Max Payne mod | Released Jan 4, 2008
The story so far...
It's Christmas Eve and Dinky is pissed.
After returning home from his last adventure, Dinky discovers that his family have (once again) been kidnapped by the forces of evil. A mysterious trail of toys, tinsel, and wrapping paper leads into the night...
Enraged and with nothing to lose, Dinky heads out to save his family from a grizzly (yet seasonal) demise.
Features:
-Dinky, the world's leading Acrtic Avenger™, returns in a brand new Christmas-themed adventure!
-3d Action adventure inspired by N64 classics like Banjo-Kazooie, and over-the-top shooters like Serious Sam.
-Epic snow-ball fights - with Bullet-Time!™
-Hi-tech Christmas weaponry, including: the Turkey Blaster 6000™, Jingle Ball Launcher™, 'The Mincer'™ (mince pie launcher), and much more!
-Northern Style Polar Bear Kung Fu
-Colourful and crazy enemies including Evil Elves, Killer Penguins, and Santa himself!
-More zany, offbeat humour from the developers of Katana, The Real World, and Polar Payne.
-Over the top voice acting!
-Totally rubbish cardboard trees - presented in RetroVision!
Coming Christmas 2007!
About
This project was originally made for university, as part of our game production management degree. The main part of the project (besides development) was to produce extensive documentation, including GDD, APP, and TDD; recruit and manage a small team; and present (pitch) the initial concept and final game. You can view the production documentation on our production wiki. It was made in the spring/summer of 2007, in a time span of under 9 weeks (including pre-production) - hence why the quality is perhaps lower than comparable mods of this size. Since then, I've held onto it, and when I've had the chance, tried to polish it a little.

i love this game so much
lol this game has a flamethrower wicked
this is a very good game because is has nice weapons and has dead on arrival.
Okay, here it is, at last!
Rapidshare.com (Thanks Halloween4!)
Sorry it's a generic host, but I'm not going to be able to upload it to moddb until the weekend sometime. If anyone wants to setup mirrors, they're more than welcome to.
Now about the mod - I'll point out now that you'll more than likely require a fairly decent PC (by todays standards) - especially for the first level. Even then, please pay special attention to the performance section of the included pdf manual for getting the best quality-performance tradeoff. I always say this, but if you think you can get away with AA, think again.
The only thing I'll point out is that this was made for a university game production class, not game design, so don't expect an amazing showcase for MaxED graphics or a masterclass in gameplay scripting. We were on a really tight development schedule of about 6-9 weeks. To make things more interesting, the guy who mapped the second level had never worked with 3d before, so I had teach him everything in about 3 weeks. Of course, I polished it up a little over the Christmas holidays, but I'm not an amazing mapper by any standard. Still having said all that, I think the trees in our mod are amazing, and are sure to give Crysis a run for it's money -- I'm sure you'll agree. :p
Anyway, have fun, hope you enjoy the mod, and have a merry (belated) christmas and a happy new year.
Status update: Turned out the mod needed a bit more playtesting, and unfortunately I'm back on 56k modem over holidays (it'll take me 10 hours just to upload)., so............ the mod might be a day or so late... . :( The new release target is boxing day -- please accept my apologies, but I'm trying to be as quick as possible.
Currently I'm rendering the levels on my other pc, stay tuned!
Lol why am I a member of this mod?
For some reason i can edit everything, how do I leave this game?
It's because you're associated with lone modders group - you can probably edit Halloween's DOTD as well. PLEASE don't touch anything - it's only temporary thing until I release the mod. ;)
The original was so much fun! This one looks even better. :)
I hope so - the aim was to take everything that worked in the first one, and amplify it. Also I think (well, hope) the Christmas theme will have a wide appeal.
