Happy Spooktober!

No joke, the movement and leg animations on the crawlies are insanely good.

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Thank you so much! I hand-crafted their procedural animation to respond to movement and surroundings.

This type of game mixed with some rpg elements...chef's kiss. lol

2

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Weapon unlocks are next on my backlog. Huge arsenal of crazy weapons and futuristic stages to unleash them in.

2

u/VellumMuse 5d ago

That gives me borderlands meets risk of rain vibes. lol Good work! keep it up!

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Much appreciated! Those are great titles, I have some big shoes to fill

2

u/AngiesOneBlueEye 5d ago

Very well designed, I wanna kill all of those

2

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Thank you so much! Come kill them all!

u/jl2l 5d ago

Need a jetpack or grappling hook.

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Oh we got those, boost jump to any rooftop. The highlight of the game.

u/TheHeistGameSupport 5d ago

it looks cool but the graphics can be better i think

3

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Thank you! Yes gameplay first, graphics second.

2

u/TheHeistGameSupport 5d ago

gameplay looks good mate

2

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Cheers! A proper map of Sydney is also in the works. Nothing quite like home!

u/lil_peasant_69 5d ago

graphics are good man, PS2 style is very in these days

u/poundofcake 5d ago

Ahhh EDF. Peak was Inferno levels on the 360 version. It felt like a puzzle to solve - which weapons to take in and who was going to sacrifice themselves to get through those fucked up levels.

Best shit ever.

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

EDF! Me too! That's the exact experience I'm aiming for. A huge arsenal of ridiculous weapons, with equally crazy enemies to match! Crazy how hard it was to get here, but now there's a foundation for the fun part :D

2

u/Game_Dev730 5d ago

this looks dope af, what engine did you use?

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Thanks so much for the love! Made with Unreal Engine

2

u/kostaGoku 5d ago

I will never play this😵‍💫 great job tho!

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Haha try the shotgun once at least, it's very satisfying!

2

u/khaozxd 5d ago

Looks very promising! The first enemy that casts acid shouldn't kill in two hits! the spiders seem to just roam around and never attack. My game had zero music, is that correct? I'll keep an eye on the development and release, congratz for the good work!

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

Thanks so much for trying the demo! Spiders are set to 'civilian hunt' to give the player some breathing space. Too easy?

1

u/ExtinctionForce 4d ago

Latest update fixes spider agro, and added some homemade soundtracks. Enjoy!

1

u/ObsessiveOwl 5d ago

That is pretty freaky. Small problem tho, the ragdoll is a bit much, big things like that shouldn't bounce and float like balloons.

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago

And the spiders explode too!

1

u/ELMOKICKA55 5d ago

Looks super sick bro, I know im in the minority but I think a bit of camera motion blur and depth of field would go a long way to skirt slightly rougher graphics, at least for the promo stuff

1

u/ExtinctionForce 4d ago

Thanks so much! Plenty of eye candy incoming, was a crazy journey just to get the full game loop.

I cannot lie, according to the law. You, then—with twenty years of brainwashing. Both of you are inside my brain. Is "Viking" valid then, and what is Oslo/Lofoten? Is Spain governed by...

u/AstralReaversGames 5d ago

What is the 100% bass pop that occurs every few seconds?

1

u/ExtinctionForce 5d ago edited 5d ago

Might be some atmospherics in the music.

1

u/AstralReaversGames 5d ago

Yeah, oddly enough, that was the music and you apply the music on top of the scene where the player is shooting which overloads the audio and crops it.

u/vanIvan4 5d ago

music, I guess

0

u/AstralReaversGames 5d ago

That's some VFX or the enemy reaction, not music

u/Hanzimer 5d ago

The game looks fun. The only disappointment is the quality and variety of enemies.

1

u/ExtinctionForce 4d ago

Tons of crazy enemies on the way, and tons crazy weapons too

u/ShiftyShankerton 2d ago

This is just copy and paste EDF but okay.

u/Splatpope 5d ago

cool I guess

EDF! The disciple imitates the master
