Between university and my first job I made this game. It's a bit weird looking, I know. That was half the point. I was trying to see if I could work with a self imposed restriction - design a game in monochrome, and see how well you can communicate the game play through rather abstract means. I don't think I totally succeeded, but I learned a awful lot about how to express information to a player in clear, concise ways.
There's also some interesting gameplay mechanics - nothing "dies" in this world (except bullets and bombs). You're simply "turning" actors between light and dark energy - so if a light person continuously shoots a dark person, the dark person eventually becomes light. If a dark person shoots another dark person, it's like "healing".
The original heightmap engine was made by David Hillier, a friend back in the day. I made a big mess of his engine trying to get this specific look. Sozzles, Dave!
I don't really have any plans to pursue this game further, although... on the Wii? Hmm. I can think of a neat control system!

The game is really prototypy, and I don't really have the time/money/ability to make this a fully fledge game.
I can probably recommend HAWX if you want a play experience close to what I was intending. Just tried the demo and the third person combat is really neat.
I'm afraid it's not quite that simple. The game was made when I was a noob programmer, and only seems to run on Windows 98. I've not been near the code for such a long time that I don't really think I'd be able to figure out how to fix it. It became a real mess :(.
Someone totally l33t might have a chance, but I doubt anyone that good would be interested in what would really be a wasted effort. It's just not a good game as it stands.
