Havoc FPS ; a game i am developing

[luke2006]

Hi! It's been a while since I've done any game development. But I'm back, and I've just gotten started on Havoc FPS, a 3D multiplayer online shooter, with a big focus on customisation. You'll be able to select weapons with tonnes of attachments, and equipment, too. The arenas you fight in will be built by players in a powerful level editor.

There is now a website, too!

Screenshots from (slightly) earlier in development:

At the moment, there isn't much to show. This post is just to generate some interest. It's early days as of yet, so if you have ideas or suggestions for features, please comment (either here or on the website; see the Contact page). Thanks!

Hmmm, certainly a good idea. You can see the vague design for characters in that bottom screenshot. I could possibly add customisation for hats and such? But it won't be extensive, considering the low-fi graphics I'm working with.

Keep in mind that it's just me working on this game, not a full team of professional developers!

You on indiedb.com?

Also, Pyramid head and a big *** sword.

No, I'm not on indiebd.com as of yet. But I've bookmarked it. When I have something more substantial, I'll definitely post it there!! Thanks for the link.

There might have been a conscience design choice, but the feet seem a bit small for my liking. It's your call, but having a large round body with small round feet looks a bit wonky.

Well I was going to make my input be "please don't make the color scheme different shades of brown" but seeing the model you're using for characters in that bottom picture has allayed my fears of that happening.

Sounds like you have some pretty big plans. Just don't fall into the trap of biting off more than you can chew. Sometimes being too ambitious can kill a project.

One thing I can't help but notice is that the size of the head is huge compared to the body. Wouldn't that make the game too easy for snipers? I'd adjust the proportions a bit.

Hmmm. The characters have a kind-of Rayman thing going. EDIT: Actually, better example/likeness:

That's Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide. THAT is what I was going for. Do you guys like, or no?

Also, I'm not sure about having a damage/knock back bonus for head shots because of this design.

And shades of brown? Hehe, I'm going for a more cartoony thing. Actually, I've managed to make it look kind of comic book recently... I think it looks pretty cool!
