Story

In 2011 planet Earth fell into international nuclear war. Almost every country was destroyed, and those with an infrastructure remaining were under constant threat from mutants created by the nuclear raditaion.

Outdoor scenery, complete with plants.
Use of FPSC's particle system.

The Trailer appears a little flat to me, but your screenshots are even more convincing on the other hand!

Good work, keep it up!

LOL, I like the "Out Door Scenery....complete with plants!" part. Anyway... down to buisness.

Screens look good! I like the fact it isnt all dark and can convey the atmoshpere with a brighter outdoor setting. Who needs dark corridors anyway?! Keep up the good work!

Ok, I am looking for a voice actor to do the soldier.

Specifications are as follows;
- Deep, clear but fast speaking voice. Any accent accepted, so long as it is understandable.
- High quality recordings. Noise inaudible.Rite my new number.

Speak to me if your interested. I'm on a tight budget though, with christmas coming up and all that.

@ syko games

That would be awesome. Can you send me a sample reading:

I must agree on that front I'm afraid. Although the game itself a real difference to all the darker games on display at the moment in the WIP/Showcase boards. Very well done.

P.S. I like the plants!

Yeah, try including some gameplay. Also, im not sure whether or not it is a good idea to just read out your storyline. It seems a little dull. Try to make the trailer reflect the game genre and gameplay style. E.g. Action game with fast gameplay: Short scenes with abrupt transitions showing in game conflict. Hope this helps!

I am always a little cautious about screenshots without huds&framerate.

I've read so often final post (after 5 pages s screenshot comments) along the line of "game won't build/game crashes upon build/the fps is under 10/the dog ate all the files" that I nowadays wait patiently for the demo

Looking good, although you need some more buildings in the background of the third screen. It doesn't look like there's a city beyond that first row of buildings.

I agree, that the trailer looks flat, but the screenshots are very good looking! The lighting seems great and it feels that there is world around the level boundaries, atleast from what I see in the screens. That may all change when I get to play it.

This looks pretty epic.
I like the atmosphere, reminds me, a small amout, like a few levels in my game. I like the plants, also.

Good job, and good luck - I'll be looking for a demo.

Sorry for double post. Bumping thread. Just wonder when we will see a demo of some sort. Curious to see how you made the town with such low lag and realism.

Sorry for the lack of updates... I am still working on this project, but rather slowly... At the moment I am optimising gameplay. Certain areas cause extreme lag, due to the large render. I am trying to reduce this as much as possible. The funny thing is, in other areas the game runs sweet as a nut

Ah well. Sorry for the double post, but I may aswell explain why I haven't been working on this game as much. I've decided to enter the 'Scariest Horror Game' contest. Although off-topic, here are some screens from my 'indev' level.

Update!!!
I have decided that, after fiddling MP53 for a while, that the game will no longer be a 'zombie shooter'. Hopefully this way I can kill the lag aswell...

Reading your first post, it appears to me that without being a "zombie shooter" there isn't much left of the game you announced nearly 3(!) months ago
