Nahh, I don't really fancy the fad of repeatedly reliving the "glory moments" of a 60 year old war, everyone's played them to the point where the dates of key events are frozen in place, there's little room for innovation in WWII IMO. Fixed guns, fixed locations and fixed dates...

I prefer inventing my own war, it gives unlimited freedom...

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.

Ok, here's a screen from a small test map I made to try out designs (to make sure they look good before I add them into my level, meaning I don't have to rip parts out again), it's a simple warehouse scene looking out onto a boarded but visible ruined backdrop...

It may feature during the run through the city as the player tries to escape under cover of night...

lol, I almost did that until I found the unofficial Fallout 3 Patch. I honestly love the work that team did to fix the game up, you should try it Toasty.

Anyways, that last screen shot looks a little dark, but since its night time I think it's fine. Plus, the outside looks plenty lit. Great job CG.

Thanks for the comments. Despite getting my Maths GCSE done a year early, I still have loads of schoolwork to do, and apparently I have to "hit the ground running" with it. This means that development will slow, but not stop. I only have to work on a few maps for Knxrb's project, then progress shall begin again...

Her's a new screen of a disused bathroom that was decommisioned before the Razing. Intermittent power was restored to this area when you reactivated the generators, lighting the way for you:

Uhh, which ones? They're probably the ones from Wolf's lovely new pack...

@Ekipshi + DxDragon

Yeh, I'm gonna get a three-level episode going, tweak and debug, then release this game in bits like that. Problem is my GCSE work has come down hard on me, so I'm getting alot of coursework and such taking up my time....

I'm still working on this though...

New screen, level two is being pulled together, and I'm rounding off the last parts of the design. Here's a part of the old station that was long abandoned, an atrium for the would-be passengers of the Red Line service...

Thanks, took a moment to work out what you meant there...

The shanty alley marks the end of level two, so after I finish tweaking level one and two and ironing out the bugs, I can get started on the third level, and hopefully have the first episode done...

It wasn't your english, that's understandable...

I'm planning for three to four episodes of three levels each. I still have to see how much the bigger levels will have to be cut up in order to keep a good framerate, so the exact number is still iffy...

'Nuther screen before I go, the warehouse you've taken refuge in has been mined by it's wary occupants, they will seriously mame you if you trigger or fire at them, so it's best to simply avoid them:

The glowing on the mines is from a shader by the way, I will fix it, I've only just modelled and textured the things...

Thanks Keith!

I've been taking a little break from this, but now I've started back, and with the awesome, shiny, (and free!) model pack 36, I've decided to continue and redo a few things...

Here's a couple of shots of an external area, unreachable by the player at this point, but since this test of concept looks so nice, I'm considering having areas like this that are player explorable, if framerate allows...

It's basically a slum area:

Thanks, the demo'll be released once I get through my list of stuff to do, which is:

*Bug test all the gameplay scripts,

*Tweak and Polish Level One,

*Tweak and Polish Level Two,

*Finish Building Level Three,

*Tweak and Polish Level Three,

*Find/Create Custom Menu Graphics,

*Find/Create Custom Soundtracks,

*Make the Trailer,

*Make the Animated Menu Background,

I'm going to release the game episodically. The first episode, Precarious Existence will contain the first three levels of the game...

Ok, here's another part of level Three, the last part of Precarious Existence. You're still moving through a landmined area that looks like it was once a large warehouse...

I find that the fog gives a great dusty and decrepit atmosphere in these kind of areas:

Looks great man! I agree with you, a little bit of fog does give your levels an abandoned atmosphere. What kind of FPS are you getting?
