I been working on Half/Bryan since 1998, It is a Stealth sneaking / RTS game. I made the game back in 98 for a class and started off as a platformer of the PB Tower and you must reach the top floor without being seen. I started off playing games back in the NES days and played Rush'n Attack and wanted to make my own game but there was no way an average person of the 80s and 90s could get ahold of software. So the only way I could build my own game was real time with army men and cutout room shoe boxes. More of a board game. 1995 was the creation of the Military PB Group for the game and the Leader you see as the avatar. Another game I played to get the RTS like feel was snes desert strike. Yes you fly a chopper but wanted to do the base building. Then in 1995 one of my favorite games came out, Command & Conquer. I used MS paint in 95 to create my own building bases and such, but had no engine. So it sat around as pretty images. Made my secret agent man's name up as John before being replaced in the 2000s with Bryan. Another game that came out and another one of my favorite series was Metal Gear Solid. MGS showed I could build a secret agent like game that sneaks into bases. In the mid 2000s I got a software GameMaker and could start building my game outside of the classroom. I tried the Valve Source Engine and wanted to try to build Half/Bryan in it until found you need to pay a $25000 for a license for Havoc and quit using it. I then bought a box copy of Multimedia Fusion 2 and was like game maker but simpler to use and just kept with that. At that time I had a normal job and less time to do anything. Fast forward and still no time. I managed to get the novel done and 3 of the Half/Bryan games done from class but nothing great.
I tried to upload my survival part of the game up on gog but it was declined. I may try steam but I need to pay the $100 insertion fee. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MRe-Np8a60
Here is the small brief of the Half/Bryan story. There is YouTube and an official website of the series if want to know more.
