NaissanceE birth by Mavros Sedeño

Completely insane and creepy environment 😀 Damn, I dream to be able to make a playable map with this kind of environment !

From the author : In continuation with my first mod Naissance Jeux d’ombres released en 2007, NaissanceE is a short first person adventure in a big unusual world. Taking place in a primitive mysterious structure, the game mainly consists to explore and feel the deep and strong ambiance of this atemporal universe but platforming and puzzles sections will also enrich the experience. Loneliness, confrontation to gigantic architectures and imagination provided by philosophical journey in this lost area should enjoy players waiting for this kind of disturbing trip, lead by contemporary meditative music. For now the development progression is quite satisfying but a lot of work still need to be done, so public release should be somewhere in 2013.

Chaos Domain + Speed Kills! games by Holy Warp, iPad trailers

Ah, this bring me back when I was teen, playing arcade and console games 😀 If you like retro 2D games with current gameplay and next gen gfx then those games are serious games to think of ! From the company :

Chaos Domain, a UE powered 3D run and gun retro game like for iOS. The game is highly influenced by run and gun games from 8-bit and 16-bit era, including Contra series, as well as titles like Abuse and Doom Troopers. The game is set on a huge spaceship occupied by chaos cultists, where the main character (who clearly looks like a hi-tech version of the god Anubis) must kill everyone in sight.

Speed Kills! draws inspiration from 90’s classics, where players must use weapons, power-ups, and superior driving skills to best their opponents. Traditional action-packed racing as we all like it. Old school stuff, powered by UDK. Players compete in various championships, ranging from bootleg rallies on the outskirts of the galaxy to big-league circuits set against the Goliath skylines of metropolis cityscapes. Players can purchase offensive and defensive vehicle upgrades, buy new cars, collect power-ups and earn bonuses.

All info at the official website. Enjoy the iPad trailer 😀

CTF-Mako, second post

I’m happy to say that my third CTF map, CTF-Mako is now finished 😀 It is my first reverse CTF and it’s non stop action!

My first intention was to release a pre-final at the beginning of December, then the final the 12/12/12. My mapping time since the first post was almost none because real life kept me busy.

This month, CBP3 vol. 5 was a surprise for the community and I was asked to beta test the pack in private before the public release. So for the few moment I had with UT3, it was about beta testing. I didn’t had the time to test all the maps from the pack, sadly so even less time to work on my stuff. So, the community have a new bunch of awesome maps from the CBP3 team, more the holidays are only in 1 week.

That being said, I change my mind and won’t release a pre-final. I’ll release the final instead simply because the map please me as it is. There is no issues, it look, play, sound & feel as I want. Therefore, I’ll release a 1.1 version if a serious issue appear. Expect the final release in the first days of January 2013.

You can follow the release of my map at my UOF thread 🙂
