Maze Slaughter - Prototype - Menu v1.0
Опубликовано: 10 нояб. 2018 г
What's Maze Slaughter?
It's "Serious Sam" meets "Rammstein" in a maze with piling bodies
Start in an everytime newly generated maze and find the way out.
Leave a trail of death and misery behind you, as you bring mayhem to the maze's monster population.
Fill the passages with fear and blood and walk over your slaughtered victims corpses.
Pile the bodies and build mountains of corpses, and eventually reach the top of the walls!
Kill as much as possible. As gory as possible and find the exit!
Что такое Убийственный лабиринт?
Это "Крутой Сэм" под музыку от "Раммштайн" в лабиринте с штабелированием в кучи тел.
Начинайте каждый раз в только что сгенерированном лабиринте и найдите выход.
Оставляйте за собой след смерти и страданий, поскольку вы приносите хаос в лабиринт, населенный монстрами.
Заполняйте коридоры страхом и кровью и шагайте по трупам вами убитых жертв.
Сложите тела и постройте горы трупов и, в конечном итоге, вы сможете достичь вершины стен!
Убивай как можно больше. Чем больше крови, тем ближе выход!

Find yourself in a gladiatorial alien game show.
Teleported into a maze arena you bring death and mayhem.
Blood will be shed in the #MazeSlaughter .. Alien blood..

We all need some quality time. How about bathing in a pool of blood, whilst murdering another hundreds of aliens in the #MazeSlaughter ? Yes, THAT is refreshing!
But be aware. Drowning in blood tastes really disgusting
You are playing "Dan Jerouz"
He is a butcher from New York and throws a BBQ party in his backyard.
This is when he suddenly gets abducted by snobby aliens and finds himself
in a gladiatorial alien game show in maze like structures.
If he survives all mazes he will eventually reach the portal which brings him back.
Вы играете за "Дэна Джероуз"
Он мясник из Нью-Йорка, который затеял барбекю на своем заднем дворе.
И тогда он внезапно был похищен инопланетянами и очнулся уже в гладиаторском инопланетном игровом шоу в Лабиринте.
Если он выживет во всех лабиринтах, он в конечном итоге достигнет портала, который вернет его обратно.

Maze Slaughter
Maze slaughter is a fast paced, rogue-like first person shooter in a maze with piling bodies.
Release Date
In development.
We are happy to take part in this years GDC in San Francisco since we won a funding for a booth at the German Pavillion.
Come around and play our small prototype!
Мы рады принять участие в GDC этого года в Сан-Франциско, поскольку мы выиграли финансирование для стенда в павильоне Германии.
Приходите и поиграйте в наш маленький прототип!
хорошо, сказать особо нечего, но мы наконец-то сумели избавиться от этих надоедливых стенок вокруг конечного портала, и игрок может стартовать
скоро будет новая стим-сборка
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
ok, not much to say but we finally managed to get rid of those pesky walls around the end portal and the player start wheee
a new steam build is coming soon
also a small peek into our change list, teases for flying platforms above the maze... wheeee #2
- implemented a reliable detection and removement of the wall around player start and portal endpoint.
- implemented "left and right" cursor usage in concept screen
- made the jobaks spawn from more far away. this is due to the removed walls around the portal
- also started implementing moving platforms above the maze but put them in a seperate sublevel. to see them you have to set it to "always loaded" heavy WIP here
- also changed the jumppads, they will now send you into moving direction and not back to center of maze
made this bcs of the moving platforms.
since we have a barrier around our maze, jumppad direction is no problem anymore
in a not too far future we will also start implementing the Twitch integration with user interaction...fasten your seatbelts

Remember our iconic concept art from Jann with Dan being screamed at by a grunt?
See how this grunt came to life by our 3D Character Artist Louis. What a lovely little "Nacktmull" this is.

- rehauled destruction of walls with the new "chaos" system
- a twitch integration with some viewer interaction
- a new enemy class, the giant
- new weapons
- more stable framerate and overall performance increase
for the time being we are busy making a living so not much of an update here but a small gameplay video about the current prototype that we had to make to apply for the indie arena booth at gamescom this year!
В настоящее время мы заняты тем, что зарабатываем на жизнь, поэтому здесь не так много обновлений, но есть небольшой геймплейный ролик о текущем прототипе, который нам пришлось сделать, чтобы подать заявку на стенд для инди-арены в gamescom в этом году!

Recently we were busy rewriting our game and starting a real production version of it with the Unreal Engine version 4.22.
Ofc it will take ages until we can show the new version but in the meantime we can drop some nice visuals every now and then. So today you will see our main enemy: Nacktmull (production name)

We are adding more boom to the RCP family 💥 Say hello to the Gun and the Frag as Giant Gun Games and FRAG Games join our international gamedev forces. Read it all in our press release.
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
The Gun and the Frag:
two new development studios join the RCP family
remote control productions (RCP) welcomes Giant Gun Games and Frag Games to their international roster of studios, expanding to South-Asia for the first time.
Munich, March 6th, 2020 - remote control productions announced the two latest additions to their international family of game developers. CEO Hendrik Lesser welcomed Giant Gun Games from Germany and Frag Games from Pakistan. "We have been focusing on international expansion a lot over the last three years," said Lesser. "However, at the same time, we always said that we keep looking for great talents in our backyard. In this light, I'm happy that we deliver on both promises: expanding to the APAC region by signing Frag Games on the one hand and adding the skilled team from Giant Gun Games from our home market Germany", the CEO continued.
Frag Games is a full-service game studio from Lahore, Pakistan, with a headcount of 60 people. Describing themselves as a close-knit team of game designers, artists, quality analysts, and engineers that represent the best talent the country has to offer. "The partnership with RCP is key to taking Frag to the next level. We've worked on our craft since 2013, building a team that understands both the joy and toil of games. We're delighted to join the RCP family their culture, experience, business savvy and industry knowledge are second to none. We are passionate about making great games and fully believe this deal is the best path to our goal: firmly planting Pakistan on the game industry map.", said Ali Ihsan, CEO of Frag Games.
Giant Gun Games was founded in 2018 by Sascha Henrichs, a veteran of the German Games Industry with Game Designer and 3D Artist credits on the successful Gothic and the Risen series. The nine-strong team unites a mix of veterans and young guns, who are actively working on Maze Slaughter, a rogue-lite first-person shooter. "RCP is excellently positioned in all areas related to game development. We are happy that Giant Gun Games has found a strong partner in RCP, who has our backs covered and paves the way for successful development!" commented Henrichs on the partnership.
RCP will represent both teams in their Business Development efforts and provide their expertise for Game Production, Finance management, HR, and Marketing.

see a rare photo of my desk at PB from around sept 2000.
just found it. you can see how we had to organize the forests back then.
mesh portals had to be named in a painful process by hand and a super strict naming convention. therefore i had to print them out and name them all on paper before executing the task in 3dsmax
P.S.
if i remember correctly, also the upsides of the forests always had to have correctly named portals.
and also the ground vertecies had to be 100% correctly placed over the over vertecies making it a complete water tight cell.
it was ridiculous to create this madness.
but i remember later on it was kinda automated to some degree..
but yea it's long ago. i do not remember anymore
i can no more remember in detail but i do know that the play area was cut down in the later development, since we aimed for horse riding in the first place and needed a larger level for that. however horse riding was no more possible to implement since stuff was already gettin hot for us with all those bugs and the time pressing. so additional areas in the west were cut away. however we never got to the point to really work on those western areas.
stumbled over this small screen i took during risen 1 development.
we modeled all landscapes by hand back in the day and the stuff was made in 3dsmax.
and here i compared landscape sizes in 3dsmax.
see how small the risen landscape was compared to the gothic 3 landmass (could be that i posted this already at some point. just found it in my pics again)
