Work continues, here are some screenshots of new and updated areas.

For refernce, an old 1911 sprite VS a new Jericho sprite.

Hey! You, yeah, YOU.
C'mere, I got top secret new WIP sprites to show ya'

The old and crusty 1911 is being overhauled, and turned into a Jericho 941.
I'm also work on the brand-new Tec-9, which will start as a standard semi-auto pistol, but can be upgraded to glorious full-auto.

The Mini14 has two different ammo types, regular and AP.
The regular ammo has a reserve of 120, and the AP has a reserve of 90.

To the like 3 people that follow me here, you guys get a showcase of a different area in the tipped skyscraper location than the folk on twitter, have fun with this!

Oh, you can also see the 3D skybox in all it's glory here! Fire Sale is no longer stranded in some backwater wasteland town, but is set right in the middle of Denver!

The first map "Fire Sale" sure has came a long way, and a lot of effort has been put into making the environments immersive and explorable, you can even go inside the shops!

Some more screenshots from one of the WIP levels

6 Months Ago VS Now...

I wasn't really happy with the first iteration of the railcar, so it's been dramatically revamped and increased in size and detail.

What've we got here, ey scavenger? A beat up old railcar?
Y'know, I reckon with a little work, you could get an old thing like this working...

Oh, and because you guys deserve at least SOMETHING, have this random screenshot taken from one of the WIP maps, in the editor.

So yeah, the wait goes on, but in the name of having a release that I'm happy with.
I do still hope for the demo to be out quite soon though, likely before February. But you've all seen how accurate my release dates are lol

Also, whilst I had said I intended the demo to be out by the end of 2024, I now realise that given the current scope, and how thing's have changed, doing so would only mean me releasing a product I'm simply not satisfied with.

Whilst attempting to go to sleep, it occurred to me that I had totally forgotten to do anything new years related.
So happy (late) new year's to you all! Can't thank everyone that's interacted here enough.

Whilst this is all rather convoluted and strange, as a very unwise man once said.

Now, this combination of A and B is projected onto the skybox of C, the level itself.

This is because of how the skybox is created, it's a sort of layered effect.
Outside of the map, there are 2 "skyboxes", the first of which (we'll call it A) features 2D skyscrapers, and moving clouds.
A, is then projected onto B, which is a 3D skybox featuring buildings.

Heya all! Just wanted to show off another little showcase, this time, a little behind the scenes for ya'.
Here's how the level looks in-editor, versus in-game.

And just as a little treat for the holidays, have some screenshots of one of the new areas I've been working on!

To everyone that's followed, liked, reposted or commented, merry Christmas!
The response to the project has been absolutely phenomenal, and It's quite frankly staggering to think I started all of this just two months ago.
I can't thank you guys enough, and again, happy holidays!

Welcome to Auraria Outpost junker, the company's bad, and the food is worse, but atleast for now, it's home.

A copy of the 1993 Bodley Head hardback of The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. The cover art, of a cloaked man on a rearing horse, before a small boy in the snow, is by Andrew Skilleter.

"He stood on a snow-mounded hill, with a copse of tall trees capping it far beyond, and two black birds drifting tiny to and fro above the trees.
And before him, standing alone and tall on the white slope, leading to nowhere, were two great carved wooden doors."

Happy mid-winter solstice.

The Denver Metro system holds a great many secrets...

Okay, I know I said the demo would be out soon (and it will be) but there have been some minor setbacks, but it should still be out before 2025.
Until then, have some more gameplay, featuring a new map, and both the fully upgraded Mini14 and Flaregun

Day Four:

Oh, and unlike Peter here, I'm probably gonna be posting about a lot more recent games, as they've more directly influenced my development process and plans.
