Wlfnstine

What is this monstrosity? Where did it come from? What does it want?

Well, all in all, its actually pretty simple. It wants to remake the MacWolf engine, with more 3d objects (made entirely with basic polygons such as cylinders, blocks, and spheres) and to introduce more types of enemies, things that make the levels a tad more interesting, more weapons, and easier modding

So when this rocking and rolling game comes around, you'd best be waiting.

Screens:






Current notes:
1. That green guy is a nazi grunt, basically the equililent to a brownshirt in Wolfenstein 3D.
2. The hud is just temporary until I get one like the original going.
3. The armor doesn't work, so it will be removed from the final version.
4. Yes, those objects are 3D versions of the objects in Wolfenstein 3d. They were hard to make since I wasn't using a 3d model maker, just assigning cylinders and cones to different coordinates :/
5. Different ammo types? Yeah, so far I have a working knife, pistol, mp40, stenn (which will later be replaced with a chaingun), and a shotgun.
6. For those of you who noticed the red eyes, that a part of my dehumanization process of all of the enemies.
7. This game has no current story, and will thus take the player to random places for no reason, from Casl Wlfnstine to Hell to Alien Crafts to a Japanese warlord's barracks.
And finally, 8. If you played the Doom example on the game maker site, don't worry, this actually has enemies that will shoot you

NEW! ENEMIES LISTED!



The game will have 10 episodes, the first one, of course, being Escape from Castle Wolfenstein, the second being Crossfire, the third The Trail Home. The rest are currently secret, so you'll have to find out

looks pretty cool so far. can't wait to play it.

Great stuff, wish I could script like that in GameMaker >_<

as i always say, make sure there's nice action. alls wasted without some nice action.
anyways, nice thinking making em actually 3d-ish.

Thanks for the comments guys, I really love the support

The game really has no story so I'm really incorperating in as many games as possible. Right now the universes that will be eaten by this game are, of course, Wolfenstein 3D (a majority of the mod is based on Wolfenstein), Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and finally Shadow Warrior. More universes will be devoured by this game once they become available (I might possibly take still frames of Quake 2 enemies and Half-Life characters while I'm at it and incorperate them as well, who knows )

this game sounds cooler and cooler everytime I look at the thread.

Wlfnstine is no longer attempting to remake MacWolf, but is now just trying to emulate some of its gameplay along the way. The gaming experience is going to be far more unique then it would be if it were based on MacWolf, but it will still have some wolf-y feel, I promise

Now updated with the enemies of the first episode

Weekend

So far what I've done (besides whats already in the screenshots) is the Retrodead programmed thoroughly, the Reisedead programmed, and some time this weekend I'm going to get you guys a quick video of gameplay

Well, you can ignore the poll now, the game is going to be sprites instead of 3d, though if I have the time, I might just make it togglable

A demo should be ready for release once I have finished the first episode, which shouldn't take too long now since I have enemies, weapons, health, walls, decals, and almost everything else programmed; don't expect any promises though, I might just decide to keep the demo from the public until my birthday, which is in December.

We'll see, we'll see...

Also expect to start seeing more screenshots and stuff like that soon.

Here is a quick game-play video. I still have some work to do on it, but oh well.

ok, john, i posted a reply via youtube

Looking forward to it
it looks really good! keep up the good work. and btw if you need that sound from mac that you hit your enemies, try to look in some of Laz Rujaz's Wolfendoom mods I'm sure you'll find something useful.

Hey everybody! Guess what! Project not dead

It has been more of asleep, on temporary postponement (you can almost never trust me to go fully through on a project, so many started but never finished )

I've been working on a demonstration of the engine's uses. It's going to be a 3 level mod of Wlfnstine named Bunker 68, which will show the capabilities of the engine that I made with Game Maker(most of which that were never possible with the original wolfenstein 3d.) It will feature a futuristic setting and levels unlike those in Wlfnstine (this is an engine demo, not a game demo).

Also a big thanks to Karharis who inspired me to get back to work on the project

Wow.It's so cool.I can't wait for it to come out.

Good to hear you've woken up the game
Can't wait to see that game in action, I really liked that demonstration vid you made some weeks ago
And I always like to inspire people I'm glad to hear that it worked
Good luck with the project. And btw, I've fixed that annoying bug that made one of my Directional Sprites into a ammo box it just shows that people should never give up trying to fix things, it's only making us better

Actually I never thought taht the project was dead. I just kindda forgot it, becuase my memory is turning into a bowl of lard.
Good to hear you are back.
Hey, can you make objectives in your game? Like you must accomplish it, or some sort of score system for the objectives you finished? That would be awesome

I will be making something similar to achievements in most XBox360 games known as medals. Do certain things, you get different medals. When I release the engine of the game for modding I'll be sure to make it easy and understandable how to create your own medals for earning.

sounds cool. I wonder if anyone will recreate some wolf3d mods for your game.

Wow, I can't wait to use this game's engine :]
That'll be so much fun XD
