In general, and also for my Mars based game I was going with demons like
and in game
However they are quite strange so I got a model off someone, its a classic Martian, and I am considering to change the style to this
What do you like, which monsters would you rather see in an FPS?
Something that has human shape about the same size as the player. Something like the locust from Gears of war?
How original.
I think I like the slightly more humanoid one, although the floaty squid dude could be a good alternate enemy type.
why not do both??? have a little variation in the game.
great models btw
What’s the main story? Do you have already one?
So as I see most of the programmers are searching for an original idea for a game. In my point of view the most important is not to be original just being different from other’s product. Like Apple: iPad=TabletPc; iPod=PDA; iPhone=PDA+telephone function(Mitac,HTC made before Apple), nothing new but while PDA and TabletPC were unsuccessfull then Apple made a big hits with these products.
My advice is to make a Half-life “clone” game (on Mars), make humanoid enemies (with some non human creature). Everybody liked Half-life… It’s not original? Heroes of Might and Magic is a King’s Bounty clone so what are we talking about?
So think about what FPS games do you like and why (what kind of enemies do you like)!
Basicly , ill have to disagree with you , we dotn need any more generic shooters or generic action games imo , try to find a plot or a theme that is different from the mainstream (serious action games) and i bet it will be awesome.
The saboteur was pretty original and i loved it
How helpful…
There are a multitude of reasons humanoid enemies about the same height as the player are incredibly common amongst shooters of all sub-genres.
