Cool game but couldn’t get on with the controls, looks very nice but would like to see mouse cursor and be able to move aim quicker, turn 180 by moving mouse over the player.

If I could unlock the cursor I would play this for sure.

Have you tried the different control modes that you can activate in options -> controls ?

Yes! Thats just what I wanted! This is going to be played at next personal lan

Thanks I will try that now, was very impressed with the menus but too much of an idiot to check for alt controls!

Hi,

some news:
I implemented synchronized (other network) animations on lights, free text on the floor, colored floor … and I’m currently drawing new elements for the maps. I’m trying to create a nice map and publish a demo on steam soon …
Once the demo is done, I plan to work on other game modes, starting with capture the flag.

here are some screenshots :

Damn they look good. If I have time I should learn GL.

Yeah, it is time for some new modes, after the new modes are done and and the map editor is finished your game is also finished, right?
You must really want to work on something new, after such a loooong project…
And some money for the bills must also be welcome

After this in term of code, I’ll have to implement bonuses, management of the multiplayer game session ingame ( change maps, add/remove bots, kick players … ), and a website to present/sell it I may also have to work on a minimal UI for dedicated servers …
But then I 'll have to provide some content: maps, art ( lots of sprites to put in the maps ) and more music tracks as well.

For sure I’m looking forward to have everything finished, I’m not sure I will do another game after this … at least not a multiplayer one as it complexify and limitates a looooooot of things

And for the money I have a day job so I’m alright with the bills … but if I can make something out of this game I will not say no

You should learn openGL !! OpenGL is really cool, I don’t regret at all my choice.

It’s really extraordinary what you have done with this! I was wondering however, how do you create your textures for it? They really look beautiful!

Thanks !
I create all the sprites using 3dsmax and/or photoshop. There’s not much to tell here, I just draw the textures using my drawing tablet or the mouse I used to draw a lot some years ago, so I know quite well the tools ( check my old website for very old drawings … ) 3dsMax helps a lot to have nice and accurate precalculated shadows for the objects.

Awesome, thanks! You’ve inspired me to make my own top down shooter so hopefully a pre-alpha stage will be up here in a week or so. Good luck on the greenlight, I voted for you!

@Slyth2727: cool thanks for your vote

For those interested, I’ve created a soundcloud page with the music tracks of the game, I’ll update it each time I will create a new track
Here it is :
