Welcome to www.entombed.co.uk

I am attempting to write a 'classic' dungeon master style RPG using Direct X9. I am not a game developer, this is just a hobby. This project started on 20 Feb 2004 (on and off since then).



ENTOMBED ALPHA DEMO RELEASED - 3rd March 2007


Well here we go, please download the first alpha demo of Entombed. There are 3 levels to test and you can get support by emailing me on dm@entombed.co.uk.
Its a free large file sharing site, so its not perfect.

ABOUT THE DEMO - THIS IS *NOT* A FINISHED GAME. THE AIM OF THE DEMO IS TO GET INITIAL THOUGHTS, PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK AND BUG REPORTS. THERE IS STILL A FAIR BIT LEFT TO DO ON THE GAME, BUT THERE IS ENOUGH FOR AN ALPHA DEMO.

IMPORTANT : Please ensure you have the latest DirectX 9 drivers, Microsoft .Net 1.1 and Ageia PhysX drivers installed before trying to run the demo.

The project is moving forward now, I have just managed to get the collision detection working for the skinned creatures meshes. I never ever want to do that again ... very difficult. I am now looking into the dungeon items and players, so the body of the game can start to come alive.

Video & Images - Collision on skinned mesh and items in character sheets



Movies - 29th December 2006 *** UPDATED

New interface design.

New vs/ps for walls, improved brick work with relief/parrallax occulsion mapping. If you compare the the screens below with earlier posts the bricks are much more convincing with the same number of vertices.

I have now incorporated a rigid body physics engine into the game, here are 3 new screenshots to give you an idea. Just need to replace the boxes and spheres with swords, armour, helmets, etc.

Bit of a break from coding this game due to setting up my own business. Well its back on and as you can see I now have some creatures walking around. There is also a new water effect which I will post up about in the near future.

Finished refracting water effect (inspired by FarCry's but not as good). Big shout to cowsmanaut and linflas from dungeon-master.com for the portrait graphics.

Layered fog added. Optimisations to ps, vs and textures (dropped to 16 bit from 32bit, halved the size of bump maps) allow for larger draw distances.
