I'm Game - a vanilla dehacked W.I.P. punk TC in which I targeted gamers.

This project is still very much in progress, but I figured it's already big enough to warrant its own thread, instead of fighting against the relentless river that is the general picture thread... so here it is!

Somewhere in an alternate timeline, technology brought forth a grand new solution for the socioeconomic problems of today: an army of 3d-printed robotic law enforcers! Alas, the state of artificial intelligence at the time was not adequate for such a sublime task... the machines could still be controlled remotely, but hiring people to control the robots manually would render the entire cost-saving measure moot... And then, another solution was devised. One that greatly alleviated the hassle of employment, solved the financial issues, and promised to cultivate righteous mindsets in the populace on top of that.

The controls have been given to gamers.

Now everyone could help uphold the law in their spare time. The immersive entertainment of controlling a real world robot cop easily made up for the lack of usual employee benefits and considerably less reliable pay. In fact, the unreliability of the pay ended up being an encouraging factor... it only added spice to the game.

This is the story of Freddie, a rebellious local community leader who reached the top of the most wanted list with 7500 lootbox keys of reward for any remote law enforcer who catches her in the act. Her real name and identity remained unknown even as she racked up more and more counts of trespassing, theft, vandalism and worst of all, resisting arrest. As her disaster-struck little town continues to struggle on with no aid, she takes matters in her own hands and organizes a heist on a local hypermarket, stealing food on an unprecedented scale. But something goes wrong, and the cops show up earlier than expected... and so, to protect her crew and the loot, she splits off in hopes of luring the pursuers away. Surviving in this world was a matter of teamwork first and foremost, but she wasn't unprepared for some solo action.

Here's a video showcasing the new weapons in action. As you can see, it's rather outdated now, most notably the flamethrower has been replaced with a different and more unconventional weapon.

I'm Game is going to feature:

• Six new weapons, and I mean new weapons - no simple tweaks or reskins!
• Eight new enemies, some of them coming in different types varying strength and deadliness.
• 15 levels with above average realism and interactivity.
• Plenty more storyline than a typical doom mod, with NPCs you can talk to
• and all of that vanilla compatible, with nothing but Dehacked.

What I still have to do is the levels, and about half of the enemies. When am I gonna do it is anyone's guess, but I suppose if I put my mind to it, I can get it done sometime in 2019! This is my biggest and most serious doom project, and it's also the most developed. I have a few other projects I have already worked on, like the one that implements a player-controllable sentry gun in Dehacked and the ZDoom mod where you play as an imp, but I guess those might've not been unique enough to really draw me in, and so they just sit there at very early development stages. I might work on them some more, but for now I think I'm gonna focus on the one I'm the most excited about! After I finish my grandiose DMP2018 submission, that is.
