G.R.U.N.T.S. OUT NOW!!

BUY G.R.U.N.T.S. - Episode 1 HERE!

English:
G.R.U.N.T.S. is an episodic first person adventure. Each episode follows a certain scheme. Parodies of classic videogame cliches aswell as playing with the perception of the unique graphical style open up a new depth of the game world.

The story is predictably simple: Some guy wakes up in a videogame. He does not really know how he got here, but since a big breasted woman (of course) and some guns (obviously) are at play, he decided to play along in defeating the evil alien virus (what else?) to get back home.

The main focus of the game is it to explore the world and the humor in this graphically fascinating new world. Of course there is a fair batch of action, still greeted with the strange humor of the game.

G.R.U.N.T.S. - Episode 1 KAUFEN!

Deutsch:
G.R.U.N.T.S. ist ein First Person Adventure im episodischen Format. Jede Episode folgt einem gewissen Schema. Es werden klassische Videospielklischees aufgearbeitet und durch den Kakao gezogen und es wird mit dem einzigartigen Grafikstil gespielt um neue, faszinierende Schichten der Spielwelt zu erschaffen.

Die Handlung ist denkbar einfach: Ein Mann wacht plötzlich in einem Videospiel auf. Er weiß zwar nicht genau, wie er hierher gekommen ist, aber da er hier von einer großbusigen attraktiven Frau (natürlich) nicht nur mit Informationen versorgt, sondern auch mit Waffen (selbstverständlich) ausgestattet wird, die ihm helfen sollen, gegen den bösen Alienvirus (was auch sonst?) zu bestehen, stimmt er dem Wahnsinn zu, um wieder nach Hause zu kommen.

Der Gedanke des Spiels ist es hauptsächlich, neben dem sehr eigenen Humor und dem simplen, aber wirkungsvollen Grafikstil, die Spielwelt zu erkunden und Rätsel zu lösen. Selbstverständlich kommt dabei die Action auch nicht zu kurz. Doch auch dabei schlägt sich wieder der schräge Humor durch.

Ah, Error is at it again. And I love it^^

So...
THe games humor is a mixture between the senseless and often ultra low standard of Family Guy (without Fart jokes however) and the slapstick of the Naked Gun movies, mixed with alot of fourth wall breaking self awareness jokes. Most of the gags are audio based, some of them are visual. I tried to put the humor in the background of the scene while still have it to play with the asthetics of games and the visual style.
For instance, a scene where a scientists may talk about some serious stuff to progress the story, another scientist in the background may have an accident of funny proportions. You will soon see what i mean. Or watch the Q scenes from the james bond movies.

and that brings me to the second question: story.
It will be the telltale type of episodic gaming. While each episode is self contained, they all follow the overarching plot.
I tried to incorporate some mystery into the game. Where exactle are you? why are you there? what is going on. how did you get here. what happened here. the explanation that you are in a videogame is only a half truth.

each episode will shed more light onto those questions. think LOST meets TRON (only that we dont have purgatory XD)

all in all, by the end of the last episode, all questions will be answered.
i plan to release a few viral videos and other stuff over the course of time to build a bigger, coherent universe. and i also plan on releasing the last episode wink

last but not least, the name has something to do with the story of the game. it stands for Generated Remote Units - Negative Tactical Software.
and while this does sound pretty silly (because it is, and compeltely made up) it is the truth and a very important plot point.

thanx for asking laugh

The game is really nice.
On of the best shooters for shure.

What I did not like, was that the enemies somehow
blend into the environment too much.

Maybe they could get some blinking effect (fast white to grey)
skin-blinking / shimmering
Or someting else, that makes them faster noticable.


I would suggest puttting in some Status/Log popup,
that tells the player what the mission is.
Similar to the old Quake screen.

Saving the game needs to be improved.
The inkey blink and slots are invisible.
Loading a savegame made me stuck on the floor, unable to
move.

its not a virus. george packed it with his pro version so this may cause the error...

yeah, some features are still not implemented in this version, but will be in the final version, like blinking enemies to show how much damage they have taken for example laugh

and the saving thing i know, i just dont know WHY they are invisible XD

didn't guess that it's a virus! but you should solve it at all (for a commercial project like this)

That's... strange. I've never encountered this problem before.

Well, I'll look into it.
