=============EDIT===============
I didn't want to make a new thread, so I'm just updating this one with some new screenshots and info about the new version. Version 0.6 is finally out and now it has vehicles! They're like... almost exactly the same as GTA2. But better because you can shoot out tires and your allies can ride along as passengers who can do driveby's out the windows. This new version also has countless other improvements that really just make the game feel a whole lot more polished.
The other major update in this version is the addition of the accounts system. This means that on servers that support it your character's skill unlocks and progression are permanent. No more starting all over again from level 1 each round :)
The final thing I'd like to add is that the netcode has been improved a lot, and with a larger (and growing) playerbase, you're more likely to find a full, smooth and enjoyable server to play in. We still don't have that many players yet.. but it's just a matter of time.

===========/EDIT==================
[b]HELLO![/b]
I'm posting here because I've spent the last 20 months or so making a little PC game called [url= http://subvein.net]Subvein[/url] and I'd like to share it with you. It's a hobby of mine and I just released a new version and I'm pretty excited to play it with new people and get some feedback on it. We're mostly experienced gamers here so I'd greatly appreciate your opinion on the game, how it can be improved, what you'd like to see next.. anyway it's really fun and if nothing else I think you'll enjoy yourself.
[b]ABOUT THE GAME:[/b]
[url=http://subvein.net]Subvein[/url] is a top-down multiplayer shooter with guns, skills, missions and more. Imagine the vehicles and top-down view of GTA2, mixed with the intense online action of CS, mixed with the strategic character building and skill selection of Diablo. Basically I've merged all my favorite games into one SUPER game.
It's online, free to download and only about 20MB so you can start playing in minutes. Everyone here should get the hang of it quick because the controls are very similar to CS.. WASD to move, Y to chat, E to pickup weapons, etc.. you log in and start off fresh at level 1. You press B to buy your gun and get to killing people! As you kill people you'll gain experience and mutate, which allows you to invest skill points. You simply press N to open the skill selection screen and you're presented with a wide range of skills to choose from. Invisibility, Bullet Time, Self Repair, Venom Shot, Blade Fury.. the list goes on. There are a total of 33 skills in the game and over 20 weapons. You choose your skills and the cycle continues, pwning noobs all the way. Subvein has a number of game modes including popular favorites like DM and CTF, and a build in map editor so there are countless map to choose from.
Go to [url]http://subvein.net[/url] to download it now!

Anyway, that should do it. Go check it out if you think you might like this. Remember it's 100% free and downloads in minutes. As mentioned before I'd really appreciate your feedback and hope to play with some of you soon!

Enjoy!!
Ben.
Looks pretty nice.
Looks good I'll check it out
hehe, glad you like it :)
I forgot to mention, if anyone has any questions about the game or the development of the game I'd be pleased to answer them.
Looks pretty nice.

A skill to get companions/party members would be awesome. I'd be :dance: if there were these 10v10 battles in the lobby with intelligent AI using cover and helping teammates out.
[editline]10:17AM[/editline]
Or atleast a party of 3-4 helping you
Gotta check it out later. I've already once tried it but there were no players, seemed great though.
Looks fun, btw nice adverting :v:
It was pretty fun, only that there aren't that much players and more experienced players have an advantage.
Also it could use some cool ballistics ala Soldat with ricocheting bullets and whatnot.
It's a fun game but needs balancing. Full regen makes you practically invulnerable.
Whats it made in.

So basically it's CS2D, but using that shitty rpg mod? Wow... Just wow...

I'd say it's better than cs2d, and it's very soldat-ish.

So you're saying you die in one shot and it's a platformer?

You getting that from where?
The aim and shooting (and gore) feels a lot like soldat, and I really can't see where you're coming from.
ps stop trollin me it hurtes my feelings
Looks like a fair bit of effort has been put into this project. I will have a gander when my shitty internet stops being capped.

I'm getting that from the fact that I play Soldat...
Well no shit the aiming and shooting feels like Soldat, it's kind of hard to have 3D aiming in a 2D game...
ps opinion is troLOLing
ya dont get killd in a few hits in soldat my friend won the best unknown player awards at r/s community n i watch him play often i would know

maybe you didnt read
tro[b]LOL[/b]ing
but i'm actually serious, my friend's a champ at the r/s community, he held the leaderboards for weeks a few years ago and he won the "least known best player" award or whatever.
i like to use my friends to boost my ego. just lookatit, it cant fit in the room anymore
I really hope you don't mind, but I stole your entire post ben: [url]http://www.thecouchonline.net/index.php?showtopic=2153[/url] If you want me to remove the post, let me know.
I'm in class at the moment so I can't really make my own in-depth review or whatnot, but it looks pretty nice so I think I'll try it out when I get home from work later tonight :)
So it's the good version of Counter-Strike 2D? Sold.
This thread should be marked to show exactly what a "Check out my game" thread should be. It has pictures, good descriptions, basically everything I would call an A++ thread. Good Job OP, you've given me hope for the new members.
Hey again, glad to see so many of you are enjoying the game.
As you can imagine it's pretty hard to get players for a game with $0 advertising. Especially a multiplayer only game which really needs other players to already be there to have fun. Still, it's growing slowly.
mtheone, I not only don't mind if you post about it, I greatly appreciate it! The more people who find out about it the better. Afterall it's a free game, so it's win/win. Your link wouldn't work for me though.. says "Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken."
Thanks for the feedback too Zezibesh, Regen may indeed be OP. At level 10 it provides +7.5hp/s.. hard to say, because in actual combat it might not make much of a difference. Eitherway I've included an automatic updater which will allow for quick and easy weapon & skill balances in the coming weeks.
For those who asked, the game was coded in C++ and has been in development for about 20 months so far.
and thank you Specter, I agree :D :D It's a nice community.
Reminds me of Crimsonland.

i flaunt my friends "skills" to increase my e-peen with out actually having proof too
That looks really nice!
should have a zombie mode where the survivor only has a pistol, ammo is scarce, and everything is nearly pitch-black, save for a couple lights here and there. maybe a flashlight that you have to frequently find batteries for.

You's trollin'

You are such an idiot. Not only do you suck at trolling, you try to look cool by copying what Boxee says. Those videos stopped being funny a few months ago pal, time to change the avatar and move on.
Content: I actually like the game, but I still like the weapon system cs (and cs2d) uses more.

It's funny because you think I'm trolling and you think I "copied" Boxxy by saying "You's trollin". It's even more funny because you say the videos stopped being "funny" a few months ago, but they were never funny. Grow up kiddo.
