UPDATE!!! New Mini Demo released... Download [81.2MB]

STORY
In 1874, Thomas Greep created an elite team of mastermind thieves and assassins, that would work for whoever payed his set price. The team was extremely effective, and it was not long before they had accumulated large amounts of money. Over the years the team grew larger, and more skilled as generation after generation of pure 'Greep' blood created superior criminals.

On the 3rd of March 2005, Ryan Brown embarked upon his first mission; a simple DATA retrieval from a poorly guarded government office in USA.

Greep & Co. Policy No. 3: Should an agent fail, abort or sabotage a mission then he should be assinated withing 24 hours.
Records that 0 in 12 failing agents have lived beyond 19.4 hours.


BASE FEATURES
*Some nice new scripts
*Rigged Explosions
*Squealing hostages
*New AI:- enemies and civilians talk
*Teammate communication.
*Some other stuff


GENERAL PLAN
My intentions are to create a game which covers a wide variety of locations and scenarios. If your struggling to understand what I mean, then imagine the Hitman series, but more defined; some missions are covert, others are more rush in, blow stuff up, blam Blam, BLAAAM!


DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
Level 1 - Complete
Level 2 - Complete
Level 3 - Testing
Level 4 - Not Started
Level 5 - WIP


SCREEN SHOTS

The Office - A photo from Brown's first mission.


Screen Text - A photo from Brown's first mission.


Detonation - A photo from Brown's first mission.


The Forest - The forest scene from the last mission.


The Stairs - Stairs leading to the chemical lab in last mission.



Thanks for Looking,
JRH

Thanks

I'm still having difficulties with lighting in the first three screenshots (level 1), but I think the moonlight in the fourth, and the stair lighting turned out fine. Any ideas how to improve Level 1?

Thanks. I have a new level to add.

I decided that I would create a 'snipe hit' level. Screens:

Wow, the design is awesome and very out of the box thinking here. (Literally. Boxes are the only thing FPSC usually works with.)

Ok, I have a working demo. It doesn't show all of the features, only some. Its also pretty short, but its close to the standard I expect my games to be.

If you have the time I'd appreciate it if you could download and comment.

I have just played the demo twice and here is my review.

The Good:
It's a cool idea to build two opposit buildings. The rooms on the other side are well done and well lightened.

The Bad:
The basic idea to shoot a non-moving target is just interesting enough for the mini-demo you provided. And the victim would probably move if you first shoot the windowglass on your side, then on his side before the third shot finally gets aimed at him.

The Ugly:
Shooting a defenseless human in the head just because the game *says so* is an ugly game idea imo.

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

A video of my still WIP backstreets level. Skybox, lighting, etc... are wrong or unfinished, as are a few scripts. Sorry for the bad video, I haven't worked out how to stop the jerky movement yet.

THE VIDEO

Also, some screens:

nice looking game, I like the alley, battles would be fun there, and a snipe level is a good idea too!

Thanks Bugsy That level is actually rather difficult, what with people shootng out of windows in an ambush style.

Anyway, I have decided that I shall make this into a series, as the game has reached a rather large file size, and my competition deadline is due. I have packaged this game up, and think I'm perhaps ready to move to the Showcase board.

Nice job so far, I'm liking it

One little teeny thing in the alley screenshot the light from the bulkhead seems wrong?? like the light marker is too near and too the bulkhead entity and a bit too high??
The light emits from the very top of the little lightbulb marker and not the actual bulb part if that's any help.

Nice job though over all

Thanks. I'm using V1.17, with no lightmapping. All the detailed shadows I worked on have turned into flaring bloom. It's driving me crazy, I need to work out how to get lightmapping back, or revert to V116 with frequent crashes.

Just edit the post-bloom.fx file and change the BloomScale to this. It gave me far less eye burning. You can experiment about with the two settings to get a bloom you like, but this should get you started.



Change the "> = 2.0f;" to "> = 1.0f;"

Thanks. I've done that and the levels are much nicer. I think I may use both lightmapping and bloom, so as the shadows I worked hard to achieve are still there.

New update!!! I am have decided to use shaders on as many segments as possible, and some of the major entities. So far, level 1 is looking rather nice, the others I am working at.

Although meant for JRH, that is a very usefull tip, one that I didn't know about! I'm going to go back to my first level and see if I can maybe tweek my lighting, bearing that in mind!

I game therefore I am.

Ok, I've finished level's one and two compelte with the new PS 2.0 shader, and Bond1's PS 3.0 shader. A modified version of the bumpbone shader has been applied to all characters, and some entities.

Heres a before an after shot:


I am still having trouble with the new level limit, and so have reduced some background entity texture sizes. The shaders I am using are making this harder though.

I have also been making more of my own segments, using either generated textures or some from cgtextures.com. With Bond's shader applied they look great!

Thanks for looking,
JRH
