Games W.I.P Thread

    It's nice now, we are actually 5 people cramped in a very small office.

    2 Art 2 Level 1 Code. We hired two interns so.

    The added artist Victor (new guy) is actually a lot of help and now we can have Christian work more on characters and animation and Victor on environment art. I try to help out with art where I can, but I don't really need to do that as much any more, which is good, now I can focus more on design things.


    Art is being produced very fast at the moment, but it lags from code with implementation of features, but that's obvious, a lot of things right now are non-gameplay related engine issues. For me and Erik (other new guy), levels are very dependent on code, so we can really only produce layouts and artpass, not do any scripting, open doors etc =) It doesn't matter that much right now though, I know Myran will eventually come to add all features we need in time for the big level crunch =)

    Talos Principle?


    Yea, we are allowed to use that stuff, since it was supposed to be a Serious Sam puzzle-feature anyway, but they branched it off as it's own game. As heard in the Talos dev video about SS4.

    The idea came up one day, cause we were talking about adding a "lobby game" that you can troll around in when chatting before playing and then we thought about the tetris puzzle from talos and then since we have a reserved slot for "items" in game like the land mine, why not see if we can use the jammer to shut off turrets and jam laser doors, just like in Talos =)

    Hi everyone. I want to introduce you a game we are working on.
    The idea is the same as on all other dungeon crawler games: explore dungeons, find hidden rooms, kill monsters (or at least try to kill) and solve riddles. We also want to do some side quests.

    So far we have good quality textures, load/save game system, good quality custom shaders, few parts of GUI, item manipulation and a original soundtrack.
    The game uses JMonkeyEngine 3.0

    Here is a video. Enjoy.

    LoG takes too much from Dungeon Master (a game from 1987), even some riddles and part of dungeons are copied. We want to be more original. Besides that, what's the difference between each fps game?

    Sounds interesting, so there will be a hub that the player can access then?


    That what is the difference between fps games is a bad argument and a none started, a lot is different between most shooters. Guns, the way you move, enemy archetypes,, level design, aesthetic, mechanics, etc.


    Currently a lot of the things in that video are like for like with Legend of Grimrock, the doors, the levels, the floor trap, the aesthetic. I don't have a problem with people making similar games, but it is a valid question and you should be ready to get a lot of comments like it.

    Having doors, trapdoors, hidden buttons, torches etc is the main idea of dungeon crawler genre. Yes, it's 'dungeon' crawler, not forest crawler, not spaceship crawler etc. It was that kind of game which evolved into open space fpp rpg. We are coming back to the roots.

    So far you can see standard, old dungeon theme. There will be 3 more themes: abadoned mine, crypt and... it will be a surprise In almost all miedieval-magic games you have the same arsenal: swords, axes, bows etc. and spellbooks and wands ofc.

    An important part of every rpg game is the mechanics. We don't want to adapt any D&D or other well known system. We will have our own, unique solution of stats and skills.


    I'm not afraid of LoG, i'm even happy that it was successfully released and earned a lot of money - it means that players want to play such games and probably will accept next one, which will be similar in some matter and different in other.

    The main problem is that most ppl now knows only LoG, and newer saw games like Dungeon Master, Stonekeep, Eye of the Beholder, Might and magic (1 to 5) and many, many others... They think that it was something original and our game is just a copy. They are not aware of the fact, that there IS an genre called 'dungeon crawler' and LoG just fits perfectly into it without having anything original.

    I'm really glad that you are still working on this bram and I'm looking forward to a future release =)


    In all these pics, I really dig those long shaped orange lamps, I probably need to replica (i.e. steal) them somewhere sometime.

    Here's a bunch of preview screenshots:


    I should probably do some action shots and record videos as well

    Okay, way late, but how are you doing that lighting on the weapon and enemies?! It looks so good! Is it a normal map? Are those enemies being rendered realtime but being pixelized onto a billboard in realtime or something? They look exactly like models in some spots!
