F4D Game Progress

Posted by JID on Dec. 21, 2011, 8:04 a.m.

this is how the game will look, though some of that isnt final.

we've got the engine pretty much nailed down, we have the story nailed down, and we've got a decent soundtrack.

just gotta add AI, colseed has to finish making the graphics and i have to finish making the actual game.

to give you an idea how the game will be, it'll be a horror game based in the 1950's, and since the main character is a detective, you'll use your detective skills to find out what happened to your hometown of Hollowshire and where your family is. also, it shall contain slow motion effects.

that's all i wanted to share.

it wouldn't fit well in the actual game. this is a horror game with guns, not a fantasy with flying snowmen. :p

example of some of the music i'll use in the game:

i know it's nothing great, but this is this is the best i could find.

i would like to have some more Bioshock-style music, that uses pianos and violins and all that kind of neat stuff. that would be better and would fit the 1950's time period that the game takes place in, and it'll fit great with the graphical style.

Wow, really dig the graphics. Looks like I won't be winning this competition! lol

older/classical music is another option too, free domain and all that :/

Music restrictions were removed in hopes that you guys will have good taste. If you think it'll work for your game, pretty much anything will work. Though I had soundtracks in mind when I said that. Lyrics are iffy in a game for me (think back to Sonic Adventure 2).

@S3xySeele

thanks. again, colseed takes the credit for the graphics.

@colseed

yeah, i guess i'll try that out, see how it feels with the game.

hope this helps, I recommend downloading them with youtube downloader and shortening them

nothing too noir-ish.

something more frightning and/or nervewrecking. it's a horror game, set in the 1950's.

Examples:

that sounds more fitting for the game.

i might as well just use the bioshock soundtrack. :p

but i don't want to rip music straight from another game.

eh.

If that's what you're looking for, might as well just rip it off
