NEW PIKE SHOWDOWN
Grab your trusty six shooter.
Protect New Pike.
WHAT IN TARNATION IS NEW PIKE SHOWDOWN?
New Pike Showdown is the result of 10 weeks of dedicated and grueling work by six game development students with a passion for creating. This third-person/tower defense game, built in Unreal Engine 4, will take players through waves of action and strategy oriented game play.
You take the role of the sheriff of New Pike, a mining colony on a newly discovered planet. New Pike has one of the most valuable gold mines in the galaxy, and when a strange old man calling himself "The Prospector" arrives at the small colony, things start to get real dangerous. There's only one law in New Pike...finder's keepers. It's your job as sheriff to make sure The Prospector doesn't get control of the mine.
HOWDY FOLKS!

I would say my biggest contribution to the game was bringing the characters to life via modeling, animation and voice acting! (YEEHAW!) And creating a cohesive style for them that fits the world. Thanks so much for checking out our game it means the world to us to have people see what weve been working so hard on.
NOAH TINNEY
Programmer
Hello everyone, my name is Noah Tinney. I was one of the two programmers for New Pike Showdown.
I have always loved playing games since I was a kid. It is basically the only hobby I have carried with me throughout my life.
So, I felt like pursuing a career in the game industry was my best interest.
I have not quite narrowed down what I would like to specialize in, but it is still early for me to really focus on a specific field.
If you would like to contact me, you can click on the link below.
Lastly, thank you for checking out our game and for taking the time to do so!
I'd say my biggest contribution to this project was probably the development of the A.I.
They may not be perfect but I thought they worked fairly well for my first dive into A.I.
JAMES STEVENS
Programmer
My name is James Stevens, and I was one of the programmers for New Pike Showdown. I also worked on most of the in-game cinematics and most of the functionality of the user interface.
I've been an avid fan of games for a long time, but I think the first time I really began to fall in love with games was when me and my family were playing Mario Paint on the SNES, I'd always liked games up until then, but when we were all sitting around the T.V trying to see who could get the furthest in the fly swatter game. I also fondly remember a time when we had a Playstation and everyone in the neighborhood came over and were were all just beating each other up in rounds of Tekken. Those were fun times.
My goal in the industry is to create games that can create moments like those for the next generations of gamers whether they're young or old. I want to share experiences with others which create lasting memories like the ones I have. There were many challenges when working on New Pike Showdown, but also many successes, overcoming those challenges was like a game of it's own.
I hope everyone who gives this game a try enjoys playing it as much as I enjoyed helping to create it.
CALVIN SCHNEIDER
Level Desinger/Texture Artist/3D Artist
Hello, my name is Calvin Schneider, and I worked as a Level Designer and Texture Artist on our game, New Pike Showdown. Using Unreal Engine 4, I took layout sketches of our level, and places in assets around the town and the Saloon. I used Substance Designer to create textures for our stylized look in our game. You can see these textures for our buildings, and other level props throughout the level. I also modeled some of the buildings in Maya, which were done in a modular style, so we could have a variety of structures efficiently.
I enjoy creating both realistic and stylized textures, and I am pursuing a career as a texture artist. You can check out some of my works on my Portfolio page here: https://calwschneider.wixsite.com/home/

ERIC GRAY
3D Artist/ Animator
Hello everyone! my name is Eric Gray. I am a Navy Veteran and Commercial Diver and I have finally decided to turn my passion for art and 3D modeling into a career in game development. I had an absolute blast working on New Pike Showdown with a team that shared my values of work ethic, teamwork, and pride.
I was responsible for modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating weapons, enemies, turrets, the train, and the final boss, along with a number of different props within the level. I also created many of the elements of the User Interface and Heads-up-display that you'll see during gameplay.
