I totally forgot that I started a devlog! The game is finished:

"we replaced the bucket tool in MS Paint... With a gun!"

I kind of dig it

What so ever. Here is the Todo-list before I start with content:

• a more simple generation of indoor level geometry
• refactoring collision detection
• Jumping
• Gravity
• Exchange GL_TRIANGLE calls with vertex buffer objects
• a flat 2D horizon
• text intro
• kill statistics
• faster weapon switch
• doors that open automatically
• at least one special effect with the OpenGL Shading Language

You are back, cool beans. The escape from the prison cell tutorial was very cool.

Thanks! Our company has short-time-work because of corona and I wanted to use the time and update the old engine and make a sequel. I would not have the motivation to start from scratch without any content. The animation of the weapons and enemies took me nearly two years.

Well, I've forgotten to update the devlog. The game is released on itch: https://gamesthatcouldbeworse.itch.io/kill-commando-2

It was an interesting project because I implemented shaders and framebuffers for the first time in a game-engine. I 've written glass reflections, mirror effects and refraction for the detonation blast.
In part 1 I decided to reduce the scope and focus on game-logic but since I recycled the weapons and enemies I had enough time to concentrate on the openGL part.
