Dead Steel is a fast-paced top-down shooter game made during six months of production (including pre-production) by a team of three game artists and four programmers (Team Apem) as part of the Media Design School Graduate Diploma of Game Development.
In the arcade style action game, you take on the role of a heavily armed space marine in a mysteriously abandoned outpost on a hostile planet. You must defend yourself from hordes of single-minded alien enemies. The characters are reminiscent of those in popular science-fiction movies and games.
Team Apem took inspiration from popular top-down shooter titles such as 10tons' Crimsonland, Meridian 4's Shadowgrounds and Sigma Team's Alien Shooter. Although the concept of a top-down shooter is not new, Team Apem brought original elements to the genre with its player-activated ability system.
The result is an exciting and enjoyable game built on familiar mechanics. The player may choose a character model, an ability to help them throughout the game, and a difficulty level to provide adequate challenge to even the most experienced player.
AAA games. Using Gamebryo meant the programmers could benefit from an industry-standard model that already encapsulated a lot of challenging systems, allowing them to better fully focus on gameplay. For the artists, Gamebryo provided a collection of tools to aid in their production pipeline. Much of the gameplay was scripted using Lua, which is already integrated with Gamebryo.
Мнения об игре:
"Suprisingly slick. The gameplay is fast paced and players need quick reflexes to survivie. The music, fog and lighting effects are impressive and the aliens you face, from monsters with huge talons, to blob-like acid spitters, all explode in lovingly created clouds of blood when killed." - Harley Ogier, PC World Magazine (NZ)
"They had some pretty big ambitions to start with, but were able to figure out very quickly what worked and what didn’t. Dead Steel has a dark sci-fi landscape that is brought alive with lighting, particle effects and hordes of bad guys.” - Mike Porter, Media Design School Game Art Tutor
