No, no, please go on
Thanks for your comments. I'll try to improve the camera movement.
As you guessed, most of the code is WIP, including the climb code.
I am doing everything at the same time, and if I don't get crazy maybe I can finish the project code soon. At this very moment I am just making the Sound part of the code, then i'll go on with the climbing code.
This game is about demons, planes, dimensions, reality and dreams. In my ambitious plans, you will be able to play the role of 3 different characters along the game. These three characters have even opposite goals sometimes, and they end up linked in the story.
This is an adventure game with a good deal of action. There's this thief-like spy girl ala dark angel who uses all kind of gadgets, then there's a old style detective, and this character, which is a half-breed human and demon.
What I intend to do is some kind of 'megaplaying' code base. Characters are able to jump, climb, balance when holding on pipes, jumping from one hanging pipe or pole to another, climbing up and down ropes and cables, swinging ropes to jump farther (like tarzan or spider man).
Also, characters will be able to hold different weapons with different hands, and use the left and right mouse button for the attacks. Even a melee and a ranged weapon simultaneously.
The player will be able to swing weapons freely in different angles, driven by the mouse force X and Y and the different buttons pressed. So you can swing two swords alternatively or try to hit the enemy with two swords at once. Or you can shoot your (left) gun right after a (right) sword swing.
Over it, there will be attack gestures for melee weapons. For instance, custom attacks when you draw a 'S' or an 'O' with the mouse, while holding any buttons.
This is limited by character abilities: the girl doesnt use fire weapons but a crossbow, including 'rope arrows', and has the ability to use about anything as a melee weapon. The detective is good with old style guns and shotguns. The demon doesn't use weapons at all.
The demon, however, has unsurpassed agility and strength so he will be able to reach some places without any hardware, and his claw attacks are powerful.
Ideas, ideas...
It may look like an overkill project.. but what encourages me is that I haven't found any real difficulty so far. I'm very pleased with C-script and I found a solution for anything I wanted. Everything I just said is in some stage of development.
I think I will eventually have to gather a team for this project, but I had no luck so far. Something tells me I'd better have a solid project before I can gather people that is really interested in working together.
So, onde você está no Brasil?
