It would be the better option to make a simple external server program, but you really don't need to, this very game is an example ;)

what about a LAN only game? would i still need a sperate server program or hamatchi to host a LAN game?

ahh

I thought you were asking how to start an online game lol.

Btw in order to make an online game you'll need servers (that need to be manteined) and non-gml scripts to get them to run as you want them to, it's not a feat a single person can achieve i believe :(

I meant like a tutorial or something

Well, you either play on a LAN network or you open a port in your router and connect to that, like we used to do in the 90s ;)

how do you make a multiplayer game? (without having to use hamatchi)

I'll look into adding that and some more things as soon as i'm finished with my main project ;)

i have played the gamejolt version and i quite liked it, i'm also making a 3d engine atm and i know the pain of implementing of vertical view but this game doesn't need it in my opinion. The only small addition i would do to this game are a melee weapon since you are very quickly out of ammo

I really want to play the multiplayer version of this game

Lurk Studios problem is Gamemaker Studio is a 2d Engine,vertically looking would be hard to code.But without that it has a old school feeling.So that doesnt really matter

Almost everything here is a placeholder, i'm just focusing on the multiplayer aspect right now; thanks for the feedback btw! :D

Things that could make this game better:
-Looking vertically not just horizontally
-Updated Art
-Limited Ammo
-Updated Font

But this game's physics are pretty solid. Looks good dude!
