Blade Of Power [+demo]

Hello,

...and welcome to showcase of my first project with 3D Game Studio.
........................................................
Blade of Power in short:
�Project >Blade Of Power< has started as a small fun-fiction adventure game based on a popular cartoon serie from the '80 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. At the beginning, it combined full 3D environment with 2D animated characters. From there it evolved into a fully original first-person game with unique 3D characters and plot that combines adventure segments with action gameplay.�
........................................................

Blade Of Power project is going through some deep design changes so none of the videos displayed on this page no longer represents the real development stage of the game, game levels or content... but they are still fun to watch

........................................................

Blade Of Power demo that is available for download is, at this moment (26.04.2010), about 10 months old and it no longer represents the real development stage of the game, game levels or content.
Demo has been broke into four files for easier download. I hope you enjoy it

http://bladeofpower.weebly.com/demo.html

Btw when evaluating this demo you should keep in mind that...

-all character models, friendly & enemy, have been replaced or enhanced
-all music & most of the audio effect files have been replaced or enhanced
-laser battling is replaced with sword fighting
-enemy AI is replaced with David Lancester's Glorious Combat script adapted for first person sword fight

..unfortunately non of this updates is in the presentable form

........................................................

Blade of Power team is:

Nikolic Pavle >Ganderoleg< / Story, gameplay, 2D & 3D art, animation and programing.
Gligorijevic Ivan >Dimme< / Story, music & audio effects.

...with very special credits & thanks to:

I think I will give it a go in a few days to see how it runs. Thanx >>Demos free3DModels Tutorials<< >>>>>>> by Pavle Nikolic <<<<<<<

That could improve the shadow map and the overall look. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt

My PC is almost 3 years old and configuration is: Athlon 64 AM2 3000 BOX AMD 1024MB DDR2 PC667 Kingston ATI Radeon RX1600 Pro 256MB MSI �and my game runs a constant 50-60 fps in normal conditions (with shaders, PPe, characters, full animations and ChrisB's fullscreen antialiasing plugin) & around 15-30 fps in the middle of the battle. I'm not saying that things won't improve in next Iridium demo but...let's wait and see. Last edited by Ganderoleg; 07/01/09 16:36.

I dare say I would actually play this game if someone showed it to me, which is saying a LOT (because I'm not really into this genre). I don't know what your actual play and storyline is like, but the art and design are totally awesome. I see a great deal of hard work went into this level design, and it payed off! Looks very professional, and I think this game could sell well! Excellent, professional-looking effects and scenery. Keep it up, and I wish you much success with this and your other projects! I hope the gameplay and storyline is as good as the scenery and art!

Fact that this game concept is not among your favorites makes your feedback even more valuable I'm glad you like it. @Ratchet I have redone NM on floors. Used completely different type of shader. I think they look a bit better now. http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas14.jpg http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas15.jpg ................................................... I have also redone shadowmaps to make rooms seem older and more �dirty�... http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas10.jpg http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas11.jpg ...and added furniture set from that great contribution made by Rincewind (merchant's mansion in Leipzig, Germany, from 1901). I modified textures a bit (just some color-filtering) but they will go through larger changes later on. http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas12.jpg http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/34/97/23/newcas13.jpg >>Demos free3DModels Tutorials<< >>>>>>> by Pavle Nikolic <<<<<<<

Also, you can let me know if you ever need some photo-realistic textures w/ normal maps, spec maps, etc. I'm like C-Loc: "What'eva ya want, I got it!" lol! Oh, one crit though: In your new pics you linked, some things, like the furniture looks pretty shiny. Was that intentional? I mean, it DOES look realistic, like really polished and clear coated furniture, but I think you're going for an "antiqued look" aren't you? Last edited by Jaeger; 07/08/09 19:52.

I am not saying that there is anything wrong with Rincewind's original textures but they need some adjustments to fit my level-atmos. I'm good at the moment with textures and stuff but I am not sure what will happen when work on the last level starts. Last one is still in concept stage. Do you have site? >>Demos free3DModels Tutorials<< >>>>>>> by Pavle Nikolic <<<<<<<

I'm going to be opening more than just a personal site though; one for our whole dev team with public forums and everything. If you ever need something, just pm me, and we can arrange something. I will certainly give some samples for your review.

It's easy to change the specular value in it. Well , good job. We hope to find a demo soon even a pre beta Just do It !! http://independentcreator.over-blog.com/pages/3D_Models-7792999.html

The new design looks great. The textures are very good. Keep up the good work. Im looking forward to the first beta^^ Last edited by Schmerzmittel; 07/10/09 00:08.
