Hello everyone!

I'm taking a mini break from my 3rd person shooter before I tackle some heavy stuff, but I couldnt help but play around in gamestudio . Ive been scaling back many features of the 3rd person shooter, in order for it to eventually be done. Then Ive come to realize that I wouldnt have anything to show for my game dev career So just for fun, let me try to actually finish a smaller game!

Here is a WIP of Sargeant Rampage, a 2d top down shoot em up! you control a little dude shooting stuff! The level is read from a notepad, and tiles and static objects are loaded in dynamically. Im going to work on weapons and a simple AI next.

It looks nice, old school style. I'm looking forward for a demo

Are you still woking on your 3D project?

ty 3run!

Yes! Ive worked too long on the game to drop it. I actually work on it about 3-4 times a week outside of vacation and other business. At the moment I'm trying to integrate the cover hugging behavior into the AI. I actually have it working and will make a video about it after next week (PAX seattle!)

That's great to hear!
Seems that you work on several projects at once!

Pretty nifty! Nice name, too.

Great !

ha i like the graphics.. really old school design Do you plan to integrate at least basic "physics" (e.g. destroying objects like those trees?).

The explosion should be a little bit more spectacular (at the target).

Hey everyone, new progress on the game.

There are AI's you can fight and kill, new weapon and bullet effects, new player sprites!

Not bad, but I find it a bit too rstricting to have only shooting directions. Why not implementing a free 360 aiming?
Would give the player more mobility, and I would prefer a bit slower paced gameplay... they are not running anymore, they are flying literally. A bit more strategy...
