Black The Fall - Prototype

Hey everyone, I want to share with you the prototype of my firs game - Black The Fall.

It's entirely done with the free version of Unity and it's been under development for the last 10 months. The result is a demo containing the first chapter of the game (still in alpha stage).
You can play it here: http://blackthefall.com/play-demo.html

If you have any questions related to how we used Unity to make things happen, I'll be more than happy to answer them. I'm interested in what you think about it as it would help me in the development process.

Thank you,

You know what I really like it, the jumping mechanics need some work. Also there needs to be sinister plot line for the dark shooter..

All in all great job..

 

This looks seriously cool- I am mightily envious! Can you share any details on the story/background? I love the style in particular- it's very effective, and also surprisingly clear considering that it is monotone. One point I'd like to make is that movement is slightly too slow- it feels only slightly tedious to move- like the character has lead weights on their feet. Other than that, seriously top notch stuff, I will be keeping an eye on this!

 

Whoa, thanks for your kind words. You can find more info about my game here: http://www.blackthefall.com/press-kit.html

Thanks again,

About the Jump and the moving speed. This is only out prototype. We plan to make it more smooth and to add extra abilities like climbing, crawling and double jumps.

 

That demo is really rad! I'm interested in seeing more of this project.
I played the demo until the level where you jump the hole to the tree that you can shoot over before the two robot hammer arms, level 5 I think. the tree fell to the right and I wasn't able to get past it without death (like 13 tombstones). I'm thinking it was supposed to fall to the left to cover the hole then pass over. After dying a bunch of times I gave up. I'll replay it later to see if I can get past it. Any tips?

 

That's a nasty bug. Sorry about that. The tree was supposed to cover the gap so that you may pass. Did you fire at it when it was falling? Can you please tell me how did it happen? Thanks!

 

reminds me of Limbo. But this is really some pro-level stuff! Very cool man!

 

wow this looks awesome, love the video!

 

Looks awesome. Nice work so far. Keep at it.

 

The controls are my only beef. I really like the idea and the game looks good. Even though I did not like the controls I still played the game. Good job!!

 

I'm glad that you liked it. Can you tell me what didn't you like about the controls. I would really appreciate it as it will hel me improve the game. Thanks!

 

I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this is. Reminds me a lot of Limbo. Like other people have said, the controls feel a little clunky. My biggest peeve was not being able to aim the gun without pressing the mouse.

 

What I did was I jumped over the chasm. Then the tree fell by itself. I hit an invisible wall when i tried to continue moving right. I tried to jump back but fell down the chasm. I was not able to jump on the tree when I respawned, because it settled at a weird angle, like 45 degrees, and when I touched it I'd usually die.

This game has a lot of potential and I love the universe it is set in.

 

Thanks NA-RA-KU. I'll have that solved in our next build.

Hey guys and girls, I've reworked Black's jump animation sequence as some of you told me that it was a little sloppy. What do you think?

We plan to rework the whole jump system to make it more dynamic.

 

same thing, I jumped the gap then shot the tree and it fell to the right and touching it killed the character. Just make the tree taller and the hole wider to make the player figure out that they have to shoot the tree for it to cover the gap. Even tho your new jump animation might allow for players to still jump it. Still a great game! It's even fun to replay.

 

we're prepping a new build that will have the new jump anim and the tree/gap issue solved. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello everybody, Black The Fall has a new build. I've implemented the new jump sequences (I ended up making 2 separate ones, one in-place and the other one a forward jump). I've solved some of the bugs you have reported and modified the shooting system - it has new graphics for the shooting trajectory. I also added a couple of surprises.



I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is more than welcomed.

 

Wow. Anyone see this now. It's come a long way. Amazing

 

This looks quite cool, reminds me of the game Dark Lands.

Keep it up!
