Left 2 Die - the first official announcement

[Niklas]

"Left 2 Die is a fast paced top down old school shoot'em up game where you are all alone left to die in a world taken over by zombies, demons and other creatures from hell!"

The Left 2 Die game has been in development for about 18 months and will most likely be in a release state within a few weeks. We have decided to only release the game with single player game mode and possibly release an updated version later on with both cooperative and deathmatch game modes. The decision to this is purely due to the fact that the development of Alien Assault 2 is constantly pushed forward and we want (along with our community) start working on that game as soon as possible.

The game will include the following:

• mod support
• 100% functional level editor actually used by developers
• 8 competitive levels
• 20 different enemy types (everything from small zombie soldiers to huge cyber demons)
• 9 weapons (like pistol, shotguns and plasma rifle)
• 20-30 powerups

We will publish more information regarding L2D in a near future, until then here's a small teaser screenshot from the first level:

Please also note that the game and its content shown on released screenshots are still in development and are not of final quality.
We are working hard to polish the game even more for it to be perfect when it is time for release.

It feels so great to announce our new game. Now the community will have something to play while we start developing AA2.

Great! Thanks again, Teardown.

Competitive levels = difficulty levels? I hope so, since I'm really bad at this kind of videogames (well, almos any kind).

[Niklas]

We have five different difficulty settings, you will have no problem on the easiest one.

[CATAFRACTO]

Thank you, sir. I will surely need them!

[Combo Breaker]

So it is a "doom" with a different point of view?

[Niklas]

Initially we were going to make it an Alien Assault themed game which could be ported to games old top down shooters like Alien Breed, Chaos Engine but also Doom. Now we are just trying to wrap it up and the Doom content is almost done so to not waste even more time we'll release it with that and finally start working on AA2.

Hello,everyone!
Haven't visited Teardown for some time,and I honestly relieved to see that forum is still alive and quite active.

As of L2D
Looks very good.especially with "cooperative",and even better with "deathmatch" even if in future perspective.I really missed those top-down shooters...(Alien Shooter,Crimsonland,Alien Breed and others).

We decided to cut all multiplayer features from L2D to speed up the launch date and to be able to start with AA2 asap. Would have loved to have it in for v1.0 but we'll try to get it in later on in a future version.
