RJaimeSmith Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hello everyone! I have created a game called Horizons Light. It's a fast paced SciFi FPS game with heavy emphasis on fast movement, exploring an alien planet and enemies that possess various abilities from one another. The main objective of the game is to find any survivors of the downed ship Horizons Light. Games like Halo, Half-Life, Unreal Tournament, Tribes, and Thief were games that shaped me as a gamer when I was younger. Horizons Light is the game I wanted to make that combined the coolest things I encountered during those days and mechanics I always thought would work well together. Of course, I cannot compete with AAA games, but I think I managed to get just about enough out of each one to launch my Steam Greenlight campaign. The game is developed by myself and another dude who lives on the other side of the planet, so... we're pretty happy with what we've done in four and a half months! If any of you champs are interested in seeing it in action and would even vote for it, here's a linkl! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=469517656 Below are some screens of the game in action! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 This shows a lot of promise. I will be following the development with much interest. And yes, I would be interested in seeing this on Steam in the future, so you have one more "Yes" vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wam Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Very, very intriguing indeed. With some work, and a bigger pocket, this could be a pretty good game! I see you've thought out the mechanics well (Thinking gets you places)! How much work do you have left exactly? You can definitely count on my vote.

I would say in total I'm about 20% done, it's still got a hell of a long way to go. I plan to do Kickstarter in the next month or two to attempt custom enemy models and animations. Since I'm REALLY restricted right now to do anything in terms of unique enemy design that's one thing that extremely limits me, but it's only a matter of time really.

Wam Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks! I would say in total I'm about 20% done, it's still got a hell of a long way to go.

Since I'm REALLY restricted right now to do anything in terms of unique enemy design that's one thing that extremely limits me, but it's only a matter of time really. Well, in any case, I truly wish you the best of luck! Lots of work ahead, but it'll pay off in the end! I saw how you presented it on the Steam Greenlight page. Try to keep that up, especially if you're going to take donations from others to support the game. Many people will, and in my opinion, this is truly awesome and worth it. Keep up the good work. Good luck, mate. Edited June 28, 2015 by AhhOldWoman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wam Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Wow, Jaime! Those are some improvements you've done! I really, really like the gun designs themselves, as well as the field of view you've given the player. Keep these changes, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Oh wow! Excellent work! Love the new gun designs. The gun HUD looks kinda like Half-Life xD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJaimeSmith Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Oh wow! Excellent work! Love the new gun designs. The gun HUD looks kinda like Half-Life xD. Ha thanks! Half Life is a huge influence, maybe that's where it came from Wow, Jaime! Those are some improvements you've done! I really, really like the gun designs themselves, as well as the field of view you've given the player. Keep these changes, mate. Thank you, it was a huge gamble to attempt to switch the camera over to PBR lighting and rendering, but it looks so much better! I've posted a development vlog regarding a closed pre-alpha test build that focuses on the gun-play and enemy encounters. As my first commercial game to-be, I ask if any one has interest in giving it a go and providing some feedback to send me a msg at contact[at]rangeplusone.com It would be so much to have community feedback and input from other perspectives! You can check my vlog out here! https://youtu.be/lPNuEu823ko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
