dude, wat kinda pic is that, this is a game design forum, people from everywhere come here, i think thats out of place and should be removed, i dont care about how anyone chooses to defend it, this is MY opinion, this is also my last post on that topic.... bac to tha game...

Bad pic. Remove it.

I like the character design. I normally don't care much for the buff hero, because the hero's always buff in games, but I like how he's not your spunky character. He's rough looking. He's not pretty. He fits the game really well, and is not typical. He looks relatively unique.

@Ratchet: We actually do care what the main character looks like. Even though in Half-Life and Half-Life 2 we don't see Gordon Freeman, he's still an important character and we associate his appearance with the game. Also, to say that we'll never see the main character assumes this game will make no attempts to diversify itself within the FPS genre, and also assumes the main character won't be playable if there's multi-player.

How about playing as a grim reaper
who has had enough of his dumb zombies^^

I'd go for the middle one, being a teen iN the 80's as I was.
But give him an eye-patch instead of shades, and a cobra chest-tattoo.
(Snake Pliskin from the "Escape from NY/LA" movies)

But honestly, seeing as there is no real storyline (if i remember correctly)
then why not have a character selection screen as game start.
Different character models that have NO impact on gameplay.

So you can choose Anit-Hero, Leather-clad chick, geek, whatever.
I'd love to see an Alice(from the resident-evil MOVIES) look-alike...

Yes we've also thought about that point (many diffrent cahrackters you can choose from). Because we're running a "no budget production" here, only one hard-guy will become our super hero in the game

So stay tuned, the title-screen is in the works...

We've uploaded a new movie:
[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQCr0Lz04Vo[/video]

* new DOF effects -> when reloading the weapon, only the weapon is focused now
* improved screen-blood
* added some details to the test rooms
* added flare effects
* added new gibs

Nice.
I really love the 'clink-clink' of the ammo-belt of the machine when just walking around.

One point of concern. When firing the shotgun, the camera/player is moving back after every shot.
Is that recoil or just the play-testers habit?
If its recoil then I dont like it.
If its the playtesters kayboard style, thats cool.

Recoil: It's me, trying to play a fps game We don't like recoil effects besides of "Special" weapons, so there is no recoil for one of the weapons you've seen in the video.

Thats cool, I tend to do he same when Im really "into" a session.

The screen splatter looks very good. But you have to find a balance between enemy count and reducing the effect. When I killed one and my screen is full of blood, it is hardly to follow the killing of other coming enemies.
When there is just one following, the effect is cool. But when the player is killing no 4 and still got the blood of no 1 in his face...
this doesn´t fit.
