Hello, this is a game I am making. It is inspired from an old arcade game called Gladiator.
It has innovative gameplay with only the mouse movement. No clicks, no buttons. I am very proud of it because the gameplay concept I had in mind worked very well.
In a couple months I should be able to uppload a playable demo. It is great fun to be making such a game ! It has been my dream for a long, long time.
Although there are no upgrades in the player, his weapons, shield and armor can be destroyed but also upgraded with random powerups, so that you end up with a different crazy “version” of him each time you play the game.
Also, he is driven by the mouse, ie the animations are not pre-recorded (nor the enemies, they can strike at any height at will).
can you make a video of this ? You can use bge.render.makeScreenshot to screenshot every frame , then after use ffmpeg to convert all images to a video
Yes. This is a side scrolling game and I wanted to make this game
before I had even laid my hands on Blender and even perhaps Blender had
even existed. Blender just happened to allow me to make the game of my dreams a reality.
A 3d version of this game would be a completely different game.
It is important to build the idea that strikes you most. Personally I like 2.5d games best
(that is, 2d games implemented in a 3d engine, like this one, or like numerous
top or side scrolling shoot em ups, etc).
