NOTE: THE DEMOS HERE ARE OUT OF DATE and will no longer be updated. Black Ice is still in development, but these are only here as an archive of early work. Black Ice is a Hack and Shoot - a cyberpunk first person shooter / hack and slash rpg about hacking. Think Borderlands meets Tron. The cyber-world is procedurally generated, the colors are neon, the loot is randomized, and the lasers are loud. Black Ice is in Beta - you can try the demo right here!
Buffs are coming!
Fire in the cyberspace? Well, I don't know.
I hear that, but it's too awesome to not do. Also, "The matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games," so I can justify anything that has been in a game as the AI experimenting with whatever code it can find. Also note that this fire effect is temporary and will likely look more digital later.
