New Project "R41LS TD"

The Dutch Game Maker Community organises every so often a contest, and for the first time, I'm going to participate in one. 'GameMaker Wedstrijd #24' is all about games that can be played with only the mouse and the Left Mouse Button.

It is currently called 'R41LS Turret Defense', simply because the enemies move on rails (and because it is a TD). Here's screenshot taken after only couple of hours work:

I hope you're liking it so far, more information and ofcourse a beta download will follow.

Server Problems Solved

After some problems with servers and portforwarding nonsense, I've managed to get it all running again.

I've been spending these last few week mostly on conlanging, but I'm now back on track and working on the matchmaking system. The next version will hopefully include some form of FFA (though probably buggy as hell).

New Weapon

Here are two screenshots of the new weapon:

 

Can you guess what it is?

 

Anyhow, I'm trying to keep working on Moonlit continuously, but there are only two weeks of school left, so I'll be quite busy with writing reports etc.

After that, I will probably have loads of time.

 

I'll keep you up to date.
