Darkest Island - Awesome PC Homebrew Release

Awesome PC Homebrew Release by Luke314PI

I finally finished Darkest Island over the weekend, and was able to give it to my friends and family as a late Christmas present. My little brother was very adamant about releasing this game online for people to play by the end of the year, so here it is. I have decided to make the game a free download. This was my practice run in making a large scale video game, and it is a little rough around the edges. But it is still really fun, and I hope everyone gives it a try.

The minimum system requirements are a 1.2 ghz processor with 512 MB RAM and a video card with 128 MB of video RAM. It also requires the latest DirectX drivers dated December 2006 which can be downloaded here. It will run better on higher specs of course.

Darkest Island is the story of a man named Daniel who wakes up in a bloody hospital bed on a remote island with no knowledge of how he got there. A girl's voice echoes in his mind, begging for him to come and rescue her, and promising to help him get off the island. Daniel finds that this hospital is actually a research facility, and the inhabitants are no longer human. These zombie-like creatures are not the only enemies that Daniel makes. Soon he has armed soldiers hunting him as well. The story of the facility unfolds as Daniel makes his way into the dark center of the island.

I can't download it :( everytime I get 95% done, I lose my wireless connection and I have to start all over again, stupid firefox :@

Thanks for the initial comments. Let me know what you think once you play it. :)

I will, well try to anyway.
so it's a first person shooter then? what's the story ...etc of it and how long is it really?

The basic story is in the first post. The game should take less than two hours to complete. And it is definitely a first person shooter.

This looks absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to have a bash at it.

I shall download it later :thumbup: I love FPS's

stupid mediafire, could somone who downloaded this please upload it here or on rapidshare?

i tried downloading it last night but it got cancelled half way though + mediafire is crap 20kb/s which is terrible when i can get 300kb/s on rapidshare :(
