Work in Progress: Absent Eden

Indie game developer Howard Day has recently revealed a beta test for his game Absent Eden, a side scrolling platformer with graphics made in 3dsMax and Photoshop.

Words of the creator:

"Your character is an uplifted, human-level intelligence scout gorilla (who's been genetically altered to have several other animals survival traits, sense of smell, hearing, balance, reflexes, that sort of thing. Think 50% Cougar. RAWR.) As the game opens, you're returning to your home planet for debriefing. While in orbit, you signal your controllers of your arrival. As soon as your signal is sent, your ship is targeted, fired upon, and shot down. You wake up next to your wrecked scoutcraft somewhere outside the city. Your goal is to find out what happened to your controllers, and why all the dwellings and city outskirts seem to be deserted.
Thus the name - Absent Eden. There are no people here, just psychotic utility and police bots. All of them intent on eliminating you"

From the screens and downloadable beta this is going to be a great game if Howard keeps up the hard work!

Yep. It says it was made in MMF2 Dev. Pretty Awesome.

It looks amazing. The only thing I don't like is the menu screen. The text needs to have higher contrast with the background and the outline around it. At the moment it is too hard to read.

/me wants Howard to use HWA so the screen doesn't get pixelated on fullscreen

Looks awesome, but I agree about the menu screen.

3dsMax and MMF2, that's an odd combo for me, regardless, it looks awesome. :O

I don't see any issue with the title not standing out enough, it looks just fin as it is.

It's not really the title, but the options on the menu screen. How to play is especially hard to read.

"Genetically altered to have animal traits" FarCry, anyone?

It looks pretty good. Absent Eden, the name is also good. No people on this game only psychotic utility and police bots. I think it will be a great one to play. Normally I don’t love games with black backgrounds. I am sure my bro is going to love it as he prefers to play this kind of fire and shot down game. I am totally opposite from him. So happy news for him and his friends. payroll software

I guess the game “Absent Eden” is out now and I did play it. Overall, I love the game. The graphics, game play, theme and all were perfect in my opinion. I was quite surprised to learn that the game was built on MMF2. The most important factor to look in this game is the story which could very well make it into Hollywood some day. Thumbs up to Howard Day for this brilliant game!
