Version 2.0 is here!

It comes with some cool features!

Blow up your enemies!

Use the ground mines to set traps, seed terror within your enemies with the hand grenades or stop them with your rocket launcher <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":twisted:" title="Twisted Evil">

# We added a level to show how to use ground mines and grenades.

Player death is now... dramatic <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Now you can see your own dead body for a few seconds before the level restarts.

Ammo and weapons are now independent

If you find a box of bullets, it will be useless unless you get the corresponding weapon <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised">

Reduced reload time of all weapons

The reload times used to be too long, not anymore, all weapons' reload time have been reduced by 1 second.

Now a just picked weapon will be already loaded

Whenever you got a new weapon, you had to wait for it to reload before you could use it. Now it will be ready to use.

If you bought any previous version, you can download now, if not, what are you waiting for? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8-)" title="Cool">

Great template. I am looking to purchase today. Any chance on a mobile button version template for phones. Waiting for your reply. Thanks again.

Hi yousicc, sorry for the late response.

Indeed I'm planning to do releases with different topics:

• Menus: Main menu, save/load and checkpoints (implemented, waiting for docs to be released)
• Feedback: Feedback to the player, that is, sound effects, bleed, may be some animations...
• Controllers: Joysick, touch controls.

I'm also playing around with the creation of a new template which recycles a lot of things from this one, the Side-Scroller Shooter template: Here's a video of the experiment:

Great on the Touch. I will be looking forward to this. I will check the video now. Thanks

Hi all,

I know it's been a long time without updates, I've been busy these months. Anyway, I still working on this template and its brother (Side-Scrolling shooter template).

Here's a demo with the last in-dev features:

https://jeydotc.github.io/construct2-ga ... cepts-Dev/

To summarize: It has some sprites changed, added music, some sounds, characters bleed, some small AI adjustments and added optional war fog. You can see these characteristics through the game and the war fog at the new level which has been added right before the weapons showcase.

What's next? I need to update documentation... that's a long and boring but absolutely necessary task. Once done and fixed any bugs I find out there, I'll publish this version <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Let me know what you think.

Happy new year. Thanks for the ongoing updates!

Version 3.0 is here!

So, what's new?

Now characters bleed when receiving damage!

Player and pistol men objects have new animations so they are better place holders.

Unified PlayerGun and EnemyGun into a single Weapon object. This makes creation of new weapons less cumbersome.

[quote:3ih2v5cd]Note: a consequence of this is that you cannot switch weapons while reloading, that will be fixed when I add a "cancel reload" action to jj_Weapon.

Added some sounds:

• Weapon shoots
• Bullet impact (on characters only)
• Doors opening/closing
• Health picking up
• Ammunition/weapons picking up

Added music: This includes a new trigger that changes the song when player collisions with it.

Added Investigate behavior! When enemies see an investigation subject (like blood, a dead body or an explossion) they will go to that object to check what's going on.

Added war fog! With this feature, you'll be able to hide parts of the level to the player until it goes into the room or touches a special trigger that makes the room get revealed. The war fogs are squares, but they can be grouped so you can hide and show rooms with any shape.

Added new level 04-Hideout right before the weapon's showcase. This shows the new Warfog feature.

Switch weapon on ammunition depleted: Now when player uses all the ammunition of a weapon, it will switch to the most powerful weapon available automatically.

Added multiple door open styles.

Pistol men LoS is proportional to Weapon Zoom Rate.

Created the Settigs sheet. For future settings menu.

Added Exit menu to allow player close the game.

Added object bank: This is a layout which sole purpose is to hold all game objects so C2 will have somewhere to take default values from.

Added a secret level select: If you press | (or namely, the button at the left of 1 in the alphanumeric keyboard), a dropdown list will be displayed, allowing you pick any level.
