Long ago, in the mists of time, there was a young programmer who got bored of trying to find interesting games to play (even though he found some anyway) so he decided to make himself a game. This game, was John... (And that young programmer was me.)
Just over 1 and a half years later, after the 7th version of John was released, Soharix decided to make a new John, a better John, a Recre(ation) of John.
So they started making Recre John.
Recre John is obviously not finished yet otherwise it wouldn't be in the WIP thread. But it is nearly ready to be released. Some key functions and important aspects are yet to be in the game but the bulk of the game and the 9 single player levels are finished:
At the end of the original John, John rids earth of the aliens force that decided to take it apart in small cubic shapes. Since then, the world was rebuilt and John given a new home, in a large town.
His adventure starts at his home in "Town 12". (We actually would have called it "City 17", because 17 is a cool number, and it is more of a city than a town but no. Valve decided they'd use City 17 in Half-life 2.
So we had to settle for Town 12.)
Along the way, John has to collect Nick's missing hotdogs that somehow managed to get scattered all over the town and the surrounding areas.
Not everyone treats heroes like heroes though, John has to dodge the wreckless inhabitants of the Town 12 province.
John finds himself in many different environments around Town 12 as Nick's missing hotdogs seem to be everywhere.
John also encounters many NPCs who are always open for a friendly chat. There are 12 NPCs in the game who help to explain the story as you go along.
Aside from the gameplay, the maps have had a large amount of work put into them, by, myself, to make them look as good as possible, but still possess a certain cartoony atmosphere about them.
Recre John includes 8 amazing levels and 1 final endscene level.
It includes several detailed environments.
It will include a cooperative gameplay mode, where you and someone else (on the same keyboard (splitscreened)) can play through the game together.
It will include an oposition gameplay mode, where you can challenge your oponent (on the same keyboard (splitscreened)) to a game of collect the hotdogs.
It will feature loading and saving of games and an options menu with hopefully, customisable controls.
Recre John should be available when it is released for £5 or less.
