Well, I've taken Sk8m8trix's advice and started work on a fun online FPS. It's called Insertion Point and it's a SWAT game. It's a bit like Rainbow Six or Counter strike but more realistic. You can take up to 3 hits, but you can't heal up. The effects of being shot go away after awhile (limping, bloodshot screen), though. No reticle, just ironsights/scopes. The cool thing is, is that it'll really make you not want to die. When you die as a terrorist, you respawn as a hostage/civilian. When you die as a SWAT, you respawn as a terrorist. Since you can't really play for a round if you die as a terrorist, it'll make you want to surrender (the game actually has a surrender button) where you drop your weapon and hold your hands up, where SWAT can then handcuff you. Being taken into custody makes you respawn as a SWAT. This'll force the players to make real-life decisions like "Should I get that headshot and take him out now (at the risk of having less team members) or should I shoot him in the foot then disarm him?" or "Should I give up and let my mates down, or should I go down fighting?" As a civilian you'll respawn to whichever team won the least round. This'll support 8 players hopefully over Reflect, and using the U3D dll it'll have better graphics than many other GM FPS's. It'll have normal deathmatch and team deathmatch modes, as well as bomb modes and VIP's, dont you worry.

Anyway, after playing through some of the games for the YYG competition, I was inspired to restart my entry. This time, I'll combine the two I had before into a non-linear adventure game. You'll be a thief working for an underground organization, and they'll send you out into the city to retrieve artifacts. You'll have to use parkour-style moves as well as some context-sensitive combat to complete your goals. Hopefully I can finish it in time.

I had my birthday last Friday. I'm 14 now.
