(Weird rant haha) So, black ops 7 is the sequel to bo2 we all wanted 10 years ago. By now the franchise is too removed from its roots to make anything worthwhile. The only good thing about this is the old games feel better each time a new one comes out.


Ive been revisiting older call of duties, and that’s what taught me that nostalgia isn’t even the real reason so many people feel this way. The games used to be made by and for their target audience, and now they have fallen down the pit of not targeting an audience at all, but rather try to appeal to everyone, resulting in a generic, soulless experience. Specifically in the campaign section. The stories used to be powerful without trying to be anything but a good story, and writers never had to force underwhelming “controversial” moments into the game to make it feel like something greater than it was. Simply playing an older call of duty game from the peak 2003-2012 era will show you that modern call of duty has not evolved, it has lost the plot for a while now. Why am I ranting about this? Good question. Waste of time for sure. However, I think it’s time that a developer tries to harness the same soul and passion call of duty brought to the fps genre, and create the next generation of these types of gritty military shooters, which we haven’t had in a long time. Modern technology makes this easier than ever, as the average game dev has more resources (technically at least) then activision did when they created the og modern warfare trilogy. The problem is, waiting for someone else to do this is not going to work.

My whole point in this is I am considering once again going back to my game dev roots and creating my own fps game. I know I can make something great, and we’ve had major breakthroughs with indie titles lately, but nothing quite the same with military fps titles. Just some food for thought.

So I started playing old cod games again, and for some reason now I’m trying to make my own… currently trying to model the San Diego navy seal training center

What am I doing with my life

Working on some more battlefield style destructible buildings in unreal 5

I used chaos geometry collections for this, and so unlike battlefield, each piece is individually simulated, and much more dynamic. Check the vid in the article to see what i mean.

Go tell your favorite creators to join Game Jolt and get REKT with love and support! 💓

For inspiration, here's an animation by one of our very own creators, @ElPichon !

Still not happy with the state of the demo, so I am currently uploading a new update (0.3) which includes:

Bug fixes, environmental improvements, added easter eggs, new soundtrack, pause menu, and master volume slider. Engine Version updated to 5.6

Someone's at the door...

Proving the unreal 5 haters wrong by getting my fangame to run run at 400+ fps

Kinda surprised myself honestly

I’m really enjoying making my own soundtrack for the game. What would you guys like to see in this game as far as soundtrack styles that you wouldn’t usually see in a game, let along a fnaf fangame? Idk just curious.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Just released my first metal single!

Check it out if you haven’t already. That would be awesome

Also I released the corrupted files (my fnaf fangame) soundtrack. I duplicated “N0 ESCAPE” accidentally
