Hey all, Long time listener, first time caller.. my name's Ben and let me start by saying hello.. HELLO! I'm posting here because I've spent the last 20 months or so making a little PC game called Subvein and I'd like to share it with you. It's a hobby of mine and I just released a new version (version 0.53) and I'm pretty excited to play it with new people and get some feedback on it. We're mostly experienced gamers here so I'd greatly appreciate your opinion on the game, how it can be improved, what you'd like to see next.. anyway it's really fun and if nothing else I think you'll enjoy yourself. ABOUT THE GAME: Subvein is a top-down multiplayer shooter with guns, skills, missions and more. Imagine the top-down view of GTA2, mixed with the intense online action of CS, mixed with the strategic character building and skill selection of Diablo. Basically I've merged all my favorite games into one SUPER game. The next thing I'm going to code in will be vehicles, just like in GTA2. It's online, free to download and only about 14MB so you can start playing in minutes. Everyone here should get the hang of it quick because the controls are very similar to CS.. WASD to move, Y to chat, E to pickup weapons, etc.. you log in and start off fresh at level 1. You press B to buy your gun and get to killing people! As you kill people you'll gain experience and mutate, which allows you to invest skill points. You simply press N to open the skill selection screen and you're presented with a wide range of skills to choose from. Invisibility, Bullet Time, Self Repair, Venom Shot, Blade Fury.. the list goes on. As of v0.53 there are a total of 33 skills in the game and over 20 weapons. You choose your skills and the cycle continues, pwning noobs all the way. Subvein has a number of game modes including popular favorites like DM and CTF, and a build in map editor so there are countless map to choose from. Go to Subvein.net to download it now! VIDEO: Check out this gameplay video to see some hot Subvein action. SCREEN SHOTS: And here are a few screenshots describing what's what: Here you can see I'm using a skill called Bullet Time. You guessed it, it slows your bullets down.. matrix style. Quite a good defensive skill. You can also see I'm shooting at a couple of guys, one of which has cast the Blade Fury skill. You don't want to get near him when he has that on because it'll rip you to shreds. In this picture we see one of the game modes called Extraction. It's basically the same as Capture the Flag, good fun. See my sweet bazooka shot?? He thought he could escape me.. hah! Another Extraction shot, this time extracting the Radio. Radio's are like flags but they're really heavy and slow you down. Anyway, that should do it. Go check it out if you think you might like this. Remember it's 100% free and downloads in minutes. As mentioned before I'd really appreciate your feedback and hope to play with some of you soon! Get it here: Subvein.net Enjoy!! Ben. Edited by: bencelot

why doesn't if have a moddb link? It's always interesting to know the engine and some development shot. I played it and had fun, just moving feels a lot more like gliding than walking, though, admittedly, it's hard to simulate walking in 2D, top down. --

In your forum post you have done everything right e.g. Good grammar/spelling, including videos,intro'd yourself (makes you a more likeable person) and the list goes on except the best way of advertising on MOD DB is not to make a forum but to make a MOD page. I was on subVein just a couple minutes ago and it was as populated as a Hannah Montana movie with only boys allowed. So now the only way to get this game back to semi populated (the same strategy older mods use) is to have a weekly allocated time where people go on e.g. 7pm tuesday nights, EST. Like what I said before the easiest way to do this is to make a MODDB page (but because the game is already made all you'll really need is the content on your forum post) and with that MODDB page you put the news saying that insert time and day of week here is the weekly subVein game night. If that did happen i'd play on that weekly game night. (and that's a promise) Edited by: MrCupcake
