Underground Fortune is my game for the theme "Beneath the surface" made in 48 hours in this competition.

It is a 3D First Person Shooter/Adventure game.

Controls are simple:
You can either use W,A,S,D or Arrows.
Everything else is in the game.

Game is made in the Game Maker: Studio engine which uses GML as a programming language.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the game and please leave your opinion here in coment section.
Well, it was a journey. I will definitely participate in the next one as well.

I was afraid that this would be to easy or hard but the difficulty spike was just right

Bummer, really wanted to play this but I'm Mac :( Looks good though mate, just from the screenshots you got my attention!

Was fairly interesting to play an fps without a mouse. Not too bad for 48 hours.

Interesting idea. Nice job on the 3D in 48 hours.

Great work on the 3d in 48 hours. It reminds me of the original Doom or Wolfenstein.

I loved this return to a older style of fps based more on exploration and the slower pace of the game added to the game. Overall a really fun title, have seen a lot worse on retail.

Unfortunately, only the floor and ceiling showed on my screen. And they were made up if weird textures. This happens a lot to me with 3D games made with Gamemaker :(

I really wanted to play!

Windows 8

Great old school feel. Pretty good base for a game for 48 hours.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the good feedback from you guys!

And @r2d2upgrade yes, there are some problems when running GM games on Win8s, pretty hard to fix though.

Really liked the mood and the gameplay was also very nice. Oldschool-shooter feeling, very enjoyable!

I love the retro shooter feeling I get from this :)
This is a really great game! Congrats!

Would be nice to get a little more feedback when you get hit, and the bats seem to go through you when you're fighting them. Otherwise, a cool game!

Doom style controls are very fluid... fun to just run around

kikaz18 May 2014, 21:36

Nice graphics and music, well balanced, nice experience ! thx, I really enjoyed it !

well put together game! I really enjoyed it. The walking was a bit nauseating. It would be nice if he returned to some kind of normal height when not moving, instead of stopping somewhere along the swing. I especially liked the environmental details and the sound, difficulty was spot on. Good job! PS there were some spelling/grammar mistakes. BUT SERIOUSLY I LOVED IT
