old-school style FPS with handcrafted levels · By
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're building the game around more tactical gameplay, where resource management is a thing and where every weapon would be useful in different situations. At least in the beginning phase. If we make parts of the game a power fantasy it will require some buildup so the player feels like he earned it. At least that 's the idea:). We have some pretty powerful and devastating weapons and powerups in the works. We're also thinking about including different game modes and mutators that can turn the game into a more trigger happy experience.
Oh, gotcha!
Hm, maybe it should more communicate that tactical aspect, be a bit more slow paced and look less doom-ish, or also, Unreal Tournament - alike.
But anyway, good luck, make whatever you want to happen happen!
Thanks for the feedback!
Game will have a save system of some kind for sure. Either checkpoints or quicksaves. Maybe both. Altough we think about exprimenting with something more connected to the gameplay - something that would reward the player for using the save option more sparsly.
floppy disks right now are sort of collectibles that indicate if you found all the secrets. Their function will probably change later in development.
Thanks for the reply! Good idea with the save system, because I guess abusing it will lose what makes the game special. I see, so that's the function of the data disks. I didn't manage to get 100% because there's this place beneath the Krankenheit lab that I can't find a way to enter, I'm guessing one is in there. I also found that the platform that the player starts on is an elevator but again I don't know where to operate it.
It is really fun with all these secrets. I'm just having a suggestion that perhaps it's good to make it obvious that the end level switch will, well, end the level, something like an "exit" sign in Doom. Because on my first playthrough I accidentally ended it when I still have more exploration to do.
Well I liked the demo a lot. The secrets were nice, maybe shouldn't talk about some of them because people need to find them. The first one is a bit overwhelming if you don't go to the green door first.
One of the things I think that need more work (for add a different thing to all the stuff the people already write) is when monsters spawn when you do certain objectives or crossing through some areas. If you are looking at the correct moment, you see them appear from nowhere. Example of that is when you grab the SMG on the truck at the beginning. If you grab it backwards you can see the mobs appear where the armor is. Also, you can just skip their respawn if you are enough careful. This happens a lot if you do a normal run through the level.
The jump is unresponsive when you are close to edges, you need to jump way ahead. Is something you can deal with with practice, but not totally sure that is an intended thing. Improve this will be good because, almost for the alpha map, you are rewarded with a better position to deal against certain areas.
The always run option, is something I use. BTW, could be strange to deal with the speed of the running. That is why is handy to change to normal speed pressing the run key (because is hard to be precise with the platforming).
By other hand, I was able to beat the map without take any damage, without attack a single monster, even without grab the sword (Wakazashi) from the start. I got 95 % kills (I think the kills are based on the monsters you found, because if you don't found some, they don't count,) and got a B rank for 11,59 seconds. Here the screen. (sadly didn't found a way to take a screenshot in game)
About it, I'm sure is possible to beat the map under 10 seconds, just need more practice. The end button have a problem, you can go through an be unable to hit it with the action key.
Yeah, physics and control systems are still under development and we expect them to get better in time. The player speed and jump height was modified a lot during internal playtesting - this is why some parts of the level might feel off and feature unintended shortcuts - they were made when these setting were different. Thanks for the feedback!
I understand. But for sure the game is going to the right direction. I'm a big fan of the speedruns, unintended shortcuts is a good thing. I didn't say that beat the map at 11 secs was a bad thing. Is something I figured out after play around with physics, and beat the level the normal way multiple times. Is a good reward for the people that already know the level. I'm 100 % sure no one will figure out in the first playthrough (so is more an Easter egg than a bug )
Well I found this picture on my pc and I wanted to share it. This was done in one of my first playthroughs on the game (after a lot of exploration and after deal with some out of bounds or get stuck in some parts of the map, something that I can understand in this early version of the game)
Really waiting for test more of this game.
(also will like a way to take screenshots in game)
Well after a lot of time, I was checking on internet how the project is going. Hope the best and I really hope you can overcome the Hiatus Thing. Take your time, you don't really need to rush. Maybe is not a good time to say it but I Will like to add a request, and it is a way to set the sensitivity by number instead of use a bar (or at least have both options).
Usually I use a tool for have my sensitivity practically the same in all my shooter games. I use Kovaak sensivity matcher: https://github.com/KovaaK/SensitivityMatcher and it work really well for measure games and find the exact (or almost super close) sensitive between games. On this game I was able to find my exact sensitivity, but don't know how to use it because is a decimal number, will be great if was possible to set it up.
Also a Way to take screen shots of in game (maybe is there a way already to do it but i don't now)
So i Hope, this game finds a way to reach gold, because i really like and enjoyed the demo. On my country we have a lot of internet issues, so I play some single players games, and time ago i played the demo for at least 50 times xD
For last but not least I have some pictures of the last time i played the demo, Didn't post it before because I forgot to do it xD
This is about the possibility i said before of beat the game under 10 sec
Ended being able to do it under 8.30 sec, totally sure is still possible to get even lower than that but this was i manage with a bit of practice.
And the other one is 
This time was just trying to get the max rank (that i wasn't sure if were any beyond A rank). Is possible to have way way lower time than this, but i honestly didn't try it that much. One of the major things for not try it is that you need to do some specific stuff for trigger some enemies, and is a bit annoying .
