Allthough this game is pretty much completed as far as storyline, graphics, gameplay, and extra features. There was a mass amount of added bounus features failed to be implanted do to lack of time and resources of help. on A sidenote, there are still a few minor bugs we are playtesting to figure out.. but as far as the overall game goes... This game is 95% accessible in all parts, making it pretty much finish . A follow up Final copy will be made in a weeks time and I will then like to get this post moved to the Competed game forum, if that is ok with the admins

Reasons why this game was not able to be posted at a sooner date:

- Real life complications

BackGround Story [ Non Spoiler ]



In the year 2012 and the world faces its largest gobal crisis when a shortage of food leave millions to strave each week. World leaders despretaly try and find a solution, but the problem wasn't solved until a man named Rothn Isanberg came up with a drastic idea. . . .

His idea narrowed down the root of there problems.... Human population. He protested that human population was extremly to fast and if the problem was not fixed, humanaity would face extinction sooner or later.
Many agreed that he was crazy and that his idea was to ludacris to even think about... but seeing as how many were dying either way and the economy was on the brink of collapsing they feared they had no choice....

Many leaders sought out to reduce the population by force, Incidents were leaders used allibi's such as Earthquakes or Terroist attacks, in oder to kill mass amounts of people on a daily basis. It was long before riots begain to break out, crime sprees became more problamatic, and the world was turned into chaos.

This period of time was refreed to as the Second Holocaust...
While the planet was in Chaos, Rothn managed to etablish the worlds most fierced alliance ever to be created , The Flerdinian Empire . It consisited of Countries from all Western and Eastern Europe, and Western Asia, including Russia
Having one main goal in common, Rothn turned to a new plan.... The only plan in which to elimate the human population with to much chaos and distrust from the people... was th start a war!

In 2014 , Rothn alreayd led the entire world into WW3..... The Flerdinian Empire against all that oppused there Monarchy.
Having no choice but to fight. America and the rest of the world made there own alliance with all the remaining countries not under Rothns influence and thus split the world into 2 main forces..
As time passed , Rothns plan for world Conquest started to change... As well as the technology of mankind. New weapons were constanlty being built everday, as soon as the mass production for Armored suits classified as MECHS....
Later on, a unkown German Scientist discoverd a new type of element called Neutrinium, and it gave birth the most devasting bomb in history, the Mk23Rothn decidid to use this new weapon on the 2 main countries that still oppused him, America and South Korea.

Only 7 of these fearsome bombs were made before the scientist who discoverd the unkown element, mysteriously disappread..
2 missles were launched , with one of them failing before impact.... the other...
Managed to Desolate the Entire country... turning inot a wasteland..... Seeing the horrific power of these missles. Rothn himself hid them, in fear that they might be used against him someday

As the war prolonged, many more lifes were lost. The Flerdinian Empire having completed there goals of reducing human population saw no more of a reason to fight, and with that. The Death of Rothn Isanberg offically ended the war. But the Alliances were Still kept in tact and to this day remains a constant tension between the 2 forces

[Scorneo]

I've played through your demo and i liked it but it did have alot of flaws. Some of them are flat out buzzkills.
Here's a small summary (+ : Positive & - : Negative)

+ The Story
The story is somewhat engaging and i enjoyed the intro. It's rare to see a project with custom resources nowadays. I'm not german but i found that the "german" guy who started the whole war to be a bit insulting. But it made me think about Rucka Rucka Ali's song

Okay Germans started up World War I then they was like "Whoops my bad! "
We said it's okay then a couple years later, they start a world war again.
They killed like a million Jews and then they killed another five million.
I think we should take them all to school and just blow they ass up right now!

Fuck y'all
"Nein please don't blow us up! "
Get fucked
"But it was only a game! "
Y'all suck
"But we won't do it anymore! "
You'll never eat a weinerschnitzel again!

.
Which is partly historically true. Do i need to say more ?

- Super Massive Über Lag
The lag was truely massive on some maps and i really wonder why. You mentioned it at the "negative" but i have to say that it's really a huge buzzkill. I'm currently playing on my laptop and it lagged alot. I had to play with 5-10 FPS (!!!) when i usually can run Borderlands at 50+ FPS. I think one of the problems may be that you are using alot of unnessecary events. I found that you can only "jump" at specific locations (thus, uses alot of events.). Vlad has a script which enables jumping anywhere on the map and it's very customizable.

+/- Gameplay
The gameplay has it's ups and downs. I would have enjoyed playing the game if it wasn't for the lag but what really bothered me the most was the sense of misguidance. I found myself many times lost and didn't know where to go. Especially at the beginning once you got your money from mom and went outside. The map was too dull and somewhat identical so it was hard to know where i was and where i was going. I ended up spending 10 mins wandering around the whole town (this includes the time delay due to poor FPS update). I hope you forgive me but i had to decrypt your game just to see where i had to go next to progress. I also found a small bug with the "sniper"-training session. Even though i was shooting directly at the mechs/robots, they remained unhurt. I was forced to shot on the tile right in front of them to take them out which i found very frustrating, unrealistic and uncalled for.

+/- Battles
I've been using ABS ever since the first version for a very long time ago until recently so i know it's capabilities and it's flaws. Unfortuneatly, they do buzzkill the game. I totally respect that it's Vlads fault and there isn't much you can do about it but i found it very weird that even though i was just a few squares away shooting with my rifle on a hypersuited guy, he still walked around as if nothing happened (i was like: "what??"). The enemies are really dumb and walk around randomly and sometimes the battles just felt very repetitive, boring and dull. It could have been a huge bonus if you could add obstacles on the battlefields where you can go take cover and shoot and whereas enemies will be somewhat smarter (mess around with custom movement perhaps?). This project (click here) managed to make a fun battle right at the beginning due to obstacles. I found it very fun and useful to go behind a car for cover and then sit around the corner waiting for the enemy to pass by and pang, he's dead.

+ Resources
I was amazed by the amount of resources. This really boosts up the gameplay.

I know it's still in development but all i can say is that this is a rough diamond. With proper polishing, this can turn into a great game but for now, it's mediocre/average. I'll keep an eye on this project though as i really want to know how it'll turn out

[apoc]

Thank you so much for the feedback im actually kinda glad that you experinced the lag, cause at frist I thought it was just my computer but now I know what the cause is ( and it partially the jump events ) and I managed to reduce the lag cause

As for battle system, I completly understand and we are wondering how we can make it any better without taking any ideas from anyone else, we like to be orginally is all we put alot of work into making it look better then what it already was but always room for imporvement ty for that advice

If the game is a lil misguiding then please forgive me, I think that was mostly my fault and I will try my best to make it more clearer for the players ( I tend to get carried away when making scense and assume everone knows the map like me lol sorry ) and no worries about decrytping it, but I would say thats pretty embarrsing on my part if you have to go that far to just understan were to go XD sorry, I will fix that up asap

ty again for the feedback and would love to hear more from you if you ever decided to stop by and look at it agian when I fix up these things

Hey is anyone else logging in points to win free prizes from the Mystic Oracle Slot Machine. .? I am no expert at playing slots but this doesn't seem like gambling to me. It's a free game where you just keep winning points. I don't know how many points I need to win big prizes but I'm setting up an account so I can play online too (games.maars.net).

I just downloaded the game too, nice looking and realistic slot game!

[Rixis]

It's nice to see another futuristic style game around, despite how long VX has been around these are still quite rare.

And I read over your story and I have to say It is pretty well done, lots of the background history is well thought out and pretty realistic.

There are some parts I found a little odd but I have to say you did a great job and put in lots of effort.

[apoc]

Much apprecation for the comment . The game went into devolpment around 2008 as my frist rpg/vx project, now that I think about it. I nearly spent 3years on this XD but It was fun none the less . yea sad there arent many futuristc rpgs out there for vx, my opinion is that most use turn based battle sytems for there games so not much verstile can come from using futuristic elements like guns, or mechs . ( just my opinion )

Yeah I did the same. And I honestly don't find the system too limited myself, but I can see your point. Anyway great job again, hope to see some more stuff from you in the future with ACE maybe.

[habyunghun]

A bit too hard but a very fun game!I hope you make even more games like this!(Even though I am stuck on mission 2 )

[apoc]

Mission 2 let me think

if you want a bit of help view the Spoiler

Spoiler:

Yea the one where you have to do a bit of reconisance. Now I do find this one to be a little challenging since mainly the mech your using doesnt have offensive capibilties until later levels. But luckly for you the mission doesnt revole around fighting so ( technically, if you wanted too ofcourse ) you can just slip your way through, without fighting any enemies and beat the mission ( still a bit hard though ) but I hope that helps
