Ned Kelly - Armored Outlaw Thread

G'day internet,

Where to start with explaining this one? I'm interested in history, and FPS games (this one is inspired by Outlaws), so I thought 'why not add them together?'

At the start of development I was a bit apprehensive about making the game. One person warned my that some people might get really offended if I make it. And then I thought - well if they can make movies about Ned Kelly, is it really that bad if a game is made? And you can decide not to shoot anyone in the game if one really wants too.
Anyway I did a fair bit of research, hired a programmer with the shoe string budget I have, and now the demo & alpha versions are available! Plenty of things to change & implement. Probably re-do the inventory system, better AI etc - but for now - it's enjoyable (to me anyway, and I'm odd, so don't take my word for it), some people may not like this because reloading some guns takes more then 5 seconds and I suggest watching the video about how to change the graphics settings in-game. Because if you do not choose 'Ultra' settings on the splash screen, the aspect ratio may change.

*Edit* ok, so I went to update a few things last night, and managed to get a new demo & alpha version uploaded, but then I wanted to change something simple & the computer said 'not tonight' by crashing, so the game might be out of any further updated until I can get the project back into working order.

In the new version though, you can use signal rockets to rally more supporters. This was apparently a thing that could've happened in real life, it's just that Ned did not get to set off the other ones. They are located near the Post Office, in front of a tent. When you walk into them, they are set off and the supporters will appear on the other side of the town.

Various other small fixes, ammo & weapon stacking (can't stack pistols because they can be merged into dual pistols / need to be separate items in the inventory) & underwater effects on most levels. & night time setting for the 1st level, instead of morning /day.

---------------------------

There has been a few updates to the game since the Alpha version.

Now when you get shot, there is an overlay to make it more noticeable that you've actually been hit.

Signal rockets are now available to call for backup - walk into them to set them off.

Try the demo if you are interested. And if you find the Easter egg, and you post a screen shot of it, I'll give you a key for the full version.

There are a few updates coming & hopefully - will be available on Steam in the future. The price of the game may rise as there are more features, but all purchases ensure a future copy - cross platforms & services.
