EP's new project: TFBC

here's the long waited (what? 3 minutes is long for me) backstory of the game: The Fight Before Christmas:

Back story of the game world: It was December 15, 3020 and you and your college buddy,Mark and Tyler, were out partying when Tyler sees a shiny piece of what seems to be paper on the ground. You read the paper out loud, "Expecto Teleportus". Suddenly everything turns black and you and your friend are pulled into another dimension. It is here, that both of you must fight your way through monsters and the flames of hell. Will you find your way back to your world before it's too late? (you can choose your character)

Hero/Heroes origin, powers, and weapons:
"Mark": He was always a city boy. Mark was born in the most populated part of New York City and grew up in the same area. He never felt lonely, he was always the popular kid at school. When he graduated high school, he got an offer to go to the University of Miami where he plays for the football team. During a football game against Georgia State, he injured his collarbone and spent a week in the hospital. He has powers noone among his friends understands, such as: flight, teleportation and the ability to withstand a lot of pain. He always carries his trusty 2X4 and can also operate rifles, machine guns and pistols.
"Tyler": Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, his dream was to go to college. Now he has that chance. Tyler got accepted to the University of Miami and met Mark on his first day. They were friends from the start. Unlike Mark, Tyler has a deep secret; however like Mark, it's his powers. Tyler can levitate objects, has an IQ of 400 and can call the spirits of passed family/friends. He is average when it comes to firearms; he can hold a pistol and fire well, but hand him a machine gun, he's a lousy shot.

Villian/Enemies abilities, motives, and accomplishments:
Basher: Most common enemy in the game. They love to hold clubs, bats and anything else they can grab. They're not that fast, but they love to attack in swarms of 3 or more. They only love one thing: killing, do your best to try to stop them.
Rammer: You'll encounter your first Rammer in level 3. They're invinceable to almost everything (Make sure you grab that rocket launcher when the level starts). They attack in groups of 2, sometimes 3, and ram you into walls and other objects.
Zombie: The living undead comes, what will you do? Here's a hint: don't let them get close. They are the slowest in the game, but they also attack in swarms of 15+. You'll start seeing them when you get close to the fire part of the game. They love to feast on brains and will not stop until they get what they want. It's easy to kill them, but it's only temporary. When one dies, 2 more spawn. They spawn in random places in the level, so be prepared.
Bats: They're not ordinary bats, Dr. Grimm genitally modified them to kill humans. They want blood, and there's no stopping them once they locate you. They're very small, but easily seen (look for bright yellow in dark caves). Your best bet is to sneak behind them and take them out at a distance.
Dr. Grimm: Just another mad scientist, he loves to tamper with genetics. His goal in his mind is to genitally modify our world. He will do anything to beat you, and he will. When you reach him, he will abduct Tyler and you must fight Tyler before you can fight The Doctor. He is the reason Rome fell in history, and he wants to destory everything this time.

Overall conflict that is happening:
Mark and Tyler must find their way back home after being pulled into another dimention. Along the way, they meet alot of weird characters and start to fight about who they should trust. When they split up, you are left to fend for yourself. When your character reaches the final level, he is confronted by his "friend" (the one you didn't choose) and they must fight. When you finish the game, a portal opens and it seems you are home.

Mission objectives for levels:
Find a teleport flag hidden somewhere in the level.

Controls:
This game would be controlled by the mouse and keyboard. layout below:
arrow keys: move/sidestep (depends on setting in options menu)
move mouse: look around
left mouse button: fire weapon/use power
mouse wheel: select weapon/power
right mouse button: when in clear area: examines area in front of you
right mouse button: when in an area with enemies: shows enemy data (strengths, weaknesses etc.)

it'll be done by june 09 (if all goes well), but it may not since it's now a 1 man show. IT WILL NOT RELEASE ANY LATER THAN OCTOBER!
