    The Last Hope For All is a FPS taking place in an infected part of the United states. TLHFA offers a variety of play modes in rich and varied scenarios with a huge amount of content.

    Story

    The new virus first appeared eight months ago. The US government had assured us that the outbreak was under control and isolated. They managed to contain the virus and moved samples to three different research laboratories in order to further study this deadly new strain. Now eight months later, the research lab in Washington has stopped responding to radio and satellite calls. My special forces squad was sent there to investigate and re-establish communications. We were hoping that it was just a radio problem ... We were completely wrong! Unfortunately this mission would surpass my worst nightmares.

    Features

    - 4 unique environment (for the moment)
    - ~20 weapons (for the moment)

    - 3 game mode

    About Steam :

    Info :
    – Steam Store page is almost done.
    – Release date is not available for now (we would want to release it at the end of March but nothing is safe).
    – About the price, for now (see lower) the price is $9.99 USD.

    Art :
    For the release of the Early Access a lot of community stuff will be available like :
    – Trading Cards
    – Badges
    – Profil background

    DevBlog #09

    Added :
    – Proof system (open page on the screen with text)
    – Grenade System
    – New weapon models for : M4 – M16 – Sniper – M1911 – Ak47
    – Windows x64 is now required for play

    Fixes :
    – Water bug (Island Map), glow effect on screen
    – Optimizing Substance Material (new weapon models)
    – A couple of little fixes (all levels)

    And now ?
    Now, we work hard on the new AI system for the Flash Back game mode (randomly levels), the scaning system works perfectly but now we need to change some things with the other AI scripts.

    What about the price ?
    For the early access release the game will contain : 1 level of the campaign, The Island map Peagasus Project and the « Police Station » Flash Back game mode.
    For the « final » release, the game will contain : 5 campaign levels, 2 maps for Peagasus Project and the Police Station.

    We rethought the campaign because we think that we shall not arrive has to plunge the player into the scenario with only 5 levels, this is why we make an « Episode 2″ with 5 more levels, 2 maps for Peagasus Project and « The Lab » for the Flash Back game mode. We hope you enjoy this news :)

    So, for the early access the price is $9.99 USD, the « Episode 2″ will be release with the « final » release, so the first week the « Episode 2″ will be an free update for the early access customers, after the first week the « final » release price will be of 16.99$ USD.

    Wow, Decon44.

    It looks like you have put a lot of time into "The Last Hope For All".

    Roadblock #2 reminds me of Resident Evil.
    I like the dark atmosphere of your outdoor scenes.

    Looking forward to your games progress.


    Also - Is That your cat in your Avatar?

    Hey Defcon - you have some very nice quality assets. Texture work looks good.
    It kind of looks like the arms on the characters are a little too long, but it might just be the render angle in the images. It looked like they were a little too long in the video above also, but it might be just the leg position of the characters.


    You might want to consider working with an American to write your story content. It doesn't make very much sense and it's instantly noticeable it's written by a non-American just by the way you reference areas and locations.

    Being a semi-literate American myself- I attempted to rewrite the piece you provided above, but it makes so little sense, I couldn't rewrite it without creating logic that isn't provided.

    Either way - if the story is an essential part of the game I'd suggest getting some assistance as soon as you can, because if gameplay plots are being created from the story - it isn't going to be well received.

    Hi Defcon, I tried translating the first paragraph into something easier to read for North American gamers.

    Here is my attempt:

    "The new virus first appeared eight months ago. The US government had assured us that the outbreak was under control and isolated. They managed to contain the virus and moved samples to three different research laboratories in order to further study this deadly new strain. Now eight months later, the research lab in Washington has stopped responding to radio and satellite calls. My special forces squad was sent there to investigate and re-establish communications. We were hoping that it was just a radio problem ... We were completely wrong! Unfortunately this mission would surpass my worst nightmares."

    If you like it, you can use it.



    Notes:

    *Americans usually refer to their own government as "US Government"

    *In terms of game stories the "Government" is often considered to be doing something nefarious and sneaky, but almost always its private companies that are really controlling everything and who are responsible for researching nasty viruses and being super evil. This this the standard tried and tested formula that works the best I think.

    *I guessed that your main character is in an elite squad or something along those lines.

    That music is wonderful. Great audio presentation. Visually it's a little slow I think, and there is still a lot of lighting work to do, but for a iterative build - it's looking good.
    Piano work is high bar stuff.

    Hello guy’s !

    Before all, we want to say thank you for you’r support (emails, comments, follows etc) you’r support motivates us in the development of The Last Hope For All !

    About Steam :

    Info :
    – Steam Store page is almost done.
    – Release date is not available for now (we would want to release it at the end of March but nothing is safe).
    – About the price, for now (see lower) the price is $9.99 USD.

    Art :

    DevBlog #09

    Added :
    – Proof system (open page on the screen with text)
    – Grenade System
    – New weapon models for : M4 – M16 – Sniper – M1911 – Ak47
    – Windows x64 is now required for play

    Fixes :
    – Water bug (Island Map), glow effect on screen
    – Optimizing Substance Material (new weapon models)
    – A couple of little fixes (all levels)

    And now ?
    Now, we work hard on the new AI system for the Flash Back game mode (randomly levels), the scaning system works perfectly but now we need to change some things with the other AI scripts.

    What about the price ?
    For the early access release the game will contain : 1 level of the campaign, The Island map Peagasus Project and the « Police Station » Flash Back game mode.
    For the « final » release, the game will contain : 5 campaign levels, 2 maps for Peagasus Project and the Police Station.

    We rethought the campaign because we think that we shall not arrive has to plunge the player into the scenario with only 5 levels, this is why we make an « Episode 2″ with 5 more levels, 2 maps for Peagasus Project and « The Lab » for the Flash Back game mode. We hope you enjoy this news :)

    So, for the early access the price is $9.99 USD, the « Episode 2″ will be release with the « final » release, so the first week the « Episode 2″ will be an free update for the early access customers, after the first week the « final » release price will be of 16.99$ USD.

    You can go HERE for check the new / old weapon models.
