deathmatch!

so Ive run into a little bit of a snag. I've been working on a game that is very much inspired by the semi famous 2d shooter SOLDAT, which is an online competitive game that I spent a lot of time in high school playing. Which finaly led me to looking into how well game maker can handle online multiplayer, which it can, the problem being it takes working with an external library and basic networking knowleadge...which I do not have. So basicaly im putting progress on hold for a little bit to see how realistic it would be to try and learn this in a few days to start working again. If I can't, I plan on backing up the files I have as a placeholder for future research into it, and continue on with what I've done as a single player or possibly 2 player split screen co op thing.

It wont be quite what i wanted, but its still something right now.

Until the decision is made...

...its too dangerous to go alone! take this!

workin hard!

So I've done a ton of work. I have nearly finished mouse and keyboard controls. Two weapons that can be picked up, switched between, and thrown away. A shotgun that fires like a shotgun, and an SMG that has a high rate of fire but a large spread at a distance. Most of the art is placeholder, the only thing Ive done art wise that im fairly proud of and keeping are the crates seen above. The character is hard to see with the tiny picture but hes going to have a lot of work done to him, but that's probably the general idea of what im going with. Just need to mess with colors and details.

The yellow dots are the shotgun shot, the crates are weapon pickups.  The gun is just a recolored SMG silhouette(i was being lazy). The art is being updated over time(when im sick of typing)

Intended Size. They are technicaly 2 different crates.

Thanks for reading. Should have even more to update on soon!

I also drew this. I just remembered...

Shotgun shell icon to overlay onto the crates...
