Valium Deathmatch is a multiplayer Deathmatch game with retro-styled ASCII graphics made by me (the game, not the graphics)
It features support for up to 4 player at the same PC, a (crappy) bot, Two Game Modes: Deathmatch and Capture The Flag, randomly generated maps, 4 different powerups aswell as a (pretty big) variety of options and the abilty to save them.

It wasn't set out to be groundbreaking, but to be a nice, little entertaining, customizable multiplayer retro-style mayhem game. :D

I just want to know what you think of it. It's near completion and the current beta version (0.96) features almost everything from the coming final version.

Hey, nice little game! I expected something first person but this is quite cool too!!! Say, how long does it took you to develop that game?

[ValiumMan]

Took me about one month...

i take it there is no *nix version ?

[ValiumMan]

There could be one... Maybe I'll make the source public so you can compile it under Linux (at least).

[Mihail121]

Yes, that's good idea! To open source it would be really really great!

[ValiumMan]

Yes it would but I'm not going to put the source to public domain before the final version (which is soon to come) since it's very messed up by now :blush:

BTW it was written YaBasic, a nice BASIC compiler/interpreter similar to ye goode olde QBASIC.
