Poppenkast release

Project Hotseat is a game that I've been working on for quite some time. It is played by 2 players on one computer, with the goal of killing eachother as much as possible.

The focus on the game lies on weapons, and so far, it has 50 of them. Ranging from homing rocket launchers and cloaking devices to gravity mines and laser rifles, most of them are over the top. Killing is not hard, so there will not be any situations where one of the players has all the powerfull weapons and the other hasn't got a chance.

Everyone can carry two weapons at a time, and switch between those. Also, jumping on your opponent damages him.

The focus does not lie on presentations, the graphics are simple, and there are quite some debug controls to play around, and no fancy menus (yet).

Instructions:

Player 1:

wasd move

g shoots

h switches to second weapon

j jumps

Player 2:

arrows move

enter shoots

shift switches to second weapon

control jumps

DEBUG STUFF:

q chooses room

e gives weapons

r restarts

t chooses speed

space spawns weapons

f4 goes fullscreen

f5/f6 saves/loads

f1 shows this info

escape quits

Demo:

Old Screens:

If you've got any friends who like such games, try it out, and I can assure you that you'll have a fun time.

Tried it. I don't like working with other people's scripts.

Then play around with mplay if it makes you feel better.Though I'd highly suggest against that

Though what do you not like about using 39dll,the part of using someone else's work or the part about learning new functions?

Hotset would be better online I admit, or at least use the guns for BM
