It is THE FUTURE A.D., and the most important reality is now VIRTUAL REALITY. Just as regular reality needs policing, so too does this world of ones and zeroes. Enter our heroine: CYBERNANA, valued team member of the CYBERPOLICE 2020! She has played by her own rules and spat in the face of danger for hundreds of years now, or millions at least, and is quite the crime-kicker in her own right. But today is a special day: her birthday!! Yes, she's been waiting for at least a year for this day to come, and everything's coming up nana; she's got the day off, her rumpus room is all set up to party down in, and she's been gifted something humongous that's sure to thrill and excite! When the time comes to open it, however, tragedy strikes! A Dweebix assassin hops out of the box, hoopin' and hollerin' and ready to fight! Now it's up to YOU to help our heroine defeat her foes and take back the wonderful gift that they stole from her... IF YOU CAN!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?
Good question. I think it's best summed up as... uh... well, it's a total conversion, for starters. In a sort of "eye searing 90s internet and computers" theme. It was originally intended as a gift for a friend (the REAL nana) but she's since disappeared from the face of the internet and I've sort of restarted the project as an homage to her legacy. The game itself has a heavy emphasis on bizarre humor, ranging from weird animated GIFs to sounds lifted from Klik 'n' Play to an array of whimsical and at times downright nonsensical weapons and enemies. There is an in-joke factor, I suppose, but I think that for the most part if you have a strange sense of humor you'll probably enjoy the horrors that I've wrought game on the whole.
AN INCOMPLETE DESIGN DOCUMENT!
Spoiler: in case u dont wanna read it...
CYBERNANA DESIGN DOC
----------
WEAPONS
----------
1.) CyberTaser - Just a two-pronged hand taser thing.
1a.) Cybernana's Death Tentacle - A rapid-firing energy charged tentacle of death!
2.) Low-Intensity Laser - Fires a lame laser beam!
AMMO: Laser Cells
3.) WaveDisc - This little gadget flings weaving wobbly energy-charged discs in a spread pattern.
AMMO: Atomic Battery
3a.) Lil' Juan - A small purple gun that packs a mighty wallop! Uses sound to bash your enemies in
the skull. Really good kickback!
AMMO: Atomic Battery
4.) User-Friendly FasterBlaster - A happy little gun that rapid-fires laser beams. Eager to kill
and ready to please.
AMMO: Laser Cells
5.) Spike Cannon - Fires spiked balls of explosive shrapnelly death!
AMMO: Spike Balls
6.) The Producer - Fires a rapid barrage of fruits and veggies! Altfire produces a CRATE BOMB,
a crate packed with a mess of produce that bursts out and acts like a MIRV.
AMMO: BioMass
7.) BioMiracle VII - Has random, devestating effects.
1.) Summons VIRTUAL CYBERNANA, a la Ripper Heart.
2.) Belches forth a rapid fire nightmare of random projectiles.
3.) Tosses out a NUCLEAR GRENADE!
4.) Conjures the spirits of fallen foes to serve you!
5.) MYSTERY CUBE! Question marked cube that explodes and throws question marks everywhere.
6.) Gun jams, prompting CN to smack it a few times until it blasts a blinding burst of energy
in all directions. Absolutely devestating, costs most ammo of all.
AMMO: BioMass
----------
POWERUPS
----------
GROUCHO MODE: Pops a cigar in your mouth and turns you into the invincible Groucho Marx! Puff some
smoke, tell some jokes, and kick some ass! Plays "Hooray For Captain Spaulding."
UNICORN MODE: Turns you into a majestic rainbow-blasting unicorn. You reflect all projectiles back,
and your horn shoots a laser that blasts your enemies into clouds of rainbow colored
smoke! Plays a "Neverending Story" remix.
COFFEE BREAK: Gives you a chance to catch your breath. Slows time to a standstill and plays you
some smooth jazz.
TASER UPGRADE: Much like Berserk, except effectively permanent. Also adds a ranged altfire to the
taser that uses Atomic Batteries.
----------
ENEMIES
----------
BUMPERCLOWNS: Clowns in bumpercars. Drive around at dangerous speeds, bumping into Cybernana for
some nasty damage. Explode on death, flinging body parts and debris everywhere. Weak.
CHINESE GANGSTER: Exactly what they sound like. Wield SMGs and hop around. Average.
BIRD OF PREY: A stout fellow with the head of an eagle or a hawk. Fires magical arrows from his
bow. Weak.
DWEEBIX: The gruntiest of grunts. Weird blonde mullets with uniformly colored bodies and Jersey
Devil legs. Wields a weak energy pistol. Weak weak weak.
SCREENSHOTS???
Spoiler: screnshos
Now keep in mind that this is HIGHLY WIP still, so there's not yet anything playable to show off. I've primarily posted this to see if anyone is even vaguely interested in it, and if so, to have them stay on my ass and force me to continue making progress on this as I am slow as grandma on a Tuesday. So uh, yeah, I think that's everything relevant? Enjoy??
Hahahahah! I remember long ago getting a demo or so of this. Sadly it's been forever since I played it, but I wish you luck getting it together. man :V
Just an update for anyone keeping an eye on this: I've been mostly working on code recently, which is why I haven't had much new to show off. Two more enemies have been implemented (Goblin and Assault Dweebix), a few weapons are on the way, and a number of other small things have been tweaked. Once I get off my lazy ass and throw together the last major cutscene, there should be more map development to show off. Thanks for the interest, folks, and hopefully there'll be more to see soon!
