First Post!

CyberRL
CyberRL is a personal project I started to practice my programming and game design skills. It is influenced mainly by Deus Ex, Ghost In The Shell, and my own imagination. Cyberpunk is an exciting genre because it represents a very plausible near future society. It makes me sad to see it so underrepresented.

I'm not certain how exactly the game will play out yet, but I'm planning to have it be set in a large city where you basically go around and pick fights. You can expect lots of human augmentation, hacking, excessive violence, and buckets of blood.

About Me

I'm a sophomore computer science student at the University of Texas and I'm looking to get into the game industry someday as a programmer, level designer, or game designer. If you're hiring in the area, let me know! :]

This Blog
 What should you expect from this blog? Well I'll be posting somewhat irregular updates of my progress, and I'll be sure to include screenshots in nearly ever post. At the moment it is missing a few key features required to be released in any form, but I may start releasing in-progress versions (alphas/betas/whatever you want to call them) in the near future.

For now, here is a screenshot of the current version of the game showcasing the very primitive state of the level generator, the WIP interface, and the gory aftermath of a multi-sided fight. A police officer engaged a group of thugs while a drug addict killed a civilian. I came in and finished off the survivors, except for the doctor who healed me and installed my sub-dermal tissue repair augmentation. Now I'm a wanted man; better avoid cops for a bit.
