Link to the original Steemit thread where I released the project (Steemit is important as it can potentially earn money to help me fund the project)
Download the game and view more information about the project here.
Here is a live Stream of me playing the game earlier today.
I want to submit this project for a possible grant. This project started off with fairly casual intentions but is now my main focus as it is something I have always wanted to do.
Any advice on how I might be able to promote / fund the project is very welcome.
The Demo includes
3 playable levels. 2 of these levels have had a full art and sound pass and one of them is still in a blockmesh state.
Over 20 unique weapon types.
Various different armor sets with different stats and values.
7 Different enemy types, each with their own stats and weapons.
New Game plus functionality. You can replay the demo multiple times for harder and harder challenges. Everything levels up and tougher mobs will spawn for harder fights.
A fully functional Crafting system that allows you to upgrade and modify gear.
A battle system where you face pre set battles in order to obtain loot rewards as well as access further into the world.
The Demo Lacks
Enemies lack unique sound effects
Enemies lack animations
There is still plenty of visible placeholder art within the user interface and the game world.
Heavy weapons currently do not have graphics and sound (They still function as intended)
Advanced weapons currently do not have graphics and sound (They still mostly function as intended)
Grenade launchers currently do not have graphics and sounds (They still function as intended)
Proper automap functionality is slated for the game
What I want the game to become
8 unique locations each with their own challenges. This can range from unique situations or enemies to full scale boss battles. (The Intro level and HUB do not count, I mean 8 fully sized levels filled with mobs and secrets)
A show but don’t tell style story where you have to be looking for the clues to know what happened and what is going on.
Hand crafted levels utilizing my level design skills to the max. No randomly generated content. Everything is built with purpose. If you liked my previous work this will dwarf of those projects.
Coop, you can team up with a friend to face the games harder challenges together.
Character creation, you can choose from a list of preset character classes with various stat differences
Abilities that you can upgrade and equip to further enhance the game play experience. (Super attacks, teleporting, area of effect healing ect)
Equipment that gives you super jumping and jet packs.
Secrets, lots and lots of secrets containing special named loot with unique stats and at least one secret level.
And more, my ultimate goal will be to get the game into state where I can continue to add more content regularly. More levels, more boss battles, more enemy types, more loot.
