It's 2D platformer shooter, can be played with up to 8 players over tcp/ip. The graphics aren't that good I know !

The person is doing the sprites for free because it's also his hobby so I can't blame him. Anyway I think the graphics are actually ok, I don't have high standard like the average teenagers of today.

The game will feature many modes and a singleplayer campaign.

Enough chatting here is a video :

The video is kinda old, we improved ths explosions fx and flamethrower fx. You can see the new fx if you hover your mouse above the "medias" button of the flash file on the website.

The official website : http://badgame.hopto.org/
and forum http://tabuche.hopto.org/badgame/forum/

So I am making it with a nice engine named Game maker. The engine has it's own script language. For those interested, here are some snippet of code :

http://www.gmlscripts.com/script/draw_rectangle_dashed_color
http://www.gmlscripts.com/script/instance_closest_approach

Anyway I need to use a lot of dll to add more capability to the engine like fast networking, streaming of music files or sound volume based on 2d distance etc.

Info on the gameplay :
On multiplayer, you have a maximum weight of 100, you need to choose your guns from a big list (50~~ guns) and a spec (shoot faster, regeneration, etc).

We will probably release a demo once we are done with a few of the singleplayer missions and we add more maps for the multiplayer. (expect maybe 2 weeks)

Well thats it for this obvious publicity post :bang:

The only one of these I have ever played is Leiro X, which I would play with some friends during lunch at school.

Anyways, we would play with infinite ammo and no reload. They rued the day that I discovered the power of flying saucers...

I would enjoy playing this, but TCP/IP gives me trouble. Namely, finding a person to play with, since there aren't public lists.

If I had 7 friends IRL this looks like would be a lot of fun to play...I say we organize forumfall sessions of this game, because it looks pretty freaking epic. More interesting than most 3D FPS games.

Thank you.

I might make a lobby where you can see available tcp/ip games or something but I wouldn't recommend playing with strangers because the game is vulnerable to hacks (nothing that can harm your computer tho). I wanted speed over anti-hacks systems. Beside, I may just make a ban ip range feature or something. The game also works best when everybody is under 250~~ of ping.

It works over hamachi if you have any problem port forwarding.

Just a note : Only the host need to portforward, other players can join without problem if they have the ip of the host.
