A playable version of Urban Decay, including sounds and textures, can now be downloaded here (10MB approx):
This is only my second proper Blender game, so I’ve been using it as a learning experience as much as anything else. The game arena is small, and the buildings little more than textured blocks. The characters are also a little… basic; however, they were created, rigged, textured, and animated, from scratch. Please feel free to use them in any projects of your own if you feel so inspired
Please note the following about the game itself:
> Gameplay involves nothing more than wandering around shooting innocent bystanders, in an orgy of senseless violence (think GTA and Postal etc)
> If that style of gameplay does not appeal, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE GAME
> If you do download the game, DO NOT THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT ITS CONTENT
Features:
> Two animated, textured characters, one player controlled, one with (very limited) AI
> After death bystander chars stay in the scene for a while, and a new “live” one is respawned
> A small, moodily lit cityscape arena
> Emitters for splat effects
> Dynamic shadows via GLSL
> Small range of 3d sound fx
> Dynamic camera, including a swoop zoom onto the main figure at startup
Control:
> Mouse to rotate left or right
> LMB to fire
> WASD to go forward/backward, and to strafe left and right
Known issues:
> On initial load the game slows and may go jerky while the operating system caches data
> Ditto, when the first bystander character is spawned into the arena, everything slows right down
> Once past those points gameplay should be reasonably smooth, although the game probably needs some optimisation
> There were some collision detection issues, which I’ve only recently fixed (fingers crossed, as I’ve almost certainly unfixed something else in the process, as is the way of such things)
> There’s a synchronisation issue between the firing animation and the bullets actually coming out, and the bullets are a little hard to see too. I’ll be fixing those, but probably won’t bother issuing a revised version of the demo
Please report any other issues you may find when running the game
