I just submitted it into the queue, and I'm pretty excited about it. Mostly because it adds a lot to the TDS genre that I haven't seen before. TS (The Shroud) is based off of one of my favorite games, Gears of War. You will be taking cover, using 'Dynaload' (similar to active reloading.), blowing up baddies and more. The WIP release only has one simple level that isn't even completed yet, but I think it should be enough to hold you down until I get to finish the level and add the beginnings of the split screen multiplayer.

I'm hoping for some online, but that will come with time. (I first need to find out how, then get it all to work.) I will be redoing the graphics possibly, but if you find them acceptable, I guess there will be no need for change.

Some ideas I'm having are of course, more weapons. But, I want the weapons to be unique. I'm thinking of adding a sniper rifle like weapon, a sort of killer boomerang, and more. I also want to add more types of cover, which will come with levels. A level editor would also be a nice addition.

I'm hoping TS will rack up a better score than my last game, Bland, which got a 7, much to my dismay. Anyway, I think that's enough for now, thanks, and be sure to check it out. It means the world to me. Peace.

Cool! Don't worry about the score system, I think someone goes around and gives people a low score…because for some games, the averages are brought down far to low compared to what people post.

Anyways, this should be fun, can't wait. You know, you don't have to wait for the queue right ;) cuz that may take some time. I'll try out your other game in the mean time.

I know, but I have dial-up, so it's an eternity before the file will upload again.
