When will it be up? Looks like a great game if its based on REO.

Also you should post pictures, and possibly make it downloadable.

Ok game plays great. Stamina is annoying though, is there a way to spare by just walking?

Only thing this game really needs is a bigger player base, haven't seen anyone else playing besides me. Also the bugs seems a bit weird, perhaps in the future some better looking bugs could be used? And perhaps at browser help page there could be a bit about the enemies and what each one does.

Edit: Actually I looked but this game doesn't show up under actions or fangame when searching, this should probably be fixed as people can't really find this game otherwise.

If I get host files for it, I can host this just about 24/7.

We are currently updating the game again and hosting it on a 24/7 Dedicated Server!

New update just released:
  • The Morita Rocket Launcher ammo stash was increased to 3 up from 2. It probably still doesn't net as many kills as other special weapons but has amazing utility on the battlefield. Nuke em' Rico!
  • The 2K9 heavy handgun is purchasable from the shop for 2009 dollars. (this is a reference to the SST:New Years 2009 Event) Some of you may remember this as the 2009 New-Years Pistol.
  • Specials(grenades, mines, etc...) are no longer usable while in the start room.
  • NPCs now properly fire Morita Rifles. NPCs have gone mute for the time being until we find some SST dialog.
  • Frost grenades no longer share the same sound as the nuke (Rocket Launcher).
  • Some lines of text that come up from dying have been modified to be more realistic or make more sense.
  • Warrior bugs now have a low chance to sprint(move two steps for only 1.25x the time this is effectively + 60% speed), this sprint chance goes up if they are wounded.
  • Because of the recent game mechanics added to warriror bugs (big buff) to make them more interesting, their base damage has been reduced by 25%. This may be tweaked further.
  • Bug damage is no longer rounded to a whole number, to be more fair to some bugs' damage mechanics.
  • Lost blood no longer magically comes back from an adhesive bandage.
  • Because you can no loger get lost blood back from bandages, the % blood loss overlay changes do a very dark red (to simulate blood clotting) when you are no longer bleeding.
  • Submitting a suggestion now comes with a sound.
  • Laredef created a newer start map.
  • Laredef fixed some blockade and NPC issues on Outpost 21.
  • I'm looking into updating some of the icons and animations. Especially the models of guns when held in a player's hands.
  • You now have to spend one "walk cycle"(a single push of an arrow key) turning your character if you want to move in a direction you are not already facing.
  • You can now shoot your attachment and shoot your vehicle weapon while you are reloading your primary weapon.
  • Marauder "ramming damage" has been greatly reduced. You can still pump out a lot of damage by ramming, you just don't one-shot things anymore.
  • Warrior bug tossing has been brought back from the code graveyard. Yes it is OP and yes it is probably very buggy, report any you find. I like this game mechanic so let's work out any kinks.
  • All audio files are in the process of being converted to ogg format. This will make filesizes smaller and allow the game to become more platform independent.

    I am also working on getting a BYOND Membership so I can promote the game and actually be listed on the Game Feed.

    Thanks,
