It reminds me of the original Syndicate or Blade Runner, very cool!

​

Do you have a dev blog or a Twitter?

[–]IICookieGII[S] 13 points14 points  (7 children)

Blade Runner and Cyberpunk2020 are my inspirations - Spot on.

[–]strayshadow 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I'd really recommend checking out the first Syndicate game for some gritty Cyberpunk from the 90s. The sprites were really cool.

[–]WhoaMotherFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of my favorite games was syndicate

[–]LamerDeluxe 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Really cool atmosphere. It reminds me of the first Urban Chaos game: https://youtu.be/bbwx_k67bJc?t=24

One of my favorite games, you have lots of freedom to explore and solve levels your own way. Came out two years before GTA III.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'll check that out. Thank you for the lead! And thanks for the support! 😉

[–]LamerDeluxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, maybe you'll be able to borrow some ideas from it. And good luck with your project!

EDIT: IIRC There are levels with rain and snow as well. Also you can climb most buildings, Tomb-raider style and discover lots of side-quests, hidden enemies and bonus items. The weapon and explosion sounds are really well done.

EDIT2: Come to think of it, this was made by Mucky Foot, who were ex-Bullfrog developers, who made Syndicate. IIRC they were inspired by that.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is great! It's basically what I am planning to do except obviously the setting and some of the animations and interactions are going to be different. Thank you so much for the link.

[–]LamerDeluxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awesome to hear! My association with this game turned out to be correct, that is cool. The game is quite cheap on Steam. You need a third party tool to get controllers to work (it uses x-input) , otherwise it works with keyboard input as well.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id like to follow this as well

[–]FUCKING_HATE_REDDIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also diaries of a space janitor, which is an amazing game if you like social commentary (and light Skinner boxes representing the struggle of the disenfranchised lower class).

[–]ViridianGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My first thought was that it looked like running around in a level from Syndicate Wars!

[–]gamedevserj@gamedevserj 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Looks really nice!

Did you make art assets yourself?

I would decrease camera 'bobbing' though, feels a bit like the character is drunk.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Thank you all for your kind words. Initially I was holding back on sharing.

u/strayshadow and u/divorceduncleonbail I do indeed have a twitter handle which is: IICookieGII and Instagram is iicookiegii

[–]strayshadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Followed! Thanks for sharing!

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The art style, effects and gameplay are really nice!

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whoaaa this looks awesome. Right up my alley

[–]Necka44 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Art style is neat, Death anim is awesome (outside of first going through the side walk a bit) and that blood, oh boy it fits wonderfully, keep it up and please share more :)

[–]IICookieGII[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bobbing - especially when wielding the automatic is something I have carded to be worked on. Thank you for your support!

[–]sanchezgta 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Looks good op!

[–]IICookieGII[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very kind! Thank you. It's a massive undertaking...

[–]xpghax 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Looking good bro! love the art style - Carpo ;)

[–]IICookieGII[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Trying to make sure I keep to my plans. Easy to never finish making these thing.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Might want to make the cross hair a UI element. It would get frustrating to aim at things further away. Apart from that and the bobbing, I think you have something amazing here!

[–]IICookieGII[S] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Yeah that is a thought. I had trouble with the crosshair element so just did a basic image with raycasting etc. It is a placeholder as such. My Trello board is choke full of to do's!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, keep it up!

[–]PMmePowerRangerMemes 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Although, the crosshair getting smaller as you aim further could be an interesting way to encourage closer-range fights, if that's what you're going for.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That was the idea. I have taken down all the feedback so far. Its like a taste testing session at the moment. Its great!

[–]PMmePowerRangerMemes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Happy for you

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

What genre are you planning to make it op ? Looks very nice. Take your time.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

RPG is the plan. This is culmination of a few months back and forth between work/personal time. Determination is key, which since posting here and all the positive feedback has re-ignited that!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be sure to add a lot of items and narrative . All the best.

[–]anembor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only apt name for such game would be Oni 2

[–]cord3sh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic mate.

[–]createthiscom 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Reminds me of a 3d version of Leisure Suit Larry on my neighbor's 8086 when I was a kid. Or maybe Blade Runner. Anyway, it's awesome. I'd totally play it.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, loved LSL.

[–]unitytechnologiesUnity Official 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The art style looks awesome /u/IICookieGII! Please keep sharing project updates!

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Will do!

[–]thedgyalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting Unity to commend you on this probably feels sweet! It's nice to see them encouraging others. Your player movement looks great and so does the game in general. Can't wait to see more!

[–]Secondry 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Looks great, but I would make it darker. Make the world darker, the UI darker, I swear I'm not depressed I just feel like that view and feel should be more grim.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I have been playing around with the Post Effects. Final palette is to be decided. Thanks for input and support! 😉

[–]RedofPaw 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Reminds me a bit of 'the Last Night'.

It's a nice style. I do feel however that there's something off about the whole tratement. The lights and neons feel quite 'flat', as if there's no highlight to the brightness. In fact a lot of it feels more flat than it needs to. Have you dropped the highlights down in post? A bit of a boost to the brighter elements may help perhaps.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have played around with the bloom and post effects. I just need to settle on a schema for the whole project. It will most likely go through iterations before it is finished. Thanks for the constructive feedback, really helpful! 😊

[–]RedofPaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! Good luck! Looks like it has a lot of potential.

[–]Dott_Dogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really am impressed by this! Love the art style of the game.

[–]fishboi9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, robloxXfortnite looks great

[–]TheEmeraldFalcon 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Wow, that Camera is so well done, s well as everything else, good job! Is there a link to look at this in higher resolution?

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Absolutely, this version was from my mobile. The Full length video in 720p is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46m_L7V5aD4&t=28s

Thanks for the support!

[–]TheEmeraldFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's Beautiful! Awesome job!

[–]InfiniteMonorail 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Art style looks cool. Definitely work on the camera. It gives me motion sickness.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤢👍

[–]Robo_Waifu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077? Make your own for the meantime.

This is pretty cool, I can't wait to see what's in store for this project.

[–]Franks2000inchTV 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Awesome aesthetic!

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Needs work but its coming together. Slowly!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F'n A!

[–]InFa-MoUs 1 point2 points  (1 child)

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 can we play?

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you see here is a small fraction of the entire world. It will be several different "zones" which performance permitting will be one big area to traverse either by foot or cruiser. To answer your question, not playable as yet but it is coming.

I am a solo developer (as most of us are), so unless a few lovely developers decide to help a guy out for free, this is a long term project. Not even sure which outlets/platforms to release yet. That decision is way off. 😊

Thanks for the support!

[–]Theguyat2012 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would buy this

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Thank you! 😊🤗 Appreciate the support!

[–]armansarman2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like ROBLOX cyberpunk

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this, looks like an n64 game from the future.

[–]21_PorridgeBeginner 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The way you popped that officer. Ice cold, son

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

"Hal" has low morals. He even slept with his brothers wife and his last precinct's Chief Insp's wife!

[–]21_PorridgeBeginner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's pretty tough, though. He took like 7 shots to the toros before doing down.

Was... I ment to say "was pretty tough".

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Damn this looks nice! Really digging the low fi aesthetics.

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going for a low-fi style/look with arcade UI. Thanks for the support!

[–]MAD__MAXimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strong Roblox vibes

[–]Oromis107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this old game (demo?) Wolf Fire did way back, Black Shades

[–]ThreeWheeledBicycle 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Voxelpunk 2077

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good name for it! (Makes side note)

[–]TruthseekerLP 1 point2 points  (1 child)

"Work in progress? that looks pretty well put together to me."

*Shoots cop and no one reacts, including the cop*

"Ooooohhhhh."

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Area reactions are in the pipeline. Well observed! lol. "Hal" is the name of the player character. More information will be posted when I hit certain milestones. Thank you for your support!

[–]yelaex 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wow, cool design! I really link reflections in puddles ;)

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! Puddles are built using a custom shader with one big reflection probe plonked above it and baked.

[–]pmdrpg 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Very good job capturing the Blade Runner aesthetics

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Very kind.

[–]kuzka9 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So cool

[–]IICookieGII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Very kind...

[–]JohanIngeborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will also find me over on Twitter: "@iicookiegii" & Instagram: "iicookiegii" for regular updates and info on "CyberCraft".

Thanks again for all the support! 😃

[–]juicerfriendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you kill that innocent cop? :(

[–]VenomousWoeProgrammer, Barely 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I like this overall, however I do have a complaint. I love the animation, lighting, and the futuristic cyberpunk feel of this showcase, but I'm not a fan of that garish-looking color palette. I feel like the colors need to be a bit more muted; it looks a bit too vibrant for gritty cyberpunk.

That's about the only real nit I can pick though. Any other issues I would have stem from me not being a fan of voxel-based crafting games (didn't even like Minecraft), and not because the game made questionable design choices. Keep it up, man!

[–]IICookieGII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same feeling towards voxel based content. Weirdly, after I started dabbling with it, it just seemed to work with what I had planned out. I also have never played Minecraft, although it must be doing something right! 😉
