a short fps that rips off deus ex and blade runner and many other things:

I really enjoyed that! Not at all what I expected.

This was fun, recommended it to some friends. Game was a bit scary, for me. I ended up shooting the guy in the head and playing the piano, should've explored that room first and probably not have been a jerk.

Thanks. It got a bit of attention on RPS and indiegames.com, which is cool.

Some guy named Nerdcubed who is apparently very e-famous also featured my game in one of his videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=EmbWMQbuMcc#t=261s . His video generated more traffic than RPS and indiegames.com combined x 3.

fucking slick and sexy and spooky, really good stuff. great use of environmental storytelling and suspense.

anything more planned in this vein re: story or mechanics?

[allen]

Nothing planned but if I were ever to come back to this I would have multiple missions for the player to do. So you would be at your office, and you would have a list of targets to assassinate.

I was thinking one could be set in a large city, where you would have to do actual detective work. Talk to people and look for clues and then infiltrate their apartment, etc. Maybe have a chase scene like when Deckard runs down that one Cyborg in Blade Runner. I loved that scene.

Another fun idea was a SpyParty type deal. Give the player a sniper rifle and set them up on a building overlooking a party watching to see if you can spot the cyborg amongst them. That one would be tricky, but it's just an idea.

Would be fun to do these but I won't do that now, I have other things I want to make. But I might return to the idea later.
