[Quake][WIP] Blaze
Posted: Tue May 13, 2014 9:54 pm
Thought it's time to make a thread for this here. I was thinking I'll post the more finished stuff, plans and thoughts in this thread.. and the more wip stuff in the "What are you working on?" thread.
//== Description
Blaze is a first person shooter action game using the DarkPlaces Engine. There may also be an extra model pack for some Doom engine(s) later. It is heavily inspired of Abuse, Doom and Quake series. The game environments will be sci-fi tech bases, alien hives, hell, etc. Earlier it was going to include some more fantasy elements, but that seems to have dropped away. The story is less important than gameplay, and for a long while it's been just this:"Lots of evil monsters attack. Only one person can fight back."
My plan/hopes are that I would be able to sell this game when it's done. It would have a free demo/shareware version too, which should still have quite a lot stuff like Doom, Quake, etc sharewares. This makes it a bit difficult to know what stuff to put in some alpha type demos (whatever I put in them, should remain in the shareware?).
//== Story
Earth is destroyed/ruined in a nuclear war. People have moved to Mars. There's some research going on in the Mars colony about making Earth habitable again, clean the environment and decrease mutations. Of course there's some people who have a different agenda on what to do with the research. Or maybe someone just screwed up real bad... Whatever it was, some sort of aggressive mutagen was introduced to the general population, and people started changing into dangerous mutants.
Anyway, one day, the day when the shit went real bad, there was this janitor cleaning up some armory in the Mars colony, when suddenly the guards became mad and tried to kill him. The janitor got lucky and defeated the guards. He started hearing lots of screams and gunfire outside the armory, so he thought he needs some more protection. The janitor donned the prototype armor suit and grabbed a plasma power sword. Stuff exploded and he had to get out before being able to pick up more weapons.
Now it's up to this one janitor, who somehow is immune to the mutagen, to clean up the mess before it destroys the whole Mars colony. (and then the game begins...)
