Blackwater City

A custom campaign for Serious Sam 4 inspired by Ratchet & Clank!

Story:

In Solana Galaxy, Planet Rilgar has come under attack from Mental's forces. Captain Sam Stone receives a distress call and moves in to investigate. It seems the system's own defense forces are too busy at the moment, or so a certain Captain Qwark says...and it's meatloaf day! Blackwater City is the most major population center, and to restore its defenses, Sam needs to make his way to the shield generator and put it back online. This was back in the day when Mental's invasion had not yet arrived at Earth and Sam was still a spacefaring captain.

Features:

- Unique sci-fi locations, with heavy use of custom assets
- Breakable crates, collectable bolts; ammo crates; Nanotech crates!
- Currently 1 map of gameplay, approx. 30 mins long, depending on exploration.
- Custom voiced dialogue and sounds
- Open exploration to find hidden goodies

Playable in SP or Co-op. If playing in Co-op, I would recommend adding extra enemy multipliers or more enemy HP however.

I have some ideas for additional maps and improvements, so the campaign may be updated in the future with more content.

Known issues so far:

- This is a legacy project originally ported from Serious Sam Fusion and SSHD, so there are some file references to those games in the gro (for models/textures), if you're wondering. I may sometime go through all the files and resave them to SS4, but I tried to pack the .gro as cleanly as possible otherwise.

- You need dynamic lighting enabled to see the terrain at the moment. There is no prebaked global GI, but I will try to fix this for a future release.
