Nice game! i really enjoyed it, but did find a few VERY annoying bugs though:

-after a monster level is increased it only shows up in higher level quests after it's killed. This can create very unpleasant situations, for example:

-you upgrade a level 1 monster to level 4
-the higher level chars wont kill it since it will still show up in level 1 quests
-lower level chars cant kill it and will all die

Apart from that something is wrong with level 24, chars got permanently stuck a few tiles above the stairs.

Owh and the continue option failed it just gives me a runtime error when i press it.

Hope you correct these so we can continue playing!

That's the screen capture program slowing stuff down, the game itself runs smoooooth ofc

I loved Cat Poke if i wasn't occupied i would have done it in XNA (lets you do windows, xbox aaaand windows phone) Good luck finding someone!

GAH!

Sorry to abuse this forum, but it's probably something you've experienced yourself.

...

That's allmost as annoying as people who disappear before you even start the project. One time this artist posted he was looking to work on a game so i responded, but after the first pm he went dead silent.. hey wait, wasn't that you?  

Anyways, in general i think ppl underestimate the ammount of work goin into making a full game. Somewhere along the line they lose intrest and out of shame or simple lazyness stop responding. I think everyone here had this experience, just dont give up and keep looking!

This is a video preview of the game so far, it shows some of the cemetery level and 3 of the 8 planned enemies that will be in the demo We still have to add a lot of the basics but i hope you like it. Feel free to post any comments!

This is looking rad

will there be multiple endings? I don't want to kill my brothers. I want to unite with them and become the all-powerful Philosopher's Stone. I want to fulfill my destinyyyyyy.

We're still far from actually putting in the ending  but multiple endings is defenitly on the table.

can't wait to get some feedback on the gameplay 

Well we did it the other way around, i actually started with the network code (using sockets and c#) and when it was working properly i started adding functionality to the game. The deadline did make us drop some features though :\

Pretty cool game! I only tried it by myself so far, but it would be interesting to see how it works when played properly. Also, I love the character select music. Very Morricone-esque.

Thanks! still you should try it with a friend if you're able, it's a lot more fun then shooting yourself. 

I... completely... didn't get this game... Maybe it's because the game window was too large for my desktop (I have 1366x768px screen) or maybe because the readme file was from another game.

Oh, wait... does it mean... me no fit?  Me no survive?

... i didn't understand the game either 

It started but I was unable to play because the host screen said "waiting.." ..." ..."
and the join option requires a host. nice menu ambience and camera scroll. From the screenshots it looks interesting to play. but whats with the mushrooms, quite something,
Big men, big guns and big mushrooms.
I'd be curious to see how other's review

Ah we should have added more instructions. it's funny, i think a lot of the games over here have this problem: because we tried it out so we forgot to explain the basics :D

it's a network only game, so one 1 person has to run the host and the other person has to connect (for this to work over the internet you need to use hamachi or forward a port on your router)


BUT if you want to check it out solo, you can start the game 2 times. In the first game press host then in the second game press join and connect leaving the default address in (127.0.0.1) This isn't as much fun, but you can atleast see what it's about !!

Really nice graphics, i enjoyed playing it!

Really original version of quake XD you should include a single player mode 2

Hi Glinka!

Thanks for trying out our game, you do need XNA, the url to download it is in the first post. (Or you can download standoff_publish.rar which installs it for you) Plse let us know if you got it working.

Good game Pencerkoff! allthough first time i played it i forgot to buy weapons XD i love that you allso put in a single player mode

Nice game! to bad i don't have anyone to try it out with.. so i ended up playing against myself  I'm curious, what programming language did you use to create it?

I'm uploading the game now   when it's finished the game can be downloaded Here

standoff-publish.rar includes a installer
standoff-release.rar is for the people who don't want to install it, for this to work you do need the XNA 4.0 framework redistributable installed, which can be found here!

Important info!!

i used port 1980 tcp for the server, so whoever is hosting the game should have that port open and forwarded in their firewall.

Standoff, by RSD, Ardent Sideburn and Vidvi

You forgot to mention you're working on it with 2 other people  those would be me for the programming and vidvi for the music and sound effects. We only heard of the contest 2 weeks ago but we've managed to get a decent ammount of work done! 

@everyone

Wow didnt expect to get so much replies. To bad there is only 1 serious reaction

@art
