So I've decided to start a new project by the numbers which isn't meant to be anything special other than a properly assemled, and created game.
Hopefully this will prove to speed up my developement 10 fold as I think it will because everything already seems much simpler now. Plus gameplay elements from this can later be moved to Titan-IC.
So here's the basic story summary so far which may not be historically accurate or anything but who cares it's a game right?
It's the year 2006 when taking a vacation through the German countryside an American tourists' scooter breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A storm looms overhead as the sky begins to rumble he runs into the woods seeking shelter from the storm.
As the rain pours down, and he huddles freezing and wet under a tree lightning flashes and he catches the silhouette of a building further into the woods.
Moving towards it he discovers what appears to be a old small WWII pillbox. So he forces the rusty door open, and rushes inside out of the storm.
The storm still booming outside, he huddles in the corner trying to get warm. Then he hears something...something strange coming from underneath the pillbox floor it seems. Looking around he uncovers a heavy concrete trap door. Curiosity overtakes him as he pry's it up revealing a dimly lit room with old WWII crates, and an old steel ladder leading down.
Heading down to see what hidden treasures he's found the ladder old and rusty suddenly breaks loose sending him crashing to the floor, and trapped within...The Bunker!
From there it's a matter of survival, and escape. As the bodies of the dead soldiers burried within come to life, and try to kill the invader.
So I think that makes for a neat little project. It's go undead Nazi soldiers, and will have old WWII weapons (gotta love the classic's) will be very maze like, and spooky, and will have a mystery as to why they were buried down there in the first place, and whats making them come back to life.
Sort of like a Doom meets WWII meets Resident Evil in the first person. So it has begun and hopefully if I lay it all out right things should go smoothly, and hey it might even be fun to play too
But like I said it's really more of a developement process learning project. I already have some WWII weapons in my models, and with such fixed content it won't take long to get it all done. It's 100x's hard when you have to invent 100 things than just do 100 things.
Edit: Just a note...I am going to avoid actually using the word Nazi, or having any Nazi symbols, etc in the game. I'm sure there are many German people out there who would enjoy playing a little freeware game like this, and perhaps on this forum.
So I don't think stuff like that is necessary to get the effect I am going for. It's an american tourist vs. undead soldiers. It doesn't need any nasty nazi or anti-nazi propaganda or whatever you want to call it to be enjoyable.
Also I think according to German law even possesion of a game demo that has nazi symbols etc in it is illegal.
