BeGone - Multi-Player Shooter Preview

The game has evolved quite a bit since the first page in this thread. It is now 4vs4 and round based (like counter-strike).

It uses the Photon network library, so there shouldn't be the connection issues that come with peer-to-peer connections.

 

This is looking amazing! Great job so far! More screenies please . . .

 

Looks great! Keep up the good work

 

Are you going to post a webplayer demo? If so, when? If not than my head will explode...

 

Nice! but in the 3rd image the soldier's rifle texture has an ugly white boreder... :?

 

I really love the look and feel of low health mode. Very Creative.

Keep up the good work,
Aram

 

Wow, you really have pulled through with this!

Amazing job! Definitely can't wait to see more screenshots, gameplay videos, and maybe even a beta to try out ourselves (getting some third party gameplay feedback is probably a good idea)

 

Absolutely brilliant. AAA quality from what I can tell.

 

I too would love to see a gameplay video... go on, just a sneaky quick peek!

Best Regards,
Matt.

 

This is inspiring, thanks for posting screenshots and updates throughout the process. I am curious (and sorry if this was already mentioned and I missed it), but have you been developing this by yourself? If so, how much do you work on it per week?

 

Looks fantastic and is incredibly inspiring to see such a graphically polished game. If I am not mistaken the terrain details are from the Terrain Assets pack?

Also, maybe I missed it in this thread, but why are the newest screens in third person when the game was originally a first person game?

 

OMG! It's so niiiice!
What's the current project progress?

 

looks great,I recommend add vertex color to your stages.

add occlusion to vertex and will looks fantastic!

 

Ever going to post any updates on this amazing project?

 

Roger that! Updates please!

 

Uh oh, was this project abandoned?

 

Thanks for all the support guys, I've been making great progress lately (mostly on the back end server side).

The game has changed from 1st person to 3rd person for a few reasons (cool effects possible in 3rd person). But there is an accuracy mode (right-click) that zooms to an almost first person view.

Here's some new screenshots:





:wink:

 

Looks really good! Looking forward to release.

 

Awesome indeed! Demo please!

 

nice work man!,,, are you using dynamic shadows?
how many fps do you have with all that meshes..

congrats!

 

Thank you for not letting such a great project die out. I can't wait for the end results.

 

Very nice, if you release a closed beta or something like this, please contact me
Greetings

 

and me if you would .

 

Just tell us all when you’re ready to beta this amazing looking work!

 

might got a idea when its finnisd?
Sorry for the bad word i am dutch and not really awake enough to write(speak) good English at the moment

Looking forward to the game realy cant wait to play hopefully its in about 2 weeks finishd or mayby a beta,demo version?? :?: :?:

 

impresive shots, they remember me the ArmaII game

 

mewants teh beta when its redy.

 

Look at that guy up there! He joined the forum late at night and did battle with English to tell you how awesome this thing is! Reciprocate!

 

Waiting for a demo/video.

 

Okay, I just put a video together and uploaded it to the Facebook Fan page.

http://www.facebook.com/NPlayCom

 

Looks awesome, will it be free?

 

Yep, the game will be free.

I also uploaded the video to youtube, slightly higher quality than the facebook video:

It looks awesome, nice work! I can't wait to give it a try!

 

I was salavating at the sight of that video.

Me wants game and ME WANTS IT NOOOOOOW!

 

Why? Don't get me wrong, I love free. But this is simply brilliant.

 

Any progress? Release date perhaps?
Looks awesome btw

 

Foshiz.


There is no hand holding a gun. You have to remember, guns have weight (perfect excuse to go to the gun range )

 

If I remember he said he'd take care of the arms later on, wrote that on the first page of this thread or so.

Besides that:

I thought the screenshots were great, but having seen the video now: Awesome! Sounds, graphics and animations create a great atmosphere. Congrats, I think there are many Unity-users out there whose goal must be to create such a nice work one day. Including me.

 

any progress?

 

Wow, those graphics are impressive (although I would probably be running it at minimum settings).

 

If you want latency results for far away places, like say, South Africa, let me know!

 

I got a little distracted playing with the Unity 3 beta, but am back squashing the remaining bugs and planning which features are required for launch, and which can be added after.

Just for fun, here are a couple pics with the awesome Beast lightmap rendering in Unity 3:

This 2nd image isn't from the game directly, but from a possible future secret feature.

 

Ew, is that Beast making the vegetation contrast so much and look glitched?

 

This is starting to look really nice. For the vegetation remember you can edit vertex normals manually for the leaf geo. Check this out for more info:

everything looks awesome except the vegitation lol

 

it might be easier to use a modified shader. something like this maybe:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. Shader "Nature/mySoft Occlusion Leaves" {
4.     Properties {
5.         _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
6.         _MainTex ("Main Texture", 2D) = "white" {  }
7.         _Cutoff ("Base Alpha cutoff", Range (.5,.9)) = .5
8.         _BaseLight ("BaseLight", range (0, 1)) = 0.35
9.         _AO ("Amb. Occlusion", range (0, 10)) = 2.4
10.         _Occlusion ("Dir Occlusion", range (0, 20)) = 7.5
11.         _Scale ("Scale", Vector) = (1,1,1,1)
12.         _SquashAmount ("Squash", Float) = 1
13.     }
14.  
15.  
16. SubShader {
17.         Tags {
18.             "Queue" = "Transparent-99"

24.         CGPROGRAM
25.         #pragma surface surf TreeleavesLambert vertex:treevertex addshadow alphatest:_Cutoff

30.           half NdotL = saturate(dot(s.Normal, lightDir));
31.           half diff = NdotL * 0.8 + 0.3;
32.           half4 c;
33.           c.rgb = s.Albedo * _LightColor0.rgb * (diff * atten * 2);
34.           c.a = s.Alpha;
35.           return c;
36.         }
37.                
38.

46.             float dp = dot(ovd, v.normal);    
47.            
48.            
49.             TerrainAnimateTree(v.vertex, v.color.w);
50.            
51.             //If viewdir is same direction-ish as normal, flip it.
52.             v.normal = v.normal * -sign(dp);
53.         }
54.        
55.         sampler2D _MainTex;

97.  

it comes with a hacked lighting term (half diff = NdotL * 0.8 + 0.3 and flips normals when looking at the backface.

lars

 

Yeah, the trees look really strange in Unity 3. It's just a beta so I think/hope that it will be fixed.

I've been meaning to check out your custom shaders lars. The screenshots you have been coming up with are pretty cool. I heard a rumor somewhere that unity 3.x would some terrain improvements.

 

Great game! I just played a couple of rounds. It looks amazing!

The beta deployed is already using Unity 3 right?

There seems to be a balancing issue between the SWAT and the Militia. Seems that the SWAT's guns are weaker than the Militia's.

 

this game is great, and i can't wait to see where you'll go with it next!

 

LOL, this game is a BLAST!

I played it for several hours, and I loved it!

The simplicity + browser is why. I just love it.

Thanks for this!
