Old:


I started making this game to test my skills in sophomore year of high school, and I just recently graduated. I've been working on it on-and-off the entire time. I've just got back into working on it a lot recently, and wanted to see how people would react.

It's a 2D Shooting game is a sidescroller perspective. The multiplayer lan component of the game is basically finished. I doubt it would work over the internet in this state, but networking is hard and I'm going to work on it.

There are several game modes:
Free For All: Deathmatch, Flagtag(This gamemode is taken from GE64), King of The Hill
Two Team: Deathmatch, Flagtag, King of the Hill, Capture the Flag
Four Team: Deathmatch, Flagtag, King of The Hill
One Team: Cooperative Mode

8 Equally Different but Balanced Weapons
Chainsaw, Ak4, Orb, Shotgun, RPG, Grenade Sprayer, Railgun, Machine Gun Mount

(http://i44.tinypic.com/w9wnqw.png) (http://i43.tinypic.com/21kjzol.png)

3 Powerups
Ninja Rope, Moonboots, Invisibility

Misc
4 Types of AI (soliders, helicopter), Exploding Barrels, Rocketjumps and Bunnyhops Encouraged, 4 Maps

The biggest problem I have is that I love to program, and I want to focus on it. I'd like to have people help me out with the graphics so I can make the game more fun. I'd also like to have people test it, so if anyone would be able to test the game with a few friends let me know. If you think you could help me out with graphics, or maybe make a map, that would be fantastic.

This level can also be played co-op.

Heh, I recognize that piece of ground in screenshot two from Super Mario World.


Looks pretty rad. Reminds me of Bionic Commando (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando_(NES)) and Commander Keen (http://www.idsoftware.com/games/vintage/ck-vorticons/). ;)

Yeah, that's one of the things I need to change. Haha.
I might throw together a demo if you guys would like to try it out.
Thanks for all the compliments.

Dude totally epic. What did you use to program it (language) and engine??

I know everyone's going to get upset and tell my why I shouldn't use it, but Visual Basic 6.
I developed the engine from scratch, the engine itself is actually pretty complex. I took lots of inspiration and ideas from the source engine. For example, sprites are loaded from scripts (this allows from animation, transparency), Input/Output triggers like hammer, tracelines, etc.

In fact, I'd love to try out the demo! And no need to thank us because I feel that we all know you did a great job and deserve this.

Anytime you want to post a download link. And IMAO, the textures need a lot of work.

I'll be happy to help with graphics or anything.  I'm pretty mediocre when it comes to texturing, but I can do somewhat decent UI design.

That looks suspisiously like a game I saw someone playing/coding at Bridgwater college back in about 2002/3... and that was in VB6 as well!!! more clues I hear you ask? Greg is God.

That's quite the coincidence.

I'm fixing up the first two singleplayer levels, I might have a demo in the near future.

Inverted; we need to get together and discuss the possibilty of what Spider and I have been talking about doing for awhile now. This might be a good place to start. :)

Are you good at making sprites with paint?

I use Photoshop because it allows you to blur images at very low resolutions. Really help brings out the color and smooth out the rough edges.

And the work continues...
(http://i49.tinypic.com/es973o.jpg)
Ive been trying to update the graphics slowly, it's my least favorite part of making this game. I'd really rather focus on the code but I know that no one else will have the same drive to get it done, so I'm probably going to have to do every pixel. I found one part of the 2d design to be extremely fun for whatever reason, making my characters little hats:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/4q4sqb.png)
That's not all of them, I'm up to 30 as of now.

As far as the code goes, I added tons of new things. Bug fixes and hidden design features mostly, I added some new powerups too. Once I get one level up-to-par I'll release a beta for people to play around with.

hah nice, i enjoy seeing that you stuck with this :P epic dedication, ill sure to play it when you release the level.

Looks really fun, great work!

I'm sure there are some free sprite/pixel-art resource websites you can find... just like you can find free texture websites.

Wow, 8bit music and all :P

The gameplay reminds me of Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi for the Gameboy, mixed with the 'destruction model' from Worms ;D.

*Me wants to play*

looks fantastic, but it´s a little bit confusing sometimes, ´cause your enemies shoot very fast so that you don´t have the chance to get out of the way of their bullets
