So I think it's about time I start making an appearance in the community.

A friend and I will begin the development of a side-scroller game in tribute to the fantastic game Warhammer: Dawn of War. We'll be telling the story of a lone Space Marine shot out of trajectory on an infested planet and his path to glory(or death).

It's all very early still. My friend will be doing all the art(he's still working on some sketches and ideas), while I will be handling the programming side of things. So far the engine is coming along nicely. When it's done, we hope that it will include:

- Parallax scrolling (both background and foreground).
- Interactive environment( cover, destruction, etc).
- Bullet perforation system(a la COD 4?)
- Overview map
- MAYBE user submitted levels.
- Level system
- Dynamic Armor(Pieces break off, worn armor is viewable, etc)
- Lots of weapons(not only human, maybe some ancient ;))
- Daytime / night time.

etc..

We're still working on the story and etc., but I think this will work out great. :)
