But before I do that, I want some actual feedback. I remember back in the day when people used to post up a mod and Lopers used to tear it apart with pointed, accurate and productive criticism. I was terrified to do anything but silently download mods and never breathe a word of my own crap creations. Now I need you guys to tell me what you think about the thing I have been working on. This is as close as any mod I have worked on has come to a release for the entire time I have been modding. THIS IS IT BROTHERS!
So the amount of times I have destroyed mod posts because they lack media is uncountable. I am not about to fall into the same trap. Here's some info about DAB.
DAB's premise is "You're in an action movie GO!". We have spent a lot of time tailoring the game for pure fun. Respawn time? Who has fun waiting to respawn? Took it out didn't we. Walking? Screw that. We got dives, slides and flips. You can initially think of it like Max Payne on steroids, multiplayer. Actually we have bullet time too. Slow mo activates server wide which initially sounds like a screwy mechanic but in reality it works well. Players are always in the midst of the action so when someone pops a slowmo it's more fun for all involved.
Here is an ever so slightly out of date gameplay video:
And a bunch of pictures
As much as we need votes (and the word to be spread) I really want to see what you guys think of the game. In the vein of shit maps nights I think Lopers could really get some fun out of it before source breathes it's long-time-coming final death gurgle.
On an ever so slightly related note, I have been using a screen recording program called Action by Mirrilis which is pretty good, I get no framerate drops on my laptop and the videos come out squeaky clean and no compression issues. I would LOVE a playtest video or two to see how a newcoming player handles our control scheme and all the rest that comes with seeing a stranger play your mod.
