CYTECH INDUSTRIES - [WIP] Underground Terrain

[Dan Tronic 550]

Welcome you to Cytech industries

 

What is Cytech industries? 

Cytech industries is a new project where the core aim is to bring an underground terrain and a survival mp game mode to ArmA 3. We aim to have the first fully underground terrain that uses a wide range of custom assets exclusively for this project. 

 

How will the 2 terrains work in MP? 

Our plan is to allow players to utilize both terrains in our MP game mode. We will do this by using KillzoneKid's server transfer script, this will be embedded into the MP framework allowing for a semi-seamless server transfer, something similar to how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. handles map transfers. This will allow for players to continue their survival experience across both terrains. Rawr-Tech has already tested and implemented this feature into our MP Framework.

 

Set in a post-WW3 apocalyptic dystopian world

This underground world of wonders will be based on research facilities, researching top-secret weapons technology and biotech, It will also feature a network of tunnels, caves, mines, sewer systems and, much more.

Alongside this will be an a16x16 above-ground terrain with various tunnels and bunkers leading to the underground facilities.

 

 

How will this be achieved?

Due to RV engines lack of underground lighting support, night time will be hardcoded into the map to give the desired effect of being underground.

We are also designing the underground areas in a way that players will never need to view anything further than around 200 meters while being in tight and confined spaces at all times.

This means we can also hardcode the object render distance giving players a big fps boost compared to that of an average open-world terrain where you need larger view distances.

This also gives us a lot of room in performance for an extra layer of highly detailed work within the areas being created as well as using optional scripts to enhance the gloomy atmosphere and boost immersion using scripts to produce various particle effects all while keeping a high level of performance.

Lore/Backstory

 

 

 

Timeline: 2030: Dystopian Societies (Setting the scene)

The year is 2030: Tyrannical governments run by police states, rule the world's population in a time where international unrest, environmental disaster, and the cataclysmic decline in society are all growing at alarming rates.

Earth's technological civilization is collapsing. Natural resource depletion and runaway climate change, make the world a very hostile place.

The world's population in 2030 is double that of 1980. The oil Reserves are currently 90% less of what they were in 1980. This results in a halt in international trade, mass poverty, a malnutrition epidemic, and global unrest.

Civil wars across the globe follow. The United Nations calls an emergency summit with all national leaders to take extreme measures to regain full control of the globe's increasingly hostile population.

The secret meetings codenamed (OP KUHL) resulted in a new alliance between all nations involved resulting in a new Intergovernmental Organization.

 

The UIA (UNITED INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE)

The UIA is an intergovernmental organization tasked to promote and secure international co-operation and to create and maintain international order.

A replacement for the ineffective United Nations, the organization was established on the 24th of October 2030. Its objectives include maintaining international control and security of the global population, protecting the oil reserves, and eliminating all resistance groups to regain full global control over the world's resources.

 

 

A Sinister Plan

The UIA’s main objective was to cull the globe's population in order to regain balance with the ever-decreasing oil reserves and the increasing global population.

At first, the UIA advocated for a form of airborne Sars as its preferred method of exterminating the necessary 90% of the population. This method was rejected by the council committee in favor of a new form of an atomic weapon being developed by the Russian military.

under the false illusion of a fake, staged world war, the plan was set.

 

 

2031: CYTECH INDUSTRIES

CYTECH INDUSTRIES was formed by the UIA to study and produce the new Russian weapons technology in order to achieve their main objective.

The new weapons made up of radiation and a new weaponized substance known as 1168b were to be used on the global population.

Anyone who survived the radiation outbreak would be sure to come into contact with the weaponized substance over the coming years after the war.    

1168b is a man-made virus that would cause humans to turn on each other in fits of rage, with the virus growing inside the brain tissue and killing the brain's cells.

This erases their memories and drives them insane, modifying their instincts to seek no goal other than the killing of anyone un-infected by the virus.

While still living, they appear to be dead.

1168b has become to be known as The Fury Epidemic.

It is thought that only 10% of the population is partially immune to the virus.

CYTECH INDUSTRIES also produced an antidote to the virus in order to control the remaining population after the war.

 

 

2035: The stage was set

The big red button was pushed, The world burned brightly and life as we know it vanished into the pages of history.

Looking good homie. Cant wait to get my hands on it.

[EO 11275]

This looks awesome, especially the lore/backstory.

MP project?...or is it being designed with AI in mind?

Thanks.

The game modes being worked on will be MP and they include a survival based mode and a team vs team mode, something like BF3's Metro Rush.

[HorribleGoat 1473]

Interesting and different concept for a mod! 
Will definitely follow how the development goes! Good luck!

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

It looks very nice Dan Tronic , keep up the good work !

Most of the Underground area's probably won't be compatible with AI sadly. 

[Valken 622]

Wow, amazing, and can't wait to see this in-game on a server! Fab work!

[Flinty 454]

Looks amazing, I’d almost be tempted to say this feels kinda like a Metro style map with the tunnels and apocalyptic setting

I asked because Zombies and Demons are some kind of AI

I suppose Dan Tronic meant that you can use what you want in his map, but he doesn't guarantee that it'll work.

 Yeah, sadly AI in general will be hit and miss with such an experimental map like this.

I've been wondering (sheer curiosity, not requesting anything) if it's possible to create invisible roads and paths, so that the AI can at least navigate corridors.

Even if they keep bumping or walking through debris, it could be a cheap solution I reckon.

In Arma AI building navigation already works on pathways build in into the objects so In theory all the used objects could have pathways on them.

@haleks Thats a great idea. Well worth looking into. Thanks

[markocro 66]

looks very good, would like to see more videos on development

IMPRESSIVE!

Creepy and awesome in equal measure. ^^

[EO 11275]

At first I was kinda pissed that this project wasn't AI friendly, now i'm like f**k the AI.

Don't speak too soon : even if AI pathfinding is all over the place, I have plans for some sort of AI in there...
