@Pineapple - enemies are going to be clear to see, with the use of red. In terms of enemies, im looking at more giger skull imagery.

These are some 3d concepts I did a while ago and I want to do some more with better reference.

This just keeps getting better and I love the new name!

[Jamie_D]

Did some more VFX and I really need to start designing better enemies!

[SolS]

This game is looking really cool! Great art style

[laxwolf]

That's some heavy af atmosphere, love it.

Not a fan of the chaotic gun movement though, I imagine if you are a professional HELLCLEANER, you'd handle your guns with the utmost control. A little kickback at most.

@laxwolf

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, it does feel a little too much. Once I get some gun artwork and attributes done, I will tweak that kind of stuff so each gun has its own flavour.

This is beautiful. I am also working on a retro FPS, but regardless I love this type of work. Following!

[Xonatron]

Mirror camera! What an incredible idea for an FPS!!

[Frappa Studio]

Awesome ! I don't know how much pixel-glitch is due to the GIF or graphical tuning but it looks amazing like this, and very modern !

Movement already looks good (that feel is hard to get down). Pointless columns. Center oriented weapons. This is exactly what I want in an FPS. All you need now is Sandy Petersen.

Keep it up. You are doing gods work.

I will say though. I'm not a fan of the mirror cam. But I'm a purist so don't mind me

[Jamie_D]

It has been a while since I worked on this (between game jams and work!) but I finally got an early version of an enemy done.

[Pineapple]

oh hey it's a lost soul 

[Jamie_D]

I worked on some VFX today, just polishing up some bits and pieces.
Im keen to get working on some environment stuff next.

[Nate_G]

Yessssss. This is looking fucking great man.

[Jamie_D]

I decided that I wanted more colour in Hellscreen so I played around with the sky and rain colour.

[Xonatron]

I am loving this game. So much like what I want to make/play.

[Jamie_D]

Thanks Xonatron!

I  photobashed concept for a blade runner style hand cannon.
I looking at having giger style adaptations of various known weapon archtypes.

[Jamie_D]

I did a first pass on the weapon concept I did. I want to get better poly distribution but the form is mostly there.

[quantumpotato]

Looking nice. What kind of strategies are you wanting the player to employ to win?

Eg. in DD you can exploit the skulls flocking behavior to get big group kills

[Jamie_D]

Thanks Quantumpotato! That is a good question. At the moment, Im thinking more of enemies in terms of making them interesting to fight and a lot of this comes from Dooms method of making the player move in diferent ways.

The demonheads make the player move backward. I will have an enemy which is slower which spits out fireballs to encourage side stepping. I will keep adding these play cangers till it is super fun.

I also want to vary up gameplay with different weapons too. I want a couple of troupe weapons but I also want to try some new ones which im cooking up in my head. I like to think of each weapon as toys - everyone should feel different.

Getting back to the part about strategies - as the player aquires upgrades , i expect that to help the player come up with different ways to tackle situations - i.e the double jump will let players get out of tight corners but also may be tricky when flying enemies are introduced.
