Hi Everyone,


We are officially releasing the Bounty Arms Alpha Demo to the public to play. Best played with an Xbox 360 controller.

*Update:

With the help of Splat and the hard labour of Obi-Wan, we have now got our first UDK version out. The great thing is that it's now a standalone game and it doesn't require UT3 anymore.

This demo is basically the same as the UT3 mod version, but the UDK has a more updated version of the UE3 engine. So it has real time AO, dynamic lighting on enemies etc.

We've also added a few things, like working turrets, special ability bar, damage material indicator on the player and other small various little addons and tweaks.

Name: Bounty Arms
Version: 0.1 UDK
Compatibility: PC
Web: http://www.moddb.com/games/bountyarms
Blog: http://bounty-arms.blogspot.com/


Description:

Bounty Arms is an old-school 3d side-scrolling action game that utilizes modern technology from the Unreal Engine 3.

Over the course of the final game you gather power-ups that hugely alter your character and weapon arsenal, travel across the galaxy to many different worlds, unlock hidden doors to secrets, join with new comrades, fight the multitude of varying enemies that each world will bring, and defeat the bosses that rule them.

Hope You Enjoy!

oh man. it's looking really good! Good luck with the project.

Thanks FyreWolfe. We've now started the process of moving the game over to UDK so it will be a standalone game, and not UT3 required. We hope that once this is done, more people can freely download and play it.

Freakin love the art.
The UDK move is the best, I don't have UT3 myself so I could not check it out

best of luck on this project!

Hey xyber,

Thanks for the compliments! We hope to give you a UDK version in 2 weeks or sooner, so look out for it.

If anyone wants to be more up to date with our development, check out our blog. We also plan to release some high poly zbrush model turntables and more images within the next month.

Lookin' absolutely fantastic! Great jorb!

I too will unfortunately have to wait to get my hands on it, as I don't have UT3... ;(

Can't wait, though!

*Speechless* this looks freaking great!!! Could you maybe start a tutorial on how to get started with UDK? Seeing that you look like you know UDK very well...

Thanks for the kind words

@ RaVen, the udk have some detailed video tutorials and have probably covered what you need here, and can probably explain it better than we can. They also have starting videos so it should help you out quite a bit. Hope these helps you:

UDK version still on its way. Very soon.

Thanks.. The reason I asked is because I want to get new useful content and tutorials onto SAGD. I'm currently thinking of posting a guide to get started with actionscript game programming. BTW If you could show the community behind the scenes of some of your development proccess in a Development Journal like http://www.sagamedev.com/developerjournal_post.aspx?journalid=28 it would be great!

RaVen

Hey RaVen, we did start a development diary blog here, http://bounty-arms.blogspot.com/ but I think you want something with more of a break down with some pictures and videos. We're actually in the process of also preparing the models for rotationals and the sort, so once we have that I will start a behind the scenes type of Journal so everyone can see the process in a more in depth way. This will probably take a week and a bit to get the renders out and put everything together.
