| Hey, I would like to show you a game I have been working on for a few years now. The genre is something like a retro-style zombie-action-game. ;) Here is a short description: Branshire, Maine: Local Machinist Frank Hayes wakes up in a nightmare. Zombies everywhere! Led by his friend Sam via radio, he tries to reach the evacuation point where Sam is awaiting him. But Sam's radio messages get more confusing the further Frank gets to his destination. What is wrong with Sam and where do all these Zombies come from? Controlled from a bird's eye perspective you have to lead Frank through hordes of zombies and other creatures. Various weapons that range from pistols to rocket launchers help you with that task. Use the keyboard to walk and the mouse to aim. The difficulty level is deliberately kept very high, as is the amount of blood and body parts flying apart:). In the additional multiplayer mode, it is on you to bring down your opponents in good old deathmatch style. Features are: - A story-campaign + several additional maps - Scripted events and cutscenes - Editor to create your own maps - 3 levels of difficulty: 'Normal', 'Hard' and 'Extreme' incl. unlockable Modifiers - Various types of weapons and enemies - Deathmatch multiplayer mode Here are some screenshots: (click on image to enlarge)       The game is nearly done (only the final level is missing). Try it out by clicking on the following link: http://www.bitbybit-creations.net/?seite=download&link=dark_residence_0_07&lang=en If the game crashes after you have selected a level, you have to install the Xvid-Codec to play the ingame-videos: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ For further info and screenshots, click on the link below: http://www.bitbybit-creations.net/?seite=dark_residence&lang=en Tell me if you like it or if you found bugs! :) If you find spelling/grammar mistakes in the game, please tell them too (I'm not a native english speaker) Last edited 2012 Last edited 2012 Last edited 2012 |

| Looks like you put a lot of work into it. Alien breed with zombies, basically. |

| Hiya, Aww, Im gutted... I like the AlienBreed type games and so I wanted to try this but :- I downloaded to my desktop, extracted to its own folder using WinRar, I've tried both batch files and the Game.exe file... the game loads in as expected... going through the menus to get to the game I click -> SinglePlayer -> Campaign -> Start -> Normal -> the title drops down and the background distorts then I get MAV while the graphics are still onscreen. During the initial load game in full screen mode - the load progress bar flashes on and off durign resizing... looks quite effective actually, but doesnt happen in windowed mode.

| Hi, the first level begins with a cutscene which needs the xvid-codec to work. download it from http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ then it should work Last edited 2012 |

| Hiya, Yep, that worked, thanks. Neat game. Well done! |
| ||
| Ninja Update! Just fixed a major bug that could lead to a game-crash or the player being stuck. Link is the same |
| ||
| Wow, great work zwische, the game atmosphere is perfect. |
| ||
| Thx, I am glad you like it :) |
| ||
| Looks familiar! I think I saw an early version of this. Looks good! |
| ||
| The ambiance is good, but after some time the game runs slowly ! Last edited 2012 |

| @Kittomer: That may well be. I published an early version about 2 years ago. @RemCoder: Can you tell me, when exactly the game ran slowly? Was it a specific level or a certain situation (many zombies on screen etc) ? Thx for testing! |
| ||
| Zwische>>Maybe it was because of too many zombies on the screen, but it is strange considering your video game has only basic 2d graphics... Oh and i also like the sounds :) |
| ||
| It may be the pathfinding then. I will try to optimize there |
| ||
| One thing that i can recommend is to improve the sound of the fire when you break a gas pipe, the current sound is annoying. |
| ||
| Yeah, that has been on my todo-list forever. I also need to change the graphics. |
| ||
| screenshots look realy good, I may try it later thx. |
| ||
| I ended the beta the other day and the only problem that i found was the sound of the fire. Great game, i am waiting the final level. :) Last edited 2012 |

| Cool, glad you like it ;) haven't tried a new sound yet, but I'm putting in some roleplaying elements at the moment for single- and multiplayer. So you can level up and upgrade health, damage and movement speed. Will upload an updated version in a few weeks |
| ||
| I tried and liked it, but it would be awesome if it could save. was a bit bummed out that it couldn't. |
| ||
| I get Memeory Access Violation when I click Start. |
| ||
| WinXP, Vista or 7 ? x86 or x64 ? |
| ||
| @WERDNA: The missing save-function is intentionally, because a level is only about 10 minutes long. Also those 3 continues that you have for a level would be useless, because you could then just load a savegame if you died :) @steve_ancell: You need Xvid-Codec to play the ingame-videos. You can download it from: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ |

| Good point zwische, lol. I'm looking forward to that last level ;) |
