| Hey all, Long time listener, first time caller.. my name's Ben and let me start by saying hello.. HELLO! I'm posting here because I've spent the last 20 months or so making a little PC game called Subvein and I'd like to share it with you. It's a hobby of mine and I just released a new version (version 0.53) 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. ABOUT THE GAME: Subvein is a top-down multiplayer shooter with guns, skills, missions and more. Imagine the 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. The next thing I'm going to code in will be vehicles, just like in GTA2. It's online, free to download and only about 14MB 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. As of v0.53 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 http://subvein.net to download it now! VIDEO: Check out this Gameplay Video to see some hot Subvein action. SCREEN SHOTS:  Here you can see I'm using a skill called Bullet Time. You guessed it, it slows your bullets down.. matrix style. Quite a good defensive skill. You can also see I'm shooting at a couple of guys, one of which has cast the Blade Fury skill. You don't want to get near him when he has that on because it'll rip you to shreds.  In this picture we see one of the game modes called Extraction. It's basically the same as Capture the Flag, good fun.  See my sweet bazooka shot?? He thought he could escape me.. hah!  Another Extraction shot, this time extracting the Radio. Radio's are like flags but they're really heavy and slow you down. 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! Get it here: http://subvein.net Enjoy, Ben |
Alright, so I saw this advertisement on another forum, and checked out the game.
I was surprised by the amount of care and hard work that went into this indie. From the clever and unique game mechanics like the shadow/line-of-sight mechanic, to the "Friendly Fire switches you to the other team for a few seconds for appropriate Retaliation" Mechanic.
What really got me to like it, was that the creator was playing the game when I joined my first server. He immediately taught me how everything worked, and was an incredibly nice guy. Subsequent games had either him, one of his uber friendly admins (One of which is now a friend of mine =D) or a combination of the two.
What really distinguishes him and his game from others, is that it's obvious he made this out of a love for games, and a need to improve them. He made this game for Gamers.
I was in love with this game
