Desolated: The Crying Fate Mod for Doom III Last infos before Pre-Alpha is finished for testers news

Desolated: The Crying Fate

Doom III mod | Coming Q1 2009

In Desolated you play an Ex-Marine Dave who lost his family. The so called "Monsters" holded up a supermarket and killed his wife same as his two children. In this belief he wanted just to kill all that creatures, no matter of the price. But soon he'll understand, that he fought against the wrong and that there's no real evil or good... In Desolated: The Crying Fate you play the revenge-campaign of Dave and you will get through a lot of different places, for example a village, a train, a facility and so on. So the architecture is going to change very often and also the way of mastering the different places, either. The Modification will have new maps, models, textures, sounds etc. same as a money system, a "new" weapon called Firegun instead of the Plasmagun. What is so special about the mod is the story written by a talented story-writer and the plot is about the good and evil complex, but not like good vs. evil, it's going to be more special and new, a mod with a new kind of story.

I know it's bin a while since the last news was posted. I couldn't believe it on myself as I realized it, either. But there's a reason, why there was no sign of life. I had to work hard, very hard on the desert level so it's playable for the alpha-testers. It isn't finished yet, only the first part. And this one will be special... ok, so I can make a statement; 3 maps (and in catacombs some scenes) will be in third person. So this mod also will include thirdperson scenes same as thirdperson fights etc. Why? Well, the 3 maps where it's used will be some kind of role-playing level. There will be a bunch of quests etc. to earn money. And with that money you can, for sure, buy ammo, new weapons etc. Catacombs will be a jump&run location, so therefore the thirdperson is the best way to handle those situations. Ok, I think that should be enough for now. But... I can't wait to tell another other fact. Everyone knows the new kind of shooters out there like Timeshift and CoD4. There a health regeneration is used to avoid searching all the time for medkits. The same thing will be used in the last levels after the hero learned it. Why? The story will tell!
Honestly this wasn't all, we also got a new achievement (graphical) but I won't tell you now. So wait for the beginning of the next week or maybe even this weekend, who knows...

PS: Have I told you that the money system is finished? It is, thanks to MacX who made this possible!!
