Hello people! This project isn't dead! It's very much alive, but again slightly different in presentation!
I've decided that trying to re-make GTA is a bit of a cheap idea, especially as there are so many other avenues of potential gameplay to create, so.... it's taking a new direction.
What is it?
A sandbox "disaster" game, the player can control any of a number of human / alien / zombie / civilian / military units and play their part in the destruction / defense / survival of a city under attack.
Playing as "baddies" (ie aliens, zombies etc) the objective is to harm as many people as possible!
Playing as a civilian the objective is to stay alive as long as possible
and finally playing as the military involves defending the city from attack.
Right now I've got military units in there and some robot aliens from Mars.
There are some pretty cool limb rotation features that mean that units actually rotate their guns/turrets whatever towards what they are shooting.
Buildings, trees and the rest of the level furnature will all be destructible, and the potential environment size is huge (as you can see from the screens, I'm running at about 60FPS with 560 city blocks!
Anyway, tell me whatcha think!
I want robotic legs.
