Crime City

Hi,

I wanted you all to have the first glimpse of the new game I developed, CrimeCity, ready for public release in about two weeks from now.
The game will be published by Games2Gaze, a Greek publishing company.

It's a casual-type of game, I guess it belongs to the RTS genre.
Be sure to check the ingame Help (Tutorial) before playing.

Some credits are in order:
- The enemy & friendly AI code was based on the Perfect AI series (AUM) by my favourite guy, George Pirvu.
- Level design by another GS forum member, ancientIdol.
- Title theme, as always in my games, by the incredibly talented Pedro Camacho
(although the in-game music in this demo is from CounterStrike because the original theme is still in the works).

Download link (45 mb)

ANY comment or report for bug will be greatly appreciated

Cheers.

I hope they will fix it soon. Server bandwidth has exceeded the limit as I was told that there were 1300 unique visits in a day and more than 600 downloads. As I already said, a press release's effects are indeed overwhelming... you should get a new server. on a bad month, i get more than 14 000 visits. my record is over 500 000 visits, that was last fall. overall, looks okay so far, plays nice, nothing ti nitpick, except the textures. you used low resolutiont extures, made them bigger and added a posterisation effect. i see this, because i used that trick in the past too but fits the style so iguess its okay^^ IceValk Entertainment Website My online portfolio

What puzzles me though is this feedback I got at indiegamerforums about "The textures are very jagged". Does this mean that they are low resolution, as sPlKe also said? Is this noticeable on the top-down (ingame) view also or just when you're too close (in briefing screen)? After all, a resolution 512x512 for the building textures is not enough? immersionFX Games presents: Days of Sail: Wind over Waters CrimeCity

There aren't literally pixels visible in your textures right? A wait, I just looked at the textures again and I think they are referring to how every texture looks pretty sharp and rough with points in them. On your road texture for example you can see quite sharp points, that does indeed look 'jagged', Cheers PHeMoX, Innervision Software (c) 1995-2008 For more info visit: Innervision Software

What's the best photoshop technique to employ so that they don't look so 'jagged'? Thanks. immersionFX Games presents: Days of Sail: Wind over Waters CrimeCity

It's true that they've recently been denied a renewal because it's a 'generic descriptive' instead of a (unique) name. ( http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77131612 ) Don't worry though, they probably will be able to get a copyright on Ultimate Duck Hunting (Wii) and I don't think people would think about any other company but Nintendo when thinking about Duck Hunt anyway.
