I coded the basic engine behind the mini game, as it is now, all you can do is run around and kill a never ending flood of enemies, and try to stay alive as long as possible.

I think I'm going to break up the flow of enemies in a level system, just like in the Nazi-Zombies mini game in Call of Duty. And give the player a pause between the flood of enemies, to buy weapons, health packs, armor packs and ammo.

I also altered the enemies code a bit. Now when you start a level, the enemies start wandering around, instead of waiting in one spot for the player to enter a room.

And they can open doors, so you never really know where they are in the level, so it adds a bit more excitement when playing. They usually stay in the same general area, but because you can't count on them being in the exact same place every time, it makes it a bit more interesting.

I need to add a bit of menu stuff to allow you to choose to play in story mode, or mini game mode. When I have that, and the purchasable items implemented, I'll post a screen shot, or if I deem the new code to be stable enough, maybe a demo of the new stuff.

Wow I like how enemies can open doors

I don't think a lot of FPSes do that. It should add more challenge to the game and look a bit more realistic. Nice to see more progress on this

Nice job! It will definitely stay in my 89 after you release it ^^ Right now, I'm working my way in doom 89, but by looking at the screen shot and your features, I think yours is way more awesome!
Keep up the good work

thanks jsj795, that's very kind of you. I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Here's a screenshot of the new menu. Also it shows a bit of the minigame behavior. What you see is the basic functionality, buying weapons and such comes later.

There are a few restarts, because I was testing the menu system while making the screenshot, but you get the idea.

I love the little Radar on the upper left corner^^ Great job again! usually I don't play FPS, but your games are so awesome. I'm still trying to beat Doom89

Oooh I like it. Suggestion, though, I would make the menu takes the entire gameplay area because currently it leaves a small space at the bottom where you can still see the floor. It might be best I think if that part of the floor was hidden too since the menu alerady takes most of that screen area anyway.

DOA has seen a pretty good bit of progress lately, I've added two new levels, three new enemies, you can now get some items from the wall in the mini game (not completely done), the mini game now has a point system for each kill, and stage based enemy spawning, meaning it spawns more enemies each time it lets out a new wave, and has pauses between waves so that the player can buy ammo and weapons.

I still need it to cost points for the items you get from the walls in the mini game, so that it's got a bit more interest than just shooting everything in sight and getting whatever weapon you want. Also I need to add an item for the ammo for the revolving gun, as it is you can use that weapon, but there is no ammo to pick up, so it's useless after you run out of ammo.

I plan on adding a new weapon to the game, probably something that shoots projectiles you can see, I'm thinking something like an energy cannon.

The enemies I added are evil soldiers, and evil scientists, and a really tall robot thingy with guns. I'll post a screenshot when I get a chance. Basically before the soldiers and scientists were on your side, now some of them aren't. I plan on having a transition in the storyline explaining this later.

I'll keep you updated when I get more done.

Nice to see more progresss and I like how you're gonna have some plot twists.

I finished the new weapon, here's a screen shot of it in action.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #87 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:52:26 pm »

Nice job

Glad to see you still working on this ^^

Keep us updated
