Fursan al-Aqsa Game made in the list of Top 100 Indie Games of 2022 at IndieDB. So vote for making it among the Top 10 Indie Games of 2022!

Steam Winter Sales and Top 10 Indie Games of 2022

Hello dear friends!

Image

Fursan al-Aqsa Game made in the list of Top 100 Indie Games of 2022 at IndieDB:
https://indiedb.com/groups/2022-indie-o ... rds/top100

Now it is competing on the top 10 of 2022!

Just scroll down to Third Person Shooter Category and click on the red button to vote!!!

Image

Maybe if my game makes among the top 10 of 2022, this can help it to get some visibility to increase the sales, in sha Allah. As a muslim I do believe that the ultimate success and blessings is in the hands of Allah (God), but sometimes, specially now in our era of social media, we all know that just one post about a game may get viral and may make that game become a hit and success, like this game here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059 ... one_Champ/

After this tweet post here, a gameplay video uploaded by a Netflix employee, which reached almost 6 millions of views:
https://twitter.com/JacobDeRose/status/ ... 9666703360

The game got coverage from almost all gaming websites and many youtubers and streamers on twitch, and I am sure this helped the game to sell a lot. So maybe something like this can happen to my game, only God knows... While this does not happen, I will keep trying, in sha Allah (God's willing).

And on next tuesday begins Steam Winter Sales and I will give a HUGE discount for Fursan al-Aqsa:

Image

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714 ... sa_Mosque/

As you already know, buy Fursan al-Aqsa Classic now on Steam and receive the Remake as a FREE Update over the base game. I kindly ask for those 7.367 users who have my game on their wishlist to please, buy my game to support me! Every copy sold trully helps me!

Also, as I commented before, I applied for getting a remote job of character animator in the games industry because my game's sales on Steam are going slow and they are not enough for me making my living. I have great hopes that the Remake will be more successful, in sha Allah (God's willing), but I need a fixed salary, incoming until I finish the Remake, which I think I need from 8 to 10 months. So with a remote job I will be able to work on my game in my spare time, but I will work with peace of mind and be more productive. Working distressed fearing for the future of your family is very bad, indeed...

Even though I understand about all areas of game development, but I think that characters animation is my strength, and as so I built a portfolio and would like to showcase here some work of mine which many of you have never seen.

In example, this is a very old cutscene animation (the first cutscene) I made for my game, Fursan al-Aqsa, but in the end I decided to don't add on the game now, maybe in a future DLC or even another game. To be honest, I made this animation more as a study for myself, and I think this animation looks cool, and it serves to showcase my skills with character animations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSlIDWSX4Xk

Also here is the compilation of ALL cutscenes I made for my game, the actual version on Steam (almost 11 minutes of cutscenes):

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

And here is something I made just for fun (and I think it looks hilarious), on the time I was porting UDK Engine (the engine I used to develop my game) to PS3 and Xbox360. You can see this has the same game menu and interface logic of Fursan al-Aqsa, because I used this build of the engine (my custom build) to develop Fursan al-Aqsa:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xsPbycwKY0

And for those who have never seen my game running on PS3, here is, the first 5 missions running on my PS3 with HEN (Homebrew Enabler) installed:

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

So that's all for now my friends.

May Allah bless you!

Cheers,
Nidal Nijm.

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake Demo Release Trailer

Image

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBrVr-gQv58

This is the official release trailer for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake Demo, the most BASED and REDPILLED game of all times developed by the most BASED game developer on Steam, me, Nidal Nijm.

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is a brand new version of the iconic game Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This demo can be downloaded from Steam, IndieDB and Itch.io:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714 ... sa_Mosque/

https://www.indiedb.com/games/fursan-al ... emake-demo

https://nidal-nijm-games.itch.io/fursan ... qsa-mosque

As for those who own Fursan al-Aqsa on Steam, I updated the game launcher with a new button to launch Fursan al-Aqsa Remake Demo.

Image

If you do not own my game yet, do not miss the last days of Steam Winter Sale to buy Fursan al-Aqsa by 50% OFF and get this Remake for FREE, once it is finished!

Some observations about this Demo:

1- I forgot to add the command to return to main menu whenever the player does not get any rank on this mission.

2- I forgot to teach players how to do knife kills (I assumed you know because of Fursan al-Aqsa classic), just get on the enemy's back and press V once you see the icon "Finish Him". For the full game I will add more executions, not only with knife, but also with pistols and rifles, in the best John Wick style!

3- I made Fursan al-Aqsa Remake a bit easier than the Classic version because many people did not enjoy the overly hard challenge of Fursan al-Aqsa Classic. Think on this demo map as something like a Tournament Map, E-Sports to train your skills and train how to perfect the new gameplay features like Wall Running, Headshots, Super Headshots, the updated Bullet Time, Knife Kills and also exploding Grenades on Air!

So I kindly ask you to play this Demo and give me a sincere feedback.

Until next time!

Fursan al-Aqsa Mobile Release Trailer

This is the release trailer for Fursan al-Aqsa Mobile, the most BASED game on Playstore!

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

Image

Fursan al-Aqsa Mobile is a world-class Free to Play MOBILE-first experience, down to its core and it comes with full Google Play Integration (Player Stats, Achievements and so on):

Image

Image

Image

Get it now for FREE on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... AqsaMobile

Please, download, play and leave a sincere user review and rating on Playstore!

I know no one likes Ads in games, but be sure that whenever you watch or click on the Ads I integrated inside Fursan al-Aqsa Mobile, you will be helping me TOO MUCH, in sha Allah!

I plan to release new missions periodically, and for each mission I will add some achievements, to make the game more enjoyable while players wait for the next mission. I am also thinking on doing the same for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake on Steam, release new missions one by one instead of waiting 10 months to release all missions together.

This is a similar approach to Early Access, but for new players who buy the game, they will have access to the full campaign of the Classic Version, and they will be able to play the Remake, periodically, mission by mission, and this Remake will be a free update.

A nice addition is that finally I was able to integrate Steam Online Subsystem with UE4. Now Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is fully integrated with Steam and I also added some cool achievements on the Remake Demo (only for those who own the game on Steam), so now you will have a lot of fun unlocking them.

Image

Image

Added to this, I made some small changes (listening to your feedback) which improved a lot the gameplay experience:

* Return to main screen if no rank earned;
* Increased bullets speed to 27000 (it was 9.000 unreal units);
* Increased the time for reset Super Headshots to 20s;
* Reduced the Super Headshots Cutscenes duration;
* Increased the health regeneration to 5HP by second (instead of 1 HP) because with faster the bullets the game became a bit harder;

If you have my game on your Steam Account, you just need to update the game for being able to unlock these achievements. If not, so please, buy my game to support me.

Cheers and until next time!

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake: The Road to Jenin

Welcome to Jenin, the Symbol of the Palestinian Resistance. The Jenin refugee camp, also known as the Jenin camp, is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank. It was established in 1953 to house Palestinians who were displaced from their homes during the Nakba – the destruction of Palestinian society and homeland, and the exodus of Palestinians from their homes. Jenin refugee camp became a symbol of Palestinian resistance after a deadly large-scale raid conducted by the Israeli Occupation Army in 2002, during the Second Intifada.

This mission is also a tribute to the classic game Jenin Road of Heroes, the first 3D Game about the Palestinian Resistance made by Arab Game Developers, using a custom Game Engine written in Delphi Language. On this video you can have a sneak peek of the map, the upgraded visuals, lighting, ambience and more.

Buy Fursan al-Aqsa now on Steam and get Early Access to Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

OBS: Steam Spring Sale began and Fursan al-Aqsa is discounted!

Enjoy!

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake - Jenin Road of Heroes Update

Image

This is the biggest update for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake until now!!!

https://youtu.be/WccfO8y3BOE

I added a brand new Mission, Jenin Road of Heroes. This map is HUGE, bigger than the previous map. Also this mission allows for vertical gameplay and use of the wall running technique. The combat here takes a urban warfare style, on which both the player and the enemies can hide and seek through the map (there are many buildings with interiors).

Image

This update introduces a new weapon, the dual UZI SMG, also an update on all guns animations (both for 1st person and 3rd person mode). Alongside now there are grenade pickups on both missions (Camp Ariel Sharon and Jenin).

Image

I added many new achievements for both Jenin Mission and Camp Ariel Sharon, so you will have a great time revisiting the previous mission because I created a unlockable skins system for Fursan al-Aqsa (earning Rank A on each missions unlocks a skin), and for each skin there is an achievement associated.

Image

I also created a Mission Selection Screen, so now all of you can have a sneak peek of the new missions which will be coming in the next updates.

Image

Apart from this there are other small technical updates, like custom footstep physical materials sounds for the player, an upgrade on the characters shaders and other details.

Fursan al-Aqsa is 50% OFF on Steam Summer Sales 2023

See what people are saying about the most controversial game on Steam

Image

Steam Summer Sales has began! Do not miss this opportunity!!!

https://youtu.be/73QALe1quNc

By just 7 bucks you can get the 2 most freaking based indie games on Steam which are not available on Xbox Game Pass neither on Playstation Plus, but are coming soon to Epic Games Store.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714 ... sa_Mosque/

Fursan al-Aqsa is an Action Game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Arabs as Terrorists. You will play in missions across Palestine with many objectives to accomplish, epic battles, powerful guns, vehicles to drive and more.

Image

This game has 2 versions, Classic and Remake. The Classic is a full game, with 9 Campaign Missions, up to 8 hours of gameplay, but it is a game which follows a retro old school hardcore style, and may not appeal for younger generations, but this game is iconic and full of memes and non sense bonkers action moments.

Image

Image

And Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is the natural evolution of this game, it is a brand new game which I am giving for FREE for those who buy Fursan al-Aqsa on Steam. The Remake version is indeed the "Palestinian Max Payne on Steroids". It has better graphics, better physics, improved enemies AI, new gameplay mechanics, and many other cool improvements. It has only 2 missions so far, but they will give you many hours of fun, because the Ranking System, Unlockable Skins and the Steam Achievements. Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is an Early Access game, on which I plan to release more content constantly.

Image

Image

So that's all for now folks.

All the best,

Nidal Nijm, a.k.a "The most BASED game developer on Steam".

Fursan al-Aqsa Classic Episode 2 - The Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque

This is a brand new update for Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, the most BASED indie game on Steam!

Image

Watch the trailer here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUhMRUg1mTA

Since I realized an increased interest from steam players on Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, the most BASED indie game of all times, and since Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is an Early Access game, so, whoever buys the game can at least play the complete Campaign of the Classic version, I decided to make a very nice update, to show some love to Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, since this game is simply iconic, due all the controversy and novelty around it.

Image

I decided to release the so called and not too much expected Fursan al-Aqsa Classic Episode 2. What I can say now is that Episode 2 is what I wanted Fursan al-Aqsa to be on the day of its release, but was not able to do due my lack of experience with game development on that time. Now, more than one year after the initial release, I learned a LOT of things, and most important, I was able to build an AMAZING community around my game, made many friends here on Steam and got a lot of feedback and I am applying everything on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, as you can see from the game progress and constant evolution.

Image

One of the things I learned is how to setup Steam Achievements on Unreal Engine 3 (after I learned how to do this in Unreal Engine 4, for the Remake), and I added an Achievement for every mission of the Classic version, and believe me, it is worth revisiting it because the other significant update I made, the "Easy Mode", which is activated by selecting Ahmad Falastini Remake from the Characters Selection Menu. Yes, I added the new updated model of Ahmad al-Falastini, the most BASED game protagonist of all times in Fursan al-Aqsa Classic.

Image

I replayed all missions from the Classic and unlocked all achievement, and believe me, now playing Fursan al-Aqsa is fun and not frustrating!!!

However, the biggest update on Episode 2 is the addition of 3 new Missions, 1 mission from the Campaign, the Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque, the true final mission of the game, which comes after the Iron Dome Control Center, and 2 Challenges Missions which will keep you entertained and will give you some cool Achievements.

Image

Now I can say that this one is indeed the final update on Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, since with the Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque I already "closed" the game's narrative. Now the game continues on Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

Image

So if you did not buy Fursan al-Aqsa yet, grab it now and join the BASED Gamers Department!

Fursan al-Aqsa Remake - Nablus Preview - The Lions' Den

https://youtu.be/-mEy7BM9ZUs

Image

This is a Work in Progress of the next mission I am working on for the most BASED indiegame on steam, the Batle of Nablus. I just finished the external area of the map (outdoor), but I still need to add lighting inside the buildings.

Image

There are too many buildings on which the player can enter to make the combat even more frenetic than on Jenin Mission. By the way, this is the biggest map I made for this game, bigger even than al-Aqsa map from Fursan al-Aqsa Classic.

Image

I still need some more time to finish this mission, as I want to add a new weapon, the Sniper Rifle, so you will be able to hunt down your enemies through the map.

Image

I hope you enjoy this and until the next update, in sha Allah (God's willing).

Fursan al-Aqsa Steam Autumn Sales, Steam Awards and Sniper Rifle Gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3H4MYBeM64

Hello friends,

Another year is ending, and my game Fursan al-Aqsa is still kicking ass on Steam and elsewhere.

We are now on Steam Autumn Sales, and I have given a 50% off discount for the most BASED game of all times. By the way, these are 2 games bundled in 1, Fursan al-Aqsa Classic and Fursan al-Aqsa Remake.

Image

Fursan al-Aqsa Classic, recently received the End of Life Update, Episode 2 - The Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque, on which I completed the story of Ahmad al-Falastini, the most BASED game protagonist of all times, and added a brand new mission, the real final mission for the game, alongside many improvement, and, most important, I was able to add achievements on the Classic Version, so now the game is completed.

As for Fursan al-Aqsa Remake, it is a brand new game, with better graphics, physics, AI, new environment, new mechanics, and, most important, a new game style. While Fursan al-Aqsa Classic plays more like a tactical shooter, on which every wrong movement can mean the failure of the mission, Fursan al-Aqsa Remake trully makes you feel a true BAD ASS ARABIC SUPER HERO, who can literally fly and run on walls.

I would describe Fursan al-Aqsa Remake as a High Octane Insane Non Stop Action Game, with many crazy moments and, especially, over the top cutscenes, just like the traditional Holywood Action Movies of the 80's.

But Fursan al-Aqsa Remake is something like an Early Access Game, on which I am constantly adding new content, missions, weapons, skins and so on. I don't have an expected time when I will finish Fursan al-Aqsa Remake's development, but I try at each 2 or 3 months release a new update (new mission with other new improvements on the game).

Image

So I kindly invite you to both BUY Fursan al-Aqsa now at 50% OFF and also to vote on my game for the Labor of Love Award.
