Downfall - Sneak Preview
When the economy fell we fell with it.
.. and so did the government.
What's left of North America isn't much, in fact it's next to nothing. Living every day in fear that it may be your last, having to take a gun out everytime you so much as want to get supplies.
Few maintained their humanity after that day. Some 'opted out', others drank themselves to death. The others.. us... we keep going. We fight and we kill just so we can see another wretched day, of a wretched life upon a wretched world.
This is life for us now; this is our downfall.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Hi, everyone - in this thread I'm going to be giving everyone a basic concept of the new game and community we are creating titled "Downfall".
"Downfall" is a Military based game set in a dystopian North America where the American Economy has essentially collapsed, leaving the rest of the continent in peril due to lack of trade, the countries quickly go into decline, and due to lack of government presence the people of North America are tasked with fending for themselves.
If you've ever played Tweeeeeeee's "Lands of Valor" you will be very familiar with this concept; if not I will try to explain to the best of my abilities.
In Downfall, (DF) there will be one large map, this map will be played on by six main factions / squads, called "Platoons". Platoons are large, Military-based Squads of Soldiers and will consist of up to 64 people at one time.
There are three types of Platoons -
Noble (Good)
Barbaric (Evil)
Survivalists (Neutral)
There will be a large map based slightly off of that seen in Apocalypse Rising. Bottom line, each Platoon will have a base, supplies and weapons. The goal for each Platoon is to capture territory and protect it. Everyone in a Platoon is a trained and skilled Soldier, but to succeed at this teamwork is ESSENTIAL.
Downfall is not public yet and is not estimated to be until Spring of 2014 at latest -- but to play and be a part of it you will have to sign up for a Platoon when the groups are made.

Nice, but I will remind you to be careful about gangs and terrorism for places as it is against the rules.
So remember that! |

"Downfall" will strictly revolve around the military aspect. It is survival of the fittest. |

Overhauled the inventory system, instead of it being dynamic yet buggy... It is now going to be generic and, "fun". |

With Kori finished, we've started progress on the core map. Implementing terrain and other areas. Trav is working on Platoon Chat, and is also doing the scripting for the guns while I build them.
Those who are apart of Kabang! Studios will be able to see the map before everyone else. So join K. Studios before this Sunday, as that is when the map itself will be done! |
|
|
Alert messages and revolution of time done. I got to experiment with RemoteFunctions making the Alert Messages, happy-face. |
|
|
If you ever need a second scripter feel free to drop me a PM.
- I did what you see there - |

Sunday is here - and that means it's time for a showcase!
Tonight you will be able to see all the scripts and GUI's that will be present in the full game. If you're not a tester already, join Kabang! Studios before the 20th tester spot is reached! |

We've finished building all of the assault rifles, all of the pistols and soon we will have finished the shotguns and SMG's. |

You say military, but you're scared every day. Doesn't sound military to me. Sounds more like an average person in their house scared after the economy collapsed. I'm getting mixed feelings because you say military, but at the same time you say they are scared which makes me think they are huddled up alone. I don't think platoons are a good idea. Anyway I say that because I'm making something similar buy not the least bit military. I've been working on it for a long time though, rarely get anything done. I started a year ago to be a zombie infection game but then I thought about how much more teamwork and factions can be involved. |

So, what you're saying is that Soldiers have the inability to feel emotion? Do you even know what the Military is?
When a US Soldier is about to head out to his / her first battle in Afghanistan, do you think they are all joyfull and giggly?
And SURELY, you arenmt referring to the empty baseplate on your profile - if that's as much as you've accomplished in a year, criticizing us isn't gonna do much for you. |

@wetrel
During a post economy collapse, or an apocalypse, people will be scared. What better way to fend off fear, other than to band together and ensure your, and a large number of the remaining population's, survival? Then again, there will be those who'll stand against human rights, taking advantage of the moment to strike, to assure their survival without a doubt, by smiting those whom have any chance of opposing. Amongst the chaos, would rise those who live to cleanse the land of evil, to ensure the survival of all whom deserve it, the most righteous of the three. I can't imagine anything that'd support these social groups' conflicts, but militarized weapons.
Now, we've started this project, as it has a very wide frontier of choices. A grappling storyline, a very diverse and never before seen genre within Roblox. We've a team of developers working on this, unlike you, wetrel. I believe that is the reason you haven't finished, among other things. If we had thought there was a better, intenser, more vivid game we could create that suits our developmental style and interests, we would have done that instead. |

My baseplate.. Why don't you enter my baseplate? |

Not only is my dad in the Air Force but I'm in the Navy JROTC at my high school. Sure, it would be scary at first but do YOU know what the military is? You have you're platoon, the men you do more than work with. They are the guys that you trust your life with and know they will complete their individualizes tasks while they trust you to handle your own tasks to function as an efficient unit. |

Ohh my baseplate.. Only a few hours ago I changed it from a grass baseplate with scripts to this clear black one to present my actual project.. |
