SHOTGUN FUNFUN ONLINE
Shotgun FunFun just got better...

Shotgun FunFun Online is as it sounds, an online version of Chad Chisholm's successor, Shotgun FunFun.
The original Shotgun FunFun is an arcade shooter where your are the sole survivor of a zombie demon apocolypse. you and your trusty shotgun which seems to never run out of bullets are faced against 100,000 zombies. your final score is dependent on both the time you survived, and the rate at which you **** up zombies.
For anyone who knows that Chad Chisholm released a .gmk version of Shotgun FunFun, know that i did not use that engine to create this, this game was made from scratch using a combination of Chad's sprites and My own. To be clear, all programming was done by me and unique games.
Another note, the online play is currently not working and all lobbies are filled with bots, HOWEVER, we are looking for 4 beta testers to help test the new online engine, to become a beta tester please contact Unique Games at: jacks-corp@hotmail.co.uk as a beta tester you will help to get this back online as soon as possible aswell as early access to the online version!

these new elements are currently part of the game:

Online play for up to 4 players.
New wide variety of weapons.
New zombie demon types.
Ranking system.
Headshots, Longshots, Melee kills and more.
different method of scoring

If you dont believe the game has changed, here are some screenshots to prove it:

Zipped link is broken. You're really on top of things today.

Edit: Very good AI. Despite of the bad advertisement, this is indeed an amusing Game Maker game. But I'll wait for it to hit online stage nonetheless. Which I originally thought it was (wonder why).

Now that you mention it, the other people's aims does rotate quite smoothly.
And they don't leave games.

"waiting for player" just ticked "ready" in the server.
Now I'm playing with BOTS whose name says "waiting for player" when I hover over them.. They are just as good as those with names?

ok i'll admit it, it is just clever AI. if you read the yoyogames page you'd know that already.
problem is i wanna just leave it for people to think its online, dont ask why, but i just do. if you feel i really must put that in the main post, then let me know and i will.
damn i thought i'd fixed that waiting for player glitch

I am disappoint.
Still, though, nicely made and I wish you would make a bigger map.

Enough said. I'm ignoring your future games.

Online game is offline game.

What the heck? A guy makes an awesome game like this, with AI that actually works, and you say you're going to ignore any more games he makes? o_O
Edit: BTW, p3bbles... I noticed that the servers don't appear in order. They appear in their preset places?

i think he's joking, but if he isnt... why so ignorant?
Edit: the servers are random, but when you refresh i got lazy and decided to just let them refresh were they are. you'll find if you reopen the game you'll get a whole new list of servers

alright, to be honest, i wanna test out how convincing my AI are. and its kinda hard to advertise a game playing with bots compared to an online game. and if you read the yoyogames post you'll read that a member by the name of unique games is currently converting it to an ONLINE state. so it will be false advertising for only a few days/weeks, however long it takes.

Edit: Don't even pay attention to this game. Read further in the topic if you wan't to know why.

Oh you, spoiling one. I wish I could -1' all your posts now.
On-topic, it would not take a hero to make this game actually online.

[Jobo]

so it will be false advertising for only a few days/weeks, however long it takes.

Once it IS an online game with actual ONLINE features, THEN you can advertise for it as an online game. This is NOT an online game.

If you must know, the AI is convincing when you aren't looking at it. I didn't realise it was bots before orange08 suggested that it was just clever AI. Then I looked at it's movement, etc, and easily noticed that he was correct.

Ask, "how convincing is my AI?" instead of saying an offline game is an online game. That's just not cool.
Why would you even want to try to take credit for something you aren't good enough to make?

Oh you, spoiling one. I wish I could -1' all your posts now.

I've had it like that with your posts since I started using the gmc, so don't worry about it.

wow, this is a much more unforgiving world than yoyogames.
can i just say, on yoyogames i easily got 8000 plays, and like 200 comments saying how great the game was inspite of the fact it was offline,and only 2 critical comments like yours. and here, well, the second person to view the thread is already having a go at me. is there anything wrong with trying to get this game some publicity before it goes online?
oh and you wouldnt be able to give an accurate reading of just how convincing they are when you know they're AI
Edit: the main post has been edited, it now says that the lobbies/servers are filled with bots.

Yes you can.

is there anything wrong with trying to get this game some publicity before it goes online?

Generally no.
In the way you're doing it; yes.

It's petty to announce it as an online game when there's nothing online about it.

Edit: the main post has been edited, it now says that the lobbies/servers are filled with bots.

I will edit my first post accordingly.

You're thinking a bit too much of yourself huh?
Go put 20 pages of flame on http://www.yoyogames...3-blobbz-online - it's not online and its featured. Forward.
Edit: Probably if I would put up a small project that ±succesfully simulated game with chat, I'd get trouble.

Edit (05:51 GMT+2)

Yellow, do you only troll and flame? Guy just made an online version of the game and gave credits! So stop crying now...

Notice that I'm not the one to spoil the fact (probably affecting download ratio of game), and force author to edit first post to spoil this. I'd prefer this to stay un-spoiled, so people could actually spend some time figuring out that game is not online, like they did on YoYoGames, and like I did before.

Edit (05:54 GMT+2)

Never seen that game before but unlike you, YellowAfterlife, I'm not going to make a post entirely based on a different game than the OP's.

Unlike you, I do not create two new posts merely to reply to my post.

Edit (05:42 GMT+2) On-topic (of replies that I should have added if).
The only visible wrong thing is font used - Arial seems to be a bit too simple choice for this kind of game. Also it's a bit un-aligned due to GM's rendering system (that can be fixed by compiling with GameMaker8.1)
Achievements, ranks, and stats have made this more fun and replayable, comparing to original game.
