METROPIXEL is a bleak futuristic and technologically related crime ridden city. A future where artificially intelligent beings called Neural-Matons or Neurals for short now live side by side with humans...well sort of.... Neurals are slaves and most Neurals contribute largely to industrial work that is too dangerous and strenous for humans to under take. But many Neurals are going rogue and escaping from the slave work force. There seems to be a connection between the increasing crime rate of the city and the rogue Neurals. But it is not entirely understood why Neurals are fleeing from slavery and what the connection is between Neurals and the increase in crime. There is also many technological related crimes specifically stemming from the technological black market and the illegal trading of bio-technology. The player as Agent Dreck will be tasked with eliminating various high profile criminal figures and discovering the cause of the increase in crime and its connection to rogue Neurals.

Some examples of game play elements:
Platforming (ex. running and jumping on city building rooftops in pursuit of enemies)
Shooter/Action (ex. various weapon types, upgrades for weapons and bio-technology(ability to jump further etc..)
Investigation (ex. looking for clues in crime scenes/interacting with NPC's for information and so on.)

Hope Metropixel grabs at least a few people's attention out there and hope people check back for updates which will be coming soon!

Thanks!

First News Update!

News

First news post hooray!

METROPIXEL is a future noir game that is kinda 8 bit looking but its not quite 8 bit.. but.. the retro feel of the art is there... As I go with the current trend.. er.. the game is inspired heavily by Blade Runner/Metropolis etc... and it is a bit cyberpunk'ish..

Metropixel development stage is quite early but slowly but surely making progress. As of right now I am the only person developing it but will be searching for an additional programmer once more progress is made in different areas. The game will be released on pc and xbox indie marketplace when its done.

I wanted to make a game that is a bit simple as far as what the art style looks like which i think will help not only make development quicker/easier but also gives it a cool stylized feel that supports the game environment and story. As far as the game play its basically a sidescroller platformer with elements of shooting/jumping/detective work/with upgrades for weapons and upgrades for stuff like jumping farther & running faster. There will be some jokes mixed in spoofing various movies etc..

I will be adding some art periodically as well as saving some stuff for these news updates. I am hoping at least some people will be eventually interested in Metropixel since as of now.. not one person tracking =(.. but kinda understandable since as of now its not looking all that impressive but over time I hope that will change. I am basically trying to make a game that is not too ambitious but not too simple either since that seems to be a major cause for either a game not being developed or a game that is so simple nobody cares about it.

So thats the first news update!

Before I get voted down, I searched for **** because I was looking for a detective/mystery game and that was my last tag I was going to use.

haha.. dont worry about the whole **** thing.. wonder why it came up in a search! haha.... progress has pretty much grinded to a halt since i don't program c# and the programmer quit since he got a job in the game design field.. so i have been working on my own project in udk.. since kismet is something i can handle better than c#.
