Binnenkort in vroegtijdige toegang

De ontwikkelaars brengen dit spel uit terwijl er nog aan gewerkt wordt en gebruiken de feedback van spelers bij de ontwikkeling.

Opmerking: Spellen in vroegtijdige toegang zijn nog niet voltooid en kunnen nog veranderen. Als je niet staat te springen om dit spel in de huidige staat te spelen, kun je beter afwachten hoe het spel zich verder ontwikkelt. Meer informatie

Wat de ontwikkelaars zeggen:

Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'This game turned out to be rather more ambitious in scope than I had initially anticipated, especially for a single person. As such, I have a lot of the grunt work still to do because there's just so much of it. I want to release the game on a per-episode basis (see below) in part because the episodic structure is a staple of mid-90s shooters, but also so I can then incorporate feedback from the first episode into the second and third.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Probably longer than I would like because that's how these things usually pan out, isn't it. I'm hoping for somewhere between six and nine months, but only time will tell.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version is to include three episodes with ten levels (plus secret bonus levels) each. This also involves more enemies and weapons.
Once the full version is released, the first episode is supposed to become the "Shareware Version" - in other words, a demo.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The base is largely finished, there is still a lot of modeling, texturing, rendering and especially mapping work to do.
Six weapons are currently implemented fully, as well as seven enemy types, although the enemy AI still needs tweaking.
The bulk of the remaining workload is level creation, but since even "finished" levels are still subject to change as the game progresses I'm not ready to say that even one of them is truly done. However, I am willing to put it as "five levels are currently in progress" and two of them haven't seen significant changes in a while.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Price will not change when we leave Early Access.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Community feedback will, where appropriate, be incorporated into later releases, as the players' enjoyment is important to me and I want them to be happy.
Players are encouraged to leave their feedback, good or bad as long as it is constructive, in the forums. I'll do my best to address criticism both in replying and, where applicable, in fixing the game.'

Over dit spel

In a world where cultists desperately need to be shot...

What, Were You Expecting A story?

Oh, Alright.

You are *checks notes* Gary, an unassuming nobody with no backstory, personality or, for the moment, voice, who got kidnapped by an evil cult aiming to summon their god into this reality. You are the final sacrifice. And you're having none of it. You break out of your cell, and kill literally everybody so the cult cannot summon the great evil they worship.

A Window Into The 90s


3D enemies? 3D weapons? No. The enemies, the weapons, most of the props are all 2D sprites. What 3D models there are are crude and low-poly. Texture resolutions are abominable. I even wrote a special shader that lowers the apparent colour depth.

Commitment to the 90s aesthetic is near absolute: The sole exception is that the weapon viewsprites are normal mapped, which is anachronistic but looks so good.

Boom, Pew, Bang


Shoot all the bad guys! Or hit them! Or kerplode them!
Defeat your foes with these bog-standard FPS weapons:
  • Carpenter's Hammer
  • Pistol
  • Submachine Gun
  • Shotgun
  • Hand Grenade
  • Fire Staff
  • Staker
  • Rocket Launcher
(Note: List subject to change as I see fit.)

Reinventing the Wheel


Unity? UE? Build?
No.
That would be easy.
Hecatomb is coded entirely in GameMaker. I had to do everything 3D myself. Among the things I had to figure out are:
  • Drawing walls and ceilings without tanking performance
  • How sprite-based enemies move
  • Shaders to restrict the colour palette
  • A normal mapping shader for the weapon viewsprites
  • How to calculate the position of bullet holes in a wall (it uses the tangent!)
  • How to bake lighting into the map
  • How mouselook works (Note: vertical mouse look is implemented, but disabled.)
  • And many more that cropped up over the months but I can't think of right now.
