You are one of the crew of a Viown class military scout ship. You and the rest of the crew, including at least 10 Axomn Elite soldiers, have been ordered to scout out a ship that went of course on trade route 298. The ship was tracked until it flew past plant WV180, at which point it simply disappeared. Reaching the site after 2 years in cryosleep, you and your crew get ready to be dropped to the planet below. Suddenly the ship is hit with an old ground to orbit strike cannon. The engines have powered down due to a overheat, and boarding Resistance Strike Teams are blocking access to the manual override switch on the engines. You are to report to the captain on the bridge, at which point you will be given your assignment.

Background

The Resistance has been around since the Inter Planetary Government made friendships with the first alien race, The Claves. The Resistance was apposed to the friendships made during that time, friendships that they decided were against the laws of humanity. They recruited some of the top scientist and engineers in the universe to their cause. They developed the Heat Based Projectile (or as some call it, the laser), the Optimized Space Craft, and most importantly, and unfortunately, the ability enhancing drugs they simply call, Adrenalin. They have been at war for well over 1000 years, during that time-span, an estimated 900 million lives have been lost, weather by the cruel, flesh melting Disintegrators of the resistance, or the quantoniom filled bullets of the Terran Galactic Military. Many lives have been lost, and more will surely follow, until the war sustain itself no longer, and crumbles upon itself.

Features

-20 level single player campaign

-5 level multiplayer deathmatch

-20 wave standoff mode

Nice, I like the use of custom textures. Very impressive. My only gripes thus-far are that you haven't retextured the Ai bot, and your screenshots are a tad too small.

You know, I can't seem to edit the texture of the AI for some reason. Oh, I also have a texture for a custom segment, but I cant quite get it to work. Most everything else will be custom though.

Yep. I just need to get the voice acting and the cutscenes done, but in the meantime, I can give you guys some more screenshots.

No problem, really. Send the files to coachshogun20[AT]hotmail.com, replacing the [AT] with @.

Anyway, those shots look nice, but I wouldn't use WW2 characters in a sci-fi game. Also, in the last shot you'll notice that the notice sign in mirrored.

You might want to set down youre ambience so you can work better with your lightmapping. You also get darker shadows then. Y are the Soldiers in the 4th Screen so blue?

Actually, a chokepoint is a a military term. Heres a link to the wikipedia page.

Thats a good idea wolf. The ambience is at 10 right now, but I am planning to lower it to 6-8.

@ Everyone

Thanks for the C&C. Expect a demo soon. Speaking of which, I need some help with the voice acting. Any volunteers?

Here are some of the roles I need.

Captain: English accent, smooth voice, but authoritive.

Marines: Very much like the marines from Halo and Aliens.

Axomn Elites: Very rough voice, like the Replica soldiers from FEAR, or the Spartans from Halo.

Escape pod pilot: Gung Ho australian accent, simalar to Atlas from Bioshock.

I'd help with the voice acting, but my voice isn't too developed either and is kinda monotone. Oh, and Metal Devil, I don't think the mods like you giving your age away.

Anyways, with or without voice acting, this should be good.

I have found out some people screens are darker than others.some flat monitors are not the same. i have two monitors one I bought last year and I bought this year. the old one everything seems darker and the new one everything seems brighter or just right. like wolf game I thought the game was too dark then i seen it on my new monitor and it looks good.all im saying is you cant judge someone game between dark and light because there monitor might be too dark. you can not turn it up like my old monitor the bright level is turn to the max. both monitors are on the same level. the sad part is the new one cost alot less. on top of that the new one is bigger, 20" and old one is 19". so maybe his game looks dark enough. im just given everyone head up. im looking at this game on my old monitor and it looks good. that why I could not make my game as half as dark i wanted it. because people monitor could be like my old one.

These are teaser pictures for what you will find on the LV21. These are from the Environment Simulation Room.

I have also attached the a picture of the Stinger Pistol. The HUDs are still work in progress, but otherwise it is complete.



These parts will get very problematic. As the AI enemies flank, put dow suppressing fire, and snipe at apropriate times. It is crucial that you get a vantage point.

Thanks for your encouragment all. I have gotten the demo uploaded.

http://files.filefront.com/LV21zip/;13870252;/fileinfo.html

Remember that this is a beta. Bugs will be fixed in the final version.

Weapons:

M52 Stinger Standard Issue Sidarm

The Stinger is pinpoint accurate, firing excelerted concentrated light rounds. It causes maximum damage at close range, but it makes for a usefull improv sniper weapon.

M120 Cleaver Light Machine Gun

The Cleaver is a reliable weapon, having mid range stats in about everything. It fires light armor piercing rounds superheated inside the weapon. It does large amounts of damage per shot and has an excelent rate of fire, estimated at 10 rounds per second. It is most useful at close to mid range, and all but useless at long range.

Please post C&C after you have downloaded and played.

I'm downloading, hopefully this one will work.

Alright, on a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8. The retextures of stock media were all very nice, and I'd like to see more retextured. The cutscene's quality was awful, I would recommend getting a different screen capturing device. The enemies were varied enough, and plentiful. The terrain has a glitch some times where it would disappear. The level design was clever and good. Overall, nice job.
