Hellbreaker just got released on Steam today:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/793620/Hellbreaker/
Basically it's like Doom 1 but focused on maximizing speed, kills, and dodging in a speedrun'ish way.
Here are some keys so you can give it a try and tell what you think about it:

We tried to make the level design achieve tight combat.
There are only projectile based ranged attacks, so all damage can be dodged while having a lot of monsters in a fight (unlike doom in which you have hitscan enemies).
By design, a level section's difficulty is increased by having more monsters attack the player from different directions, while putting him in tight places / placing obstacles in his way so the player can't just circle strafe enemies.
We also tried to do a bit of vertical level design.
This isn't generic stitched together reused rooms "level design".
Also levels have secrets, and the game comes with a level editor:

What does this game do to stand out? What does it do that hasn't been done a billion times before in the genre? It seems like this game suffers the same syndrome as every other indie game being released to today in that it just blatantly copies a much better older game while adding nothing new or interesting and expects you to pay money for it. Why the fuck would I play this game when I already have DOOM, Quake and the billions of free mods they have?

The trailer was very unimpressive. Graphically and artistically, it looks like Doom 3 without all the darkness or nice lighting. Map design looks like shit, simply filling rooms with lots of enemies, instead of creating interesting encounters.

Yeah the game doesn't have any shiny graphics, gimmicks, or skinnerbox loot, or crafting systems.
Originally this project started as "3D doom with better modding", and later it focused on creating a high skill ceiling aggressive speedrun-like experience.
New players usually can't finish a level, while experienced players sprint through them, and actively dodge projectiles they don't even see coming.
It's a fun challange.

Are the weapons just Doom's arsenal or?
acfbde No.14340546
>>14340367
Yeah
>>14340370
I've used an open source game engine that I've been contributing to, and it doesn't have all the shiny features commercial engines have.
Also this is almost 1 man project (except for level design) with near 0 budget and no artists. It isn't an AAA 60$ title with an army of devs.
>>14340435
Yeah.
First of all there's modding documentation:
https://virhex.com/docs/hellbreaker/
You can add new assets like models and sounds to the game.
There's full scripting support, you can do pretty much anything.
All weapons/pickups/monsters are implemented using scripts, and they are designed to easily allow creating new weapons/pickups/monsters. All the script-side source code is shipped with the game, so you can learn from it, edit it, and extend it.
656f61 No.14340591
Looks neat anon. I'd buy it if I had any money to spare, seems like the kind of thing I've been looking for lately.
Also admire your work as a one man programmer team as a fellow dev.

acfbde No.14340631
>>14340517
Tbh I think Dusk is a better game in many more aspects, though they focus on different things.
>>14340533
Yeah the weapons are pretty much the Doom arsenal. I was aiming for situational weapons that enhance the game design instead of gimmicky weapons:
- pistol got infinite ammo and is a fallback weapon. It's better in medium range than the shotgun because of its accuracy.
- shotgun is good at taking out 1-2 low HP enemies in a single hit
- super shotgun is good at taking out a medium HP enemies in a single hit, but it's only effective at very close range because of high spread.
- minigun is a rapid fire hitscan and it has spinup time, so you want to fire it for long sessions, so it isn't effective at picking around corners since by the time you'll spin it up you could've shot the shotgun.
- rocket launcher has a big explosion, and you can easily 1 hit kill yourself with it, so it's only suitable if you got enough distance from the enemy, and you're targeting a group of enemies/high HP enemies.
- grenade launcher fires a grenade that explodes into few smaller grenades. Since it bounces around and got medium spread, it's isn't a precision weapon and it's used to spam rooms. Breaking into smaller grenades allow to spread damage more evenly across larger area (instead of linear damage fall off from a single explosion).
- plasma gun is a projectile based rapid fire weapon so it requires a bit of leading. It's strong and safe to use, so it's usually the go-to weapon as long as you have ammo.
For gimmicky weapons and stuff - that's what the modding support is for.

scoring a medal on the first successful run is pretty good. Also strategy-wise you always want to skip the blue fatty since he got tons of HP and will only give you 1 kill, so he's a waste of time and ammo to fight.

try to manage your risk/speed, especially with rocketeer grenadier encounters - take your time to take them out if they fuck you up.
Prioritize killing squishes as you can and move fast through the level.
Try to always move to ground you didn't walk on recently, projectiles will be travelling to places you were at.

IIRC Quake 1/2 encounters had handful of enemies, and most of them were hitscan.
Hellbreaker's score system is designed to purely reflect player skill.
level completion time, kills, and damage taken are metrics that objectively and unambiguously reflect skill.
An example for a metric that isn't is something like accuracy, or ammo used, which depend on your choice of weapons and strategy (ex: preemptive shooting with the minigun to spin it up before an encounter).

Quake had lots of enemies and only a dedicated few were hitscan. You were swarmed easily and mods upped the populace to serious sam size, in some cases.

Played through a couple levels and I enjoyed the game a lot more than I thought. Definitely feels more like a 'mod' than a standalone game. The Doom inspiration is pretty much palpable. The design of the levels seem linear but always leave with the impression that there's something to discover. No wonder, when I beat the first level I found no secrets, so I was compelled to poke around a little harder. I suck at finding secrets anyway, but still. Weapons feel good to use and the levels feel sprawling; you have a lot of freedom and space to move around, like the whole place is really a playground. When you fight enemies it really feels like the stage has been set for you. You, them, nothing else except geometry getting in the way. Enemy variety could see a little improvement, since most of them don't seem like a threat considering the most basic one just wanders towards your general direction, and then another, beefier kind does basically the same thing (the blueish demons with spiked stumps for hands thought they were like mancubi for a second). Movements seems a bit floaty too, and the view bobbing takes some getting used to. It was nice, overall. I'll definitely get back to it to play the rest and maybe get a gold or two. This anon has talent.

I've been looking to develop a similar game myself but know jack shit about programming but a few people have said I'm decent at making Doom wads.

I like how easy it is, but creating dummy sectors for floors on top of floors gets tiresome to organize and it just kills my motivation for mapmaking.

My level editor is similar to Valve's Hammer editor.
It's designed to be simple and easy to learn (about 5 minutes to to make your first level), you just need to drag boxes, hit enter, select textures, and place entities.
Documentation for how to use it is available here:

If you got weak CPU/GPU it could be related.
Try lowering graphics settings to minimum and see if it happens (especially shadows and texture quality).

I'd like to add another couple of little grammatical nitpicks:
>Hellbreaker is a fast-paced first person shooter that will pit you against hordes of monsters and push you to your limits. Blast your way through blood thirsty monsters while racing against the clock to finish the level in one piece.
It's redundant to put the same key word twice so close to each other, let alone in the next sentence. Since you've already used up "hordes" I suggest you replace the second "monsters" with masses or the first "hordes" with swarms "mobs" just doesn't sound right.
>The scoring system in the game revolves around:
>Time to finish the level
Time taken to finish a level
>There's no reloads or recoil to slow down the action.
There are no reloads or recoil to slow down the action. while I think there're is grammatically correct, autocorrect doesn't agree with me and there're very few written instances where you'd find an example of this contraction

I would suggest putting "Time taken to finish" in angle quotes or quotation marks, same goes for the next two paragraphs. Get rid of that oxford comma since you're not exactly listing a long list of things here, just two reasons to GO FAST.
>Strategies can be created around it, like prioritizing low HP monsters to get more kills, which is risk/reward decision because low HP monsters are usually low threat while high HP monsters like rocketeers and chargers are higher threat so it's better to spend time to kill them first to stay safe.
that is one long ass sentence, which I'm sure you've busted your head open trying to make it look comprehensive. Now I'll offer you two options: break up into 2 or 3 shorter sentences or try to cut the fat and use just one.
Option 1:
<Prioritizing low HP monsters will net more kills faster, but leave one open to high damaging mobs longer. On the other hand, eliminating high HP monsters will increase players' chances of survival at the cost of time spent playing a level. Create strategies that suit your play-style. or use an exclamation point (!) at the risk of sounding hacky-wacky
Option 2:
<Strategies can be created around this, motivating players to consider different risk/reward play-styles. hate typing playstyles through a dash
>The damage taken constraint comes in to prevent you from just being reckless and soaking up tons of damage while picking up lots of health kits.
>Game editor, easily edit things like monsters and pickups without writing code.
<Game editor lets players easily edit some aspects of the game like monsters and pickups without writing code.
or
<Game editor. Easily edit some aspects of the game like monsters and pickups without writing code.
I suggest the second option since you've already gone ahead and used that kind of formatting for your third point on "Powerful scripting".

I used to run the game on an i5-2400 and GTX670 at 120-180 FPS, so your hardware should be good enough.
The freezes are triggered by something specific?
If you got good framerate if occasional short "random" freezes when you move around that could mean that you've ran out of GPU memory for the game (lowering texture quality will greatly reduce memory usage).
Maybe you got stuff running in the background that take up a lot of CPU/GPU memory?
If you got consistently low FPS, shadows are expensive and u can lower/disable them.
Other than that you can try to make sure your graphic drivers are up to date.
Also you can press F2 in-game to see the profiler, it will list where the game frame spends its time and how much memory is used for game resources.

I considered this the most likely cause, but I also have to take in consideration that I've run much more demanding games with just as much running in the background with no issue.

There's enemy flinch (enemy AI is almost identical to Doom 1).
There are 8 enemy types.
Regarding modding:
Most of the models are licensed and I'm not allowed to provide their original source files.
You could easily implement limb gibs by using generic gib models (stuff like meat chunks, not the actual parts of the monster model).
You could just look at the script code for where blood droplets are spawned and spawn your gib prefab too, or maybe spawn them for rig bones or something (up to you).
For weapon animations I'm allowed to share the hands model, so you'll be able to animate the rig in tools like Blender, tho I need to check which weapon models I'm allowed to share (for your own weapon models it isn't a problem).

Probably the animations then.

I dream of actual limbgibs like Left 4 Dead. Sounds difficult tho.

Mods will fix it ;^)
But seriously, why so many prefab assets?

Game was mostly made by me (programmer) and a level designer.
We didn't have a 3D artist so I just bought models.

A buncha questions.
>does this have a Linux version?

>will you release source code at some point?
I'm mainly interested in source code 'cause I've been working on a uni assignment in Urho3D for the past months, wanted to see the insides of a finished game.
Either way, God speed, anon, you're an inspiration to us all.

I would buy from itch.io but it doesn't seem to be working. Good luck OP.

Holy shit, everything in the trailer looks like babby's first level. Just throw 50 of an enemy type everywhere and call it a day. Projectile hell.

>does this have a Linux version?
Currently no because when I originally tried using Urho3D on a VM, the VM didn't have good enough OpenGL support. Recently I tested again and it seems like it does have the needed OpenGL support. It's still unlikely that I'll work on it.
>does this have multiplayer?
No multiplayer, the game was designed for single player.
I did work on a netcode library for Urho3D, it's kinda barebone implementation:
https://github.com/Enhex/Urho3D-CSP
(it doesn't work with the physics simulation for now because that requires replay of the whole physics world and I didn't implement it yet)
>will you release source code at some point?
Probably in the future, but not anytime soon. Note that the script source code is shipped with the game.
There's some general code that I want to contribute to Urho3D anyway like the settings logic and couple of GUI features, but I always have higher priority things to work on.

The game could really use some more Steam tags, since they'll make finding your game much easier.

here's an easy improvement you can make: change the monster projectiles. "puffy" bloomy projectiles are hard to see, and you cant tell the depth or number well.

Now I want to see OP to make a Hellbreaker Gal Story Mode DLC to fuck with people.
Hellbreaker Gal should just be a skin change, which the player will never see since its a FPS and the Story Mode is just the normal Hellbreaker Levels in reverse.

Not a one. Not even the gatling gun scorpion guys.

I remember serious sam 3 being hitscan hell half the time but they dealt low damage, keeping the og doom tradition, but fucked it up with red gory screen every time you get touched by a stray bullet, But I thought the scorpions were delayed hitscan, as long as you were moving into a wall, you're safe.

I call bullshit on that. Even if that was technically true it doesn't matter whether the bullet speed is actually infinite or finite but with such a high value the effect is the same. You can not dodge them at any range. At very long ranges they occasionally missed due to accuracy.

Looks neat, but the weapons and movement feel a bit floaty. Needs more tactile impact.

>There are only projectile based ranged attacks, so all damage can be dodged while having a lot of monsters in a fight (unlike doom in which you have hitscan enemies).
Sounds like Marathon, which relied even more strongly on Doom's monster infighting to create an odd danmaku feeling.

The game is too dark for me and I'd rather have the option to fix that in game. I was seriously considering refunding the game because I couldn't see some enemies but turning up brightness isn't that much of a hassle so I decided not to. Still it's fucking annoying.

I meant turning it up in the graphic card driver's settings.

Just loaded the first level using Steam Workshop.
Still need to add support for general mods.
I think I'll do an update once I'm done with it, and add other stuff in the next update.
