NEWS AND STUFF!
Well, my aim to update weekly has gone to pot a bit, but hey, it's only been a fortnight. Things are starting to move on rather nicely now. We have a couple more screenshots to show you:
These are from an early area of the mod, in the First Class area of the ship. As usual, areas may be subject to change, but everything's starting to fall into place in a sort of 'in-game' fashion now, which is always nice to see.
We have a couple of top guys working on some music and sound effects for Neptune, and it's all sounding absolutely fantastic. In-game, the combination of 1940s music with the creaking and moaning of the partially-destroyed ship works wonders. I found myself sat on the edge of my seat when exploring a level that I designed. That either means I'm the biggest wuss in the world, or we're doing something right.
We're almost at a stage where we're ready to write up the script, at which point we'll be requiring a talented team of voice artists. If you're interested, please send me a private message.
'Til next time, folks...
Lewis & the Neptune lot x
Looks great, a quick peice of advice don't promise to update weekly. It's nice but unless you have a dedicate PR guy and a lot of content to show it will lead to a couple of probs. Firstly it will take your attention away from the actual mod work that you need to do and secondly it will water down the consitency of your Press Releases which could (and i do mean could) lead to people losing interest. Keep up the amazing work i'll be watching.
You're absolutely right - it was never the intention to do a full media release each week or anything... maybe just a development blog or just popping up to say hello.
Thanks for the comments :)
Theres some good advice! nice work so far keep it up!
Thats for sure. But still a nice peace of work. Cant wait to play it
Good luck.
Just wondering, what kind of voices do you need?
I had read your design concept in News,very interesting.
I'd like to ask about concept :
Is this game a RPG/FPS or horror shooter?
Liner or nonlinear ?
Will the stealth gameplay exist?
Can we choose to sneak around avoiding all the fightings?
Even without a shot to complete the game ?
Hi, thanks for your comment.
It's very much a first-person shooter/adventure. Its atmosphere takes heavy influence from games such as System Shock but there will be no skills or resource management, and while there will be non-essential areas to explore the main path through the game will be kept linear.
Stealth gameplay will be minimal, but it's not an all-out blaster. There will be quiet, exploration-based sections of the game. Imagine it, if you will, as a first-person survival horror game. Scarcity of weapons, ammunition and health; dark and threatening atmosphere; lots of room for exploration.
