Hello!

I am fortunate to lead the development of tactical igruhi, we are at the stage when it is still possible to add something, but we have to decide quickly. Here also it would be desirable to consult, learn that the people, actually, waits.

> Will there be suits in which you can insert more than two weapons, for example on the shoulders of a flare gun?: O)
No, there will not be any combat suits at all. Maximum, armor, helmets + force field to increase intolerability.

> 1. Title then this game is ??
Unofficially - Industrial Disease, while working - Project E5.

> And the name of the game in Russian?
Have mercy, and the English name is working.
The same working translation into Russian - "Dregs of society."
Most likely everything will change, so we call "project E5".

By popular demand, I present a brief scenario.

The case takes place in the near future, in a separate city. The city is divided into spheres of influence of various groups (say, criminal). There is also one large grouping without a certain sphere of influence - the police. In the city there is also a large number of simply peaceful residents . The main character in the beginning is nobody, just a civilian. But at some point militants of one of the strongest groups kill his mother-in-law. The hero inherits / benefits in the form of a bonus, the wife and father-in-law in the form of an incentive for revenge. The hero receives money for a ragged pack of money, purchases weapons (paralyzers) from the police and tries to take revenge. Those. The main goal - to kill the leader of the gang-offender. Naturally, it's impossible to do it right away, for this you need something more abrupt than the stunners and the guys are more experienced than the village daredevils. The permitted weapons and ammunition are always available to the police in order to gain access to other weapons, it is necessary to carry out quests or take it away from the enemies.

Those. Igruha is tactical, the main action is the battle, performing quests and killing enemies, swinging until you can make a successful attack on the main enemy. (Damn, first wrote a doctor)

As you can see, the script is uncomplicated, I'm not trying to make a new fallout or, as it is now fashionable, to combine all styles in one game. We are trying to make a good tactic, which gives a lot of space for the realization of tactical ideas. Therefore, everything is directed precisely at this, the quest-rhapsody element is present for the non-linearity of the plot. The only thing we want to add to the game is more humor, do not want to make a serious saga of saving mankind

Hello!

Sorry to keep you waiting long.
This will be the last letter, I'm leaving the forum, thank you very much to everyone who has shared good ideas.


Well, I said that the script - poboku.
The script is absolutely conditional. The fact is that we are not going to write a third foul, we focus on tactics.
The script was invented insofar as the game must have a sign of completion. In this case, kill the main enemy. We also thought about seizing the city, but there is a problem, it's not enough to seize something, we have to retain it, so a strategic element is added. And I want to
Pure tactics.

In general, we can also change the script
We have not conducted an advertising campaign yet ...


The mother-in-law is, like, banter over the American slope, etc.
We want to furnish everything in such a way as to parody the jaded stories.

Well, I left, but I did not say anything about one of the main components. After all, at the computer we not only peer, we twist the gyrus, but also listen. Probably the game will be without SOUND.

I remember that he promised a demo in September. (Approximately the truth)
He (Vladimir like) all insisted on a special battle system.
3S2. Again realtime mold, well, nothing step-by-step normal do not want. That's left for us to wait for LSN and Paradise Cracked.

I hope that the demo will appear to us he will write?!?!?!

I do not think that he will appear here.
Even about the demo I doubt ...
(At least in the near future)

Hello! Did not expect?

Diko apologize for the vain expectations, torn timetables, etc.
I am the last infection, etc. etc.

We had two very unpleasant things:
1) Due to problems with licensing, we had to abandon the 3D engine that we used and write our own. It naturally delayed us.
2) The crisis in America was very painful for us - the project financing was postponed for an indefinite period, now we are writing something, but nothing definite regarding the timing of the restoration of the financing.

But now I have much more free time and I again can afford to appear in the forum

Vi
Yes, almost we.
From the team of programmers who made remember tomorrow, now I'm alone, but in RT of my code more than half - I, in fact, was the author, the ideologist and the main programmer.

> Can an indiscreet question? If you cut funding, then what kind of shisha is the development?
On my personal money. But they too will soon end.
Then we will still write, but there will not be anything to draw.

> And is there any possibility that, due to financial (or other) problems, the project will not reach the final stage?
There is. But I have already invested quite a lot of money, most likely, I will find some option, even if I lose it myself. Well, I want to finish this igruha!
