First off, let's see some of the insane action in motion for Serious Sam Double D!
That was the first official gameplay trailer for the game. There will be some more trailers highlighting various aspects such as the GunStacker system.
With a few weeks before release, Serious Sam Double D has undergone a drastic but excellent change that heavily increases the replayability of the game.
Previously the game followed a simple structure: You battled your way from the start to the end, finding powerups and cool secrets. But if you happen to miss anything, the only real way to get it was to start from the beginning again and hope to remember where it was.
Not anymore!
Now Sam has a Persistent Inventory system which means any gun, connector, secret, or challenge you happen to find, he gets to keep in any level. Plus, you can replay any previous level you've been!
Yes, you can take all the guns you've been collecting all along the way and head back to easier, previous levels any time you want and search for more hidden guns, secrets, or challenges tucked about.
So while initially you may have only had access to 3 guns in the first level, you can battle half way through the game, then replay the first level, now with something more like 12 guns and tons of connectors! Then you can find more weapons, then head *back* to level 7 or 8 (or wherever you were) with yet-more guns to better even the odds.
Returning to level 1 with a 5 gun stack, ready to fine more loot!
Plus we have good news that the Secrets menu is working great. You can look any time you want at secrets you've unlocked and revisit the funnier ones, or just use it to know how many are still to be found. And because the inventory is persistent, you can simply play from whatever secret you visit and any more powerups you find will be added to your inventory for access in later levels or your current one.
And one extra helper is the Treasure icon. It definitely doesn't make it too easy, but it does fade in slowly if you're getting warm when finding a secret.
2 player coop maybe? nobody will buy a singleplayer game...its 2011
Mommy's best rock! I like the soundtrack and the gameplay seems a total riot. Can't wait.
@Leicheh @resserection @MrTambourineMan @SPY-maps
Thanks! We went pretty much for straight rock'n'roll (which I love) and some speed metal for the action. Works well, gets the blood flowing! Of course you'll be able to turn the music if metal's not your thing.
@medve
It will be single player initially. We're looking at possibly doing coop in the future as an update for the PC and 360 version. We'll see!
@GossamerSolid
Yup as Leicheh pointed out we were hand-picked by Croteam to make a spin-off of Serious Sam in our own style based on how much they liked our first game "Weapon of Choice".
They also picked Vlambeer (Super Crate Box-PC) and Be-Rad (Lame Castle-iOS) to make their own different, lovably-crazy versions of Sam.
what a bull!!
sorry, but loads of people still buy only SP games!!
great indie game by the way, loved serieus sam, and this one has that real SS feeling to it!

Do want. NOW.
Cant wait for this!
This looks funny, but do you have the permissions from Croteam to use their character, story and pretty much everything else?
Yes MommyBestGames has the permission.
