Old Update!

Since the release of version 1.0 there has been a lot of interest in continuing development in this game, by the creators as well as by our growing fan base. MedO has done a few updates, and (after a bit of drama) we have added some new members to our development team, who have contributed some updates as well. The latest versions include new maps, a functional spy, more balanced gameplay, and mostly stable networking code.


Also, a big thanks to Zephro and Vaati for the updated versions,
and another big thanks to HELLTRIKKY and Stefan, and all the others contributing maps and art to this game.

This game is technically open-source at this point, so that those who are interesting in contributing will be able to do so. We just hope that if you want to work on the game, you'll stop by and say hi and discuss your plans with us here. We really only want one person releasing new versions at a time so that things can stay coordinated and organized, but if you think you want to have a go, just let us know and we can figure something out.


One last quick thing, if you are having trouble playing the latest versions (because they are buggy), don't be afraid to try version 1.0. It is the most stable version, thing's haven't changed THAT much, and there are still plenty of people playing it (I hope).

--First Post--
Yes, it's another Team Fortress remake.
Yes, I know someone is already working on that, but thanks to sick panda, we were working blind there for a few days.
Yes, ours is totally gonna be better.
Thanks for asking.

Myself and MedO are working on a TF2 bootleg demake as well!
Sadly, I don't have any pretty art to sell it with right this second, but you just wait, it will come, and you will be amazed!

Our goal is to get some actual internet multiplayer going and provide a super-fantastic online realm catered for those who want to work together and blow away their opponents in a 2d fashion.

More to come soon! just let me finish getting some artwork together...

[mrfredman]

Alrighty, first update! I've got all the sprites together so have a look!




Besides the fact that the demoman looks a bit petite, I think that they are pretty good to go!

I think we're going to be shooting for a slightly more detailed look then our buddies over at Buddy Base II, but overall, they may end up looking somewhat similar. I'm just hoping that we will manage to have more expansive gameplay, which should set them apart.

*fist shake*

Still, looking good. Sprites are more on-model than mine (though many more colors too). Also, I have no internet multiplayer

[Dugan]

groovey sprites - but where are the turrets? 

[Danrul]

This is looking pretty spiff.  If you have online, i might just have to make some babies. 




WIth you if you didn't know.

[mrfredman]

While I am always down to make babies, internet multiplayer rests upon Medo's shoulders, hes our programming man, I'm just doing the art.
So when the time comes aim your baby-makers at him!

[mrfredman]

I do believe that its time to give this thread a bump with some updates!

We have been making good progress in our quest for online multiplayer goodness, and while it is nowhere near ready for public viewing, we just held our first successful multiplayer test the other day! We still haven't quite figured out aiming or shooting, but we're making progress and that's what counts.

On the art/content front, there is also much to share. First of all, my first attempt at a background is done, and it looks pretty snazzy. I call it 2Dfort:


Its like seven times bigger in the actual game, but I figured I'd be a tease. I still have to fill in the background of the background, which makes me groan, but we've got the gamespace sorta worked out so we can start implementing all sorts of gameplay goodies.

I've also been working on all sorts of sprite animations, mostly boring ones for now; running, carrying the intel, etc. but once I get some fun death sprites together, I'll be sure to share them!

[Danrul]

Will it have mouse Aim, or is it fully retro?

[mrfredman]

Honestly, not sure yet. I think we're gonna try for mouse aim (or else how are we gonna do snipers?) but it may wind up being totally retro, or else with three directions of aiming (up, straight ahead, and down).

We're bending a few rules when it comes to retro/demake standards, seeing as no systems of yesteryear really had internet multiplayer, but we'll see what happens.

[Melly]

You could have a system in which pressing up moves the aiming crosshair up and down moves it downwards.

[Türbo Bröther]

You could have a system in which pressing up moves the aiming crosshair up and down moves it downwards.

Yeah, like Stick Soldiers.

[MedO]

I'm currently working with Soldat-style mouse aim, but using the keyboard to aim to give it a more retro feel could be implemented quite easily. We'll probably try both and end up using what's more fun.

[narasu]

For extra retro-ness, you should make people buy some weird extra adapter in order to play online.

[BeamSplashX]

Require a SEGANet account to play.

Ha, nice work!  i lov tha art so far,. just not sure if there will be enough movement options in the 2d map,. need to have a couple ways around and out of the spawns, .  good luck with this,.  also looks like it would make a decent 2d tower defence type game actualy,. all the different units,. and the spawn rooms asthe castles,. would be very diferent gameplay,. but may work if you can't get the 2d mouse shooter stuff to be any fun,. .
