your explosion could use some work...
make the velocity of the particles get smaller while they fly out, it makes it look more like an explosion I think. It will need LOTS of tweaking that way though, until it looks real good:

void explo_event(PARTICLE* p)
{
p.alpha -= time_step*5;
vec_normalize(p.vel_x,p.alpha*p.skill_a);
p.size += time_step*2;
if(p.alpha <= 0)p.lifespan = 0;
}

void explode(PARTICLE* p)
{
...
p.skill_a = .5;
p.event = explo_event;
}

Other than that, very impressive coding. I'd really like to know how you got the blue beam working. is it just s streched sprite/particle? cause it looks real nice, better than mine for sure :P
Nice ragdolls, they look much better now!

nice, like your nades too.

very nice. i think ragdolls should move/fall a bit faster.

other then that...progress is clearly visible

oh sorry.. i actually posted a slowed down version of the video so its actually alot faster... i was just showing the ragdolls movements.. lol, i couldn't have made a game that slow.... and the beam is a stretched MODEL... i haven't started working on any visual effects yet so they will all look better, i'm just getting the framework down...

but it looks nice!
cool ragdoll and nice weapon effects!

I watched your video, inferno. Excellent work! I can't wait to see this when you're artwork is finished! Looks like a fun game, to say the least!

For the FPS vs. 3PS debate:

I think FPS is best for games that focus primarily on shooting, guns, and military simulations.

Games that have a lot of fighting, hand to hand combat, melee attacks, and more arcade style games (like GTA) are best in 3P.

P.S.- Your laser guided rockets are awesome!

ima copy that post over to that thread, thanks though... not moving to art yet but even so, other aspects are looking alot better...

How long do you need for programming this game?

Looks very very nice for Lite-C free

couple years actually, took a while to learn the basic and i'm still working at learning more...
