Here is when people were testing my last version Version 0.3





Now I'm currently working on Version 0.4.. as you can see the graphics engine has improved..





Landscape subject to change.. because I ordered 3D World Studio.. I'm going to try that..

I like the style of the island. What style are you going after?


System4 Studios(Posted 2007) [#4]

@Xzider: ?

btw, didn't you have a showcase for this game on BC? I strangely remember it from there. o_O


System4 Studios(Posted 2007) [#9]
@Xzider: that's scary man.. o.0


@Clown Hunter- I did have it on BC.. I had life work to finish so the project was an on and off thing.. but I brought it back last year and I'm updating as we go along..

Looks like you are dong a great job. It also appears you are using the FPSNet framework by Jeremy in the code arcs.

It's all nice, but I have tried to use that and every time on 4 different networks I had to open the appropriate ports in the routers due to their insecurity.

How did you get around that? Or are you plagued by the same thing?


Xzider(Posted 2007) [#11]
Wow...What the... I only posted once.

Sorry, must of bugged O.o Thats awesome. I edited to just dots instead of repeating parts of the original sentence...Sorry again. Moderators need to delete those posts lol.


System4 Studios(Posted 2007) [#12]
@CodeOrc- Yeah I used the FPSNet Framework that was based on the DirectPlay Engine.. To me I'm starting to dislike that technology because I noticed the more people in your host playing against you.. the slower/laggier the game will be.. I think with this version that I will be using the NetBlitz UDP Engine due to the fact the commands/functions are similar to the DirectPlay and it's UDP..

Here's a simple chatroom I have.. they can enter before joining or hosting a game.. (lobby)

What's the story behind Soul Shooter?


System4 Studios(Posted 2007) [#14]
@Chroma- Err...

Long story short.. The idea was brought around 04 when I was learning Blitz3D.. The first website (www.freewebs.com/soulshooter)

then from that time.. I just started to make next versions with features.. It's nothing big right now..

Lol...Murder Inc. I thought they died out?


LarsG(Posted 2007) [#16]
I like the Island screenshot.. :)


Xzider(Posted 2007) [#17]
I like the chatroom... Did you make the particles yourself in the first/2nd screenie? Pretty nice effects.


System4 Studios(Posted 2007) [#18]

Hmm, I created an account 4 days ago, just got my confirmation email.

I try to login and it tells me my account does not exist.

Not a big deal, but annoying just a bit :)
