About the game

A Combination of Melee and Shooting

Experience gruesome combat against different enemy types. Switch between a heavy-hitting pickaxe and the Wave Gun to juggle the unrelenting attacks.

An Over-Heated World

In 2075, most humans migrated to a distant planet as Earth succumbs to the effects of The Overheating. Radiation exposure then caused a disease called Gradual Hyperthermia (GH) that slowly wiped out the remaining survivors on Earth. GH caused hallucinations, unexplained rage, hyper-strength, and emanating heat. Once it reaches its ember point, the survivors, once human, will become monstrous creatures simply waiting for its demise.

Discover the Past

Play as Gravitus, an ex-soldier and now researcher tasked by Katani Industry to return to Earth. His mission is to explore the possible GH cures, but he crash lands in a desolate town. Explore the ghost town, face the mutated, monster-like heat vacuums, and find out what happened to the townspeople.

The Team

Ember Point was a capstone game made by a group of eight undergrad students at the NYU Game Center.

I think adding "DEMO" to the game title would be better, unless this is a game you guys cooked for fun. and if so, then ignore everything this comment says. I am writing this so that it would hopefully help you guys if you're gonna making future games. Things I liked and thought were pretty cool :D --// character, weapon design. map. character animations and finishers reminded me a lot with god of war fighting animations. voice acting. chain attacks. the boss was surprising great and fun. story. I love the gun mechanics, not only was it being used for puzzles but also used in the boss fight and the exploding dudes. //-- Things I didn't enjoy so much D: --// Heavy attack is too quick. I recommend making it that you can hold the heavy attack button to charge it up. Making it do more damage and if its charged enough, THEN it can make enemies fly in the air.(you don't have to charge the heavy attack to the maximum to make small fries fly). with that you would make charged heavy attacks a high risk high reward move. EDIT: why would the camera reset every time I attack. ITS ANNOYING. WHY WOULD THE FIRST OPTION IN THE PAUSE MENU BE TO GO BACK TO MAIN MENU AND NOT TO CONTINUE D:< (I lost my game progress twice because of that). The auto running is annoying. give me an achievement for finally being able to kill those exploding running creatures because I feel proud for being able to kill them. Why did the main character jump into the trap KNOWING it was a trap? I recommend adding a reason. maybe the "I am actually evil" guy tells the main character that there is a tunnel inside the area the boss appears in, and that tunnel will take him outside. and after the main character jumps in that's when he says "I am actually evil now fight this dude" Adding a dash effect (or tool) or making the character do a roll would be better than whatever the character is actually doing. It looks weird //-- funny goofy stuff :() I can access your game commands by pressing "~" on my keyboard. My camera sometimes goes throu walls when I am walking next to them. When the main character said "I got to get out of here". I think the exit behind me should have been blocked but it didn't because of a glitch I think. story and other stuff recommendation :3 --// being able to block and if i time my block right then I do a parry. what if the main character worked for the company and his job was to kill the "infested" humans back on earth so the scavenging team can come to the cleared area and take resources in the area and take it back to the new earth(the place where you said that humans went to, to escape global warming). The infested humans are humans that caught a parasite that takes over the human body and controls it. Those parasites only live in really hot conditions and that's why they were only able to evolve and take over human bodies after the temperature got so high from global warming. the reason the company the main character works for would try and kill him is because is was getting too nosy. EDIT:(and that company were the ones who actually created the parasites. these parasites were created to allow some humans to be able to survive on the hot earth or maybe they created them so that they can control humans and turn them into slaves for the company instead of having to hire people that need to be paid and can release information about the companies experiments.(or something) and for why the "I am actually a bad guy" joined the bad company was because they promised to give his family a better life if he betrayed his friend(or something else family related). when the "I am actually a bad guy" says "My ride is here" it would be cool if that "ride" was actually the company guys coming to kill him for failing to kill the main character and we hear him say "wait why are you doing this. give me another chance i will get him next time" then screams as he is getting shot. then the leader of that group would get talk to the main character using the drone, introducing her self and saying that she would be hunting him down. and that would show that the bad company doesn't spare those who failures. //-- damn I wrote all of this? I am not rereading any of this to check for spelling mistakes if there are any, then live with it.
