[wip] Zero Winter: Anime Third-Person-Shooter

[Deybar_TECH]

"Zero Winter"
(formerly known as -Stellar Weapons G5-)

Is a Super advanced 3D Gameplay-Mod with a camera in "Third-Person".
only for the Source port GZDoom.



The idea is to combine:
-Third Person Shooter- and -Hack and Slash- genres,
with the visual style of Chinese Gacha Games.
which its greatest attraction are its beautiful -Anime Waifus-.

In the game we play as -Jarelina-
a powerful combat machine that is practically indestructible.

Like her Sisters, a "Divine Decree" forces her
to have a pretty feminine silhouette,
and to dress in an extravagant way.

These Lethal Machines known as "The Daughters of Galatea"
are feared throughout the Galaxy because
they are a living manifestation of a "YAZ" Ancient Energy Core.
which provides them with abilities that are impossible to understand and very hard to match.

---

The features, abilities and advantages we have when controlling Jarelina are:

• > A Rechargeable Space-Time Shield.
• No attack, projectile or explosion can even touch you.
• > Bulletproof skin. Even without a shield, physical damage is minimal.
• (Even if you don't take any real damage, your "Score" is what will be lost)
• > Your shield's energy cloak can be used to Teleport whenever you want.
• > At any time, you can float, fly and perform quick evasive "Dodge" maneuvers.
• (a separate "Stamina" system that allow you to do maneuvers)
• > Advanced sensors allow you to see and detect everything around you on the map.
• > The "ScreenSeeker" targeting system will allow you to search, find, and lockon enemies.
• > An powerful arsenal of weapons imbued with Ancient Energy inflict massive direct damage on enemies.
• Don't hesitate to inflict Instakills on everyone who crosses your path.
• > Many weapons can cause "Generic Deaths" that will Erase enemies from existence.
• > your weapons can extract items from enemies that temporarily refills your "Health Bar".
• > A remote inventory storage is linked to you.
• that allow change or recover all Weapons, Ammunition and Upgrades you have collected.

On the Negative side of the game experience we find:

• > "The Daughters of Galatea" have a -Score System- that motivates them to be more careful and efficient in combat.
• The Score is your true "Health Bar" and very few items regenerate it.
• > Taking care of the Score is important.
• Failing will force you to wandering with NO "health" left for the rest of your journey.
• > Energy weapons use the power supply from your Shield.
• > Without Stamina your mobility will be severely limited.
• > On high difficulties, enemies will have invisibility cloaks, Health regeneration, and bulletproof cloaks.
• > On very high difficulties, enemies also have Instakill attacks
• and will throw P.E.M. and E.C.M. attacks that will disable your interface, weapons, mobility, and abilities.
• > On almost all difficulties, if there are few enemies, the game will multiply them when starting the map.
• all enemies will only hate you and will not fight or hurt each other.
• enemies always respawn.

mentioning that all these features
were already present in the previous "Stellar Weapons"

The difference now, is that I use now the advanced GZDoom ZScript Codes.
and I have a better LORE explanations for the gameplay behavior.

---

Interactions with the Doom universe (or other wads or mods)
were not taken into account and are not part of the LORE of this Game.





The most important and difficult part of this game is the 3D models.
I called this part of the development "Pre-Production" and it has been extremely complicated.

my 3D workflow is slowly and has been very stressful, so it has taken much longer than expected.....
For this reason, I not recommend to constantly follow/check status of this project.

The project is still in intensive Development.

that provide a effective range of 500 meters

the shooting Cycle is feed by a straight, double stack Coffin-Loader.
is capable to fire continuously and maintains the same Rate of fire.

The original Picattiny rail in the top was completely replaced with a non tactical carrying handle.
a manual cycling lever fixed to bolt was added right below of the French-style carrying handle.

the original Foregrip was replaced with other fitted with a sliding Cannon class "i1188".
The Grenade Core of choice for this configuration is the BLAZE - Firewall.



History:
The "JL Custom" design was originally an improvised weapon builded in battle
to accomplish a very specific Score.

History:
This weapon was built around the impressive i475 "Lohengramm"
in order to be the most powerful Ballistic Coffin-Loader handgun in the "Galatea Family".

how ever, is wise to consider the many disadvantages that the GC-23 suffer.
like little ammo capacity, strong Recoil, slow maneuverability,

plus, its durability are significantly increased.



History:
Like all Cleavers, the DPS-00081 is unique and exclusive Melee Weapon.
This time, it only belongs to -Jarelina- who carries them folded on each shoulder and behind of her head.

It was nicknamed "Trinity Slashers" due to being used in a triple configuration.
Jarelina carries 3 of these Cleavers due to their folding construction
and hydraulic mechanisms making these Cleavers much more fragile than a full-Solid Cleaver.

More weapons will be added in the future.

This "Woman like Machine" is the new and DEFINITIVE Protagonist of this project: -Jarelina-

Her "Daring Design" is a sign of the change of mentality
that I had to make to continue with this project.

Everything is going excellent now that I have the 100% of control over my Protagonist.



With this done, There is no turning back.....
Interesting news are in the way.

[Deybar_TECH]

This is what I've been building these past few months.

The "Trinity Slashers" Swords
and its mechanical backpack support.





The idea of a "Mech Backpack"
holding several Swords is interesting in the
Gundam Astray: Red Dragon
(where I get inspiration for Melee-Mode)
but it has some problems when she uses it:

• the backpack is too big to carry everywere.
• is too fragile to carry only for combat.
• It's a little bulky, taking away elegance.
• these metal wings are going to bother the Shoulder-Aim Mode.
• Thrusters are No required as she can always float.

The Backpack probably get a rebuilt
or even can be discarded.
but at least, I wanted to give it a mention.



Ideas like these have been coming and going.
They seem so cool, but building them is difficult,
and when implementing them,
everything always has to be adjusted
to maintain overall coherence.

The project is alive, but it's moving very, VERY slowly.

That looks INSANE. Shared it on my social media already. This has to blow op. This looks so fantastic..can't wait to try it with an awesome map and some quake 2 monsters or so.. or do you plan creating a total conversion at some point?

[CheeseAddiction]

It has a lot of potential I can say. Feels like it will be mainly fast-pace battle like Hellrider, also Character looks great.Maybe in the futuer it will have more action and even voicelines.I don't see much third-person mods so often. Overall,keep it up.

thank you.
the Voice lines are guaranteed
sounds from the game: Honkai StarRail

and the "Melee-Mode" should be fast and frenetic as in this EXVS-Gundam video:

I can't wait to code everything I have planned and bring it to life, but.....
Again, building the 3D models is what is strongly slows me down.
