How Long Will You Survive? [/center]



Story:

You are a group of people that were going to the movies... That soon all changed. Just as the movie was finishing you heard actual screams outside the theature. Naturaly you were scared enough to wet your pants... But you went and checked to see what is was anyway. When you went out you found the city destroyed, dead bodys lined the streets, there was fire everywhere. You were devestated. Then you herd something, a type of moaning. You then run as fast as you can to the nearest gun shop and when you enter you found the shoper dead with a knive through his gut flat agenst the floor. You decide that you need these weapons more than he does... So you take as much as you can cary, and you head down the street, You don't knwo what will happen, But you are the only hope...

How Long Will You Survive?


Map Statistics:

Badlands, Asphalt, skyscarpers,
256x256
5 players,3 computers ( could be changed )

Gameplay:

As stated it will be a Real Time Combat Battle System. As you wander the streets you will see monsters walking around, be it zombies, deamons, Ghouls... There will be special items laying around witch you can pick up. These items could be mission items or items to help you. There will be skyscrapers and buiuldings including buildings like, The Train Station, The Lab, The Library, The Church, Office Buildings, and more... Not all building will be able to go inside becasue then the whole map would be wasted on building insides.


Items and Weapons:


Weapons:

Shotgun
MachineGun
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Sniper Rifle
(Weapon Names Will Come Later)


Items:

Grenades
Herbs
Mission Items

(There are more but I'm not posting them)

sweet dude can i be a tester?

If you wrote than then i congratulate you.
If it's based on a game then good job on choosing a good story.

I made it up as i went... lol

Anyway im adding more stuff sice i accidentaly clicked post new topic instead of preview post...

they need to be color coded or something lol....

EDIT: Battle system changed to Real Time Combat for gameplay purposes.

Nice 'mon can I be a tester?

Cool! I'll be the first to DL it when you're done(unless I can test it?) And you're saying that you're like a civilian (marine) who can walk around and pick up power up things and drive cars(tanks, vultures, etc. and stuff?

No...

Your an average civillain that has to survive as lon as they can in the cityu wgile trying to kill all the monsters adn savinbg the rest of the world...

Example Mission:


You need to find the keycard in the sewers to get into the lab.
Once in the lab, Find out what really happened.

Looks reall cool

I can help with any sort of balancing or testing you'd need if ya want. This seems like a pretty good idea. How will you start it off, in a "movie theater" after the moie is done with a wav of someone screaming?

long*
city*
while?*
and*
saving*
so i cant be a tester

2 ScreenShot Added...(Movie Theature Outside)

7 Building Outsides Finished...
I am taking my time on the buildings making them look like they fit in and Each building takes 10 minutes...

My mom doesn't really want me on my computer during the weekdays so i will be having the major updates during the weekends...

ScreenShots Added:

Here's some suggestions:

(First Picture)
•Add the line that goes in the middle of the road to show 2 lanes.
•Maybe add a few signs, we live in the world of advertisement you know.
•Some traffic and people. You're missing the environment.

(Second Picture)
This is the movie theatre?
•Give it doors.
•Make the ground look more like indoors.
•Make the walls go much higher. You are "indoors", right? Give it that feel.
•Make the theatre screen much bigger.
•Align the seats with the terrain(Hint: Adjust the grid settings).
•Make the audience face the screen.
•Use triggers for the starting and ending of shows, as in when a show is finished, people leave. When it starts, people come in.

Unless you're going to be using 255 locations in your map, then don't. But there's a way you can make people enter and leave the theater by using 1 location.

The Reason I have no people is because i havent begun to place units yet... Im geting the terrain done then adding in the deatains such as sprites, Signs, Roadblocks.

I dont think im going to add in 2 lanes because it will take up 2 much space.
if i get the time i will thou.

I tryed to get the chairs aligned to the screen and i will do better when i have the time.


So far the 5 people in the theature are the 5 people in the game ( players )
They will be sitting there. An explosion wave and screams will play then you will get control of the players.

PS: there isnt supposed to be anyone... Everyone dead remember

Too bad that Dead Marine Doodlepad from the Installation Tileset isn't included in Sprites, eh?

Yes but the mood must be set before the explosion. Once the explosion occurs, don't just "kill everyone", only kill those in the explosion. You then see millions of people running away.

That's a good idea; make it so the fog of war covers the walls so you can't see the top of the building.

Take DeathKnight's suggestions seriously. Also what happened to your other map? Did you wuit on it? What are some of the items that we can have? Is this kind of like Resident: Evil with a new story... (Lab, zombies...) Looks good. Try to complete this one too!!!!

Ya it will be like a residen evil kinda rpg

Places:

City Park
Lab
Office Towers
Sewers
Some Small Buildings
Movie Theature
Gun Shops
Houses
Factorys
T.V Station


They all could become into the story line.
Right now i can tell you that the sewers are a part, The lab is a part, The Movietheature, and the TV Station


PS: Only this 1 city was destroyed, Other neghboring citys might want to see what happened for themselves

Wow this sounds like it is going to shape up into quite the game. Keep mapping, get us more pictures and maybe a trailer///demo soon!!!

Heres a suggestion: spell check lol, looks good so far.
