Introduction
Facewound is a 3D accelerated 2D side scrolling shoot em up. Facewound uses technology that you'd associate with 3D games such as pixel shaders and ragdoll physics to bring 2D games up to date.
Facewound is currently being developed by Garry Newman's Facepunch Studios; the geniuses behind the revolutionary modding game, Garry's Mod.
Technology
The game features some fantastic technology that isn't usually associated with 2D games...
- Pixel shader effects:
- Refracted water reflection
- Water ripples
- Bloom
- Shockwave effects
- Heat wave effects
- Specular effects
- Full screen post processing
- Advanced particle system
- 2D ragdolls
Facewound is 3D accelerated, so it will require a Direct3D compatible video card.
Distribution and Availability
Facepunch Studios is hoping to deliver their game using Steam, or other digital distribution software. No official announcements have been made by either Facepunch Studios or VALVe.
Facewound is currently in development, no release date has been announced. The only pricing information available is an estimation; it is said that it will be around $15-$20 when it is released.
