So I've been getting down to work on my game, and i was wondering if there's any suggestions you might have for it, besides the fact the game's graphics are shit.
Here's some pics of the new menus:
Here's some stuff that some people requested a while ago:Now, you can tell where you were shot from by the blood that smears onto your screen, while most shooters in the gaming industry have this, i've oddly never seen this feature in a game maker tds before, so I'm interested in hearing some feedback about it:
Next small feature I've added is a Halo-style overshield, requested by Alert.(Looks 100x better in-game tho.)
Both features should make the game feel much easier to play, and much more like a pick up and play game.I've also made the Rapid Fire Rifle(the assault rifle you start off with), shoot a little faster, and gave it a small damage boost, which makes the gun feel much better and much more fun to use.Another thing is, that I've made the AI much smarter, one of the new things they do, is that they try to stay near you whenever you're the last two left, so that should also make the game much easier to play. =DAlso, gonna try to include an auto-updater for the next beta, so you can get the latest build of the game instantly.

Lastly, i've made it so when dirt comes on your screen from a nearby explosion, it looks much less like horse shit got splattered all over your screen. Now it looks more like smeared horse shit dirt.
So any suggestions, or anything that doesn't involve mentioning my shitty graphics? =D
I would provide feedback except I've hated every top-down shooting game I've ever played, sorry. Not to say your games gonna be bad or anything, just not my thing…
@linkthegoddamnninja again
I'd greatly appreciate it if you give me the autoupdater. =DI will give you credit if necessary.damn, why is everyone ninja-ing me right now?
@The AvatrolI understand the fact that many people consider topdown shooters to be a dying genre. So that's why I'm trying to have this game appeal to as many people as possible, I try to have many elements from other genres in the game, also, I'm always open to new ideas, I want a game that others could enjoy greatly, as well as myself.Fuck credit, I don't want any. XD
Well I'm away from my portable HDD at the moment, where it's stored, but I'll get right on that in about 2 days. :Dthanks a bunch. I will most likely give credit anyways. :p
@steven
ah, okay. I've actually thought about that several times during the development of the game, I was just waiting for someone to say something about it. I will try to make things more obvious between the two.@The Avatrol
Also, I would love to hear some of the reasons why you don't like tds games. Maybe I could find something to improve, avoid doing, or something I could do to make it more appealing.Is Rambo Fox still up for doing the graphics?
He's acting like an ass, he hasn't got on in months now, everyone else who wanted to help me, has already or they're still in the process of doing so. It's delaying some of my plans for campaign, and I'm beginning to start improving my graphics on my own.
JID where can I get the current build? :)
