Paratrooper - New Pics

#1 Hey Andy,

Looking good so far - Just a couple of crits on the player models

the male looks a little pale like he needs some more colour in his skin.

and the female looks like she has a major stubble going on (not sure if its the image compresion or what) also some bad stretching there on the rig :/

environments look good though :)

hey where abouts in Aust. are you? im in adelaide

#2 Great screens! Just so you know, these would probably be better in one of the many artist forums (like the showoff area).

#3 Looks good!

Reminds me of FarCry somehow.

#4 Note to both Josh and Will.

Erm... she's a he man!!! Sorry about that - I guess the bandana and skinny arms loses his masculinity.

I will recolour the skin of the main guy and buffy up the other merc - thanks for the comments.

And yes - Far Cry is my inspiration - but it's going to be a survivor horror game as well (aren't they all????)

I live in Perth by the way.

How can I easily transfer this thread over to artist / showoff area?

Thanks guys.

Andy H.

#6 Thanks man!. We are now working on a demo which hopefully will be ready by the end of January. Expect lots of bug blasting, merc smashing action.

#10 Always a shame to see work stop on a game.

#11 PARATROOPER IS TO BE SHELVED INDEFINITELY - WORKING ON SOMETHING MUCH MORE ORIGINAL

Futher to recent discussions about the demo of Paratrooper:Small World, I
will not be releasing it in its current form. I have decided to rebrand
the product and therefore need to change the content in a major way. This
means the demo will not be released for some time now.

This decision was made due the glut of WW2 style shooters on the market. I
believe the rebranding ( and content redesign ) will turn the product into a
fresh game that attempts to provide something new to the already overloaded
FPS market.

Also it was being confused with WW2 shooters too much and the game is really a sci-fi
action game, with contemporary weaponry.

The rebranding is not just changing titles, textures, models and text, I am rethinking the
whole game and focusing on different aspects of the gameplay. I will still use the GeoDyne
engine I've created but I want to make more of an action movie style sci-fi game.

Unfortunately there are expections with the FPS genre that I may have to conform to but
I'm going to try and make the content and design less of what is expected in these games.
Which may make it a risk, but I gotta try this.

I look forward to presenting you with upates on the game's progress as the year
progresses.
