Black Vacuum Gameplay Prototype

[Puzzlemaker]

Greetings!

Puzzlemaker here.

I made a gameplay prototype for a mod I am calling Black Vacuum. Takes place in space.

Download Here

The maps in there are a little funky, so don't go near the corners.

Tell me what you think of the gameplay, what could be improved upon, ect. If you guys think its a good enough idea, I will work on it some more.

Oh, and one more thing: I can't host, so your going to have to host your own server n stuff.



Basic Idea:

Your in space. You have a lasergun and a missle launcher. You can zoom with both of them by using alt-fire.
Once you fire a missle, you can make it explode in midair by clicking again. Also, once it explodes, it fires off shrapnel in front of it. Think of it like a missle-shotgun, very deadly.

Thanks to:

Ennui and DeadlySniperPie for helping me with the maps
QReaper, Nightraider and Rift6 for helping me test.

Sounds interesting. I'm gonna have to wait until I get back before I can comment further. You might wanna talk to the Eternal Silence II team about space combat for the Source engine for some additional advice if you haven't already.

Its a lot diffrent from theirs; Mine isn't based on vehicles. You actually just jetpack around in space.

No available download servers bub. I'll share some of my bandwidth if you can get me a copy of the mod.

I'm more worried about getting the mod done then getting a pre-alpha gameplay prototype out there.

Imagine a black void with a fullbright sandbox. That is Vacuum.
