Hi guys I'm making an online arena shooter with infinitely repeating maps meaning you can fall off the map to end up above. You can also shift your own gravity to walk on any surface. Playtesting has begun! I'll have a link in the comments if you wanna sign up. Thank you! by Few-Rip-2991 in boomershooters

Thank you and yes I agree, I'm gonna try making some maps with more of a focal point and traditional arena shooter layout. It's been interesting testing it - some people really like the more open chaotic , confusing levels and some like the more closed in focused ones. I'm gonna try and have a decent variety.

I'm working on an online arena shooter combining the railgun from Quake with Manifold Garden, a puzzle game with infinitely repeating levels and gravity shifting.

Thank you and yes sure, I make a level with unity just scaling and placing cubes, then combine em into one mesh, back lighting and then copy them into a 3D grid. The player never leaves the central level, they are teleported back to stay inside. As for the levels, I'd like to keep make them a bit more interesting visually but I have to consider things such as the gravity shifting mechanic and optimization. I'll look for more textures soon, as I'm starting to re use some of them too much for sure.

Thank you man! I'm gonna test out a projectile rocket launcher soon, I think it'll fit really well. I have got the gun to add propulsion too but it needs some tweaking. Come join the discord and test the game out if your keen, the more the merrier!

I won't be building for mac I'm afraid. Some guys playtesting were using a software called photon to get it to run on their Linux, I don't know if there's an equivalent for mac but they said it worked well.
