We started work in the university library
We started work on this project in April when Unreal Engine 4 came out last year
and we have been working very hard modeling, texturing, animating and coding to bring this first person multiplayer
We are making the game to be a blend of Hotline miami, TimeSplitters, Borderlands, Manhunt
a little bit of game story
In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the United States is in turmoil. The youth are out of control, protests turn to riots in the streets with students boycotting schools across the country, fearing a civil war with the youth of America and the ever increasing threat of both domestic and international communism, the powers that be fund a CIA derivative of the MKSEARCH program, Codenamed: “Red Awakening”, a program designed to solve all of America’s problems at once.
Scale
This will be a weapon in the game, for real, it will be called The Potassinator ;)
WillJeSuis
Those arms holding the shotgun looks really weird. Hope they change that.
BeetleBreakfastBeetleDrink
This game looks amazing for an Indie project. The best part is, I know how big it is.
Bammit
Take in the constructive criticism and stick with it - good luck :D I'll play this when it's released to support you guys.
boros13
Careful. If you used uni computers, they could claim ownership of the game.
SirShoX
Congratulations, you've invented Warsow.
Tiiimmmaayy
From the thumbnail, I thought it was Arnold's room from Hey Arnold. Thought it was weird he had a knife...

cell shading FTW
DJ4rtyom
Is that a pip-boy in #2?
sociallyawkwardman
we call it the arm module
DJ4rtyom
oh, cool.
brokendalek
Because of the banana scale I know I can run it on my PC.
IThoughtIWasGoingToHaveAShortNormalNameButTheOneIWantedWasTaken
...and as an added bonus we know exactly how big it is!
Icedtorch
The name is odd with that logo, but your screens look nice.
noobule
my guess is the banana is just reddit/imgur bait
ch3burashka
Took me a second, then ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Sorry Aunt Flo I've got a new name for 'that time of month'
VittuSaatana
As a graphic design student, that "True Lies" font...
Imapeacockyagottaletmefly
A bloody banana? My imagination is so fucked up.
WellPoopSticks
I think The Potassinator gives away the reasoning behind the Banana being there.
swifter66
At least we know it's to scale.
heckal2
Fear the death Banana!
AnActualDuck
Makes me think of Borderlands with a logo for scale.
Londrin
Love the metal gear reference!
NerdtasticNick
looks like boarderlands
DolanStahp
I like the style especially since you use unreal engine because its the same they use for borderlands
iop90cwl
In glorious 4:3 aspect ratio
ILikeCoke
Making it on school computers on the school's time may mean they own the property, btw. You might want to find that out.
ILikeCoke
At my university, they take only 30% of proceeds, but it's still a non-zero amount.
lllthssm
As a law student this was my first thought :/
Skreamie
Looks like Borderlands meets XIII. One comment though, although I haven't actually played it, isn't FC: Blood Dragon in a very similar font?
MisterPerfect
Banana for reference of course
CerebrawlHemmorage
Looks like Far Cry: Blood Dragon.
TheyCallMeTom
Hopefully, there's a Far Cry 4 sequel to Blood Dragon. I fucking loved that shit.
SauronsElephantGString
The exact opposite of a bad thing... I enjoyed Blood Dragon a lot, my only regret is that there wasn't more storyline to play more.
JohnnyricoMC
Which makes it awesome. Blood Dragon was a great dose of nostalgia and awesome neon effects.
RageCuddles
I really wonder if the devs just did a bunch of drugs and were like, this will be fun. I love how ridiculous it is.

DeltaBladeX
I want to play that. But every time I try, UPlay tells me I'm not online and refuses to work. >:(
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
I bought it on steam, am I gonna have uplay issues?
PictureUnrelated
It's actually Satan
RageCuddles
+1 for accuracy
DeltaBladeX
Since you are forced to use UPlay, its possible, but not everyone is going to have this problem.
verisimilitude
You might. Steam has a "requires 3rd party DRM" label/badge on games that require it, e.g. Far Cry 3 Steam Version requires UPlay
jetv435
I didn't, but I don't want that to be grounds to disregard others' problems. Try looking online if you have any of your own.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Hoping they just used steamworks and not steam plus uplay, but I guess I'll just have to see.
CrabmanOpie
When you launch it on Steam, U-Play then launches. It's dumb.
jetv435
Uplay is just terrible sometimes. Hope you have luck running the game. It's totally worth it!
Berrypickerasfuck
Bout AC:Brotherhood when it was on a steam sale a coupld years back... couldn't play it for a month because uplay didn't honor the purchase.
Adrunkenscottishguy
Borderlands:Blood Dragon
Drlakata
Sounds like you have the sound track worked out but if you need any more help... I make music... so just saying. No monies needed.
SuperDork42
GET THEE TO THE STEAM GREENLIGHT PROGRAM AND WE WILL VOTE FOR IT, YO!
MattFierce
Agreed!
DeltaBladeX
Greenlight requires a $100 payment before you can list anything. Given they aren't spending anything on the game, paying for Greenlight...
SuperDork42
Okay then maybe a small kickstarter, then greenlight.
PargonIntensifies
Not without doing research. They can talk a good game and make nice screenshots, but can they deliver?
Fenriswaffles
I've seen things get greenlit with less to show and show than this unfortunately.
Fenriswaffles
"less to show and say" I meant
SuperDork42
Man, greenlight is greenlighting things that are total crap, it's like the kickstarter for potato salad.

It looks like Fallout and Bioshock had a love child.
dancersonastring
As an extreme Bioshock & Fallout enthusiast, squeeeee
PoppinLochNessHopster
So a borderlands knock-off?
Winterous
Similar graphics style = knock-off, sure buddy.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Identical graphics, same genre, same gimmicks. Got a link to where I can buy your tunnel vision?
Winterous
Similar graphical style, shares ONE of the genres from what I've read, has gimmicks closer to Deus Ex than Borderlands.
TheTagg
"dynamic stealth, parkour style movement" Yeah, you are right. This just screams borderlands. Just like The Walking Dead game were...
verisimilitude
Great - you took Assassin's creed, added guns to it, and then skinned it with Borderland's cel shading art style.
TheTagg
I honestly cant tell if you are serious or not. I seriously hope you arent
SacreDoom
Don't ruin their plagiaristic life dreams. :(
maybenotsofairenough
It's not zero budget unless your time is worthless
modi123
As a dev many folk think this is the case."It is a super simple job;do me a solid" Yeah, no. :( The only solids that pay the bills is $$
weezilla
By that logic, playing board games with friends is not zero budget. He's gaining skills and having fun (mostly) :)
SalazaarXionon
OrangeFlavours
It does kind of, it's how it bends and the large object, makes it wonky.
BANANAFLAKE
They chose to use a "chest cam" point of view, not forehead.
arbitrarium
Yeaaaah after all those cartoons about FPS angles being fucked, this just went and topped them.
Winterous
It's a chest cam, but the arms are actually in fairly realistic positions.
jadedshadow
I got more peeved by the gun's cell shading poking through a solid mass.
JamEngulfer
Then again, it's a year from finished
brassbass
Holy shit, that is what it would look like! Hold your arms up like you have a shotgun... Good, you now look like an idiot.
Winterous
It looks like this in peripheral, because of the game's restricted FOV it would actually be a little further down, realistically. But good.
SalazaarXionon
Other wise this looks cool.*
Poultrigeist
Don't care, has chainsaw.
snurx
I think a bit of it has to do with the FOV, maybe? The aspect ratio looks a bit off in the picture, that door is kind of squashy
ThisIsSittingOnASeal
yeah, either no neck or no shoulder. Needs to adjust height of the arm whilst keeping the hand in roughly the same spot, IMO.
ThisIsSittingOnASeal
I do, however, like the art style and would like to see some more of it. More environments maybe? And the game play could turn out amazing.
Irishda
Dunno if the OP is reading, but raise that camera up a bit there and put the elbow out a bit more, bruh
ayjayn
he dislocated it for better aiming
iVan01
the game is on greenlight now http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=415971124

Erilis
It's still a work in progress and i'm sure they know it looks off.
TomWibberley
we noticed this too... thanks for the comment
ImNotEvenSureWhatUsernameToPick
It's the default position in UE4 for FPS mode
pencilv3ster
Looks totally bizarre and out of place
uhCanadian
I think the forearm looks a bit short. If it was a bit longer it'd look a bit better
MagnustheJust
Some peopl wear their Pipboy on the inside of their arm, so they can use the motion tracker while stalking their preyt...
Reg06
I think you people need to go hold a weapon (or a broom). Your arm does appear in the lower left of your vision.
Koantum
Your left arm doesn't come out of your ear socket? What comes out of your ear socket, a foot?
Matriikohzey
Im cackling breathlessly at this comment, well done! WELL FUCKING DONE!
MagnustheJust
That's where my 4th penis is... 0.o What?
MrWolfwood
looks like boarderlands
LovelyLiesl
only reason I clicked on this post. I love Borderlands. Ended up being a pretty cool post
classicqueen
I love Borderlands too...and 2. And the Pre sequel.
fartlee
Borderlands and Fallout. Dat Pip-Boy
VyvyanBestard
Which looks like XIII
Numbaz878
Bananalands
DanishElite
....I thought I was the only one, but also reminded me of the color scheme of KILLER 7.
BANANAFLAKE
I thought it looked a bit more like the original Half Life, but then again K thought Borderlands 1 reminded me of Half Life 2.
masshypnosis
or any other cell shaded game...
MisterMagnus
That would be the cel shading. Borderland also shades the game using that method, giving the two similar looks.
nickromel
holy shit youre a visionary i never would have seen that
Kamica
Unreal Engine 4 costs money... more than $0..
xYuunax
not for academic use
Kamica
There was no academic "package" around April if memory serves me right. And if they're not planning on selling it, sweet, sure!
MrSpindles
I'm assuming this is built in UDK - free for non commercial use, very reasonable rates if you sell anything you make.
MrSpindles
in fact, probably educational license for unreal engine 4, now that I've fact checked.
Lizz0r
yeah -- they just need to make sure they get the permissions from unreal before they release it..
Kamica
Unreal Engine 4 doesn't have a UDK version of it. Prices are low enough on the full engine to make it UDK almost a waste of time.
MrSpindles
So I've learned from reading.I used to be a modder and moved on to UDK but haven't touched it in a couple of years,nice to see the new terms
Kamica
Yea, in the last year of the course I did, we had to make a game, UE4 came out just before we started, so we used it =D.
yorg
What makes your cel-shading distinctive?
LordBanana
I think it's actually a Sobel Operator.
smeefy
its cheap and doesnt have to be rendered from every viewable angle
mutedia
didn't the borderlands devs say the same thing about theirs.. or actually not being cell-shading..
YourFavoriteFriend
seriously. cell shading is lame and over used.
ItsOkayItsOfficial
Obviously not prevalent enough for you to spell it correctly...
OfficialMonsantoPR
Then you make a game in your free time
