Tomb

by Jelleye

Tomb is a 3D survival game, from a first person shooter perspective.

Story----
You are an archeologist who has been sent to mid-Egypt, to investigate an old tomb that has recently been discovered. As people expected great treasures to be scattered all across the tomb, they sent a professional like you in to gather them. However, as soon as you enter the the stone walls seamlessly slide in place, blocking any possible exit. You know there is no way out, but atleast you can try suriving as long as possible...

Graphics----
All graphics in this game are in 3D, by using the billboard technique. Our goal was to mimic the looks of the popular game "Doom". Therefore, we also added an option to set the resolution to 'low-res' which makes the game look exactly like "Doom". The environment will randomly change in a minor way, every time you visit it (although you may not notice, as all hieroglyphs resemble a lot xD). Animations and clever 3D special effects were also added to make everything seem nicer. All sprites and textures themselves were created by a professional spriter who is a spriter as a job. (pixelbab.com). Added to this is some nice lighting, and full 3D environments. We hope this all makes for a great graphical experience. (All graphics are customly made, none are from other games)

Sound----
All background music in this game was customly made by me, though, it's more like atmosphere music, rather than real music. The sound effects were taken from various sources. We did try to get the best quality samples, whereever possible. In-game, all sound is faked surround (stereo and volume, depending on 3D positions). So even if you don't have surround, you can enjoy being chased by skelletons in its full glory.

Gameplay----
The game features a variety of enemies, each witht heir of characteristics. All enemies will come at you in "waves". One wave consists out of several enemies. When all are killed, the next wave will come. Every 4 waves, you'll be supplied with health. Ammo is constantly available. In the game, you will first need to survive 5 waves in training mode, before you'll be allowed to go in the real dungeon. The game is unlimited in length, but has a progressive difficulty (from real easy, to nearly impossible). As for the controls, they are really intuitive: Arrow keys to walk, and space to shoot (reloading is automatically done).

Notes----
Because I had problems accessing the Yoyogames website, I only notcied this contest 4 days ago. So, as you can see, we really worked har don completing this, and we only just finished the game. Though, we had wanted to add more cool features, like online highscores, multiplayer, more enemies, more levels, ... So, don't be surprised if you see an updated version in teh future. But this is really the best we could make in 4 days. That's about it... so, have fun!
