[Indie Game] Revulsion - Doom Meets Darksouls

Revulsion now available on steam early access! This thread shows the production of the game from fairly early on to what we see today.

My Next goal goals for the project is to now begin a polish phase. This means making it so that enemies animate and properly react to being shot. There are a large number of changes in the works for next phase. This will be my last push before I have to get my stuff together and move back to America.

Yeah sorry I have not been updating as much. I plan to get a volley of updates in place soon.

Sorry I have not be super active on social media as of late. I plan to get back into the swing of things soon though. The only thing that might distract me is that I will be moving very soon. I have a new video format now that will make things a lot smoother when showing off stuff I am doing. Its a much cleaner presentation and it gives me a chance to make a ton of Gifs.

When you press the map key it brings up a visual representation of the entire level right in front of you. It orients itself so that you can easily tell what direction you are facing in relation to the map. It also shows your position as well as map markers that you can discover all around the world!

And here is me sniping some fools for random fun!

Project Stray is a loot based first person shooter that blends elements of classic Doom and Quake with Dark Souls and Boarderlands. This game is the missing link from the classic Doom and Quake style fps and the modern shooter.[/b]

This demo will be the last build before I begin a funding campaign to finance the design of the rest of the game. The demo itself is a short section of the game. However, the demo includes New Game Plus functionality, This allows you to replay multiple times with better and better loot as well as harder and harder challenges.[/b]

Project Stray currently includes a fairly large amount of unique loot as well as the ability to buy and sell things at a vendor, crafting, repairing damaged or worn out items, and even the ability to affix your armor with special stats.

This new version includes a host of bug fixes, updates and changes as well as a new level to round out the free demo experience. Not only is the free demo a lot longer now but it also provides players with more breathing room to learn the games mechanics. You will be starting the game off in a level called Artifact containment.

The intro to the game is a lot moodier now to say the least. I would say its a lot closer to Doom 3 in its early pacing. But I quickly pick up the combat to make sure you know this is a lot less about mood and a lot more about shooting.

The second is the Bulwark Shield you can place down. It works like the kinds of shields you see in Overwatch. Enemies wont be able to shoot through it but you can.I want to have this patch out very soon. No later than this weekend.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/719180/Revulsion/[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmawKrJUxZjUz…vulsionLogo.png] 10 new booster and special abilities as well as other fixes and changes to the game!

Dark Seed Instantly trade places with target enemy. Enemy becomes living bomb. Gun Turret A Stationary gun turret to fight with you for a short time.

This is an important update.

Bulwark shield has had its health greatly increased. Gun turret should no longer be instantly killed if it is near death triggers. Gun turret should no longer cause doors to randomly open from super long distances. Vampirism is now a special ability instead of booster ability. Vampirism Damage and life drain effect increased. Blueprints should now all cost the correct amount for everyone. Dark tower has been moved back in preparation of Episode 2. Need some space for the new levels! [/list] Remember!

Side grades essentially. However there is one thing that does make farming hell weapons valuable. I plan to have special super rare dual wielding versions of all the hell weapons. Dual wield weapons will be a lot more powerful to say the least.With that said you will also see that I am starting to now add some of the completely new weapon types. The crossbow will take the shotgun slot and is heavily inspired by the Heretic crossbow. The wands are pistol slot weapons that will fire piercing projectiles that do AOE damage.Stay tuned as there is more to come!

Also you may notice that there are melee weapons in the list. Each melee weapon will fire ranged projectiles. in some fashion. This is very much in the style of Heretic and Hexen. Also keep in mind that many of the weapons will have super rare dual wield variations.The one advantage that the melee weapons will have is that they wont become worthless if you run out of ammo like the other guns.The gauntlets will fire like shotguns. Even though you see one gauntlet you have two of them on screen. The death orb may look simple but its more or less like Zenyatta's left click.There are still a few more weapon types that I want to add to the game. After that I will begin on monsters.So one of the things about the monsters that I think I want to really define. I want them to get bigger and more deadly in general. I want the hell beast to be the new average sized enemy.

Void bombers are super nasty fast moving mobs that have nasty volley attacks. They can jump high into the air then rain down explosive attacks from above. These enemy's pack a punch and they can reach you even in hard to get to areas.

[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmRnTL99aWsj7…25-08-45-00.png]This guy is called a Gelatinous. It might be kind of difficult to see what these guys will look like in game. These guys are more like environmental dangers. In the center of a Gelatinous is its eye which will always be watching you as you get near them. These large slime cubes do not attack directly but they do move in predictable patterns. If you come in contact with one of these it will burn through your health like acid. If you destroy the eye in the center then the cube will dieThere is a lava variation of these cubes as well and those will mostly behave the same way except the eye will actually attack you by lobbing fireballs at you.If used cleverly these enemies can be used as a way to navigate spaces in interesting ways.

[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://st…25-08-34-13.png]The deathbow is the higher quality variation of the crossbow.

[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmUJqkQ7p9K9J…25-08-35-51.png]A pickaxe that does increased damage against environmental objects. Some locations in episode 2 will have locations that require you to dig to find secrets and shortcuts. Having one of these can come in handy for that.

[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmWwH4EMTETx2…25-08-43-49.png]A flame thrower is an effective AOE weapon for large groups of enemies at close range.

So my general thoughts on episode 2 is that I may almost entirely phase out the small enemy types completely. The enemy types you will face will get bigger and more complex. So far the enemy types that I have planned around are

Void Bomber Shown above Gelatinous (Acid and lava) Shown above Death reaper A large cultist in a hood who can summon spinning scythes in the air around him that you have to dodge. Hell Wraith A large cultist in a hood who rushes at you with a gigantic warhammer. Abomination Very large, very fat, carries two very large weapons that fire like crazy. [/list] I may still be ready to add more, but these are the main enemy types I have in mind so far.As far as weapons, Episode 2 is poised to way more than double the total possible weapons you can obtain in the game. I also plan to have new armor types as well. Once I get the base enemy type models setup I will be able to begin building the new levels.A direct link to Revulsion game on Steam early access.http://store.steampowered.com/app/719180/Revulsion/[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://st…25_09-36-54.png]

Cultist Reaper These guys have a few different attacks using their magical scythe weapon.

Cultist Wizard Highly inspired by the wizards often found in oldschool Zelda games. These guys like to teleport to different locations before unleashing devastating magical attacks.

They can rip through your health very quickly if you let them. You have to wear them down as they have massive health pools. They are the only enemy type that will drop an ammo box when they are killed.Episode 2 is poised to have a total of 6 new enemy types!

The above images show new blockmesh blueprints that I will be using to get new gameplay areas in a functional state. I am feeling a lot more comfortable now with what I will need to do to quickly build all kinds of new and fun combat areas and these blueprints will make it even faster and easier.One thing I have noticed recently is that I have become increasingly comfortable with doing pixel art. Its probably a bit more noticeable on the new monster types I am working on as well. I am hoping that the transition in my increase in personal skill is not too noticeable.I want to get super good with voxel art so that I can create my own style for when I do my own games. I want to see if I can get away from the minecraft look and get closer to a retro look. If its at all possible I want the new areas to be a mix of Heretic / Hexen and 8 bit Castlevania.

With that said I will be adding the ability to do head shots or hit weak points on mobs in the next patch as well. The new enemy types will all basically be mini boss difficulty mobs, but that doesn't mean you wont be running into multiple of them at a time. At this in the game I will be placing greater expectations on the player to understand how to handle different combat situations.Each of the mobs displayed will be quite capable of cutting the player down after 1 or 2 simple mistakes during a fight. And the fights will be roughly 50% longer. I also want to have special boss variations of these mobs that are full blown staged boss fights similar to Orgrimgor.[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmamj7o7uoN1Pk9qVNpgW4tWBT2nzoFR4ahhC21XatqUy8/UE4Editor_2018-01-29_10-38-25.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ2LmGHMd2fXzzBfizbtpEPk1gNgDsgn1MA3gCyo3Q3tf/UE4Editor_2018-01-29_10-38-54.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmafhvwVrmhHphPcPF3ZBoDQF95FbYzfBKaFYbX93naybo/UE4Editor_2018-01-29_10-39-10.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmVasjZUKnqXhLdHoxSYJoyxxXswfnHdxe38dDy1Jsf4gA/UE4Editor_2018-01-29_10-41-33.png]The new guns are being added in now as well. I have to do more work on the melee weapons however as they came out at the wrong scale and are a bit under detailed. I should have them in place tonight. The plan is to get as much into the game engine as possible before I begin setting up the bones and rigs for the character models.Its going to take me roughly mostly of February to get all of the new guns, armor sets, and monster AI in a functional state. In that time I also intend to have at least one full level blocked out as well.I am going to be working my *** off next month!

Many new fairly big gameplay changes and updates!

Stationary turret now properly ejects brass when it fires its weapon.[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmfBsF5hYYzyN128LGT2bCHTDgg7SiFXnf3tbvfE1tacp4/2018-02-02_09-55-27.png] Can no longer switch weapons while aim down sight is active. (Prevents wrong zoom distance bug) Text on various tutorial video screens have been updated to reflect recent gameplay changes.

Episode 2 news...

Episode two now has functional jump pads.[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmb1KRpxQKSCHnnwPZEATRdPFvFD3ndFLKUKC9UyVAj67Y/2018-02-01_18-17-51.png][/list] I want to have keys and door style functionality for Episode 2. This functionality will have the player searching for special objects that can be used to unlock doors and open paths. It wont just necessarily be keys. It can also be specific artifacts. These artifacts will likely not be inventory items. I am planning to make them function differently. The artifacts will begin to follow the player around once the player moves close enough to them. All the player has to do is survive the trip back to the location where the item can be used.[Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZMupxHKMK7qqu5oXv1Rn4C1fJBMvjp7mYmXPinxq8Dwe/2018-02-02_14-37-16.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmcdVxixE9bTjTuFfgZQbgCE9uc4Lu9r1sZBYQj1qJDaVs/2018-02-02_14-37-32.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmRWRT3HKa5UabArdLAzzPycp6VvsormshLaFeTnUxSca6/2018-02-02_14-37-49.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/DQmNcHvbiLucmjWpMfvjgGh7h2iz3asFzBFcvydRTwuPfio/2018-02-02_14-38-07.png][Blocked Image: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmNm2mLN1DXfq1GJLAvjDj46iz2bmrw1ZPDYvt4pDDnjRc/2018-02-02_14-38-28.png]I will probably be spending most of this month just getting all of the new guns and monsters in a functional state, hopefully with animations ect. I will keep you guys updated, I am also due to make another Dtube dev blog as well.
