Multiplayer Online Flash : Combat Online!

Posted by Coolio-Niato - February 2nd, 2008


>>> Update XceeD has exams and game is being delayed god dammit. Still about a month till. In the meantime im working on a music-platform game, so thatll be out soon.

Well it's been under the covers for long enough. XceeD and I have joined together to create a flash of epic proportions. Combat Online, our first multiplayer online game that will be submitted to Newgrounds.

Combat Online is a real-time fighting game inspired by the genius workings of Tom Fulp on Castle Crashers. It features 8 different types of characters to choose from, 4 that are unlockable, as well as features a point system that allows you to unlock new weapons and characters. You can play in teams or all for themselves.

The 7 characters working now include:

Mage
Warrior
Archer
Ninja
Miner
Necro
Tech-Geek

Combat Online lets up to 4 players go head to head in a fun cartoonish battle of skill and button mashing. Whoever comes out on top scores a nice sum of points while the others get fewer (if any).

XceeD has been coding the Multiplayer side of things and I've been doing the engine itself as well as the graphix.

To sum up, here's a small (VERY VERY LOW QUALITY [sorry] ) demo vid:

Looks nice, but a little too much like Castle Crashers.

Well if it was BASED on it, it had to have some similarites (mainly only in the mage)

Wow. That would be awsome to see the completed version of that. It looks like it would be fun to play. Oh, and since you have an archer in there, this will become an instint fave of mine. xD

Archers are sweet =) They can shoot both fire and normal arrows, as well as set down hard-to-see traps that set you on fire.

If I may, what are you using to get it to be online? <-<

SmartFoxServer (which is gonna cost us a LOT)

looks epic and i agree with Imacow, reminds me of castle crashers, if that was your goal, then ok cool

yep.

Looks sick cannot wait

ok.

Man. Your awesome. This looks so fun!
When can we expect to see a finished product?
Which parts of this porject are you working on?

I can't really say a date yet. We are hoping to get it out within a month, but you never know. Right now I am brainstorming ideas for the last character and XceeD is fixing up some glitchy things for necros and ninjas.

Nice Design but the mage looks really cheap in gameplay cause you can just keep casting your spells and he wont touch you

But mage's attacks are all short range. Any enemy with long range attack can take down a mage no problem.

Looks dope man :D

Very dope =) Thanks.

Hi there, Coolio-Niato, nice game your working on. As everybody says, it looks a lot like Castle Crashers, but also like the game Little Fighter II, a free game where you play with several chibi like guys and you beat them till death.

Also I'm wondering, is it possible to play multiplayer next to each other?

But I'll wish you luck with the making, good luck!

Little Fighter 2 I've seen a friend play a few times, but gameplay-wise it's not so similar, mainly attacks are very different.

It's not gonna be one of those things where you have to buy it to get full contents, is it? I'm also curios to know how exactly the score system will work (will it be like the higher rank, better weapons system in Call of Duty 4) or will it be different.

No it'll be free to play most likely. The score system with be a simple thing. You gain points for winning higher places. With those points you can unlock new characters or buy new weapons specific to characters. The weapons look cooler but also have slight stat increments (not enough to be total rapeage but still a reason to get new weapons).

OMG!!!!!! FANTASTIC

OMG THANKS!!!!

this game looks really intence!!! any idea when it will be out??

Can't say for sure.

That looks very good! I didn't see an MP bar, is it unlimited magic/special?

Yea unlimited. It's all based on skill. Different attacks and skills take different times to activate, and so you have to really use the skills your character type has to your advantage.

Looks great, but how will you afford that smartfox server?

They look bloody expensive.

We'll figure it out.

This game looks awesome
i've always loved your rythem games and now this?!
i cant wait untill you can get this thing finished

Awesome. Well lately I've been trying to experiment with different game types (eg. Paint Wars, Color Defense, HalloweenGameCollab07). Rhythm games have just been a fave of mine, but this was pretty fun to animate and code as well.

looks good!

Thanks =)

wow! it looks smexy!i cant wait!

What's the eighth character gonna be? Some kind of music-based class?
I hope that the Mage, Archer, and Warrior are the starter classes, since every game seems to have them. I would be willing to put up with ads if it's free. As for hacking, I know a friend who hacks flash games. The main method is called cheatengine, and there are alot fo ways to find and then alter variables. Another program is called Flash Hacker 2.

w00t looks great!!! release it as soon as possible!! NINJA TIME!

looks like an awesome-ass game in the making!!!
