Forgotten (WIP title)

Hello hello hello all you wondaful peeps


Soooo I havent been on here in a while, but Im still working on a project. For the recorddd, Cybercrisis is complete and I was holding out on releasing it until ive got a good little cut scene put together the the ending, but aside from replacing a "YOU WIN" screen with a lil animation I literally have nothing else to add


But Im here to talk about a new project show a few screenshots. The working title is Forgotten.

At the moment, this is very much a tech demo - but we have a vibe/direction were going in and its kind of a first person survival horror. Obviously for a project of this scope, we're going to need DIV to be able to handle 3D models and full colour, so until that happens this will remain as a nicely constructed tech demo only (I also have a sound/music guy who really throwing himself into it, a close personal friend of mine) - the main reason I'm working in mode 8 and haven't left to go to UNITY or something is twofold:

Firstly, I want to show that I can do it, since when I was young I had no freakin idea what i was doing.

Secondly, I want to show that in an old raycasting engine, some amazing things *CAN* be done if youre just careful about how you construct your levels, areas, etc.

This whole idea came out of an initial test of the rooms over rooms hack/function that I've written, which so far is functioning really well - two are present in the project so far and work reliably well. Since then I've incorporated the functions from the old Mode 8 tech test I made a while back, and added things like momentum to dom cooks swinging door code

Here's a few screenshots, sorry that in some of them the texture for the ceiling and the walls is the same - its hard to get things that look good in DIVs current colour pallete :p

Hope all is well with yall!

Hello breadcaster,

looks impressive, eager to try out the first playable version or demo.

keep it up.

More screenshots!!

New features -

* Properly textured sprite bars/thin walls using a graphics array
* Use of ambient fog
* Flickering lights now affect fog in those areas (if youre in them, or looking into them from another area)
* Graffiti decals taken from real life :P (specifically, Brick Lane in London)


Playable alpha will be available as soon as I can work out how to get a working standalone install of it!! Haha.

I'm not a friend of such 3D games but i like your style. It looks good!

How is progress after 2 months?

going well, tho i wont be posting a beta of any kind until DIV is able to compile it properly as right now it wont work properly outside the dev environment waiting on that new release...

just because you asked, dennis - this is how progress is coming along

EDIT: my apologies for the pinkish/white line running down the left side, thats just my awful cropping of the screenshot :p
