The History Of S.E.C.U.
PS : Update soon, improved gunplay, Infestation Trial overhaul and The Entrance Improvements
Did you know that S.E.C.U. dates back to as early as June 14th 2020, over 2 and a half years ago!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xH_WemQphM
I got into game development because of a video that was recommended to me,
it was a Quixel video on UE4 Photorealism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fC20NWhx4s
Something just ticked in me, knowing that i can make something like that using unreal engine
made me want to try it out, so i did download it and i started experimenting with some stuff
Around this time i also met John, a source filmmaker animator that has a lot of cool projects!
My personal favorite is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWtFPyPd3PU
John is responsible for the S.E.C.U. logos/thumbnails
and he made the intro cinematic cutscene of S.E.C.U.
He also made this cinematic for S.E.C.U.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L65TR-2FdI
very epic
i guess you can say this was my first attempt at a project
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmlifKmoPtA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bN4eQLv4Vw
looking back at these is quite funny, i had absolutely no idea what i was doing
i was going for a battlefield/ravenfield type game but making ai that shoots back prooves
quite complicated, so i stopped for a few months and i wanted to make a zombie shooter instead
which was how S.E.C.U. came to be, i imagined it to be mw19 but with zombies instead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVSUsrWjIB0
epic editing by john, I had actually gone quite far with this,
this was made by following a fps tutorial series up on youtube,
never got to launch it though as it had a lot of issues,
oh and the file size was bigger than current S.E.C.U.💀
After some time i continued with S.E.C.U. again and started with a framework this time,
and i launched an itch.io demo on July 7 2021, about one and a half year ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nIqkW0VLS0
You can still download this demo now, while it was decent it is very bad compared to the current
steam version of S.E.C.U.
There was no perks, very small and claustrophobic maps, no bosses,
no cards or player progression and customization and etc
Around this time i met with LionN00b, a ravenfield modder that does weapon packs
which made all the weapon animations for S.E.C.U. and is now my best friend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jAOzpfuj7I
Did you know LionN00b is also currently working on a game? it is a far cry 2 like open world game
and it has a lot of features and depth to it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSv0vnuU7pI
I also edited this trailer for him, you can download PolyTears now on itch.io for free!
https://lionn00b.itch.io/polytears-alpha-v09
It's not even over 100mb which is great you do not need to wait for long download
After this itch.io demo you could say i had a burnout, didn't work on it for about a year
within that time i actually started a new project called BF:RI short for
Burkina Faso : Radical Insurgency
it was an open world far cry 2 like game set in the real country Burkina Faso and had factions
like Isis, Taliban and more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H05YaI8oa30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XNCJ9EA6Ew
i was making good progress on it but i guess i had another burnout lol,
there was a lot more systems and stuff to be worked on for it to be finished compared to S.E.C.U.
so i think for a few months i didn't work on anything, then i figure why not finish S.E.C.U. instead
since i can actually finish it as it is a smaller project and i really wanted to finish a project at that time
and that is where the now current S.E.C.U. comes in
started to work on it again and overhauled a lot of things and released a demo on
August 11 2022 which was around 6 months ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5zgeNDSfWY
Around this time i met Indigo_Tail, i guess you can say he is an artist
Indigo is responsible for a lot of the icon/hud elements in game,
Like the weapon cards, weapon icons, perk icons and more!
This is his youtube channel
IndigoTail
He is very great at making art, if you want to reach him out this is his discord the_IndigoTail#5409
Then i proceeded to work on it more then you have the early access release on November 2, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUoStmC7juY
You know at first my plan was just to make S.E.C.U. a horde mode shooter and be done with it fast,
though around the development for the early access release i figured why not just go all out with it
and take my time with it as i really have no time limit and instead make the game i want,
After infestation is finished i will still not be finished with S.E.C.U. as i will be making another mode.
Thanks for listening to me ramble on about my journey for the past 2 and a half years,
see you guys later!
Also in the S.E.C.U. youtube channel i've made 4 old videos public for you to watch!
