Platformer Gamemode - Garry's Mod

[B]Garry's Mod :: Linear Platformer Gamemode [Only Just Started Development][/B] I started developing a liear-platformer styled gamemode for Gmod and wanted to share it to get any feedback/input about the idea and weather I should continue developing or not. Any potential? It could turn out to be a multiplayer 2Dish shooter with some custom built maps for it or a single-player gamemode (or both). I still haven't decided much. If I get good feedback, it will motivate me to keep working. I am also inviting any map makers to create this gamemode's very first map. Your name will be added to the contribution list and it will boost my motivation for this gamemode. I have setup a PayPal donation page for anyone willing to contribute. Your name will go into the credits of the gamemode as a contributor and it will help out a lot more than you think. You can donate with this link to help boost my motivation: [URL="https://goo.gl/cn0psI"]Donate Link[/URL] [B]YOUTUBE Preview[/b] [video=youtube;JnU-h1ffSqE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnU-h1ffSqE[/video] [I]This is not an advertisement, I am requesting input and feedback.[/I]

Looks really cool! It is a pretty unique idea to say the least. Are you planning to release the engine for others to use down the line? I have a few ideas and half-finished projects that would go well with this.

[QUOTE=DrVincentWolf;51760820]Are you planning to release the engine for others to use down the line?[/QUOTE] I haven't got many plans for it currently and haven't decided much. I may release it in the future but before any releases, a lot of work still needs to be done.

Okay. Anyway it looks really cool and I wish you the best of luck. I may be tempted to donate something when the project turns into something a little more concrete.

Thanks so much man, I still have been working away at it, even created a small map with slowly rising deadly water. I'll definately keep going with this project for a while!

With the maps, any requirements with spawns, brush locations, etc?

I'm sure there will be something like that, but nothing too required yet. I've made a map layout and if you are keen to start messing around with a design, I'll send it to you so you can get an idea of how it should be. Here is the map I starterd making and what I'm using to test on.

There are a few little things I didn't put in but hopefully this gives good you a view of my progress.[/B] ------------------------------- [img]http://i.imgur.com/xBRPaIh.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/WOxrGuB.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/xEXGwwU.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/e2hNIuU.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/YsYt4WG.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/sRzLHIr.png[/img]

This is slowly starting to look like a smash bros type gamemode.

oh nice, there was a similar gamemode like this for fretta back in 2010-2011 nice to see you develope something similar.
