Models

So I finally have them. These are some models for the game. One of them is a shot gun aiming through the scope! The blue guy is also the "main" character we will however make more characters and will not have to be blue "your choice". Also way more models coming, just gotta fix up the guns.

In the sound effects news, we have collected almost everything that is needed however this will not be published. Graphics development is going great so stay tuned.

Edit: the picture with the sniper being held, that gun will look different.

sounds

for about the past few days, we have been gathering a couple sounds (SFX) for the game. we don't know how much we are going to incorporate however we have the basics for our alpher. also we don't plan to stop there. we will add more content to the game as we go along. in the alpher we should only have one terrain theme and a couple of weapons to start of with (3 XD). we will add alot more though like more themes (i like the thought of hell :D) and super weapons. also tomorrow i will be able to show you a couple of some 3d sprites like the character and some weapons.

What the virdo

OKso I think some of you don't even know what a voxel is...

So basically 3D pixels. it is to give it a "retro feel"

some features that are pending at the moment

health crates
weapon crates (for better weapons)
high resolution of voxels for the terrain (more resolution, more voxels, more smoother)
destroyable terrain (to an extent)
aiming down the scope
(maybe) a face editor in the profile menu to maximize customization
four teams (red, blue, green, yellow)
you spawn in your teams building at start of game


More ideas are coming and alot of ideas i have forgot...

Virdo begins

this will be the development blog of a game that two simply awesome men are making. more on the way shall help but in the mean time, two is all we got. some things to note about the game...

. it will be written in c++
. it will be made (hopefully) completely out of voxels (excluding menus, HUD's, etc)
. it will be freeware
. this was mainly made to piss of Charlie Bidgood but we also did it for fun
. it shall be a multilayer fps (so kinda like mine craft but with guns)
. i dunno if hes keen on it but we may add campaign later if this becomes popular
. this wont be aborted, so keep checking for the latest updates.

so basiclly this game will be kinda like ace of spades but (hopefully) more liero or worms. we will probs add campaign later once our main ideas are covered.

Pictures will be coming soon (as soon as i get my iPod back). until then it will just be news and some screen shots.

Please don't hesitate to leave your ideas with us. we need some :\
