This topic is to review beta test results, as well as keep an eye on the amount of users interested in the game as the other topic has been started years ago. I believe this topic serves a different purpose than the development topic for the complete game. If this is a problem I will merge the main topic into two sections beta/full game development.

[size=150]What is Fall of the Living?[/size]

Fall of the Living: First Outbreak is a survival horror action rpg made in RMXP that has been in production for quite some time now. It uses almost completely custom coding trying to steer away from nearly all RMXP's default systems.

[size=150]Note[/size] Beta Campaign Mode Contains NO story mode gameplay. This is a COMBAT SYSTEM TEST BETA. To strictly test the combat on maps that will be featured
in the final game. None of the 3 stages end by themselves. After you have killed all the zombies and explored all the levels press the F12 button to return to the main menu to select the next stage through campaign.


Features:

Spoiler for:

-Advanced Weapons System - Take control of a detailed combat system. Ability to perform instant kill headshots. Fueled by the Mushroom Cloud Engine. A powerful engine I created from scratch taking advantages of a custom particle animations systems, and a deep stats system per weapon.

-Blood System - Enemies splatter blood when hurt

-Custom Map Lighting

Beta Locations:

Spoiler for:

-Apartment Complex
-Urban City (with a few stores)
-Country Side (with Abandoned Airport)
-Sheriff Office [Extra Op]

a small teaser of gameplay. Had to record offscreen due to my laptop not being able to record the videos fast without lag. I'm sorry for the bad quality, better on screen version of gameplay test showing multiple weapons will be posted soon.

Gameplay with the silenced MP5SD, USP, and MOSSBERG 500 12 gauge.

Graphics bugs are present in the video, ignore them.

Beta Gameplay Instructions and controls (Important)

About Weapon Slots (Inventory System)
Weapon slots are seperated into 4 different catagories. A,B,C and D.
You press W to switch through the weapon catogory letters.
Slot A: Primary Weapons (Assault Rifles and Sub Maching Guns only)
Slot B: Secondary Weapons (Handguns Only)
Slot C: Support Weapon (Shotguns and Hunting/Sniper Rifles)
Slot D: melee Weapon (Not available in beta)
If you look at a weapon that is able to be picked up, it will tell you which slot the weapon will take up. S1, S2, S3, Meaning slot A, Slot B, slot C.

Refilling your ammo:
[Ammo stashes are on the starting point of each stage, as well as can be found randomly around the level. Ammo stashes have a variety of ammo types. To collect ammo, simply equip the weapon you would like and interact with the ammo stash. You can refill slot A, B, and C with ammo stashes.

There is no auto reload. To reload your weapon press the Q key.

First Aid Kits.
If a first aid kist is found, hold the Z key 5 seconds untill your health is fully restored. There will be no indication
of if your using it (glitch in beta)
(only ONE first aid can be carried at a time)

Beta Stages
Some of the stages in the beta are uncomplete graphic wise. Alot of the buildings in the beta CANNOT be entered,  there was not enough time to do all the interiors, definately next demo. Small graphics or gameplay bugs may be in it. That is the REASON FOR A BETA.

Known Bugs

Spoiler for:

Muzzle Flash - Smoke from firing gun sometimes a small puff goes in wrong directionwhen firing. this is just a graphics bug and does not affect gameplay. the muzzle flash animation is not complete, and doesnt have up and down animations.

Reloading - The "Reloading" Text stays on screen if you teleport to a new map while the text is displayed.To fix this error, simply reload again

Slot Menu -Somtimes on the first safe map, and only that map, the Slot menu will cycle through only a and b, or c and d. You can still pick up weapons. To fix this just continue to the second map and it will be returned to normal

Link Fixed!

No one played it yet? :[

I'm re dling it now, ill edit this post once ive played

Lets see here, Ill note only the gameplay issues here, since im sure you know about the graphics ones, Theres a few places where the player can just run outside the map, zombies follow too, making for a rather intresting setup XD. I encountered some invincible zombies as well, the zombies also seem to respawn and then die as soon as the player reenteres somewhere theyve been preiviously. Sometimes my guns havent worked, and neither has reloading. I find that the regualr walk speed is just a tad bit slow, battle seems sort of choppy, and i struggle to hit guys soem time (or amybe i just suck). I like your weapon animations though, especially the pistol ones XD

Awesome thank you. If you need help let me know. I feel lke I didn't post some things..

Anyone else play? The official demo with all the errors will be removed soon. With new weapons, systems, and levels.
