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

GTA project isnt cancelled.
But its a HUGE project for one guy and progress hasnt been going the way as planned. And it's hard to find help because most people that wanted to help me just wanted to get an early peak of the game.
So I decided to start on a new project.
I'll continue GTA project once I can get more help maybe.
Or just release the GTA system without any missions or anything but a small city for you to muck around in...
anyway on with the game..



[this game is still in early development]


for a quick rundown of the story its year 2013 and its been 5 years since the dead first walked.
The only safe place in the world is a small city surrounded by larget cities. Its where the last people of earth (besides looters and big time crooks) spend their life. there is one last military group that keeps the city safe as well.
Its all run by one man.
Zombies arnt the only problem.
The guy keeping the city safe does it terribly.
anyone out after curfew is shot with no question asked.
you are killed for the smallest things.
anyone 18 and over is forced into being in the clean up crew untill you make 25.
Usually your missions consist of getting supplies from ruined cities, and keeping the city you live in safe.
Later you will be blackmailed into doing worse missions or the main female character dies.
It shows the evil of the government so you have to fight back.
save the girl, get a goodplace to call your own, as well as dont get bitten.
this is your last hope if you want to survive.



Features:

Advanced shooting system.
Aim for the head!.. You will have a large amount of weapons to choose from, and even diffrent variants of diffrent firearms.
You can only hold 4 weapons at a time. Primary weapons, secondary weapons, support weapons, melee weapons, and your fist.
All weapons will be able to be upgraded.
Such as extended magazines, grenade launchers, suppressors, L.A.M's, and attatched flashlights.
Weapons will be available to buy at the gunshops in the safe city, or stolen from destroyed citites, or found off dead enemies.
Or you can use a "RENT" option. where you can use one weapon for half price, but only on one mission.
With an RPG like stat system, heres what you can upgrade about your player.

Stanima stats. (just walk/run more then you use veichles) and you will be able to run for longer without getting tired, as well as do more damage with melee weapons. as well as escaping the grabs from the undead will
be much easier.


Firearms stats: This does a couple of things. If you use a certain weapon for a certain amount of time you will get better with it. you will be better at getting headshots with it, and faster reloading times.
To give headshots it depends on what weapon you use, and what you are doing when you fire that weapon. For example, if you are running and shooting at a zombie, your headshot chance will decrease more then if you
were standing still and aiming at them. It also depends on what weapon you use, some being better then others. Like if you had a bolt action rifle, you would have better accuracy then with a small pistol.


Trust stats: with trust stats, it will help you recruit more survivors then you could if you were doing all bad things such as killing survivors for no reason, or not keeping promises.



Infection feature-
This just stops people from running around like they are Rambo.
The game will have much action however.
But the way it works is, if you are bitten x amount of times (x is depending on the difficulty)
then you will turn into a zombie. You CANT do missions while your a zombie, but you can play as one just for fun.
The game will autosave on the beggining of the map you went to, IF you are not a zombie. so basiclly if you get bitten, you can play as a zombie and eat humans, then just load it back up from where you messed up at.


Battle mode.
Battle mode will have a few modes in it mostly for two player.
one mode is survival mode, you just kill as many zombies as you can before time runs out.
CO-OP mode will be a two player mode but only for a few missions.
Fighting mode will be a 2 player brawl...with zombies vs you vs player two.


Driving system.
Drive cars that are not to bruised up.
Can shoot the machine guns in the back of the jeeps and such.
if you run out of ammo, just mow em down!



barraicade system (be able to make your own safe house out of any building you want. barricade the windows and doors.with whatever you can find)
if you dont keep up with your base stats, prepare for a battle.
Zombies will never give up if there is food inside.

you will also be able to have your own traps such as electric fences on the outside, landmines, and other things.

I want a perfect fighting system before I get done with the maps and stuff.
But so far all i have to show off is this..

and i made this awhile ago, before it was going to take place at an artic snow base.
I might have the last part of the game take place there...

I also have videos of early ZOMBIE AI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29LP5YtvukY


and title screen beta...i couldnt record the sound on this one for some reason...

Oh and just so you know, some people compared this to the movie land of the dead.
I just wanted to mention I dont like the idea of the "smart" zombie.
:] so itll be good for all you zombie lovers.

Where did you get the script for this?
 

$t3v0

Awesome Bro

:x

darkaz, Edit the quote in your post to the screenshot you're referring to. Or alternatively, Just leave the question you asked but with more detail on which script you mean.

yess excatly xD.
if your talking about the shooting script, then I'm pretty sure I already answered that.
you cant find it anywhere because its original
 
Xilef;317031 said:
Please, for the love of god, edit out that quote T_T

Saiyko: I'm guessing all the scripts will be made by you 100% original?

Most of them, but not all.
Like I'm using the AMS for the diolouge and stuff.
But as far as the fighting engine goes, yes.
 
Hey saikyo, this project is wonderful, looking forward to the release of your Fighting engine, anywho, I have a question. Can you, or rather would you tell me where I can find the HK sprites that has in The HK that can hold a weapon. I can't seem to find it and i'd really like to know where it can be located?

You mean HK charsets that look like they are holding weapons?
I wouldn't know man, I took the plain walking HK charset, edited their arms, and colored it in. So I edited it myself.


And yeah the lightpole isnt done yet.
 
Oh, bummer, probably have to do that my self. KK, anyway, will you also be planning on releasing the tilesets you used for this Game when its finished ??
 
I don't know if anyone already said this but if it autosaves until you zombie, when you load the game after you became zombie you will almost be a zombie again.
 
There will be 2 ways of saving.
Autosaving and manual saving.

Autosaving works like this.
Each map you teleport to, itll save if you havent been bitten/infected.

There will also be places you can manually save if you arnt bitten/infected.
 
Anoter new picture.
I'm steal tweeking the chipset to add little details.
The reason why there is so many gun shells is because there is a North, East, West, and South gate where they people of the city shoot off all the zombies in the city at night.
So everynight there's gunfire like crazy. xD
That's also why the grass is so bloody.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/ ... stgate.png[/img]

And there will be more characters and stuff to help you on here, its just I havent done any coding for this little minigame.
I'm still working on the graphics.

Wydya think so far? :D
 
LOL, I like the idea of late night zombie hunting... LOL I also like the chipset. You have done alot of work for something thats still in the Early development. Hell, my project is in early development, and I haven't even started the game itself yet.

:D
 
Zombie hunt at night eh? Kinda reminds of The Last Stand.:) The graphics are fine, they look good...except the bloody grass, I thought it was some kind of a huge ancient japanese painting.O_o Maybe make those vertical bloodlines diagonal?
