Hello, do you remember me ?
Sorry for having made of Damage a vaporware but not so long after the completion of the development personal things kept me away from the Internet for some time.
Still, I've managed to build the game and to come back, so, enough talk and let's be back on business !
A game by
Madcow
Short Description
The game focuses on action and exploring, much like
Quake 2 and it is approximately one-hour long.
Story
Nethis, a desert-like planet.
On its surface, in a fairly remote canyon, lies a tower. This tower is one of the last remnants of a forgotten hostile civilization : the Raknos.
Once used by them to exterminate all of Nethis' locals, the tower became abandoned after the Raknos have disappeared without a trace, standing motionless.
A thousand years later
Since then, Nethis has been recolonized and the Raknos fell into a total oblivion, they simply don't exist anymore, even in the Galaxy's history.
Life is thriving on the little planet, despite lacking of any kind of government. Because of this, most of the cities are controlled by crime lords and nefarious criminals.
Since a few months, locals are reporting alarming facts about unknown creatures spotted in the plains of Nethis. But those creatures weren't the only eerie thing :
more inhabitants reported also suffering of hallucinations and terrible headaches after having stayed near the tower.
All of those informations could only mean one thing : there was still some activity inside the tower. Most of the crime lords allied themselves to conduct looting raids in the tower.
Unfortunately, at each of their operations, none of their men were coming back home.
Worried, they were forced to require assistance from the army of the United Federation of Planetary Systems, which was the actual government in most parts of the galaxy.
The Federation answered to the call, in exchange, their leaders demanded to establish Federal outposts into cities, for commercial purposes.
You are a bounty hunter, awaken from a several centuries long sleep by a mysterious AI called "The Patriarch". The Federation had hijacked the tower's security systems, thus allowing secbots to turn rogue.
Your mission is to protect its central core, in exchange of your freedom.

Additional Info
I recommend you to read the readme, because the game is rather hard and can be unstable regarding performance.
Sorry about this but you are not allowed to share the game in any way or form, including posting
public videos on various sites, just post them as "unlisted" ones ( on Youtube ).
You can download the game HERE
What's next ?
You may wonder what I'll do now and to be honest, I don't know either. I was thinking about a new gameproject with a lot of humor in which the player would be in the filthy boots of a Redneck and have to do several (criminal) jobs such as robbing, destruction, murder... not really like
GTA, but more like
Kingpin : Life of Crime and in a brighter and funnier atmosphere.
Utinni !
