After what seems like hundreds of hours of experimentation, frustration and swearing I have come to produce the first playable version of "Double Life", a top-down sandbox shooter game.

Explore the urban environment, wreacking havoc and living a life of crime or policing the streets as the hero of the people.

tried it out and it would be nice if the player faces the mouse, so I don't have to press left or right for a long time.
also I don't want to press space bar a lot.
nice game play also I stood there and the guys just got right were I am and started to spazz out!

From creators124's response, you should change space bar to mouse left button. And you should have to player point to the mouse if you add those, I'll play it Sounds cool by the way. You could add a story to this game if you really wanted to, kinda like skyrim? Maybe..

[Creativita]

Thanks for playing my game. I will quickly change the coding and then upload the game again.

EDIT: I have uploaded the new game file with the changes you suggested.

Alright, cool

[creators124]

I played it again!
anyways it was nice but the sprites were sort of bland and not much going on.
also the enemies still spazz out when they reach the player x,y!
same for character except when the player hits the mouse's coords!
I need to know my life please, and enemies!

[Creativita]

Sorry, I didn't know what you were referring to as "spazz." I will fix that right away.

The sprites are relatively temporary and will be replaced as the game progresses.

I was simply going to depict the character as a "clean slate," without history or other such information. You, the player, may then establish the personality and behaviours of the character as you play, allowing the interaction with the game world to become more intimate and unique. I may even create a "character building" system which may "write" a profile of the player with information regarding his personality, actions and so on.

The enemies are "criminals," hostile NPC characters who will attack the player, civilians and police officers on sight. The criminals will often form groups or "gangs" within certain regions of the map.

thanks for the info!
also another feature is a health bar for both enemies and player!

[Creativita]

I have fixed the problem with the player/enemy interaction. Both the enemies and the player will stop moving at a certain proximity but are still able to rotate. I will upload it again.

Health bars may not suit the game style and "mood." I am also going to use a "blood-on-the-screen" effect whent the player is hit.

yeah sure even though I'll like to know how much I have left before dying.
I'll play it!

[Creativita]

Perhaps I could use a combination of both.

Are you suggesting that the health bar flashes above the player when he is hit? Or something else?

[creators124]

the health bar flashes for 10 seconds above the player!
anyways cars and cops as allies and maybe multiplayer?

That isn't a bad idea. I may add it to the game.

I am creating a "reputation point system," throught which the player may reach positive or negative reputation by performing certain actions. Through reputation points the player may become allied with either criminals or police officers and recieve various other benefits.

Multiplayer would be suited to the game. I may incorporate it after I have completed the primary aspects of the game.

You might want to consider changing the name, as there is a game named "Second Life", which is similar to "Double Life". Other than that, the game looks cool!
