I have my new game "The Squad - episode one" almost finished.You can see screenshots in the website:
http://thesquad.iespana.es/
It pretend to be a series of mini-sized games about a Special Force's squad in sci-fi stories.
I hope to release this first episode, for free, before this weekend...

Why not wait till it's released before announcing it?

Sites that say "coming soon" are a real put off!

Good luck with the game though - looking good.

I am assuming the screenshots reflect the game. They are a bit empty and dark. It might be an idea to post some with a bit more to see and a bit more colour.

looks good, release the demo!

Where did you get the soldier?!?!?! I wish I could find them :(


angel martinez(Posted 2008) [#6]
I bought the soldier model from coder workshop a couple of years ago.The model was created by Psionic, and my game uses another free models from him (Psionic):)

Downloading now :)

Ok played and its alright, but I can barely see anything till I get to helicopter, and the helicopter kills you before you can do anything, you only get a semi auto gun and the helicopter can point the nose directly down and shoot you down with missles/machine gun?

But I managed to kill the helicopter...Woot...Now what?

Had fun though.

I like this picture of it:

Nice game but has some major playability issues.

Camera system needs a lot of tweaking.
AI needs some work.
There is no health bar but I think it's intentional, screens turning into red.
More weapons would be cool.
Physics have a lot of bugs. They are not working as they should.
Helicopter part is really hard.

If you can sort these problems out and polish it some more, episode 2 is a potential hit. Congratz on finishing it.


Chad(Posted 2008) [#13]
Mortiis brings up good points.

The sounds are, well, terriable. I couldn't tell when I was shooting till I really listened.

The physics are weird, because I ran into a dead body of a soldier and he flew like I kicked him 30 yards.

Listen to the other people's comments and you'll gain constructive criticism and have good idea's for improving your game!

Good start, look forward to updates!

Is there any of you entering the hidden laboratory and finishing the episode?
Thanks fot your comments.
(Just as a curiosity,the growl sound sample of the guardian dogs is recorded from my dear 9 years old rottweiller, :))


Mortiis(Posted 2008) [#16]
After dying 7 times on helicopter part, I deleted it forever from my harddisk :D


Xzider(Posted 2008) [#17]
I dont think anyone could, I just redownloaded and now it says E to action at lab door, never did before.

Edit - Just beat it, was pretty cool... Took a couple trys on big spider boss.
