"Press, Release!" Campaign, Level 2 In development game play demo



I'm very excited tonight to bring to everyone the first game play demo of level 2! While it's a very early development demo, there are a few things I'd like viewers to keep in mind... a lack of detail, tuning, and the occasional bug. Level 2 is slated for private testing later this week.
The campaign is slated for release in August.



"Press, Release" Level 2 Update!



It's been a while since I've made updates regarding the campaign.
After much debate, it was decided that part of the level would be removed and remade. Here are two new screenshots from the new version of the level. The design document has also been updated, along with 2D sketches, for anyone interested in seeing those, simply drop me a line!



Enjoy!

Gameplay Demos



I've had time to sit down, again, and while the Left 4 Dead Campaign, "Press, Release" is steadily underway, I've tracked down my old game play videos for my two favorite (and home-made) Unreal Tournament 2004 levels, as well as an early game play demo from "Press, Release" level 1!
Unfortunately, the audio is omitted but at least you get to see the levels in action.
Please Ignore the website in the videos, I'm currently moving to a new domain.





Enjoy the videos! I'm aiming to upload a development demo of "Press, Release" level 2 sometime later this week.

Dungeon Quest, "Press, Release" Update



I've uploaded DungeonQuest to a temp server, as well as officially releasing level 1 of "Press, Release" which is scheduled to be a 4-level versus campaign, for public testing.

Please unzip all files in the Campaign zip file to your maps folder, also, work on level 2 has progressed, but the release date for testers on level 2 has been moved back until July.

Thank-you for everyone's patience during development.

Old Releases, Updated!



Since this is a blog and all, it's about time I show off some of my earlier, and some of my best work. Since Yahoo! Geocities is closing down, I felt it was time to download the photos as well as some of my other levels, for safe-keeping, and memory-sakes.
For those of you who love the old-school classic text-based rpg's Dungeon Quest is one of my favorites, and theoretically the first program I wrote in c++, featuring a fully-featured text-based combat system, and 1980s style room-graphics! I'm old school, I'm sorry.
For those who love the Unreal Tournament series, CTF-Claustrophobia, CTF-Rampage, and BR-Snowblind are sure to delight, from Unreal Tournament 2004.
The first photo is of Claustrophobia, the second is of Rampage, and the third is of BR-Snowblind.





A link for dungeon quest will be made available shortly (I'm in the process of re-writing it for my Palm Treo 700wx phone) and downloads for Claustrophobia and Rampage can be found below.

Download CTF-Claustrophobia
Download CTF-Rampage

Again, Dungeon Quest will be made available shortly :)

"Press, Release." Campaign Update: Level 2



I have four new photos of level 2, which were also posted on Community Left 4 Dead Forums. These showcase some more of the tunnel, as well as the outside, forest area. Again, lighting is in its early stages as design comes before generalized detail.
I will not be making posts for a few days, as I'll be in Orlando for the week.
Enjoy :)



Again, these are pre-beta photos.
I'd also like to thank the testers responsible for helping debug level 1, and
look forward to working with all of you when level 2 is ready for testing.

Press Release Campaign Update!



I have new photos of the campaign available (yay!).
The first two are more detailed versions of level 1 (which is currently unnamed,) and the third is of level 2, which I have recently begun work on.



Please note that level 2 is just a rough sketch, and all detail, lighting, and environments/layouts are subject to change without notice.

Untitled Versus Campaign Announced!



This is my first official post, introducing those of you who are not members of Community Left 4 Dead to my first official Left 4 Dead Versus Campaign.



While there is another campaign I am working on, the above screenshots are early beta release photos pre-polish to give players an idea of how Level 1 will look, or possibly play.
The campaign is scheduled to begin private testing June 23rd.
