Project N.o.r Arena Shooter

Post by Sebastian Lawe »

I've been working on this project for about a month now, and THE CORE GAME is essentially done. From here on out, its polish, and bugfixes.

Theres no killing other players, only completing objectives. To complete these objectives, theres teleporting, EMP Grenades, Stunning, and spawning blockades.

For the past few days I've started working on a new game project.
The goal is to complete objectives before any opposing bots can (other players).
The tools? Stunning, creating blockades, and pushing back enemies with waves. Unlike conventional FPS games, there is no killing of other players. At most, an 10 second stun (which is the closest thing to respawning you'll have).

Heres some screenies.

It looks pretty cool, but I'd have to see a video to figure out how it actually works.

Some AA would be nice, but it's looking really good so far. I hope its a fast paced arena style shooter. The world needs some more arena shooters.

Yup, I'm certainly going for fast paced arena style combat. Though, completing objectives will be the main focus.
Your tools only exist to deter the enemies from completing their objectives, and to further progress on your own objectives.

Backstory/theme will be that these matches between bots are "competetive problem solving tests" by some robotics organization. They'd never want to damage their expensive equipment.

Yeah, just need the excuse as to why robots are even in a room together, fightning eachother.

Edit:
Added an Alpha CTF download to the thread.

Yeahhh the Mac version crashes instantly every time I try to open it. I'll give the Windows version a shot on my Windows partition when I get the chance.

My only thought, is the game uses a DirectX library for controllers. Allows me to do things like rumble and such. Although, I have no clue if Mac uses or supports DirectX.
