ABOUT
We are big fans of Ghost in the Shell and all other media that took heavy inspiration from it such as The Matrix. We really like the 90s - 00s style of thinking, design and storytelling.
With that, we've taken part in the 7 Day FPS Game Jam and this is the result of what we've made in the past 7+ days.
ORIGINALITY
I'm sad to say, that we weren't able to produce much of original 3D art. To be fully transparent the mech is the only 3D model done by the team. Although, its design is the most intriguing.
But i hope where we lack in visual uniqueness, we can and are able to keep up with the music. Alex, the author of OST for the Renegade Squad, has fallen in love with the sci-fi universe of GIST and made the most incredible music track for this game jam! Here's the mastered theme song:
WHAT'S NEXT?
This game jam submission is our first step into creating a Ghost in the Shell inspired gaming experience. Our game doesn't want to resample "classic" cyberpunk. In a sense where the anime esthetics very simplify majority of the visual fidelity and rather set the theme atmosphere to "draw" the rest of the scene. A very good example is the mech design and something similar to toon shading (this is very visible in GIST SAC series).
HOW TO PLAY
One unique aspect is that you can strafe to gain speed. It's simpler the traverse the level while strafing (#QuakeStyle). We encourage you of using the 'E' key to "Super Jump" and run away from complicated situations. Other than that, pistol can one-shot headshot enemy soldiers. SMG is better for.. run for your life.. kind of situations.
