I'm gonna warn you about XNA. Don't use it if you want to make a pc game. Its a great tool but the dependence on the .NET framework drives too many people away.

Its coming that was just a simple networking test.

Hey Chevy just wondering how are you handling what happens if two players both select the same space to move to?

Thanks Daniel. As for the gameplay I'm kind of working it out as I go but so far it has to do with trapping your opponents. I'll put a video up as soon as I get a playable build working.

I started working with and idea today and I've got some progress with the networking

(no sprites are final)

I agree Boris but you can make it such hell to do that they lose interest and give up.

Hey man looks great. For my game I was planning to use the Victorian Gentleman style as well though the game play will be very different.

It runs at 10-13 fps for me on my windows 7 running 64 bit laptop which is pretty new.

Hmm I must be at market level1 to view.

Need an artist interested in vector art. PM me.

Thanks Chevy, I definitely take you up on that!

- Like Pong, but with six shooters. 

- Pong, with six shooters. 

- Pong, six shooters. 

Yesss!

-It must be easy to pickup and play(no accounts, no levels)
-It will probably be turn based(no lag issues)
-It will be in flash so everyone can play(using Chevy's amazing flashpunk and player io)
-It will be 4 player
-It will involve money and lots and lots of top hats

Love the colors. Jjust yesterday my friends and I were looking for good mutliplayer games. Seems our problems will be gone after this compo ends!

Good luck to you sir I'll be looking forward to playing it.

For gm users I would recommend looking at the 39dll for networking.

I get an message saying that the page is invalid from swf cabin.

I like flash more than gm for a couple of reasons. Its free to develop for  ,its language(as3) is structured more like c++ with real functions variables etc, there are nice libraries for it such as flashpunk and flixel and finally the fact that it runs on all platforms really is a nice touch.
