Fall of the Living: First Outbreak (Full Game Thread)

[saikyo765]

The animations are great. They all run very smooth and lifelike, and there seems to be a lot of little details in them (Such as him switching hands as he reloads as mentioned above). The only thing though, is is that how fast he switches from firing to reloading, or is it just the way you animated it to show us? Because it seems like he goes from the firing animation to the reloading animation with almost no movement.

Thank you. Well the pistol is waaay faster than it is in game (the reloading atleast).

For the AK the shooting switches to the reloading like the way it is shown. But I can see what you mean, I will add a frame or two between shooting and reloading and switching hands :thumb:

So the first cutscene is finally almost complete. This is the safehouse which is Johnnys studio apartment. The entrances are barricaded. I am fully aware of the bed map error and a few things on this chipset is just place holders.

This one Johnny is awoken by suprise by Kelsey. Since the zombies have been walking around for a few weeks now, he is very suprised when kelsey wakes him up so he quickly aims his weapon at her only to relise it is her.

Kelsey lets Johnny know that the supplies are low, and he must meet the team up the stairs heading to the roof to plan it out.

This is after Johnny gets dressed, you must grab your weapon then head to the roof for the first mission. Which is a simple supply run.

Oh Kelseys side view is done too.

This game seems like it would be very hard to map in =P. Nice mapping and the characters look great! Only problem I noticed is in the dialogue on the second screenshot. The 2 "needs" seem to close to each other in the same sentence (if that makes any since) and it doesn't sound right. Maybe change it to something like "Look around Johnny. We are out of every basic item we need to survive!" or something =P. I don't know, I suck at dialogue; sure you can think of something better.

Thank you : D

I agree with you it should be changed. I didn't notice untill after I took the screenshot. I'll be sure to change it up!

What do you mean by own soundtrack? Do you mean like able to play your own songs?
Because one way to do it is play your songs with winamp or WMP. Then open the game.exe and press F1, (I think it is), and click to "disable BGM". But the music in the game will be all custom and will really set the mood. My composer is working very hard on getting the right kind of music for each gamepart. But if this really is a problem, then maybe ill work something out for the battle/left 2 die mode where you can replace a few dummy file MP3s with your own music. I'm not sure yet though.

Yeah decided instead of giving a beta of just battle gameplay, I decided to wait untill two or three missions are done. Which will not be long. The cutscenes are going faster than I thought, as well as the progress for voice actors, character sets, mapping and such.

Speaking of voice actors. If you didn't notice Arnold is supposed to be an exact Schwarzenegger copy. And I finally found the perfect Arnie voice actor that agreed to play as him!

The Schwarzenegger voices start coming in around 0:48

Is this guy great or what!

here is is youtube page with another arnold video on it

Wow. That's a great impression. So, is he doing the voice overs are what (for Arnold?) Also, I don't know if I read this properly, but is Left 2 Die mode co-op?

Yeah like the main cutscenes will be voice acted. And the character Arnold I have, was made completely based of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even in the diolouge script, down to the one liners! So I needed a good Schwarzenegger voice actor but ran into some complications as I couldnt get anyone to sound like him. But James (the guy on the video) has agreed to do the Schwarzengger voice for the voice acting for the character Arnold in the game.

Left 2 die mode will be offline 2 player co-op if I can pull it off right. I already have an idea how to make it, but it would reccomend using an xbox 360 or any kind of pc gamepad for the second player. If it doesnt turn out the way I hope, then it will be one player but with an AI controlled partner.I havent decided the two people that will be available to play as. Maybe just Johnny and Arnold.

Well like I said that Arnold is a Schwarzenegger copy, I decided to attempt to make him look like Schwarzengger. Making him taller, stronger, changing his hair some, and slightly bigger neck. Does it look awkward in any areas?

 

[Rathalos]

No, nothing I can see.

Sunny has made the main theme.

Is this fucking epic or what?

 

[Rathalos]

I like the percussion in the song, I FREAKING LOVE the song. This is the most I've ever wanted to play an XP game.

 

[pathbinder]

^This. I particularly like the insane way of playing the strings(on This Machines), makes we want to see them played live. :grin:

 

[sswave]

Hey guys,

Glad you liked the music so far and thanks for the support. The main theme "Fall Of The Living" isn't technically done. I will be editing and remaster it, but the final version should be in the demo that is coming up. I would post more pieces, but I don't want to spoil you guys. :tongue:

Thanks again.

Yeah, his mouth.

 

[saikyo765]

Uhh..can you be more specific? Because techniclly the character doesnt have a "mouth".
If you mean the jaw, then take a look at schwarzeneggers jaw first. Also just so you know the head is the same one used on the HK templates, just a pixel or two bigger for the jaw. So can you elaborate so I can fix it if there is anything wrong with it? Because I don't see anything wrong with the mouth..

 

[{*HollywooD*}]

Looks absolutely fantastic! I'll definitively be keeping my eye on this =D

 

[mtgmaster]

Well it's probably just me really. I've never liked the HK chins because they have no mouth or nose and giving him a bigger one just makes it more obvious. Still looks good, though. Definitely like Arnie.

when is this game out?
