: SYNOPSIS : "Agent Under Cover" is a first person 3d shooter game currently being developed using Director 8.5 and 3d Studio Max. The ultimate goal is to make a playable, multi-level first person shooter which everyone can play on the web employing the shockwave plugin. The story revoloves around the covert operations of Lamarr Agent, a private investigator hot on the trail of a mysterious New York City club owner who has been linked with the recent murders of some of the top officials at City Hall. Work on the project first began in the summer of 2002. Currently, only one level has been developed. There are many things that have not been implemented as yet, such as the enemy artificial intelligence. The modeling is currently at a minimum level, that is to say that more intricate details and models- such as beds, couches, ornaments, etc, are to be added in the final phase of development. Things that have been implemented include collision detection, opening of doors, gun operation, movement, and basic enemy intelligence. All of the modeling is done in 3d Studio Max and is exported into Director 8.5. With the aid of some lingo scripting, it is possible to manipulate these models and even interact with them. The project is currently in its infancy; watch for many more changes to come in the future as it will take a while to complete it. Also, cooperation with others interested in 3d game programming will be essential to this project's success.
