The Long Way is released!

Post by Sgw32 »

The Long Way Demo by SGL-TEAM
Released 28 august 2011

Image
A short story:
The gameplay happens on a planet VENUS, in a mysterious labs - PHOL_LABS build by goverment of Earth. You worked in them until a strange accident happens. You should escape from labs...

Please read readme file before playing, it contains very useful info.

Demo is working on a current version of Run3 Game Engine.

Please report any bugs, except bugs listed in readme file.

System Requirements:
Intel Dual Core 2.0+ GHZ (recommended modern)
NVidia or ATI ps_2_x syntax compatible(recommended NVidia, higher than 8800Gt)
1 gb RAM(recommended 2 gb)
200 mb of hard disk memory

DOWNLOAD HERE

Sorry for a high requiremets, our engine is very unoptimized. It has a very difficult solution for lighting.
Anyway, you can boost the game from low FPS to high(in readme).
On my friend computer(notebook made in 2009 year) it gives 35-40 FPS, but on my(NVidia 8400M) it gives 6-20 FPS.

The game supports stereo mode! You need an anaglyph glasses to play with it(very expensive for FPS)

We are proud to release our first production, it's a big honor for all of us.

But yet, it's difficult to make games with a team of 3 teammates. Also, 2 of them aren't able to often help me with development. So, often only I make the game. We want to make a Full game, but we prefer to make a good game on a good engine, and not just randomly placed models from 3rd party sites.

Yes, I want some new people in my team:

SGL-TEAM Advantages:

Our own custom built Run3 Game Engine(with many tools).
Subversion Server
Websites - one on ucoz, one paid.

We need:
Modeller and Animator
Art Designer
Texture Artist
Mapper
CG Shader Coder



Please join us, we need some great people in our team!

or PM.
Enjoy our production,
SGL-TEAM


UPDATE:

"The Long Way" is released after the long development. There was a long way of making this game, which started 8 years ago. Also, the game plot was invented exactly 9 years ago, 27th October 2008.

Hello.

This year I released a new demo.

The Long Way Concept01 Demo

Download:

http://www.moddb.com/games/the-long-way ... pt-01-demo

Prelude
You survived after the PHOL_LABS accident in PHOL_LABS undergrounds, but you are bleeding and soon you see a group of monsters, and a door near them. You blocked the door, and closed it. Unfortunately, you fell down in a shock. You get up and remember everything. You are lucky, the place you appeared is an emergency station. It has a teleportation complex in it! Now you should find a way to turn it on and get out of there.

Gameplay
The new features in this demo is a 3d-computer screens. Now it has an interface in it. I used a modification of buttonGUI.

Please read readme.txt for some quick info, or read the info about the previous part.
The story is connected to the first demo, but the game happens in different locations. In the first demo it's PHOL_LABS RTS Venus station, which is destroyed in the end of first demo. In this demo you can read some references to the first demo.

Now some info about the future of the project. I plan developing the full game. However, I'm entering the university this year, and it's difficult to make the games and to study at one time.
I'll try to make some quick sketches of maps.

We need many people in our team, and maybe it doesn't matter, how can you help us. If you can, please send me letters to moneywed@yandex.ru
or Skype - moneywed.

SGL TEAM.

Great! This is not indie, but proffesional quality game engine, and can make commercial games for game markets lofts and even produce machinema with facial animation quality! Possibly C-class cutsceness.

"The Long Way" is released after the long development. There was a long way of making this game, which started 8 years ago. Also, the game plot was invented exactly 9 years ago, 27th October 2008.

In the release you can see the first part of a game plot.

You will in the body of ordinary man of a post-apocalyptic world. In your last working day, you will see the pictures of your home, destroyed city, suburbans and the research enterprise, while the upper-goverment solves their problems in a bad way, which leads to a disaster.

One of a feature of the game is an ability to use in-game computers. Also, you have an inventory with your documents, money and other things.

There are several ways to get to the enterprise, and you can choose your own.

The character system can't be called "advanced" (because of a zero budgets for the game), but some characters play their role in a plot. Facial animation support makes their speech correct and connected with the sound.

The will be a sequel I the game. It will be announced.

You can download the game from the link:
