(yeah, i will make a logo without the numbers, just not now)


hey all, and welcome to the new and improved (i hope!) thread for my official ultimate fpsc contest entry, what lies beneath.
I have decided to completely re-make the game from the ground up, and the finished version will hopefully include voice-overs, puzzles, horror, and a gripping story.

to anyone who read my original what lies beneath thread:
this game will be un-modded
it will not be a zombie survival

STORY:

welcome to the orwegian institute, the finest suppliers of biotechnology and weaponry known to man, and the company at the forefront of the government's hit list. For years, the orwegian has been illegally selling weapons and biotech to terrorists, mercenaries and militiant groups, and the government has had enough. You are part of an elite mercenary team set up by the gvernment to do it's dirty work. your mission: get in, find enough evidence to convict the company, and get out.
All is going smoothly, until who enter a room with a group of scientests working at a desk. "welcome, i have been expecting you." the scientists words are unnerving. "I'm sure my little pets will enjoy a bit of sport, so good luck! even though it won't matter!" at this point everyone's guns are trainded on him. suddenly, the lights go out, screaming, running, breathing, howling, groaning, an explosion, the floor dissapearing beneath your feet, then... blackness.
When you come to, you are lieing in the rubble, a gaping hole in the roof aboe you, but no-ones there.
your team are gone.
your weapons are gone.
you are totally alone.
and that's just the prologue, wait until the story really starts...

What lies beneath is an atmospheric survival-horror game, focusing on fear, puzzles, and a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. (i hope!)

screenshot attached, C&C much appreiciated.

CURRENT GAME DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
(i have a month to make this game so this will be changing a lot)
PROLOGUE:10%
LEVEL 1:99(mapping done, voiceovers done, beta one to be released)
LEVEL 2:10%

LEVEL 4:0%

yeah, and to everyone, DARKEST DEPTHS IS NOT DEAD. unfortunately i cannot enter it into the contest as the genre is to sci-fi to be modernday, howver, once this is finished i will continue on darkest depths.

also, there are only 2 games i am working on, this, and darkest depths.

lol, no need to freak out. I'm simply saying that this sounds fun, and I'd hate to have it ruined with Metallica. Playing zombie games is much better with Bob Marley. Oh, yeah, and there's the illegality of it too. Anyways, the screens look great, especially that second one. Tone the yellow down, and the other will be great too!

I think he just admited it, and said that he won't do it anymore. And I am wondering who freaked out. He didnt.

Looking good shadowfire, way better then the other screens with the mod. I like it keep this up.

Are the segments in the second screen from Omegamer's segment pack? Because they're from some game, I don't remember what game, but someone said that somewhere...

My username is finnish, and it translated to english is: "CrazyIdiot" or something.

they are from omegamer's segment pack, keen eye.
who freaked out? i didn't freak out! why is everybody looking at me! i don't like it...
no i'm joking, it's just i'm a little jumpy after the ahhem, "original" what lies beneath kind of... died.

and i'm very sorry about the game switching, i can now deliver an official proclamation.

there are only two games i am making now:
What lies beneath
Darkest depths


progress updates:
i have gotten about 50% of the initial first level map done, it includes a crowbar, a torch (both aerrant ai) and a very heavy puzzles element.

i haven't added sounds and/or voiceovers yet, as i haven't finished the map.

unfortunately darkest depths needs to be put on hold for now, but it IS NOT DEAD.

Coming soon: what lies beneath.

Anyway, good luck

Ask Wolf to make a segment in his request thread. And sorry, I just misunderstood your post. When all you see here is text, then its kinda hard to tell someone's tone of voice or attitude. Anyways, I'm glad you can admit to a mistake like that, and now its all water under the bridge. (or however that saying goes.)

well, you know, sometimes people maek mistakes, i'm not being arrogant, it's just life.
Omegamer's segements will be removed and will probbably be replaced by wolf's. meanwhile, development continues and a recent sailing trip (of all places) actually gave me an idea for the level! the dockhouse was very creepy. yes, i am nerdy enough to spot potential game ideas while on a sailing trip.

Nothing wrong with getting inspiration from the surrounding locale
In fact that tends to make for a great game sometiems, which is why it's sometimes hard making a sci-fi game

Hope you can get those segments replaced, this looks great so far

lol, I see inspiration just about everywhere. Even in the crysis game box in front of me. On a unrelated not, my next game will take place in North Korea and you'll have nano-suits on! jk.

I wouldn't really trust a creepy looking dockhouse, can't wait to see it in-game.

UPDATE

the initial mapping for levl one is done, all that remains are the titbits, (little entities here and there, sounds, voices) one of the main things i am going to be putting into the game is the creepy voice of "the controller" (name is subject to change), the owner of the factory and the one who is "taunting you" throughout the game. anymore would be spoilers.

stay tuned for more screenshots.

right, level one is just about finished with... (cringe) voiceovers!
it's very short, as i only intended it to be a scene setter.
The voice overs are for the "controller", a creepy man who taunts you as you are going around the game, and eventually reveals the plot.

I'm gonna say this even though I've never seen the series "This sounds kinda like SAW". Your voice-overs are creepy and good.

yeah, i hate all those 10 year-olds who post nothing but "lol" or "gr8 XD" as the only thing they ever write.
one of my videos has over 100 comments, and about 90 of them contain the word "lol".
