Game Designs

These are a few basic hand-drawn game designs that I have created.

First Screenshots

Here's a few screen shots of what I've created for the first milestone:
(Keep in mind its early in development and pretty basic right now)

Basic Intro Screen where I have used DrawText() for content, however I will be looking to make use of graphics instead of text for this screen at a later date.

View of terrain and some 3D models loaded to screen, will look to improve terrain texture soon.

Lovely view of a cow in green green pastures.

Game Project Title?!

Hmmm stressful times - game titles are always a tricky thing to come up with, I mean you want to think of something short and snappy but not anything that sounds lame!

Sooooo with it being a sci fi game where aliens attack earth I'm thinking along the lines of ...
Symbiote
or
Invasion
?
(Subject to availability, Title may change)

But who knows...

My Inspiration...

Here's a few games that I will be looking at for inspiration towards storyline, graphic style and feature implementation:

Killzone 2 - first person shooter, great sci fi based storyline

COD: Modern Warfare 2 - Wonderfully addictive war shooter

Doom - classic fast paced shooter
