Multiplayer Shooter: Progress Report

Posted by XceeD - August 3rd, 2007


Been a while since I've given a progress report on the game. Well, I didn't get too much done though xD!
There's still a bit more to work on before I can finally release it to alpha testing. Coolio-Niato already checked out the game and he thinks it's mad cool :D!

So, what have I done? Since the last progress report, I've checked for lag and fixed up in some areas. I made it so that there aren't so many queries that it spams the server like nuts also.

In-game, I've made several adjustments with the bullets and all, making them go further in distance. I've made the sniper zoom out a lot further. Bullets now hit the player. There's only 1 more weapon left to make also (which is nice!).
There's a small minimap now, but I need a vote on something:
Should the minimap SHOW ALL or should it SHOW HALF AND SCROLL or something like that?
Chatting works 100% now also :D!

Current Progress:
Login: 75% - Same as before
Lobby: 95% - Same as before, but the bug seems to go away once you enter a room and leave it.
Game Lobby: 85% - Same as before, and bug disappears same way like in lobby
Game: 50%
-Movement: 100%
-Shooting: 85% - You can shoot, you can get hit, but no healthbar yet.
-Chatting: 100%
-Weapon Manufacturing: 99% - 1% because there can always be more weapons!
-Graphics: -25% - Graphics suck xD! Coolio-Niato will be working on it though :D! I'm probably going to remove some particles effect because it lags a bit when there's a bit too much. Instead, Coolio-Niato'll probably have to draw animations of explosions :D. Looks better, lags less, my hope at least.

Well, the offer still stands about Alpha testing. Leave a comment and you're invited :D!

This is gonna be a flash?

Yes, it'll have standalone and on-browser versions.
Standalone for no lag but you'll have to re-download every new version.

Also me wanna alpha test!

Ok :D!

I say minimap should show all. That makes it easier. The game sounds awesome!

That's what I thought, for simplicity. Except Coolio-Niato said it should be scrolling.
~_^, glad you see it my way xD!

I wanna try this out, sounds pretty good, and a great way to kill the life that is known as time.

xD! You'll def. be in to test this out :D!

Scroll. That way, it'll scale to different sizes of maps better.

That is true. Except I thought no scrolling for simplicity.
I'll make it both ways and allow people during Alpa testing to vote. xD

But if you have non-scrolling, You can see more and if you have scrolling, it may cause just a tid bit more lag

It won't cause any more or less lag having it scroll or not. If you have it scrolling, you may be able to see everything clearer but you won't see the whole map. The main point of a minimap is to see it all, so that's why I figured have it to see all.

When I'm doing Alpha testing, I'll have it both ways and the players vote. Scrolling, non-scrolling, or have it in the options to change.

I HATEEE YOU!!!!! SOOO MUCH >:C, when i went to brag to danny about khao and I were going to make a sidescrolling online multiplayer shooter , he was all like m already making one. WTFFFF you guys suck. anyways i cant wait to see how yours turns out, were trying some dodgy things. khao says he can script some things but you know whatever. anyways ARES WILL BE BETTER I PROMIS YOU ;), good luck guys.

mmmm take i bite of our sexy graphics. YUMMAH

anyways count me in for beta testing.

xD!!!!!!! lmaoo.
You're like the second person that I apparently foiled plans for.
DonutMaster (I think it was) was making a game like GeoWars, but I released GeoWars before him xD! So I apologized about that.
Sorry for foilin your plans too :P. But I'm too busy to work on it xD! So you prob might beat me to release. Count me in testing yours too :P!

hehe, you are too nice man. anyways our games are probably going to be way different, just the sidescrolling shooting aspect will be the same

Woah, sounds rocking! I'd love to test it out!
