This is my first game i have been making with unity, ive been working on it for just short of a year, and have taught myself everything necessary to create this game. Modeling, rigging, animation, texturing, UV-mapping, Javascript, etc.
Anyways, I have a youtube channel (SymbiosisTheGame) with some videos showing off the game.
The fist video is just me playing around shooting some enemies, the second video shows off the weapons a little more closely, sound is included from the game in the video, and i show off some inter-actable objects like a supply box and a ladder.
This is the first video.
And this is the second video.
The game is first and fore-most an action game, so i want many parts of the game to feel chaotic and claustrophobic with destruction, but I also plan to change the pace now and then with simple puzzles or indirect ways of continue-ing onwards.
If anyone has any constructive criticism please share it either posted here or on the actual video will work, but I check youtube more often than this forum so that might be a better choice. Read on for the story:
Symbiosis a post-apocalyptic game set in the very near future. The story goes: As the human population raced to discover new technology, our machines became more and more useful to us. As we began to explore the world around is, we attracted the attention of an outsider. An extra-terrestrial race of machines. Life as we knew it, sprang from small organic organisms, such as cells, and then became more and more complex to create a much larger and sophisticated organism, such as ourselves. We then strive to create machines to perform tasks that our bodies or minds can not.
However, this extra-terrestrial race of machines are quite the opposite. The machines grew electromagnetic signals, like ourselves, but grew with metals and alloys, instead of organic materials. The machines evolved with metal parts, rather than organic, and as such, they created organic mechanisms to perform actions that they could not perform.
( In retrospect, humans made machines to do stuff, but the machines made organisms to do stuff, so our blood and muscles is their gasoline and pistons, and vice-versa).
Anyways, they came to Earth fascinated at our complex construction, as we were fascinated in them as well. As we began to study the machines, we disassembled them, and studied their parts. In return, they did the same to us humans, and then the human race began to retaliate the only way we could, war. Of course, the human race had no chances of being victorious, and so now the world is left in ruin while remaining humans are enslaved and studied.
^^ Thats pretty much the back story. As far as gameplay, you will be alone most of the game, and I will try to incorporate scenes that games often over-look in post apocalyptic settings. Such as the feeling of loneliness, wasteful efforts, survival, and the loss of everything you know.
I am also going to incorporate seldom puzzles in the game with the combat, and certain enemies in certain situations to keep the game fresh. (Im also throwing some dark humor in there).
