In the last 2 days I made the game's resources from realm667 stuff. I used mostly realm667 stuff for this, thanks to the brilliant person who uploaded the Undying texture set in the Doom Format there. I then found weapons that fit the theme I had planned for it, made a scripting library for various features and such and assembled the game last night, and tweaked it today. The game features realm667 stuff but also features modifed realm667 stuff such as recreations of original undying enemies with spritework from realm667 stuff.. It also features a creepy soundtrack I downloaded from royaltee free music sites.
The games story takes place in England and Ireland in 1973. You play as Patrick Galloway's Grandson, John Esther Galloway, who is investigating his grandfathers disappearance in 1929. At the same time, an insane "cult of evil" invades London and Ireland, and they are summoning creatures that are very similar to the ones Patrick Galloway fought in 1927 in the original undying. Throughout the game you go around London, Dublin and finally Ireland's countryside fighting undead and cultists, and try to unravel what happened to patrick. But what you don't realize is that the Undying King was not defeated by Patrick and awakens in you, resulting in horrifying visions and voices that show up... And the Undying king reveals that Patrick's Soul was Possessed by him after their battle at the end of Undying. It's up to you to stop the undying king.
This leads into the horror elements of the game. Besides the creepy soundtrack there are also two other things that show up.
1) Undying King Tormenting you with Gibberish! - He speaks pure gibberish at many times in the game when you least expect it... Since the story of the game is in text only (due to time constraints), I was able to do this quite nicely. It shows the Insanity of the Undying King
2) Youtube style Screamers. Yes the undying king will try to scare the shit out of you and he does this with random scary images+screams that pop up at random times. These got me several times and scared the crap out of me. The screams are quite loud and the images are fucking messed up looking such as stuff like this:
The game features a lot of the enemies from the original undying including Howlers, Skarrows, Monto-Shonoi's (both lesser and greater) and those super annoying plants.. They have all been redesigned though, so don't expect the same exact enemy from undying. Howlers are more canine now being the most major change.. Skarrows look like grey Cthulhu's with legs and don't have snake legs. Monto shonoi have no arms now. And the plants look a lot different. Complementing them are tons of new enemies as well.
The weapons in the game are quite good. 2 guns from Undying Returns (The Revolver and Shotgun)
Complementing them are new guns such as a Flamethrower, AK47, A non Revolver Pistol, A flare gun, An Automatic Shotgun, a second auto shotgun, a M60, a Quad Shotgun and even a Flak Cannon. One change that is important to note, is that no spells are in the game. You are not a spellcaster like in the original game so It made no sense to bring spells back...
The game is being worked on currently. I did some changes recently to it. But it's mostly done. The levels are all Randoom Generated, and they have Undying Textures in them. The feeling of the game is quite creepy... It is one of the scariest things I've ever seen in the doom engine...
Here is screenshots of the game:
And here is the new release trailer:
