A game I've been working on for a couple of weeks now, most of the internal coding is done, now for the media, levels, sound, music and HUD need to be created and finished, easy

The Orchid is a High Security fully Automated Facility were something has gone drasically wrong. Gameplay will be 3rd perspective, leaning towards evading confict and enemies. Puzzles and watching enemy patrols will also feature heavily.

Games which have influenced me : Commandoes, Thief and KOTOR2 and Amiga game called Paradroid 90

I'm hoping in the coming months to finish the project.





Thanks

Incredible Level, you might want to pick up Milkshape though to get some real models in their.

A Pic of a Security Bot, a rehash of an older model.

I'm working on level design first, then onto models.

If you want any help with level design and concepts, give me a ring; this looks like my kind of game.

Cool stuff, just out of curiosity, where did you get the floor texture in the last shot?

TY for the kind words.

@Megaton - Not sure where I got the floor texture from, I think it was a free Texture Pack, but I couldn't find it in any of my Zip files.

I've been messing around with the music and sounds for the game, I'm trying for a atmospheric/tense sonic landscape. I've included a link to a piece of music I've worked on as an example of what I'm going for. Let me know what you think

I've just finished coding the Cameras as well, if you stay in their view for a period of time they will set off an alarm which spawns Sec-Bot out of viewpointed at your last known position - ***System Shock 1&2 also influenced me. They need to make a third installment of that frachise.

I'm thinking of not letting the character have access to any weapons. The player will be a Civilian Tech who is seperated from the military and needs to survive with his tech know now. What do you guys think, are weapons needed?

i think no weapons would make it really interesting.. and more of a spy game

Started on the intro level, which will introduce the HUD and basics as well as the storyline and objectives. Damn I hate modelling people though.


Finally got transparent windows happening

The lighter door has been selected to open

I like blue

The distance the camera will be away.

Any comments (good, bad) would be appreciated

I'm at a crossroad, should I develope the game as a top down rpg/puzzle or from a FPS view or have the camera behind the player, not so good for puzzles but looks better. Included a video of what I mean.

Any comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks
