ExAS is an Experimental Aircraft Shooter, wich is still under developement, but due to the lack of time i had to work on it lately i decided to open all servers for public, this means you cannot only play, but host whenever you like.
The game is pretty self exlanatory; its a fast placed arcade shooter in wich your only goal is to destroy all of your enemies. Please beware that this is still very buggy, so dont freak out if the server fails or something liked, the goal of this beta state is simply to wipe out as many bugs as i can find, so i'll be more than glad to hear from you experiences, or suggestions!

Client + Server Download < Only if you want to host
Latest version: 1.1 (30/06/2011)

On the latest update; 1.1, I parsed the server to C++, this does not only make the server faster and less CPU consuming, it also reduces the lag drastically in comparission to the old GML server. Please feel free to try it out and host, im really curious on how this will work!


Note: To host you will need to port forward, i am not here to explain you how to do it, there is plenty of information around the web already, and specially on this forums, so please, if you do not know how to open your router's ports, reffer to Google or PortForward.

This game is great, I wish I made it.

Some questions though, on how you did things.

What did you use to store ranks, and accounts?
Did you use the mySQL database to store that?
Or registry values?

[Manuel777]

Accounts and ranks are stored in the registry, else i should make a register and login system.. i could, but i like it simple

For team matches you should make the jets colored

[Manuel777]

For team matches you should make the jets colored

Maybe you should make jet engine speed accelerate to full power and decelerate to off instead of just on off. That way it would feel a little more realistic

overall fun game add powerups and such and unlockables

Yea i love this game its fun, but whats with the single player?

[Manuel777]

Yea i love this game its fun, but whats with the single player?

Singleplayer is still under developement, the main problem is the AI, but thats something that does not require as much testing as the Online mode, so ill wait until i have it complete to make it public

[santa22]

One suggestion i have is make it show right next to the server how many players are on.

[ydawg314]

Yeah it would be nice to see whos on. By the way anyone want to play?

[Manuel777]

One suggestion i have is make it show right next to the server how many players are on.

Added, any other suggestions? (asides the ones discussed in-game) im trying to pull as many features on the next update as i possibly can, since the new server is not going complatible with the old ones

[santa22]

Not that i can think of right now.

[Manuel777]

Updated with version 1.1, a few fixes on the client and an entire rewrite of the server on C++! download links on hte first post, enjoy!

[borut]

Must say that I am very impressed on a idea! Simple,awesome and online... Something that deserves 10/10!

[True Valhalla]

This was great fun to test with you, will also play this one tomorrow and see what's new!
