WORK IN PROGRESS
PHYTONOZ is a post-apocalyptic retro FPS currently in development.
It's powered by Little Angine by Little Angel, a modest little engine that does the job, programmed with Game Maker Studio 1.4.9999.
The game is being developed entirely by a single person.
Its features are :
- Global Illumination rendering (Radiosity + shadows)
- 3D collision of simple geometric shapes
- Terrain management
- Hitscan or non-hitscan weapons
- Enemies displayed as sprites
- AI that's not too stupid
- Crowd management
- Lightwave 3D format for editing levels
- Management of a scripted timeline
- Blood and wall impacts
- MIP mapping
- Lots more...
The level editor is Lightwave 3D, one of the first computer graphics software packages, which is a little forgotten today, and which has the particularity of having a separate Modeler and Scene editor.
Everything is modelled and textured under the Modeler. Level editing is carried out via the Scene editor (Layout), as is the export of all information relating to terrain, collisions and scene lighting. The software's practical format saves datas in text format. There are then several proprietary scripts retrieve the informations in a format optimised for Game Maker Studio.

F.A.QsIs Abha "Light on the Path" intended for other media than PC ?
For the moment only the PC version. Maybe a Mac version in the future.
How many people worked on the game ?
Little Angel is a very small independent studio, two people worked on the game,
but most of it was done by only one people.
The development period was 3 years but not full-time.
What was the motivation for creating this game ?
In the past, the studio had more members.
We had set up a project on this theme, but it was too ambitious to see the light of day.
Years later, the game market has evolved a lot, and the craze for the point-and-click has
returned, it was possible to develop independent "little games" and sell them on different
platforms (such as Steam).
As the video game audience became more mature, and interested in both content and form,
it was possible to create something interesting with limited resources.
We are not video game professionals, just enthusiasts, for whom the game is just a support
to express ideas, and not a goal in itself.
What was the source of inspiration for this game ?
For the form, all the point-and-click that rocked our childhood (LucasArt, Sierra).
For the background, the theme of death. This game is strongly theosophical in inspiration,
but deliberately expressed discreetly.
You can play very well by enjoying the atmosphere, quests and mini games,
and consider the background as secondary. It is a deliberately "sober" and "silent" game.
It was essential not to be talkative to let the player connect himself to the mystery.
Any other projects ?
Yes, many other projects in the drawers that only depend on time.
Since video games are not our business, we have no resources, only the love of creating
carries us. So, be patient!
