Blood The Reckoning

[N0t_mINe]

That first frame of a zombie rising on the far left of the screen looks frightning. I hope the rest of the animation sequence is that good.

[Caleb88]

SO, I prepared a small video that shows some of the action. SOME
Most of the animations are not be seen here! Thanks to Ransu for offering his Blood remastered soundtracks as background music^^
Oh....and please don't care so much about the framerate of the video...it's bad because the game-capture software is rather bad and slow, but the game runs full-speed in 60 stable FPS!!

Video here

I like the bit where the zombie has to adjust his head.

@tcherny

Agreed!

[Caleb88]

Hey hooo, time for a little try-out on the new Zombies. After adding some more animations and fixing some logical errors you can try out the actual game again. The map is the same as in the video.

I even added the first prototype of a game menu. You can pause the game whenever you want by pressing ESC. The options "New Game" and "exit" work, the rest isn't set yet. And NewGame causes a funny bug as the zombies don't dig any more. Damn I must search this code-line again that fixes this

Oh and when you shoot zombies you can see now a health bar that shows their life-points!
And remember:
Mouse for shooting and E for kicking!!!
Have FUN, it's worth a try.
And please some feedback!



Thank you....

Just saw that the download-link from the post above expired somehow??!?!
I uploaded it to another file-hoster, which seems better, so here the new downlad-link:

Awesome! I love the behavior of the zombies. The fast, 28 Days Later-type zombie is more menacing than the slower traditional type.

The zombies seem to run through the player and then forget you are there. Many like to run for the edge of the map

...Getting a new card just to play this ...

[Tchernobog]

Plays okay for me. FPS seems to hover in the mid to late 30s.

By the way: Did I ever show you my editor that I coded to create edit and set all the 3D-stuff in the game, maps, enemies, items o weapons?
My engine is called IDA.
It's in german cause I am austrian =)
Take a short look:

The first image shows the menu for making animations.

And the second one shows how objects are edited.

I admit I was way behind when I said something similar a few years ago but... don't most shooters have a fast zombie since 04' or so? Not that I'm up to date on my zombies mind you.

That editor looks very impressive

In case anyone is wondering what happened to this guy, I PMed him and got this reply:

Oh things are well, thanks.
I haven't worked on my Blood Game for a long time now, I have started some other and..smaller...game projects. But as a big fan of Blood I know the day will come when I pick up this theme again and a brandnew cool game will appear!

But what I can mention:
I created a funny game for a game-developing contest at my university. The theme was "the end of the world". I had 36 hours time to invent and make a game and at the end I had a funny 3D-shooter where you must kill living maya-stone-creatures with a bamboo-gatling in one minute.
Why I tell you this: You play as CALEB (people at my university dont't know^^) , a little easter-egg I added in this game. Whenever you kill a creature you can hear Caleb's laughs and some funny phrases. If you want, check out the gameplay-video:

Or try the game yourself, it's just one minute to play, it's not big and fun

aaaaand....one day I was bored and created a possible Blood 3-cover. I know it's not the best but full of hope

greetings, Caleb88, still huge Blood-Fan!

[Caleb88]

I think I will get back to game programming. I found my old game engine and the code I created for my blood remake...that.....never finished.
I have a lot of free time now so I thought it would be nice to take this "dead" project back and try to make something out of it.

For those who want to see what exactly I am doing...check this VIDEO out.



bloody greetings,

[I Live...AGAIN]

I'm excited!
