here's the story copied straight from the ingame menu...
You are Nick Vrenna. It is the year 2009. You have been falsely incarcerated inside a high security underground prison where illegal genetic experiments are taking place.

Alan Blake, the head research scientist, has isolated the specific gene which causes violence and aggression in humans. This genetic sequence, called "Abuse" is highly infectious, causing horrific transformations and grotesque side-effects. You are the only person to show immunity to it.

A prison riot erupts, and in the confusion all the cell doors are opened. Soon everyone, guards and convicts alike, become infected and transform into a horde of mutants which take over the building.

Your only chance for escape is to don battle armor and reach the Control Room situated in the structure's deepest level. You must first stop the prison's Abuse-infected water supply from contaminating the outside world.

Freedom and the fate of the world now depend on you.
I was thinking "aggression" sense that was the gene or whatever. but it probably needs to be shorter.
any any case tho. this story would need some polish.

hell, it takes place less than 2 years from now.

I'll hack something...

edit: hehehe, I thought about Abused too. it seems so wrong tho.

It think Violation could work, because the 'Abuse' in probably a violation of some convention :P

The suit of armour lying around seems kinda random and sure experiments on prisoners is fine but what where they trying to do? isolate aggression?

The virus immunity schitick seems overused and the Ant's could damn near fly, what's stopping them from escaping?

I was thinking of a variation of the Resident Evil theme, that they where developing a weapon, for the enemy to tear each other apart. This causes mutation of the subjects, with increased exposure ?

Maybe make it addictive ?

hehe, AbusIVe

Violation has a nice ring.
might be easier to just make it a two word title.


I just wrote a bunch of stuff down that might cover some of these holes.

The suit of armour lying around seems kinda random

I just wrote in the notes Nick finds his in a store room.
and the possible player2 scavenges his off of dead personal.

sure experiments on prisoners is fine, but what where they trying to do?

No fucking idea

The virus immunity schitick seems overused.

multiple experiments going on down there, the test subjects of one experiment are all incidentally immune. but most of them get killed. so theirs very few people with immunity left. nick, player2, and some random folks. this alan blake guy (thats such a soap opera name) may not be immune..but is unaffected.

and the Ant's could damn near fly, what's stopping them from escaping?
security droids, and the general security system are still active, and still functioning at riot level. theirs nobody around to turn them off.

I'll post what i have later, i need to add some more stuff

Heh I like AbusIVe, it's clever.

Bobby Prince did the music for DOOM. Half the tracks from that are heavily based on popular 80s heavy metal songs such as Slayer's South of Heaven so he can't say too much about copyright. The sounds are probably quite easy to redo though and there's loads of other stuff available in the public domain. This reminds me of all those DOOM sounds I keep hearing on TV.

from what I recall there where only a few variations in the enemy mostly colour so I'm not that suprised.

Thats all save for the ants.
I may design them freehand first.
I want to come up with something similar, but at the same time I don't want it to look anything like the Alien design from the films, that they're pretty much a rip off of.

Actually I think I'm gonna use this
I remember this image on the cover of the manual, but i could has swore it was black and white then.

Ive never seen this color version before.

It shouldn't be too bad I guess.
as far as i know aliens only come in shiny black and they don't have lasers strapped to their backs.

whats with that? thats another thing that didn't make sense.

I wont ditch it entirely from the design.
but just know i think its a bit silly.

there we are so far.
used an ultimate venom action figure for reference.
made sure not to include the long alien style head.

i made a template for the legs & feet, (not pictured) and it leads me to believe that in the end this will look pretty good.

need to claw up the hands.
arms blatantly stolen from the player model.

need to define the laser thing a bit more.

I found a site that had mp3 versions of the original games music.
I never heard it in game, I doubt most people did.

anyway, I felt like the music only sounded good along with the game as your playing it. none of if seemed catchy and it was hardly ambient or atmospheric like I imagined it would be.

Not having music back in the hay day might have been a blessing in disguise.
the effects were enough.

spent the last 2 hours working on the camera setup.

It doesn't work quite as well as I'd hoped.

Also' theirs other things that I want to incorporate into it it that I hadn't even thought about before now.

I'm going to have to try and integrate the camera into the rig.
thats simple enough...
however I'm going to have to designate some rig movement as controlled solely by the camera (which moves on the fly), and designate parts of the rig to move about in the normal way.

I think it pretty much means I gotta make another rig from scratch.

....

so that video is gonna be a while.

hopefully it'll be worth the trouble.

EDIT: after more messing about with the camera and some research(played the xbox) and some guess work...

I figured the general camera problem out.
on its own it works perfectly.

the other problem....
fuck it. I don't feel like putting up with it right now.
its probably more of a coding thing anyway, I could be here all day fucking around with constraints. so I'll just let it go.

now I need to come up with a decent run cycle and i can get a mock gameplay video going.

EDIT: Rig broke, so I still gotta make a new one anyway.

Just had a major break thru.
As much as I want to post pics/vid, I'll refrain. It could spoil a later update.

in the meantime something kinda cool....

Image

This is a blown up shot of the left corner of the bottom row, where you go info on health and ammo etc, the row continued on to the right and end of the screen and included something like 7 or 8 other slots that showed a pic of your other weapons, and ammo under it accordingly.

Image

This is the Abusive version.
This one is more of a HUD that hangs in the left corner.
That weapon slot changes its information on the fly just like your average shooter of today would.

Face lift points?

Vote anyway.
