Cold Vengeance is a 3d Run 'n' Gun game. It's a sequel to
Venusian Vengeance (
Available on Steam).
UPDATE:
Early Alpha Demo (Note: This demo is really out of date, and a lot of things have changed mechanically since then)
PlotIn the year
200X, the National Hell party took rose to power in the Great White North. Their leader, Arnold Camp, declared himself Supreme Minister. He disbanded the mounties, and put the country under military control. Four months later, we lost contact with Alaska. Rumors spread that National Hell had made an under-the-table alliance with the mysterious Ninja Empire.
The president traveled north personally to negotiate with The Supreme Minister. However, he was detained in Canada, while National Hell launched a nuclear onslaught on all major America cities. Canadian soldiers, members of the Ninja Empire, and an army of robots led by the Four Heads of the Canadian Military began swarming over the border to clean up the scraps.
Jon Dagger, hero of the Venus Incident, has been called out of retirement. Along with deceased soviet scientist who uploaded his consciousness into Dagger’s brain, he will have to fight through the ruins of America to the Great White North in order to defeat Supreme Minister Camp. On the way, he will fight enemy soldiers, giant robots, ninjas, post-apocalyptic barbarians, and mind-controlled gorillas.
GameplayMy goal is to make something somewhere in between a third-person shooter and a Sin and Punishment style rail-shooter. Levels will also have secrets and alternate paths to find.
There is also a powerup system influenced by SHMUPs (with a little Gunstar Heroes thrown in). You can hold two powerup types at once, and they each can be leveled up by grabbing more powerups of the same type.
VisualsI'm going for a colorful low-poly aesthetic. Something reminiscent of the Nintendo 64/PS1 generation.
The game's concept art is being created by my good friend
Ben Evans.
