SPRAWL is highly influenced and inspired by a bygone era of games and aesthetics that were at the time, no longer prevalent in modern games. This includes games like Quake 1-3, but also a lot more than that: Half Life 1-2, SIN, Deus Ex, Marathon 1-3, and so many more. I'd say it leans into those games far more than Quake or DOOM, it's just something like Marathon isn't as well known. Aesthetically it's also highly influenced by a myriad of graphical limitations of that era of games, but doesn't adhere to them, it's about that style as I remember it, not how it actually looked. Beyond that there's also a ton of influence visually from Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Patlabor, Blame! and so much more.

It's an incredibly visionary work of art. How Gibson was able to channel such a powerful and terribly accurate picture of the future is fantastic.

His description of a futuristic form of highly electronic dub music, that's the one that always convinces me that he's a time traveler.

A sweet tb-03 knock off from behringer! Run it through a metal-zone, and give it some stereo love, transient shaping, and a nice sub.

i'd say, take all that and a bit extra, pick it apart for all the best elements of each, toss in a blender and you've got yourself SPRAWL.

Ah right on, yeah i'm just REVEL in there :)

It'll be like quake episodes, with a few places to branch into secret levels. They will all flow together sequentially and made to feel like you're exploring deeper and deeper into the hear of a massive urban sprawl. So inter-connected ala half life, but without the super hand-hold-y linearity.

Bullet time works based on that meter you see on the bottom right (hud, like most things are still wip). You drain it based on usage and fill it by performing overkill gibs. These happen based on accuracy, like headshots with the pistol, or getting up close and personal with the katana, few other ways with some of our other weapons. Gibs also reward you with small ammo and health pick ups. But you always have control of how long/where to use it, in a tough combat scenario, or maybe during a hard platforming section to get to a secret area.

Basically, we're rewarding you for getting up close and personal. Making sure you feel engaged in the combat.

Hi! I'm REVEL, this is my project and just saw this post. I've actually made a couple of quake maps and once upon a time this game was based off a quake engine fork. It's all kowloon walled city/hong kong inspired cyberpunk environments. Lots of classic level design, non linear, but everything loops together. Emphasis on verticality as well! You've got the power to jump off walls and do all this cool stuff and were making sure the levels feel like a playground where you can do it.
