Author: BlackFox

Updated: 30-Mar-2010

Mod: RPG Mod

Storyline:

With the violation of the Versailles Treaty and once political consolidation (Gleichschaltung) was in place, German military leaders began to plan an offensive to fund their war efforts. As they prepared to battle their enemies on many fronts, they were secretly planning raids on various mines and tombs, which contained gold and artifacts to fund their war efforts. With many gold caches scattered throughout the country, they believed they would be able to tip the scales of power in their advantage. After all gold had been collected, they would have the ability to create their ultimate war machine, and take over the world once and for all.

You are Sgt. Kirlano, Troop Sergeant of the 3rd Brigade in the US Army. With the location of a German bunker confirmed, HQ has devised a plan to use you for secret missions behind enemy lines. Your mission is to gather all documentation, maps, and other items that may detail the German plans. In addition, you are to take all gold and artifacts you encounter. Slow the Germans down by any means necessary. Report back to HQ any information you find.

Infiltration: Level 01

Navigate through the enemy tunnel system to locate the underground mine. Locate each T# switch sign, which opens the remote door for each tunnel. Be certain to grab the radio and maps. Good luck.

WW2- Germany's Uprising Demo

Developer's Notes:

This is the first game we began to work on when we purchased FPSC. The story of this game focuses on events "behind the scenes" during the battles of WW2. Upon writing the storyline, we decided to break the game into three parts. WW2- Germany's Uprising is part one of three, and will contain 10 levels. Once completed, we will be on part two which will focus on another military army other than Germany during that time period.

I like that map thing, but the game needs something to work on still. It's all stock and you can get a lot of free stuff around here, the rooms could be more populated with entities... STATIC entities. And lighting is kinda bland too. What's your ambience?

Thanks. I am trying to sift through our inventory to see what "entities" we can use to place. Even trying to run a pipe system in the corridor.

The ambience is set to 7 and I'm using a grey light.

Keep ypur ambience at that. And use different variations of lightts for different places. Make the lighting look interesting, cause it is a big part of a game. But I like your huds, the map thing and this game seems interesting in many ways.

Looks good
Tips:
1. Download the mp40 with hands. Also download the other ww2 guns that have hands.
2. (shameless add) Buy my Kar98k from my website ($3.00) and I'll send you the Tommygun with hands that I did for you
3. I have planes in GCS if you need them

@ Arctek

I enjoyed the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. That gave me the idea to create this game with the "behind the scenes" feel.

@ General Jackson

I will definately do the research to d/l mp40. If it's part of a model pack, we'll have to get it.

@ PW Productions

Yes, we are using the pack you sent us. Level 7 I believe is the destroyed town level and features your work.

I'll be adding more screen shots for the rest of the levels soon.

Cheers

I did construct the installer and forgot to remove the flag to set the directory as default. I fixed that and recompiled the demo. Now you can choose a directory.

Thank you for pointing that out. Appreciate you taking the time to let us know of this oversight.

That first post makes all the difference. It's great to see that people are actually taking note on how they appear to others. The game itself is coming along really well, it looks, and I'm looking forward to playing a fully polished game in the future. Keep up the great work, Foxes.

Update: 23-Feb-2010

We have updated our WW2- Germany's Uprising Demo. There have been a few additions to the first release:

- Changed the look of the map (see first post)
- Added a video scene when you start a new game
- Added a video at the end that gives the credits
- Updated the help hud showing keys used in the game

Development for this game presses forward. We currently have 85% of level 7 completed and have already drafted out the next 3 levels in our notebook. After we come up with title names for the 3 levels, we will be working on the development of the two sequels to this game.

Installation Notes:

If you have the previous version installed, you should uninstall it first before installing the new demo.

Download:

The download is posted in the first post.

Cheers

Ooh... I like the snazzy map idea , as well as the huds, they are cooool!

I just think to improve you could add a little more to the rooms. Perhaps some more entities

But still, really really nice!

The pop-ups are great; and it has an all-around solid feel to it. Really reminded me of a 3D version of the original Wolfenstein!

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. This has been a real test for us in developing this game. With so much information available, we need to ensure that everything flows well.

I will be adding screen shots from the next levels soon, including our level 07 which is a destroyed town. We are very pleased with the results so far and have our storyline in place for the two sequels.

Cheers

Nice screens, like the look of it. The lighting is maby tad bland, but at the same time, i think it actually works with this game. I like how it's not over (s)crapped with all kind of random entities. The map is still friggin' cool idea. It definelty has a Wolfenstein-ish fell to it (now you only need objects that always face you, no matter how you turn)

Looks OK, like the huds and the map thing on the first post. Lighting looks rather bland TBH; The stock white lights really spoil the screens.

In screen number 2, with the light on the ceiling, the stock white out of that really isn't good: Try a hex-code like 98d9fc on that particular entity.

Also, make sure you set the ambience to a very low value. Not 0, that makes lighting effectively impossible in larger areas, but below 20 or so.

Level 04: German Base Entrance

In this level, the player exits the mine after discovering there is a German base. After gaining entrance to the base, the player needs to locate documents and an important book, which contains some key notes to the German plans.

Liking the new screens! I love that "book" thing and the map thing! Rreally great work! The lighting somehow fits to this game, don't know why, but it kinda does. The outdoor scenes could use some lighting thou. Other than that, nice job. You will get better when making, I can already see some progress on your design

Thanks

@ AbdulAhad

We are using RPG Mod for this game. It has excellent fps, and Flatlander did a great job on this mod.

@ Metal Devil123

The maps and book worked out great for us. In the beginning we had just one map. Now I have the script providing the ability to cycle through multiple maps if they are available in that level. The book works the same way. To add realism to the game, we decided to put the text in German. Hopefully I remember my German correctly

Im giving this demo a high mark becouse im in the credits,lol, but realy.The only 2 things I have to say is.

one:you need to kill all your trigger events after they have happened, like when I collected the to do list, I can acsess this any time, so the trigger event should not take place any more. when i got lost and ended up in the begining the event happend agien, this made it fill a little well, bad. its not bad so dont get me wrong, the game is real good.

two:the graphics are bad, not the real game play but the menu, it streached on my screen making it look real low quality. try to make the menu sized smaller.

three: the in game movies are well, not that good, being done in fpsc it makes it look as the actors are just standing there not really talking, if your going to do it this way then give them a more still animation to where there not moving there heads all around. or do what i do and get iclone or use 3ds max for your movies.

other then thease three things I enjoyed playing it, it reminded me of the james bond games made for the nintendo system.

one other point is fpsc has really bad start up graphics, this means that just drop in and play you will end up with bad looking game play. To fix this add some lights with a little blending to kill the bad grapics issue. what i do is i use 2 difrent blends of colored lights in the same room to make it look dim and bring some reality in it. then i will set the dynamicshadows=0 to 1 in the setup game script in the built games folder. hope thease little things help.

my score with this game is a 4 from 4 out of 5. 5 being the best 1 being the worst.

ps. good scripting

Are you referring to the Objective hud when you first start? I could have killed this trigger, but I also thought if I left it and you did get lost, seeing the hud come up would tell you "hey I went the wrong way because this is the beginning" I could kill it after it displays at the first start.

Quote: "the in game movies are well, not that good, being done in fpsc it makes it look as the actors are just standing there not really talking"


It was more or less a demonstration on how to have a video play in the beginning. We will be creating a new version of it down the road, and it will be completed when this WIP wraps up.

I appreciate the tips <scribbles in notebook> and will definitely try these out.

Thanks. We've learned a lot from various people, including Plystire, Xplosys, and Marc Steene on the scripting. That's what led to the ending Credits video, our acknowledgement to all that have made media and such for us developers. Without all of you, we could not make this game happen.

Update: 25-Mar-2010

WW2- Germany's Uprising has been updated. With the full integration of RPG Mod, we have redone the demo and level 1 screenshots. You can view the new screens in the first post, as well as download the new demo.

Added: 30-Mar-2010

We will be requesting this thread locked, as there will be no more posts made on the game. It is now going commercial and development is completed. We will now be working on the sequels to this game title.
