Apes Of Wrath Gameplay Demo

This is a short demo of the XNA game "Apes of Wrath" created by a group of students at DePaul University for senior capstone.

I made this video to showcase more of the work I did, since the other videos don't show it very well. Unfortunately, this video lacks the real fun of the game - playing with lots of networked players in one huge battle.

My contributions included implementing a 3D positional sound system (using XACT), composing adaptive music, and performing sound recording/editing. I also programmed the river shader in HLSL and designed and implemented the HUD.

awsome, really shows what xna is capable of. well done! I have a question though, is it online only or can you play in single player... my concern is that there wont be a big enough community to have a big game with speaking since xna community games doesn't have too big of a following.

Well, one thing we would like to do is manage to reduce the processing down to a point where we can make it 4-player split screen. Making a fun one-player game is really out of the scope for us (This was a senior student project).

We are also aiming for automatic matchmaking, I believe.

Really nice, is the landscape a static 3D Model?

[kgeisler]

Yeah, it was modeled in Maya (a separate group of meshes control the collisions).

It woudl probably be a good idea to have some kind of bots, even if they're dumb.
