Critical Point

Critical Point: Incursion is a standalone game created with Epic Games' Unreal Development Kit.

Incursion is a semi-realistic, arcade-like first-person shooter combining tactical gameplay with arcade-style speed.Utilising a wide variety of modern weaponry and set in fantastically rendered locations, the Mercenaries and Special Forces meet at a critical point!

In a rush-based mode as seen in first-person shooters such as CoD4, Battlefield 3, Counter Strike and TO:AoT, teams are given level-specific objectives in round-based scenarios!

CP:I is aimed at a large player base, offering a huge platform for competitive clan and league play, allowing individuals to shine and capture their glory regardless of how many hours they have played. It accentuates skill vs luck, aiming vs spraying, etc.

We differ from the competition by having no unlockables, no RPG's, no claymores, no tanks, jets or other vehicles. No spotting of enemies, no gimmicks affecting reloading, no influence on aiming, and no movement hit penalties when shot!

Just PURE infantry combat action!!

If you love action-packed first person shooters with great community involvement, then Critical Point: Incursion is for you!

Dear Community,

Summer is here, although the weather seems late in joining the party! Anyhow, we hope you are all enjoying the break if you're lucky enough to have leave from work or break in your education. We over at Critical Point: Incursion have been quiet over the last 3 weeks, taking a much needed vacation, but it's safe to say that the majority of us are now back on track with progress moving along as expected.

Some recent activity over on facebook will enlighten you with some "unofficial" pictures, movie and progress updates that should keep your taste buds tingling in between our official front page news.

Dear Community,

To boost the summer feeling we proudly present you a flyby through "Seclusion", a level set deep in the secluded forest of an American mountain range. This retreat is for one of the military’s most decorated Generals. His lavish mansion, a retirement gift, and testament to his years of service and battles won. In stark contrast to the turmoil of battle, the only thing disrupting the crisp morning air is the sound of birds and loons at the lakeside.

This morning, that calm was shattered by the sounds of gunfire.

Enough words, sit back and enjoy!


Seclusion

Level Design, Lighting and Optimisation by Matt "mjl86" Lefevere

With the help of our talented team of artists, led by art director Peter Aldred.

Jason "Midwinterdreams" Matthews
Ben "Fleafa" Calvert-Lee
Stefan "Rockstar6" Groenewoud
Blake "Kaze369" Mitchell
Kiory "Kiory" Freeman
Eugene "Eugene" Chu

And with the help of level designer Risto "restcrew" Jauhiainen.

The video was brilliantly captured and edited by our video artist Wayne "MyPetGoldfish" who spent a lot of time doing so. Its been a big learning curve for us and we can now tell you that our next video is already in production. Big thanks go also to our talented and professional Music Composer, "JT Marrin"

Dear Community,

We have made a lot of improvements thanks to your feedback. We do our best to keep the standards as high as possible, but ultimately, you, our loyal fans, are the final point of inspection!

After the transition from the Unreal Tournament 3 engine to the new Unreal Development Kit (UDK) back in 2009, we noticed that many weapons and assets were not up to our standards. It takes a lot of soul-searching and persistence to turn around to your team (and your fans) to tell them, "We are doing it all over from the start!"

[url=http://www.criticalpointgame.com]FULL ARTICLE WITH NEW WEAPONS AND SCREENSHOTS[/url]

However, there is always a silver lining, and we have pushed the quality barrier to a new high in all areas, above and beyond many indie games, which will ultimately help assist in the game's future success.

We received a lot of comments from the [url=http://criticalpointgame.com/forum/news-%28english%29/big-changes-new-outlook-5601/]big changes new outlook[/url] media release across the forums, facebook, twitter and indieDB. We are hugely thankful and appreciative of that!

The team has worked tremendously hard since the rebrand in March 2012, in particular Alexey "3dzipp0" Medyanik, whom has stepped up the pace, moving into the role of Environment Artist & Lead Weapon Artist, coordinating and ensuring we meet our high standards and our milestone plans.

Dear Community,

I present you zero reaction for new replies from other site members.  So I can think you are a spam bot.

He's probably not a bot, just doing the usual promotion for their stuff. He's also active under another name on a French Unreal forum I visit. They're just casting news in the wild to attract people.

Our absolute indifference and the fact that this is supposed to be a place dedicated to Old Unreal games doesn't seem to bother them.

Dear Community,

You voted and we listened! So as promised in our [url=http://criticalpointgame.com/forum/general-discussion/vote-for-the-next-dev-video/]forum announcement[/url] please find below a link to our DEV VIDEO on our Weapons and Hit System.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
This video is best viewed in 720p for maximum quality.
Show your support and help us get on STEAM using GREENLIGHT
Vote for us on Steam:[url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92955708]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92955708[/url]

Game Updates:
You will notice our 2 newest MERC characters ingame, from Jean (female char) and Womball (male char).
There is also the inclusion of our laser dot, networked and replicated over multiplayer game which even shines on your screen if a player happens to be aiming at your face!
We also have coded in a team health indicator, which switches between your team mates name and health - carefully programmed to auto scale at range so the bar does not take over the screen or interrupt with visibility.

Click below and now enjoy.

DEV VIDEO - Weapons & Hit System
[img]http://criticalpointgame.com/assets/images/misc/CPiSplash2.png[/img]

Known issues:
Animations: Running 3P anims still need further improvement.
We want to tone down the excessive ragdoll effects when being killed and shot. We have animations for these but they need to be coded in.
Sounds: Animnotify for the running sounds plays too fast. We also are improving the running, falling & jumping sounds.
We will also include a hit sound when firing at opponent so there is acknowledgement of a hit.
Since this video we have updated all weapon sounds to be more beefy and have a better booming lasting effect.
Effects: Some 3P weapon effects (muzzle flash and smoke) are not working as intended, some are not visible at all. This has been fixed since the video was made a week ago.[/center]


We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did making it. It’s the first of our kind so feedback and suggestions for the next video are highly welcome!

We will be producing further informal dev videos (at no expense to our development progress) giving the community the opportunity to find out more on Critical Point: Incursion and how our Indie game on the UDK engine works in detail.

You, our fans have the opportunity to vote on what video you most want to see next!

I disagree, a bot has the Capability to Promote Products i see it all the time on Random Forums also doing double comments in a row on 1 topic and not replying to other peoples comments is a sign that this Sickmind is truly a Bot.

[BobIsUnreal]

its a unreal project , while i hate commercial projects being posted in community forum like this , I see it no differently then if you posted any other mod your working on.

Reminds me of Call of Duty just with the Unreal Engine 2 might be Unreal Engine 3. If you notice in some of the Pictures the Textures look more Realistic, Clean and Clear, this won't be a mod for Unreal.

Standalone Game not Unreal Project

[BobIsUnreal]

Being a Standalone game is the separation point , you have a very good point.
then again killingfloor and tactical ops were technically standalone games,
but if it is made in udk , it means generally they intend on making it a commercial product.

Actually Killing Floor was a Mod for UT2004 before it became a Standalone Game.

Critical Point: Incursion being developed by DominatingStudios has just been Greenlit!

[url=http://criticalpointgame.com/assets/images/misc/greenlit.PNG][img]http://criticalpointgame.com/assets/images/misc/greenlit_small.png[/img][/url]

Yes, we made it! Check out our game (still in progress) over on Steam: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92955708]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92955708[/url]

This is just the first part of our journey after many years of development. There is a lot more blood sweat and tears ahead, but this is a great achievement and milestone.

We want to thank every fan and dev member (past and present) that has backed us and continued to support CPi over the last 5 years or so. This game will be released and we hope that being greenlit shows intent from the bigger community and validates your belief in us.

Keep on supporting. Keep on liking and share our great news!

This is a big thank you to every one of you - you are awesome and without your support this would not have been possible. Beta release planned in Q2 or Q3 2014 but subject to change depending on steams requirements and approval process. We will keep you all in the loop.


Other Developments:

In the last months we were very busy working on ironing out several code issues, preventing our alpha testing from continuing. Here are our update changes:

fixed several major crashes (blockers) due to open connections and timing out on our main menu

implemented fully working in game multiplayer browser, complete with steam server support

implemented fully working settings menu for updating all client side options [audio, graphics, input controls etc..] which is using the DLLbind for overwriting saved entries

implemented keybinding menu, adding ability to assign binds to more than 1 key

implemented crosshair preview, sliders to change RGB values and style

new feature: knives and hatchets are now throwable! you can buy 7 of them

new feature: when being shot the HUD shows "hit indictators" - this is client side optional and can be turned on and off

fixed body armour icon not showing in an online game

fixed objective icons displaying incorrectly in game (state changing too quickly)

new SCAR-H animations done

changed how the game calculations damage done and what to do when someone leaves. Players can reconnect during a live game when no damage has been done by any player, and they are able to rejoin as an alive player.

fixed several spectator issues showing artifacts and weird replication problems

fixed dead bodies being replicated incorrectly, sometimes showing into new rounds when relevant
