Fursan al-Aqsa running on PS3 HEN v3.0.3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUrFcjWZVU4

After almost giving up the PS3 version of my game Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, because I could not get the all maps to run on it, I tried one last thing, after all the optimization I have done (compressing textures, reducing lightmaps...): I changed the PS3 video output resolution to 480p.

Now the game runs smoothly, at 60fps almost all time, except on Gaza mission, because there is a lot of stuff running on the screen. It seems that running the game at 720p or 1080p will use much more of the extreme limited video memory of the PlayStation 3 (256 MB).

I personally liked the image quality, even though it is not crispy as on the PC version. The image looks a bit pixelated and there is absolutely no AA (anti-aliasing), which made the image look like there is kinda PS1 image style filter applied over it. I simply loved it.

The PS3 version is exactly the same as the PC, just graphically inferior (some lower resolution textures). But I personally found the PlayStation 3 version more fun to play, because of the dual shock controller. Each gun triggers a different vibration style, which is very cool.

Here is the original MP4 video in HD 1080p High Quality:

	Assalamu Alaykum Brothers and Sisters, In this article I showcase the Gameplay Teaser for the 5th Mission of Fursan al-Aqsa, and other new updates for my game Fursan al-Aqsa - The Knights of al-Aqsa https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al-aqsa-knights-of-al-aqsa-mosque/videos/fursan-al-aqsa-gaza-under-attack After exactly 2 months of intense work, finally I finished the Gaza Strip Mission. It was, until now, the hardest mission to make. This mission introduces some brand new mechanics, like the Air Bombing, Civilians Rescue, and others. I am very proud of the final results, and I am sure you all will enjoy playing this mission on the final game. Here is the original MP4 video in HD 1080p High Quality: https://mega.nz/file/Y0MnUQ4A#Eza70WdZNl4Pu0rSZARbnUSFb_7oHAZxm6hEjTr9Enk ------------------------------ Also here you can see how the Air Strike works: Gaza is under Bombing This is just a sneak peek of what awaits you in the Mission Battle of Shuja'iyya, of #FursanAqsaGame #UE3 #UE4 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #indie #3dsMax #MAYA #Autodesk #PalestineFree #Intifada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itJWmM2JcN0 ------------------------------ And here I show some behind the scenes of the Civilians Rescue Mechanics: Fursan al-Aqsa Civilians Rescue Mechanics Finally I finished the Rescue Mechanics of Civilians for Gaza Misssion on #FursanAqsaGame These mechanics were done completely in #UE3 Kismet, the grandfather of #UE4 #Blueprints #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #indie #PalestineFree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyM1qsWQLxU ------------------------------ This is a very important update about the PS3 Version of Fursan al-Aqsa: After #Sony came back on their decision to close the #PS3 Store, thanks to millions of players worldwide, I decided to apply to become an Official Playstation Developer and release #FursanAqsaGame officially on Playstation 3, instead of a homebrew. They accepted my game and now it will be an Official PS3 Game, instead of a homebrew. ------------------------------ And here is the first Press Quote for my game, written by a professional gaming journalist. I provided him a closed beta of Fursan al-Aqsa with 50% of the game finished: "Fursan al-Aqsa immediately harkens back to classic shooters - it always feels dangerous and tense. I'm really impressed with the quality of the animation - Ahmad's actions all look amazingly fluid and natural, even with the game's throwback vibe. This is a seriously terrific piece of work as well as an important perspective that we have never seen in a shooter before." Ian Boudreau, freelancer writer for IGN Website Personal Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/iboudreau So that's all. My next step is to make an updated demo of the game, the final demo with all the improvements I implemented on the game, alongside some new maps, Jazakom Allah Khayr and until next update, Insha Allah.

	Fursan al-Aqsa Map Showcase - Battle of Shuja'iyya In this article I showcase the map of Gaza Strip, which will be the 5th Mission of the Campaign, alongise some exciting new updates for my game. Hello friends. After a looooong time, I finished the Gaza Strip Map, which will be the 5th Mission of the Campaign. This will be indeed one of the best missions of my game. The gameplay will be a bit different from the previous missions, as the main objective here will be to rescue some civilians and take them to the ambulance. Also the player will have to survive an intense air bombing while he is playing the mission. And the Boss Battle will be epic, as you drive the Humvee vehicle equiped with the Grenade Launcher and fight against an Harrier Airplane! In the end of this article you can see some screenshots. Something very AMAZING happened to my game is that it was selected to compete on the Rookie Awards 2021, one of the most important events of the Creative Media, sponsored by big names like Autodesk, Nvidia, EPIC Games, Adobe and others. I even earned an Excellence Award for my entry: https://www.therookies.co/entries/9229 https://www.therookies.co/u/nidalnijm/achievements I even gave an interview to a Gamespot Journalist about my game and my opinion regarding the game Six Days in Fallujah, which ressurrected recently, and wants to tell the history of the American Heroes who sacrified their lives on the War against 'Terrorism'. This interview will be published soon. And after my game is becoming well known in the web, and because google even created a custom panel with informations about my game, and a Content Topic Channel on youtube, just like the big games out there, I decided to make my new channel public: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqXFPcoS4tFnFzM4TaR1HoQ There you can watch all my game's trailers at 1080p. And here follows the Screenshots of Gaza Map. Oh Gaza, the Resistant... Revolt... Revolt against the Oppressor... Burn with Fire all the Zionists... Take your Avenge, Oh Gaza, the Purified... Be steadfast Oh Gaza, the Resistant... Victory is coming... Zionist Forces are bombarding Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City, in Gaza Strip. Your mission, Fidae, is to rescue the civilians, take down the Israeli Jet Fighters and protect the City at all costs. And if you die in this mission, Paradise will be your eternal bliss. Allah Akbar! #FursanAqsaGame #UE3 #UE4 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #indie #3dsMax #MAYA #Autodesk #PalestineFree #Intifada For more screenshots: https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al-aqsa-knights-of-al-aqsa-mosque/news/fursan-al-aqsa-map-showcase-battle-of-shujaiyya Cheers and until next update!

	Fursan al-Aqsa - Old City of Jerusalem On this article I showcase the finished map of Jerusalem, which will be the 4th Mission of Fursan al-Aqsa's Campaign Mode, alongside some new progress on my game. It's time to protect the Holy Land, the Land of the Prophets and Messengers, the Land of our Ancestors. Zionist Forces are preparing a big strike against the Old City of Jerusalem, so it is up to you, Fidae, to protect it with your blood and soul. And if you die in this mission, Paradise will be your eternal bliss. Allah Akbar! After almost 20 days of extensive working, I finished the Map of Jerusalem, which is the 4th Campaign Mission of Fursan al-Aqsa. This is one of the biggest maps of my game, it's not a 1:1 replica of the real city, but I tried my best to make it look similar. I even found a way to convert Google Street View Panorama Images to Skybox Textures, to use them as a backdrop for the maps. The final results are good, as these custom skyboxes add a depth to the maps. Another Milestone for this project is that my game was selected for the Independent Games Festival this year, a long life dream which I finally achieved. Even though my game doesn't be selected as a finalist, but the fact of participating on the biggest event for Indie Games is for sure a milestone for any game dev out there! I thank Allah (God) for this and also thank you all who are following my game, those who are supporting me here and elsewhere. Jazakom Allah Khayr (May God give you all the best). https://igf.com/knights-al-aqsa-mosque Another very important achivement for me is that my game got noticed by the legendary Martin Hollis, the main programmer and director of the original Goldeneye 007 on the Nintendo 64! My game, despite having a completely different story, plot and thematics, but, on it's heart, it is a love letter for Goldeneye 007. Martin Hollis noticed this and praised my game: https://twitter.com/martinhollis/status/1359189828173238275 https://twitter.com/martinhollis/status/1359190260173987846 Also, as I am close to finish the development of #FursanAqsaGame, I decided to replay the classics #Goldeneye007 and #PerfectDark (my greatest inspirations) on a #N64 #Emulator for #Android to get more ideas for mission objectives to make my game a trully Love Letter to Goldeneye007! As I am playing these masterpieces, some cool ideas pop up into my mind, like destroying security cameras, sabotaging some israeli equipment, finding secret documents, planting bombs, invading Israeli bases, disguising yourself, murdering a specific enemy, rescuing Palestinians, and so on. And here follows some screenshots of Jerusalem Map, I hope you like it. Next step I will be making a small gameplay teaser for this map, as I have done with the previous 3 maps. For more screenshots, please go here: https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al-aqsa-knights-of-al-aqsa-mosque/images Cheers and until next update. #FursanAqsaGame #UE4 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #indie #3dsMax #MAYA #Autodesk #PalestineFree #Intifada

	Fursan al-Aqsa - The History of Palestine Assalamu Alaykum Brothers and Sisters. With the help of my father, who made some slight adjustments to the game's narrative, I made a new trailer to let players get more immersed on the Palestine x Israel Conflict itself. I made the trailer on 3 languages (Arabic, English and Portuguese), which you can watch all of them on the video sections of Fursan al-Aqsa IndieDB profile here: https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al-aqsa-knights-of-al-aqsa-mosque/videos Fursan al-Aqsa - The History of Palestine - English Trailer https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al-aqsa-knights-of-al-aqsa-mosque/videos/fursan-al-aqsa-the-history-of-palestine-english-trailer And here follows the announcement: Fursan al-Aqsa at @BostonFIG 2021 My game will be showcased at BostonFIG, one of the biggest Independent Games Festival on the United States! This is indeed another milestone for my project. Register here: https://eventbrite.com/e/bostonfig-fest-virtual-tickets-129017660295 I will wait you there, so you can talk with me, ask questions about the game, my motivations for this project, and so on. Next step will be make a new trailer about the game protagonist's history, and the motivations which made him fight against Israel Army. Last, but not least, after a long time, I updated and revamped my game's Website (and I even customized my game's profile on IndieDB, to make it's design as close as possible to the site's design), to make it a showcase for the upcoming events and games festivals on which my game #FursanAqsaGame will be showcased: https://www.fursanaqsa.com/ Jazakom Allah Khayr and until next update.
