  1. Greetings my fellow papayaposters,

    I am back from my journey. In case you were wondering, after 2 years on SPC I went to the mountains searching for the gift from gods to bring back to king @moonman and his kingdom. During this time my evil clone @shpufeff has been taking my place. In the mountains I encountered the Wise Men who gave me what I was seeking.

    Today on my 100000th post I present this thing called "Siege at SPC" which is a video game created in celebration of this nice lil website. It can be found here:
    https://shp.itch.io/siege-at-spc

    The game is a 3rd person 3d shooter with online co-op play (single player is also there), and it has been designed to be playable even on high pings (across continents). In this game you defend the Pile of PHP Garbage from the attacking Extinct Mammals. The game comes with Windows and Linux builds, both can be found on the itch io site.

    The archives contain the dedicated server binaries if you want to host your own dedicated server, but someone nice also hosted a server for me, so if you want to hop in and play with others, connect to this address 185.53.131.134
    OPSEC DISCLAIMER: if you don't want the server owner to connect your nick to your ip address, don't use the same nickname in-game, or use a VPN or something.

    Huge thanks to @lebronjames75 for helping with the music and also a lot of playtesting and balancing help.

      1. @shpufeff Additional information, the engine I used is under GPLv2 and the gamecode I wrote is under MIT, so it is free software, not sure how much of a hurdle it is to build everything yourself though.

    7. @shpuld @moonman @lebronjames75 @shpufeff can we make maps?

      Wednesday, 31-Oct-18 21:33:59 UTC from shitposter.club
      1. @rw @moonman @lebronjames75 @shpufeff yeah you can, but there's a few quirks to make them work, and the game at the moment is a bit hard coded to just cycle between the two. v103 features: mapping guide + user defined map rotations

        1. @shpuld @moonman @lebronjames75 @shpufeff this game could rival killing floor tbh

          Thursday, 01-Nov-18 05:33:58 UTC from shitposter.club
          1. @rw @moonman @lebronjames75 @shpufeff there's some similarity for sure, but it's doing a bit different kind of a thing with the base defending and way faster paced gameplay

    9. @shpuld Oh you're alive again! this looks amazing, definitely giving it a try as soon as I have a bit of time from exams

      1. @nerthos ye I was waiting at 99999 until this thing was done w, hope you'll have fun with it

        Thursday, 01-Nov-18 05:17:52 UTC from shitposter.club
        1. @shpuld If you're the one to beat my cross-instance postcount, after this I won't mind.

          1. @nerthos probably not gonna happen in a while w

            1. @shpuld Well over the last two years you've been posting at about 8 times the speed I've done it.

              Thursday, 01-Nov-18 05:23:12 UTC from shitposter.club
              1. @nerthos well I guess, but it's also slowing down

                Thursday, 01-Nov-18 05:25:11 UTC from shitposter.club
                1. @shpuld Fair enough. It happens to us all. I probably did my first 100k within the first two years too.

                  1. @nerthos next "milestones" are so far away there's no point caring about the numbers

                    Thursday, 01-Nov-18 05:28:51 UTC from shitposter.club
                    1. @shpuld Agreed. First you care about each thousand, then 10k, 25k, 50, 100, and then you see it'll be >2 years until 200 or 250 that you just want to take it easy

    10. So the game is about 3600 lines of QuakeC code, written in about 1.5 months, a small amount of the art and sounds were taken from my older games but most of it is original for this game created during this same time span
