Working title: Vigilante/Exterminator
I always loved this poster.
The goal:
- Tribute to the 80s vigilante movies like Death Wish series and Exterminator 1/2. I'd love to create such an atmosphere maybe using a specific palette?
- To create an 80s/ early 90s action movies feel like. I've already started to rip movie like gun sounds and remastering them, adding more bass ect. (for eg. Dirty Harry series Magnum sound, the awesome ak47 80s/90s sound - I always loved that sound it's so badass, and many others)
Construction/ideas:
The first idea is to continue Exterminator 2 story about John Eastland - a man they pushed too far. Then again I think It'll be easier to create totally unknown person (Charles Bronson/Robert Ginty mix) and let him have his own story.

The game will have chapters - 6 chapters in all - 3/4 levels per chapter. First half of the game will take place in New York and the second half in LA.
It'll feature classic 80s movie soundtrack (some tracks directly from Death wish series and some from other 80s movies like Exterminator2/Revenge of the Ninja/Navy Seals ect.
I'm also thinking about recording some dialogs - or just one-liners like Duke or Caleb(Blood) had .(but that will come later)
And yes this whole project is going to look like Build engine game with Zdoom special features (I love how Zblood looks and I'd love to bring some of it's look to my project)
- destructive environment (breakable windows/ and others like in DN3d/Blood/SW.)
Some levels will take place at night and some at day time.
I have lots of ideas for specific levels like
- warehouse where the mob meeting is taking place
- park (something similar to Death Wish 2 park shootout and more)
- subway (first underground on foot then travel by subway car)
- some dark alleys /rooftops (this mod will feature lot's of dark passageways)
- mall
- whorehouse
- cinema
- chinatown
and others.
This is just a test map. I wanted to know how to create a breakable glass. Now I know.
I need help with weapon and enemy sprites. I'm not a sprite artist If someone would like to join the project then I'd be very grateful.
As you can see It's a very ambitious project. Together we can make it happen.
Here's what I/we will need
- weapon sprites (Ingram Mac10, ak47, dirty harry's magnum44, pistol - the one that Bronson was carrying I'm not exactly sure what's the name, machine gun - (remember the final shootout in RAW DEAL?).
- enemy sprites (different types of street punks - just watch some Death Wish 2 or 3 scenes to find out how should they look some of them will carry a pistol and some of them ak47,
- black/brown suit mafia thugs with Wayfarer sunglasses usually with MAC10's.
- motorcycle thug (when you'll shoot this guy his motorcycle will go boom).
More to come.
About the textures - I think that most of Kingpin textures will work. Also some Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem textures. But I'll need to find some specific textures to match the 80s/ early 90s atmosphere.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SPRITE AND TEXTURE ARTISTS. MAPPERS ARE ALSO WELCOME.
