The Haunted is a multiplayer third person shooter with human players controlling the enemies. One player is the haunted and the other players are demonic spirits who have to do everything in their malevolent power to prevent the haunted from lifting his curse.  Demons have to work together, possess creatures, place traps and perform environmental actions to agonize and finally kill the haunted. Whereas the haunted has to survive and investigate eerie places to finally liberate himself from the malediction.

Features
:

  • As The Haunted it is action focused survival gameplay with realistic weapons, right in the vein of Resident Evil but with total freedom in movement and a more intense weapon handling.
  • The unique gameplay as demon allows you to spawn as powerful creature or place vicious traps almost everywhere on the map, creating an unpredictable threat for the haunted.
  • Creatures are mostly humanoid, but unlike normal zombies they have special movement abilities like climbing and pouncing. Others are equipped with weapons or arcane powers.
  • The Haunted must search the environment to find new weapons, ammo and items that will help him to make a stand against the undead menace.
  • Minimal hud design for creatures and haunted. Damage is shown on the characters with blood splatter, dirt and scars along with post processing effects and physical hit animations.
  • Levels will include classic haunted places such as a cursed chapel, cabin in the woods, ghost town, sewers of a urban city, dark catacombs and more.

The first set of images shows two of the games playable creatures, the over the shoulder cam and some violence. I will keep this site updated with new information and media as it becomes available, but development currently takes the top priority. Actually the images only show off test maps, but this will hopefully change soon.

Since it’s only one person currently working on the mod, some additional people are needed to get a public release out of the door.

Level Designers
The Haunted needs experienced level designers the most. You will create moody and atmospheric environments based in reality, but with a unique touch and a more stylized look. The mapping for this game isn’t complicated and i’am not looking for uber-high detail graphics.You don’t need to be able to make high poly art, but you should be able to model and texture your own static meshes and have some basic knowledge of integrated ue3 tools like the material editor and kismet. Of course you may also use ut3 stock assets as long as they fit.

Testers
To get ready for a public release, the haunted also needs a small team of testers who will help balancing the gameplay and find bugs. Knowledge of bug tracking software isn’t required, since the project is not that huge. You should know who to set up a UT3 server. Previous experience in testing games, especially unreal mods is a huge plus.

If you think you can help, send an email with samples of previous work or a link to a portfolio page (not testers) to TheHaunted@Faceoffgame.de or just send me a private message!

Thanks. :) The enemies are player controlled. There will likely be AI minions as support, but players choose when and where they spawn.
