after you start the game. If you have any background software that can generate a pop-up window, you'll get a violation message. Phoenix is very strict.

What virus software do you use?

@Gamz: Phoenix game protection is VERY strict. Your best option is to restart your system,reboot,and then play. Also,turn of your anti-virus. This should stop windows popping up.Also,try turning off all processes that you don't need e.e spyware software. If one of theese suggestions work,I shall upload the FPS pack compilled version for you.

NOTE: PGP need .net2 framework to run
You can download it here if you do not already have it

Downloading now, I'll tell you what I think when I'm done playing.

Edit:Short demo, but good nontheless! Creepy atmosphere, and the "Sightjacking" feature you talked about works great.

Excellent! I downloaded the demo and it was great! Here is my review...

Good points: Quite a lot actually. The overall atmosphere that the game created, was well executed. The music went well with the game and set that eerie mood. The choice of music for the loading screen really built up my anticipation along with the writing. As soon as I started, I felt connected to the level. I looked around and read the document on the table and it helped me understand the loading screen "story" better. I then noticed the door and opened it. When I went throught the doorway, the game paused for a few seconds and I actually expected a video clip, but at the same time I was scared, because I didn't know when it would start, and what it was. I nearly pissed myself when the eye suddenly appeared with the high pitched scream. I got nervous as the scenes changed and then I slowly regained confidence until that awful eye appeared again, lol. That really did scare me. I then braced myself for more and continued with the level. Further down, the level design was still great and the dark areas still looked as though they concealed some nasty who was about to jump out at you. I found the pistol and the first thing I noticed was the absence of an ammo counter. This worried me because I had no idea how much ammo I had and it could run out at any time (I had a thought of seeing a zombie, me pressing fire, no gun shot and walking around, in terror with a "thing" following me!) Since I now had a gun on me, I expected a zombie, or was it there as a tool? To shoot something perhaps? I continued my journey and found a locked door. I then began searching for the key and found it quite close. I then picked it up and turned around, only to recieve my second jump. I reacted quickly and shot the Ba..erm, person. He was gone, but I still had that feeling that there were more about. I explored the level a bit more, using the glock as a torch. I really admired the overall layout of the level and the lighting was top notch! Soon the level came to an end, and I played it again just incase I missed anything. Really great start for something that has a really great potential, well done. I will most definetly be making those meat models now

Bad points: Not that many actually. The only really let down was seeing that zombie surgeon, It's a good model but an alternative texture would of made the effect even better. Also the glock weapon pickup ruined the feel for the level (its appearence as a pickup), I don't know if this is possible, but can you make weapon pickups appear less bright, or was it intentional, so the player could see it? Anyway, those minor points don't affect the way I feel about this excellent use of FPS Creator. Well done, great effort, and hopefully the full game will be just a good, if not better than what has just made my day, today

Thanks Opposing Force,Im glad you liked it.

Quote: "It's a good model but an alternative texture would of made the effect even better."

I agree. I would of used the Hl2 zombie with that awsome texture that you made,but there seems to be some sort of wierd collision problem with his feet,he sinks into the floor,up to his ankles. I am also rubbish at texturing characters. I might ask someone to try and make me a alternate texture for the character.
Quote: "can you make weapon pickups appear less bright"

If you lower the texture brightness on the pickup,then yes. But I perposely placed a brighter light over the table so you could see the gun.
Anyway,im Glad you liked it. I also would of loved to see your face when the video clip started,I bet that was a classic!!

Thanks for the review. Lets just hope Gamz,and Inspire liked it as much as you did,im aiming for a 100% positive feedback reccord lol

WOW I LOVED it! The sounds and images really went well together. Only downside is that the zombies moan was to loud. The sightjacking was awsome as well. I loved it! 9/10 for being too short, sound problem, typos, and a little bit too dark.. But over all, very well done!

out of 10

Wow very nice atmosphere. SOme one has to do something about those stock FPSC steps though, because they cause so much lag in almost any game. That was my main complaint. The other is the cheesy scream when the zombie spawns. It just doesn't fit IMHO. It takes away from the great ambiance that you've created.

Thanks everyone for the comments and quotes.

@Disturbing 13: Im going to change that scream soon enough. I just used it as a place holder. I myself didn't realize that the FPSC stairs caused Lag,but maybe thats because I am running two graphics cards in SLI mode.Anyway,I shall send a email to lee regarding the stair problem.

Glad you liked it

it turns out its raised a bout one unit too high causing a "leakage". FPSC runs better in an enclosed enviroment rather than open. In all accuality there are far too many pollys in stairs like that also, especially in the situation your in. Notice you dont see the sides or back of the stairs? Well that's allot of wasted pollys. I may post my low polly version for enclosed staircases soon.

I played it, and everything looked fantastic. The zombie surgeon ruined the atmosphere though. I can retexture any available character into a grossly mutilated version if you want.

@Rilejarom: I am making a Demon Sun forum/site and I am due to upload it.


Inspire: Thanks,im glad you liked it. I would be very greatful if you could retexture the surgeon into a more bloody freaky texture!!. I just purchesed the creeps and freeks model packs,So I shall be using some of those models in the game aswell!!.


NOTE TO EVERYBODY: I am going on holiday tomorrow to America for two weeks,so I won't get a chance to develop the game when Im away. But when I return,I shall continue as Normal. I am hoping to buy a Geforce 8 card out there for $100-ish.

Anyway Bon Voyage

See you when I return!!!
