Yes, I'm making a game......here's a screenshot:

But......the game still is in its Testing Version. It means that there no enemies or weapons yet and there is only one Room. The music is one of SCSA's wrestling theme songs. The game is made with Game Maker. I made it for about 6 hours in total. :o_O: So, feel free to suggest and/or tell me what you think. :P

Anyways, here are the Controls first:

Move - Navigation Keys
Sneak - W,A,S,D (You need this just in case you get stuck.)
Read a Message About the Game - B
Stop Moving - Ctrl (You may need this because moving is automatic and I don't know how to fix it. >_>)
Play Music - M
Stop Music - N

Download the game here!

In the Hold Button event, move in the direction you want to. When you release the button (this will be another event), you move in a direction none with 0 speed. "Move in a direction" is like the first action available--that icon with 8 arrows pointing in every direction.

An easier way would be to put a Jump To (relative) action in the Keyboard event, so you can save some space. The only downside would be that it doesn't use real "speed", so it may be a little harder to do friction, if you plan on doing that.
Also, the movement feels a bit choppy...what did you set the room speed to? Generally, the default speed of 30 FPS works fine in most cases.

Unless you plan on giving the game an online feature, don't bother adding 3-player.
That, and I don't get it. What's ment to be in the game?

I'm actually planning to make Multiplayer (Because I have GM Pro :P ) and I'm also planning 3-player on a single computer, just bring 2 human beings to play with you. :awe:

+ Storyline levels.
+ Weapons. (Still trying to figure out on how to add this.)
+ Game Modes/Rooms.
+ Main Menu.

And also, the V.0.2 of my game has some improvements. :P And it's meant to be a maze-like shooting game. :awe:

The reason I say keep it 2-player is because the keyboard won't be big enough for 3 people.

Actually, it can.

First Player = W, A, S, D (Move) C (Shoot)
Second Player = Navigation Keys (Move) Enter (Shoot)
Third Player = Hot key Navigation Keys (Move) 5 (Shoot)

:troll:

fun fact: most keyboard only support 3 keys pressed at once.

Also, never do Online Multiplay with GM.

NEVAR.
