Hello!

HOUSEWARMING

Introduction

I've begun work on my first game, a tactical 4v4 game in which a procedurally generated 2D house is presented to the players, 4 inside, the Occupant team, and 4 outside, the Invader team. The Occupant team is given a wide selection of traps, the Invader team a wide selection of offensive weapons.

I hope planning to be essential to successfully pull off a perfect invasion, with lots of items, buffs and unlocks to be found as the game continues.

Please give feedback on how the art looks, I hope I'll be able to update often!

Edited from last time, the first prototype of the house that'll be release 1!

Release 1 will not be procedurally generated. My main aim first, is to get mechanics sorted, movement and gunplay are key.

A new shoot animation I added in! I have to tweak it a bit then implement damage. Thanks to the GifCam software recommended, I can show you movement I've implemented!

Considering you're showcasing pixel art, it might be a good idea to capture this scene as a .png, not .jpeg.

[takadai]

Thankyou!! I've reuploaded a .png version to show it off.

A quick mockup in engine as to what a part of a house could look like inside, including basement level tileset.

My plan is for r001 to not include procedural generation, instead creating a single house to test my mechanics and get platoforming, as a prototype.

Here we are fellas! It looks a little empty, but it's the first release's house prototype. I need to start engineering door switches to access all the different parts of the house, but there are 7 possible entry points for the Invaders I see~



Let me know how you think I could improve it!

This sounds like a lot of fun! Really like the art! One question, what are the red outlines on some of the objects, like the tables and lights. Do those represent interactables?

Looking forward to seeing more progress! :D

Thanks for the response, man! I'm trying to use the same technique that Metroid games did to show the difference between the background and the foreground.

However, these items are interactable, one particular trap the Occupant team can set is shotgun shells fitted to a light fittings, dealing AoE damage when an Invader runs underneath it.

Ok, that makes sense. That sounds like an interesting trap! Will the Occupants have weapons to defend themselves with as a last resort, or will they have to rely solely on traps?

I think it'll be necessary, definitely! I'd like the focus to be on defensive and offensive teams, but with enough room for poeple to be creative in the way they invade/hold out.

Weapons for the Occupant team is an interesting thought~

i really like the look of this game and i think it would be very fun :D i wanna see more!!

Thanks for your support! I hope it can live up to your expectations haha.

Gunshot animation has been added, but I don't know how to show you guys through gifs. I'll work on getting that soon.

If you need GIF capturing software, try out GifCam. It's really simple, just resize the window to fit your game, click the "Rec" button and then save it. Let me know if you need any help with it!
