The Dynatech Outbreak

It's a zombie/monster based shooter... or something. It uses Mr Mo's ABS. It's probably got lots of bugs, but oh well...

The Dynatech Outbreak

THE STORY: The story starts very simple and gets more complex as you go on. It starts on a research facility on an island in the middle of the ocean. The public doesn't know that it exists. The facility is there to conduct research with genetic mutation and gene splicing. That's a recipe for disaster, obviously something goes wrong and now we've got a bunch of zombies and monsters on our hands just waiting to be shot/blown up/stabbed.

WEAPONS:
As of right now you can use a Hand Gun, Throwing Stars, Grenades, Shotgun, Chainsaw, and Machine Gun.
Each weapon has its own unique characteristics. For example, you can throw alot of throwing starts pretty quickly, but they aren't very powerful. The shotgun however, is quite powerful, but pretty slow in between shots and ammo is a little harder to come by.

TEMPORARY UPGRADES:
The game features temporary upgrades that can be attained by finding various orbs. For now, the upgrades include Invincibility, Invisibility, Infinite Ammo, Increased Speed, and Increased Attack. The upgrade only lasts for 20-30 seconds until the player is returned to normal. I plan on adding more upgrades as the game progresses.

SOUNDTRACK:
The soundtrack currently is by Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Datach'i, Dethklok, and myself. It's bound to change though.

DEMO:
If you would like to play a short demo (half hour +), you can here.



Let me know of bugs you find, things you thought were wrong, or stupid, or cool. You know, just some basic feedback.

Enjoy
 
*Cough* Half-Life/Doom Rip-Off *cough*

Honestly, what's with the doom graphics? Your mapping is bland and the tiles are mismatched. The story, is well, semi-inspired. And something tells me this doesn't belong in Early Concept Development

Good god. There's barely any info here, and you shouldn't have screenshots in here. It's for getting critique on (in your case barely existent) story.

To me, this is sortof an advertisement topic rather then something of use.

I mean, look at your story.

There's hardly any info about anything, you literally just tell us about the story and not about what's in it. I'm sorry, but you NEED to write more.

Apart from that,The graphics are appalling inconsistent.

Good as some of those are, it's pretty illegal to include their music.

You have no idea how old these posts get. If he's not making a profit from it, there isn't much they're going to do about it.

So its also illegal to include your *insert final fantasy vii/viii/ix/x/ct/zelda/ETC* music????

Seriously, stop with the dumbshittery.

Heh, I don't personally give a damn (I downloaded all my Aphex Twin and BoC illegally hoho), I just figured it's better to warn now than see the topic get locked further down the line (which yes I have seen happen here before).

There seems to be a divide in opinion with music because it's unencrypted and thus "grabbable" but as I said, I wouldn't have personal qualms about using it if it's appropriate to the mood of your game, but different moderators have different opinions on the matter etc.

I seriously doubt a mod would close this because of his music choice. The only way it would get locked is if the OP didnt give credit or took music from a user who specifically asked not to.

This would get locked a lot faster for potential to suck than it would for the OP not obtaining a license for the music.
 
Well, I originally posted this in early project development, but it got moved here (I'm not really sure why)

I don't have much of a story for my game because this isn't the kind of game that needs a huge story. It isn't necessary to have background on the characters or the world or anything like that. All you need to know it provided to you at the beginning of the game.

As far as mismatched enemies and tilesets go... Well, I'm just some guy who has some free time so I decided to make a game. I'm not going for anything professional here, just trying to have a little fun. So it's not going to look super amazing or anything.

Thanks to those of you who had something constructive to offer.

That's fine if you don't want to, but anyone who actually tries the project out before judging it will see that there is effort put into it.
