Does this chain mechanic look fun to use?

I've been experimenting with a new chain ability for Blast Vein, my biomechanical horror FPS.

This ability throws a chain that immobilizes enemies, giving you a chance to reposition or isolate tougher targets.

I'm still tuning it, so I'd love to hear your first impressions. Does it look satisfying to use?

When the boss gives you a call in Turbo Overkill

The Exec came off to me like a Aqua Teen character so I made this.

Bonetox feels like low budget Doom... and that's not a bad thing

I don’t want this opening to sound mean, because I really don’t mean it that way, but I can’t help it - I’d describe Bonetox as a kind of simplified Czech version of modern Doom for the poor-folk. Because that’s exactly how this solo developer’s project seems to me. I find myself in the shoes of an unknown guy, a pistol and a hammer in my hand, surrounded by a bunch of people less fortunate than me, with some huge statue of God-knows-who looming above us, and as they say in that famous movie: “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me!!”

More in my impressions! :)

Possible Animal Liberation Boomer Shooter

Are you thinking about a shooter where you go around rescuing animals from labs, farms, and factories? Lot of gore against evil humans, and lot of love towards animals.

Which version would sound more like you?

A A brutal retro FPS where you infiltrate nightmare facilities and burn down the industry hiding behind them.
B You're not the hero of this story. You're the last resort. A retro FPS about breaking cages open by force.
C A fast, brutal old-school shooter — where every mission ends with lives saved, not just bodies counted.
D A retro shooter about breaking into the worst places on earth — and getting everyone out alive.

Honestly, I don't think there's been a more mismanaged franchise than Quake

First game was a hodgepodge of gothic horror, lovecraftian horror, and sci-fi tech bases. Never mind the messy development, it just worked, somehow (maybe that's why Bethesda bought Id, or the other way around, though it doesn't matter). Actually, it worked brilliantly.

Q2 was just MoH or CoD in a fantasy setting, except a bit better (I don't remember which came first, my point is that it was a lame military shooter, just dressed in a sci-fi setting). Obviously no relation to the first game whatsoever. (Yes, I'm aware that it was never meant to be a sequel, but it doesn't matter, since it officially became one. That and the random Strogg crates in Q1.)

Q3 was an arena shooter. Yes, the gothic/ livecraftinan horror setting was back, but it's a multiplayer-focused game with no real story. As Mr.EMachine put it, id assumed people had friends.

Q4, while alright, was just a discount Halo. I know Halo is popular, but Halo is Halo, and Quake is Quake. And it was a sequel to Q2.

And let's not forget Quake: Enemy Territory, or whatever that browser game was called, which was another multiplayer-focused arena-shooter, sequel to Quake 2 (who even thought Q2 needed so many sequels?!?).

And then there's Quake Champions, which is just Quaker 3 on steroids.

Yes, deathmatch was one of the main things that made Quake as popular as it is, but gods damn it, where's the consistency? Why focus on the lame Strogg when you can have eldritch horrors instead??

I just want a proper Quake 1 sequel. 😔

I wanted an EFPSE style experience but within a modern engine, so I built a Godot 4 template that requires no coding knowledge.

I’ve always admired tools like EFPSE for how fast they let you build, so I decided to build a pure data-driven framework directly inside Godot 4 to do the same thing. In the end after 8 months, I'm finally proud of it.

This system was meant to be for my game, but in the last 3 months or so, I switched into making it a complete template.

This entire dungeon, the custom alien AI, the keys logic, and the weapons were put together in under 4 hours using drag-and-drop modular pieces. No coding was done.

I uploaded the whole showcase here: https://youtu.be/fXiLKPrwr4Q

Promo for my free game Syndeo-Complex (game is focus on level design, puzzle, plateform, atmosphere and of course shooting)

Hello,

After 4 years of early access (and 13 years of development) my game is finished. You can play it for free on Steam.

It's made with the old UDK (Unreal Engine 3), I had fun to make it, maybe more than played it. You will find some parts that doesn't play as FPS and it's why this game is a bit different. I love Nier Automata because of those moments you play another game in the game, so you may find this kind of stuff in Syndeo-Complex (last level is a tower defense for example).

The main inspiration is probably Half-Life / HL2 (Doom of 1993 not far behind) because I love the level design work. Dark Souls and the first Metal Gear Solid have this too. This is this kind of thing I tried to put in my game, interconnections between spaces, shortcuts, elevators, interruptors, new mecanics at every corners.

The game : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1988930/SyndeoComplex/

The soundtrack : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1989010/SyndeoComplex_Soundtrack/

Hope you will enjoyed my modest contribution to the FPS !

Have a nice day,

I'm making a pvp boomer shooter named Bloodspill and the Demo is out now.

Bloodspill is heavily inspired by Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena.
Hope you enjoy the demo <3
