hello everyone, you may remember me from my "darkest depths" horror survival game i brought out a few weeks ago, and now i have a new project... strike force delta (name is subject to change) an on-the-rails action game.

i decided to scrap escape as my game and instead make this, an action packed on-the-rails fps withlots of explosions and intense gunfights.

story: you're invading a terrorist base in what can only be described as the most over-used plot line ever! (with the possible exception of zombie-virus)

screenshot attached!
demo coming soon!

current work
(out of 6 levels)
level 1: beta finished
level 2: w.i.p
all other levels i am yet to start
................
EDIT
here is the download link, as with all my games, the full version will be 100% free.

here's another screenshot, and in case any of you ask, "why on the rails?" i thought i might add a bit of originality to my game, and make it a bit more intense.

Sounds like it.

They're pretty easy to make as well.

Wow, that is awesome! 2 main things though

Give the lift beneath the player a complete black texture, u know, so it's invisble

Also, you may want to spawn the enemies out of sight, so they don't just materialize out of thin air

Other than that there's nothing i can find wrong, this is sweet, cannot wait to play more!

All the best!

Just give it a texture that is just completley black
u know 0,0,0,0

FPSC takes pure black as transparent so if you make the whole thing pure black the whole thing is transparent

Hope this helps!

All the best

so do you just type in 0,0,0,0 to the texture box and it'll be transparent?

No the RBG of the texture needs to be 0,0,0
R:0
B:0
G:0

So go into a program like paint.net and get the texture to be completely black (0,0,0)

(Ah, parsnips beat meh to it! ) oh lol, what i meant by 0,0,0,0, that's the numerics for the color you would see in a color picker in a program like GIMP or photoshop.

You have to create an image that is all pure black, even just in MSPaint, just make sure its pure black any size and apply it to the lift. Shaders do not have to be on

Hope this helps!

All the best

Pretty good though I had trouble starting the platform and then I would frequently fall off and after 5 min off getting nowhere I got frustrated and deleted it. Good concept and level layout though!
[off topic] so you play Combat Arms??? I used to [off topic]
