Open-source Project(s) - Alien Infection

Heya y’all!

A few months ago, I got inspired again after rewatching the Alien Series (and some videos), and got reminded of Alien Survival, which broke many years ago. I have decided to remake it, and make it modular, as well as open-source!

List of Features

Standalones:

  • Door System
    doorShowcase
    slidingdoorShowcase
    Contains features such as:
    Power affected Doors, Keycard only doors, Swinging/Sliding Doors, Options for Effects, etc

  • Camera System
    cameraViewerShowcase
    cameraUserShowcase
    Cameras that show when player’s are active (red blinking dot, not present in the showcase), and will turn off when the power shuts off

  • Gun System (Not exactly recommended to use atm, as I really just needed something for the video, so I made it lol)
    gunShowcase
    As mentioned, I don’t really think anybody’d find this one useful, but it gets the job done, you can expand upon it or something. I will definitely update it eventually.

Main Features:

  • Modular Evolution and Growth
    At the moment, the Evolutionary cycle of Xenomorphs is as follows:
    1 Egg
    Egg
    2 Face Hugger
    Facehugger
    3 Chestburster
    Chestburster
    4 Xenomorph
    Xenomorph
    Since in Alien series, you see different egg types produce different types of facehuggers, you do that yourself!



    When it comes to variants, all you do to change their stats is

    copy any of these, insert it into the variant, which is located in AlienStages in Assets, and change the values.

  • Acid
    Karma
    Acid is a direct by-product of the simple gun system I have made for this.

How, Why?

I wanted to see how close I could get to recreating the xenomorph species in Roblox, and have them function as actual biological lifeforms, each serving their role, etc. I have also intended this to be a video series (which I would showcase here, but I am unsure about the rules of cursing, so just to be safe, I won’t)

Future Plans

I do hope to make the project more life-like, and I aspire to achieve that by eventually improving the AI, perhaps another map change, or some other things, my current list of ideas is really just:

  • Improve the AI,
  • Sound Investigation
  • More map interactables
  • Xenomorphs not killing you, but dragging you to the nest

I will definitely keep this thread updated about any possible updates I might implement
