Project Overview  
Preview So, I've been playing alot of the excellent indy FPS Chivalry and I wanted to try and make something that took the mechanics of that game and really distilled them into something very simple.

Also, I wanted a smattering of the joy of the old school AtariST game BarbarianII.

What I have ended up with is HACK, a 1 or 2 player beatemup that I think is a pretty "pure" experience. There is no movement, no combos and no specials. It's all down to timing and, in the case of 2 player, it's down to psyching out your opponent.

Anyway, I think it's kind of fun, I've played and watched others play 2 player and I think theres potential, but before I go any further and add new modes/characters etc, I want to see what you think!

The game is up in the downloads section, as what I have so far is perfectly playable, but this project page will cover the ongoing development.

FLASH
Posted 9th Jan 13, by butterfingers 3 Comments
So yesterday I got my hands on the Flash compiler for MMF2 and tried to get HACK running in a browser.

Other than all of the sounds needing re-doing (no "play from file" available in Flash), it was super easy to do, and got the Flash version working in 2 hours.
