Hello, this is my game, a volleyball game…
You can play the game in one or two player on the same computer or a maximum of twelve players over local network, use mouse and keyboard or joystick to control the player.
The mechanics of the game is completed and is ready to play a single match.
I need some opinion to understand if it is good to continue developing or not, thank you very much, Best regards…
I have appended some picture of the game, I know that is difficult to evaluate the product in this way but for me is a starting point to show my work.
The First image is the main menu :
The Second image appear when you select quick mode, you can choose which player use for your person controller, during the game you can select a different player. You can also select the game controller between mouse+keyboard, joypad, touch virtual joystick (not implemented until the game works on tablet like android system) and monitor that is a camera follower on a specific computer’s player. If you don’t select anything the game go in manager mode, at this state you can see only a match on stadium but the idea is to implement in the future a manager game.
The Third image is a first person view of the player, you move the player by the controller, for example key WASD, you move the crosshair to rotate the player like a FPS game, a little ball sprite on court that set the target point of the shoot. You shoot the ball by the shoot command, for example left mouse button or a button on joystick, you do a jump of the player by the jump command, right mouse or joystick button, there are other command to pose the player in attack/defense/guard.
The action of the player depends from the ball distance and the ball height, for example if you push the shoot button and the ball is over the head of the player the player take the assist action, if the ball is under the head it take a bagher action and more. If you push the jump button the player take a spike action if the ball is in the same part of court and a block action if the ball is in the other side;
The last image is the split screen of the two player mode (fully implemented), each player have its own cursor (a crosshair ball);
Best regards…
