Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

It has been more than two months which I do not post a new devlog article here on Steam, but for those who are following my game and the Artwork Section (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1714420/images/) you already know I have been very busy, working like crazy on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake. So these last months I dedicated myself to study Unreal Engine 4, and thanks to all the updated tools of the engine, I was able to get the basic game framework and gameplay systems working perfectly and I created this new trailer to showcase the progress on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake Development.

I plan to add more gameplay mechanics, to make the game more dynamic and fun to play. Now our hero learned parkour (as you can see on the trailer), I increased the jump height, and I totally removed the fall damage, so that means our hero will not be harmed even if he falls from a Skyscraper! I know it is not realistic, but this is fun. I am going to add other movements like vault jumping, roll, dodge, slide and wall running. I will still remake and improve the bullet time effect in Unreal Engine 4 among other things. I am looking to make some cool acrobatic action movements, very similar to My Friend Pedro. I want to make some INSANE action moments for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, in sha Allah.

About the graphics, yeah, I have done a revamp on the graphics but even then, they are not my focus. My focus is performance, and I want to allow even average gaming PC's to run Fursan al-Aqsa Remake. I mean, the requirements will be the same as the "Classic" Version, except that the GPU needs to support Shader Model 5 (any video card which support DirectX 11 can run Unreal Engine 4 games). So this is the final graphics quality, but as for the animations, I will improve these animations, add some more character animations, and more weapons for the final version of Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

The game on my new Laptop (Acer Nitro 5 with 8GB RAM and a GTX1650 4GB, Core i5), which I was able to buy thanks to Allah (God) and to you, players who bought my game on Steam, the game runs at 70-90 fps, smoothly without any noticeable frames drop down. A friend of mine who has an RTX GPU, the game run at 180-200 fps, so I think it is very well optimized. Because this I am not focusing in too much graphics details, or 4K textures, I prefer to focus on performance, specially for an action game, an intense shooter, like Fursan al-Aqsa.

This Remake will be free for those who own Fursan al-Aqsa on Steam, so BUY NOW and get the Remake as a free update once it comes out, in sha Allah. Even in the worst scenario, supposing my game gets banned from Steam, you will still get the Remake, even if that means I will manually send the game's files to each one who bought my game on Steam.

Support Fursan al-Aqsa and piss off Zionists!

This is a work in progress video showcasing the new animations I am making (by hand) for the guns in first person view mode for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.



The weapon models are placeholders and also the First Person Arms, since I plan to use AAA Quality Assets for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, to make this game a true Indie Masterpiece, in sha Allah.



I will begin to constantly post WIP Videos showcasing the development of Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.



The remake will be released as a free update on Steam, and as a standalone game for Android and other platforms (Playstation and Xbox), however, you will be able to still play the classic version on Steam.



My first motivation to migrate to Unreal Engine 4 was to release on Android since the majority of middle-eastern players play on Smartphones. And whenever I began to learn UE4, the differences between UE3, I have seen that it has power to make my game much better and more polished, since there are tons of plugins and frameworks available for UE4 that allow me to do many things which I was not able to do in UDK Engine, and much faster and easier way. Unreal Engine 3 is an AMAZING Game Engine, however, to be able to use it's full potential and power, you need to be a very skilled game developer, special having a strong knowledge on programming, whereas Unreal Engine 4 allows to almost anyone create games in less time and even without programming!



So I told myself why don't make a complete Remake of Fursan al-Aqsa, with all improvements UE4 gives to me? Very soon I will showcase the updated gameplay mechanics, including the revamped bullet time effect, sprinting, aiming, weapons recoil and much more.

Enjoy!

Since many players complained about the Security Cameras, I decided to reveal their positions, so those players who are stuck on the Mission 2, 3 and 9, which are the only missions with Security Cameras, now can enjoy Fursan al-Aqsa, the MOST BASED game of all times!

Here follows the guides:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825906391
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826001535

I may make other guides for the other missions, but, according to player's feedback, the most annoying part are the security cameras, so because this I made these guides.

Now, just like the classic Old-School Shooters, Fursan al-Aqsa has many Cheat Codes, which I did not want to unlock before, because I wanted you to experience the game as I designed it to be, a hardcore shooter. However, since many players already completed the Campaign, I decided to unlock these cheats, to allow those players who already completed the game, to have a lot of fun playing again, killing Zionist Soldiers in great style!



These cheats are freaking fun, indeed, but these are not just cheats, I fully unlocked the Unreal Engine 3 Console Commands, so you can do some CRAZY things, including breaking the game :)



To use the cheats, you simply press the "Tab" key on your keyboard to open the console command (those familiar with UE3 games will feel at home), and type in the command, then press "Enter", and enjoy!



Here follows a list of some useful and fun Cheat Commands:

God - Puts the player into a state where they are no longer affected by damage.
AddBots [number] - Adds more palestinian fighters to help you against zionists.
KillBadGuys - Kills all pawns not on the same team as the player.
AllAmmo – Sets ammo counts to maximum on all weapons
AllWeapons – Gives the player all the weapons available in the game.
Loaded - Gives the player all the weapons available and full ammo on those weapons. This is identical to calling AllWeapons and then AllAmmo.
Ghost - Puts the player into a ‘ghostly’ state where they can fly, pass through geometry, and are not affected by damage.
Amphibious - Causes the player to be able to stay underwater virtually indefinitely (sets Paw.UnderwaterTime = 999999.0).
SetGravity [amount] - Set the gravity in the Z axis to the specified amount.
SetJumpZ [height] - Set the vertical distance a the player can jump to the given height.
SetSpeed [multiplier] - Multiply the player’s default ground and water speed by the given multiplier.
Slomo [speed] - Set the game speed to the given speed.
OPEN - tells the engine to open a map by the name of the string that comes immediately after.

You can also press repeatedly "F7" on your keyboard, to alternate the view mode. The wireframe mode, in example, can help you to see the position of all the enemies, without them seeing you. So this can be very helpfull!



And bellow follows the official documentation for UE3 Engine, with all console commands you can use, and what each one does:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/ExecFunctions.html
https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/ConsoleCommands.html

Last, but not least, is a new option I added on the game launcher configurations menu, the invert Mouse Y Axis option, since many players asked this to me.



So I hope you can have some more fun now with the Cheats unlocked, until I finish the Remake, in sha Allah.

May Allah bless you all.

THE MOST BASED GAME DEV ON STEAM,

Fursan al-Aqsa is on Steam Summer Sales



Buy the most BASED game of all times, which flipped Western Media and exposed the hypocrisy within the gaming Industry.

See what (based and redpilled) people are saying about Fursan al-Aqsa on @metacritic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IORMxilitJY

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque® is a Third Person Action Game on which you play as Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian Student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli Soldiers for 5 years, had all his family killed by an Israeli Airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family and stolen his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian Resistance Movement called Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque®.

This game is greatly inspired by Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Insurgency Sandstorm, Max Payne and Goldeneye 007.

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque® is a game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Muslim and Arabs as Terrorists, Bandits, Villains and the Americans/Israelis as the "Good Guys" and "Heroes" of History. This is the first game in the games industry which addresses such a sensitive topic, in a realistic way, showing the other side of history, which is very unknown by people, mostly here on west.

So buy Fursan al-Aqsa to join the BASED gamers department!

Steam Summer Sales begins on June 23.
