Dark Shadows - Army of Evil

Category / Kategorie: Fantasy - First Person Slasher
Language / Sprache: English / Deutsch

>>>>> September 1362:
An army of evil, named "Dark Shadows", have been ravaging the country like a plague of locusts for over a year and are frightening the people with their scary get-up.
Most people still think they are monsters. But they are only in disguise.

While you were away these monsters stormed the castle. A woman named Katerina has been kidnapped.
It is not just any woman. You are in love with her. They've also taken all the gold. All the taxes. And weapons!

You are the only one who can help Katarina.
You must hurry and follow them before they do something to her.

>>>> September 1362:
Eine Armee des B�sen, die sich "Dark Shadows", die dunklen Schatten, nennt, zieht seit geraumer Zeit durchs Land
und ver�ngstigt das Volk mit ihren furchteinl�ssenden Gew�ndern. Sie haben sich als Monster verkleidet und
pl�ndern das Land. Alles was sich ihnen in den Weg stellt, wird beseitigt oder vertrieben.

W�hrend man selbst gerade nicht anwesend war, wurde die Burg gest�rmt und eine Frau namens Katharina entf�hrt.
Es ist nicht irgendeine Frau. Es ist die Frau, in die Ihr verliebt seit.

Da niemand mehr �brig ist, um ihr zu helfen, seit Ihr die letzte Chance Katharina zu befreien.
Ihr m�sst euch deshalb auf einen langen blutigen Marsch durchs Land machen.

I would improve the the lighting of the levels to a friendlier style with less fog and more vegetation, but that`s a question of taste I think. Looking forward to this pretty unique project in the Acknex world . Are you planning to sell it or is it a hobby project?

The fps was dropping down to 20 with fraps. The second harddisk seems not fast enough to record it in 30 fps. Low Poly? Yes. A lot of models are in low poly. The game should also be playable on cheap computers. It is not a triple A game, but it makes a lot of fun.

I can see you have a good deal of time into all your work... The video is pretty good... The screens took some time indeed... The web site works... I'm not one much for the blood and guts thing, but I must say it's always great to see a new 3d project come together to the point where you can share your work... So... Thanks, and once again... Congrats!

Currently the sound effects are boring and monotone. Otherwise good work! ANet - A stable and secure network plugin with multi-zone, unlimited players, voip, server-list features,...

DUnno bout the music, but the trailer music is as reptitive as the trailer suggests the gameplay to be. is there anything else you do besides fighting in an horrible first person view? Visuals are out of date but overall have a matching style. You could benefit from a few higehr resolution textures though. Last but not least, do a new trailer that gives people that dont read the descriptions a better idea about the game. IceValk Entertainment Website My online portfolio

The trailer is what will give people their first impression, if it sucks, then you did something wrong. "Sometimes JCL reminds me of Notch, but more competent" ~ Kiyaku
