Necrotech Warfare is a turn based strategy game played from the first person. Set shortly after the first game, you must command the military special forces teams against the plague victims that are infesting the city.

The alpha version is now available from http://www.spectre-software.com , so why not check it out and let me know what you think?

Nice outlook and very fast loading. Arrowkeys swing camera too hasty. Is 58 fps (on lower right corner) too much? And what are script errors?

Nope 58fps is not too much, the camera is time sliced so you will get a smoother experience, not faster.

Maybe I should add an option to tweak the turning speed.

Script errors are errors in my program, if you can remember what caused them please let me know

OK, so in turning you slide too much, turning is not precise. Maybe floor is icy
At very beginning if you click 'items' or 'maps' you get always script error.

When moving in corridors 'Action points' goes down in few seconds and game is over. Maybe I should read more instructions.

Thanks for pointing out the bugs with maps and items. I should have just removed the buttons until the code for those is implemented! Oops!

Ok I recommend you read the readme (link to it on the start menu) to learn about turn based games. In summary, each unit has a number of action points and once they are used up you must end turn and at the start of the next turn the action points are recovered.
