Phosphor Games Studio have released a new video (which you can see below) showcasing the type of creative capabilities they will offer with their upcoming game, Awakened.
In the Modding Demo, you will see a variety of worlds that use a uniquely created player, uniquely modded enemy types, and uniquely modded worlds, including:
A “Sci-Fi Universe” that includes a Halo-esque look and Master Chief-like character);
A “Metaverse” with a Tron like digital look and Space Invaders-like projectiles;
A “Fantasy” world with a sort of Zelda meets Dark Souls look;
A “Furry” mod, where a player went around attacking enemies in a sort of Saints Row the Third-like panda costume;
A “Military” world with a very gritty approach approach;
A weird “?????” world with a sort of freakish Mario feel to it;
A world full of “Rapid Prototype Zombes” (who weren’t really all that “rapid” at all);
And a world with “Historical Japanese Battles” (I’m not sure which battle had a giant turret-mounted crab in it, but I certainly more interested in history now).
There were a lot of behind the scenes technical issues, so this week’s Morning Wood is the patched version after bugs were found in the original filming of episode 2 (ie. all of the files were deleted and I had to scramble late Friday night to film, edit, encode, upload and publish). This Morning Wood is longer, stronger, and comes with a giveaway and a very special guest. Watch to witness new features like ‘Sebastian Asks’ and a possible vocal cameo by a certain green muppet.
Jim Sterling writing for Game Front: "One of the best parts of having a little soapbox is that it can be used to help those games that really need it. While I spend a lot of my time talking about big games like Call of Duty and Uncharted, the real joy for me is working out the games few people are talking about, and focusing on them in a bid to get a couple more tongues wagging. In many ways, it makes me no different from the common shill that most of my ilk are accused of being, but it’s apparently okay to be a shill provided you’re acting as the mouthpiece of the underdog. If it’s got a small budget and is being made by a studio that nobody’s heard of, acting as an unpaid advertiser is considered a noble cause. I am happy with that, because it means I get to do something I love."
