This isn't exactly going to be very proffessional, but it is work in progress so I thought I'd show you a little video of me playing. I havn't done a title screen because I always do that last. It's probably not gonna be finished for a while, but I just want any ideas for game play such as missions, etc.

Also the idea is partly from Mickm's 2D top down - pedestrian killer but mainly the idea is from GTA 1
Hope you don't mind Mickm.

Sorry if you can't play this video, I've got win media player 9 and it works for that

Here's the video:

No problemo
The video looks pretty cool, are you going to have the enemies be able to get into other cars and shoot you/run you over?

Yeah, it has no slowness AT ALL it is at the default 40Fps rate and it never goes below that more than 1Fps

The bullets are 2D dots, but the rest is 3D so it shouldn't go slowly.

Update:
When you kill people they fade away and respawn. They drop money which you can pick up and it shows how much money you've got.

Also, what I'm quite pleased with is a collision detection for the car which uses sine and cosine to work out if a point is within an oval area which rotates with the car! :



And it was my idea!!!

Just watched the vid. Looks good. Reminds me of GTA 1 & 2 (much better than the others IMO). Is it going to be mission based like GTA, or mission based on a smaller scale-level based rather than freeform?

If you haven't decided yet, then I'm going to recommend the second option, at least to start with. All that media is going to take ages to make as it is.

If you're going to include cars, it goes without saying that motorbikes are essential



I'll keep an eye on this, I'm looking forward to see how it progresses.

Thanks Yes, I was going to do the second option, but when I've done all the main stuff, I'm probably going to expand it some more.

At the moment, I'm working on an arms shop, so you can buy weapons. One idea I had was that when you complete a mission, it tells you a password that you say to the shopkeeper so that you can buy illegal weapons. If you get it wrong, he will attack you!

Update:
There is now an arms shop where you can buy weapons!
I've got ten weapons so far, but only two legal ones.
For the others, you have to put in a password which you will be able to get when you complete missions. Each weapon has a price and ammunition, which gets used up. You can now attack with melee as well as guns (you start with nothing).

At the moment, I'm working on some mafia guys who will attack you if you do stuff that their boss doesn't like

Here's a screenshot

How do you get it to appear on the post, if it's not on a website?

Edit:
Grrr... That stupid trial thingy made it go white!

If you shoot one of them they run after you and have AI to shoot you When you shoot one of them they die and turn into a bloody mess on the floor, which never fades away.

The proper screenshot is attached

You want a sync rate of 100 or 60 but 1 fps 1 fps is reallllly slow

Sorry, I mean less than 40 by 1, so it never goes below 39Fps
I wouldn't be still doing it if I got 1Fps

Here's the new video!

Where it says Enter password, it's only grey 'cause I don't want you all to know the password that makes everything free

Also, if anybody has any ideas for the shop, it's boring and black
