Anderson 2 (X-10 rip-off) Tech Demo
Developer: Ertlov
Hi guys,
I stumbled over the X10 Revival contest some days ago, and after a long time of the boards, I thought I´d throw something in. I´m pretty new to X10, as I bought it on release but had XP running untill last week. So don`t expect much.
Basically this tech try is a rushed "Let`s see what we can do with X10" rip-off of the Anderson Sequel we are working now.This will most likely be done NOT in FPSC, we are playing around with Cry 3 and Unreal 3 technology on A2. However, I tried to get the first part of the first level somehow recreated in X10, and here we go with this approach.
Attention - you need AT LEAST:
Phenom X4 / Core2Quad or better
3GB RAM
4870 Radeon or better (1GB VRAM recommended!)
Windows Vista or Win 7
I know, that with decent optimization the specs could be by far lower, but as already told, I´m totally NEW to X10 and this one was done within the last days in my very RARE spare time.
The Story:
It`s the year 2012. Economic crisis, riots, smaller wars in emerging countries, vulcano outbreaks, tsunamis and incredible acts of mass murder are dominating the news. Geologists have discovered an unusual behaviour of the continental shelf in the southeastern Pacific, leading to the slow but steady rise of an uncharted island.
Noone sees the connection between all of those events - except one NSA agent, Peter Albright. He is the grandson of the famous Wehrmacht staff seargant Stefan Albers, who stood up against Himmler and the secret society of the Black Sun, fought back Himmlers Shoggoth and escaped to the USA during the war.
With the stories from his grandfather in mind, Peter knows what happened in castle Landers, on the border between Austria and Bavaria.
He knows about the Great Old Ones.
He knows about Cthulhu.
And he knows about Robert D. Anderson.
With his top-clearance, he gets access to to files stating that Robert is still alive and kept as "special object of interest" in a top-notch and top-secret facility in Nevada.
Without official orders, but with some inofficial support from his superiour, Peter gets access to the subterran facility and is led to the Hydrostasis Cell were Robert has spent the last 70 years, been interrogated, tortured, misused for awful experiments. If he hadn`t been insane after the events of 1940, he would be it NOW. However - Robert D. Anderson, now over 100 years old, doesn`t seem to have aged in all those decades. His mind is clear, yet zynic, and he tells that there is nothing human beings could do to stop Cthulhu from leaving R`lyeigh after the island has completely emerged. Peter states that this might be true - but Robert is NOT a human being. Perhaps he could do something...
Despite of the things the goverment did to him, Robert agrees to help Peter, in order to pay back the debt he owed to his grandfather.
Suddenly their first meeting is interrupted, as the facility gets under attack from mysterious forces. While from the surface a huge horde of (obviously) gangsters fights its way down, a water breach has flooded the basement and some fleeing workersreport that the rotten flesh from the corpse chambers there has started to move.
Before Peter tries to get military support, he hands over a sixgun to Robert and tells him that he must stop the water rushing in from below, as the automatic contamination prevention will lock off their sector untill no more water is coming in from below.
Robert loads the weapon and starts into the second huge adventure of his live....

As already told: This is some private playing around with the X10 to learn a little bit about that. Don`t expect much!
