Video Game inspired by Blade Runner

Hello,
I'm an independent video game developer creating a game called Altered State, the game is heavily inspired by Blade Runner, please visit the site and have a look at what we are doing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The game takes place in a future reality a future distopia from a time line starting from anytime now to a future perhaps some 50 years from now.

The technological evolution has accelerated, environmental failure is impending, the corporate empires hold power like feudal lords. Ubber urbanization has reached its zenith and crime is beyond control. The world is a threatening melancholic vision of future reality. A future of monstrous urbanization, terminal decay and environmental collapse. This is the evolution of nihilistic, narcissistic hedonism taken to its end.

Welcome to Altered State.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prologue and film tralier should give you a background to the game, but please take a look around the site

The prologue section gives a nice background to the game, please check it out.

whould love to hear the thoughts and opinions of what BR fans think of my project

Regards Dean Avanti.

from the site design, it looks like its more based off of alien/the matrix more then blade runner. but seeing some of the screenshots, looks like a mix between blade runner and judge dread. looks interesting though, very nice web site, and im very anxious to see where this heads. do you have a music composer yet? if not, frank klepacki might be up to it, since he did the star wars fanfilm music (free of charge i presume) im sure he can churn up some more blade runner mixes for you.

oh, and welcome to bladezone.

yes i was influenced by the matrix in the site design, i wanted to push its cyberpunk look in the site.
On aliens, i have some skins that are influenced by the look of aliens, go to non as-worldpower skins.
funny you should say Judge Dread, i was a major 2000ad fan when i was a kid, i suppose these things come out subconsciously.
Did you download the trailer film. 9.5 min film coming soon.
Though these films are old footage, 9 months old.

it has a shot inspired by the BR Hades flyover shot.



In resources2 in the wireframe maps i have a building inspired by Tyrells pyramid and a map inspired by the Bradbury, ohh and we have a sky car paying homage to the spinner in resources 1, there is a lot of BR type stuff, its just not on the site yet,.
On Music we have a hell of a lot of music see music section on the site to listen to a demo, and a list in resources 1, the music guys did their own versions of music for the game but i wanted a vangelis sound, i love the loneliness of BR soundtrack and really wanted that in Altered State. Ill check that guy out and listen to his stuff, interesting how he has done SW stuff, ive always wanted to do a SW game.

Thanks for the welcome, ive hung out here for ages but this is my first post, theres a few bits of BR news i think you have missed, i better find them and get them posted here.

its a slow 2 weeks for bladezone. i think everyone's dead.

i would comment more on the game, i saw the trailer, but im not too big of a gamer, so i cant say anything more than im looking forward to it.

I thought the trailer looked pretty cool, but as an avid gamer, I know there is a BIG difference between a trailer and a game -- I can't tell you the number of times I've see awesome game trailers and huge hype, only to find the game itself sucked (not that yours does, but you get the point).

yeah. can you guys say "playstation 3" and "xbox 360"? prerenders arent impressive at all when you're showing off a new game. prerenders dont show anything. its a game, we want to see the game, we want to play the game, not watch videos of the game or videos of the game being played by someone else.

I can't download the trailer, don't have broadband. And talking about gaming, I found an article that raise _some_good points avbout the moment the gaming industry is nowadays.

trailer is here

its 6mb, you dont need broardband for 6mb

I know what you mean about hype and game trailers, and i hate those pre rendered films as well, what pre rendered got to do with the game.
There is a video game TV program in the UK called cybernet, they are obssesed with pre rendered hype films, these movies cannot be cheap. id sooner see the money go into the actual development of the game.

by the way the movie is from the game engine, its machinima, so its the game if you get me, also the actual game will look better than the film as the film is 9 months old (dont ask long story) also the finished game will be in unreal engine 3 and not ut2004k, so that will give it a big leap forward in its visuals.

The full movie link looks the same as the demo one..

the link looks the same but isnt.
one says film the other says trailer, the rest is the same, but those 2 words are the differance.

So it is my mistake
