Hi folks,
I'd like to present you my newest project: "Survive!"
Please keep in mind that this is an early version, the grafics are ..well.. basic, and a lot of features are still missing.
Official Server online 24/7 (Location Germany).If you get "no server found" after clicking "join official online server", it's not available.
Opening an joining LAN servers is now possible.
The idea: You and the other players are trapped in a desert. You've got 80 seconds to build up a defense using some old crates, after that you'll be attacked by endless waves of monsters.. First, it's only slow mummies, but it's going to get worse! Good thing you brought your weapons with you.
New update:
I've released Version 0.57.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IQ6UZ6AOIf no new enemies are spawning, enter "/catch" in chat (without the ""). I'll then get a bug report. only use this when the bug appears!Changes from v 0.56 to 0.57- tried fix "stuck on waves" bug,
but it might still be there
- added some debug info
How to Play, quoting the readme.txt
- start the starter.exe file and enter your nickname and the other options
- press "Join official online server"
Note that currently no more than 8 players can play at the same time.
The game will then connect and start. There are two phases in this game. You can enter an already started game in both of these phases.
1. Build Phase:
Place barriers in the level using your mouse. Try to build a wall around the player spawn area!
2. Fighting Phase:
Waves of enemies will come and attack you. You are advised to stay behind your barriers.
When reaching a certain amount of "points" (indicated in the left upper corner)
new weapons will be unlocked. Be aware that the enemies get stronger with every wave.
Additionally, the waves will never stop. So try hard to survive longest. If you die while others
are still fighting, you have to wait for them to die. A new round will start after the scores
have been shown to all players.
Key assignments:
W-A-S-D: Move the player or camera around
Left mouse: Shoot or place barrier
Right mouse: Remove last placed barrier
r: Reload weapon
1-5 and mouse wheel: Switch weapons
Enter: Chat
ESC: Quit
Good luck!
Hint: If you are on your own, a good defense should look like this:

Technical details:- uses the native 3DGS network engine (direct play), no plugins
- should be playable with a latency up to 200 ms
- up to 30 moving attackers at the same time,
dplay_entrate is set to 2
- max 8 players for now
Known Problems:- server has "phantom" players on it, because num_clients is inaccurate. this is a known bug of A7.77 and A7.80 Beta
- because of that, new rounds might start although there is no player. if you start in fighting phase with no defenses, just get yourself killed. a new round starts after that and you can build.
Planned features: look here I'd be happy about any comment on the game or the gameplay,
but please, don't spam about the graphics.
Hope you have some fun,
