Facility B Screenshots + Info

"Welcome, Mr Peter Y. Reynolds, to Facility B of the Experimental Weapons Division."

<This blog is dedicated to information on Clan Anticivilian's upcoming game, called Facility B>

The old version of the game, which some of you may have played, was an uber-violent extremely difficult top-down shooter. Well, the newer version that the clan and I are currently working on is a remake of that, except in 3D. This game was inspired primarily by Doom3 (created by id softward) and Pyre, a character from a GM game (which was called Pyre) who was created by Ergo. If it weren't for him, this project wouldn't be in development for now, so everybody applaud him!

The game is powered primarily by a currently unnamed engine created by lo_lord, using GM's built-in D3D functions. Technologically, it is most probably the best engine created using these functions, but that will be for you guys to decide when you play it.

Anyways, what you guys all really want is screenshots, so here they are. I haven't really revealed models of enemies and stuff while the character is in combat, but it shows off a few basic visual effects that are present in the game.

^Here's some basic lighting, and you can see the fake bump-mapping effect on the walls, and the reflections through the floor. ALL of these visuals were created by lo_lord.

^Eye adjustment visual. If you look directly at a llight, or go suddenly from a bright area to a dark area, your eyes need time to adjust. This effect emulates that. This was created by me, the HUD effects are about all I'm good for :/

^Red lighting, which is found in the maintenance areas of the facility. You can also see the old untextured shotgun model, which needs to be updated.

^And finally the nightvision. Initially the game had a flashlight, for those who saw an early gameplay video of this, but there were too many problems involved with it, and nightvision would seem more realistic anyway, since the player is in a advanced weapons development facility.

Wow! Dem sum purty screens right der! I like the fake bumpmapping especially. The shiny-ness of the floor is well done to. Finish this game or die by spoon!

update those guns, and make the nightvision green, or at least red with thick red on the lights…that aqua is just disgusting.

Nice looking effects, but the red lights pretty boring.

@Mat: The red lights are dynamic, they sorta pulse from brightness 0.25-0.75 using a sin wave.

@Joseph: Green nightvision is old-school. New nightvision is a cool-blue color, then I added a few extra layers of a bloom blending effect to make it look computerised. It looks cooler in real-time, trust me.
