Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: spengo on December 10, 2005, 09:14:00 am: Dr. Snipe

This is a demo of the first person shooter I am working on. It features:
-perfect terrain with lighting
-complex platforms
-jump/crouch and mouselook
-3D models with some animations
-vehicles
-wimpy enemies with very basic ai
-multiple weapons
-banana gun!!!
-fast bullets
-a bit of nifty overlay stuff

Title (pending): Dr. Snipe vs. Mars
Storyline: (pending)

Press F1 to view the help file and controls.

LATEST UPLOAD: NEW DEMO!!!

Screenshots:

To do:
-single player missions
-multiplayer support for up to at least 6 players
-more weapons/vehicles/enemies (duh)
-death sequences
-more animations
-perfection of the engine

Progress is slow at the moment because of school. I am a senior in HS this year and, contrary to popular belief, it is my hardest year yet! I am taking AP chem, Spanish IV, and AP calculus.

*please remember this is a very early demo, so don't expect to be too dazzled. Also, do not steal my models. This game has much copyrighted goodness.*

It's a pretty old upload- trying to get more stuff done like an actual map for the first level and more scenery and stuff before I make a new demo. Don't worry, the aliens will have ai next time.

Post by: necro on December 12, 2005, 01:00:00 pm: happy birthday spengo!

Post by: spengo on December 12, 2005, 03:34:00 pm: No probably not. This was meant to kinda be my final gm game. Somewhat to show that gm is actually more powerful than people think, not just a drag and drop thing for wannabe coders (though it DOES have this feature as well <_< ). After I finish this and GTAvocado I shall be learning C and C++ (and maybe some 68k asm :D ).

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 12, 2005, 03:46:00 pm: sound cool, I think if you code 68k you should stay with C' unless you want to make a FPS tho, because its a lot more easier and its very fast
Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: necro on December 12, 2005, 04:24:00 pm: cool to hear you are going to switch...GM was a neat idea, but it isn't fast enough to be practical for a lot of games

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 31, 2005, 03:50:00 am: How is the switch coming along?
Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: spengo on January 02, 2006, 08:00:00 am: Umm, I'm not switching this game. I'm going to finish this one in GML and then switch over to C and C++. I've already got the engine just about finished for this game in GML. Too much work to switch everything over. Maybe my previous post was a bit confusing? O_O

Post by: necro on January 02, 2006, 12:18:00 pm: Oh! Well, when you make the switch, will you make another FPS?
Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: spengo on January 02, 2006, 03:29:00 pm: Maybe. I was thinking of doing something for the 68k calcs though.
Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 12, 2006, 03:47:00 pm: O_O

Would you use the FAT engine for 68k?
Title: Dr. Snipe
Post by: spengo on January 12, 2006, 03:51:00 pm: Maybe...
I wanted to do something really simple and easy to make first though, to get the hang of C.

Speaking of calc games- *spengo goes to work on gtavocado once more*

Post by: spengo on January 12, 2006, 06:40:00 pm: Yeah, I guess so. I'll probably be working on it more again now anyways.
