Game
Stick Veterans
6 years ago

I used to play a lot of GTA: Vice City a while back.


The minigun was among my favourite guns.

Makes sense I would add it to my own game someday.

Eye-candy aside, I unfortunately do not have an update ready yet. In fact, it will be amazing if I have one ready before the year ends. This is for three reasons:

  • The game is in the middle of a rewrite. The multiplayer networking is currently unacceptable for anything other than LAN, so I am rewriting the entire network code. Also, I am working on implementing Unity’s latest optimizations, the most important of which will be multi-threading support (meaning the game will finally use more than 1 CPU core, meaning it will run much faster).

  • On top of the above, personal life and work have been hogging all my time again. I haven’t had enough time for gamedev in a while.

The third reason is that I have been working in parallel on an older project of mine. I happened to feel nostalgia for one of my old projects, Flashy Dansy. It’s a simple mini-game I had made for a gamejam some time ago, and I recently decided to update it.

In fact, I would be grateful if you guys checked it out. It’s completely free, like Stick Veterans, and available for Windows/Mac/Linux and Android.

Good thing is, things are a bit more relaxed in my life now, so I will use the chance to focus on Stick Veterans. I will keep you posted on its progress.

As a closing note, I want to thank you guys for playing SV, and especially for making and uploading maps. I make sure to check out and approve your maps as often as I can. I recently posted on my blog about one of the most contributing map makers, and I hope this will inspire you to join the map making community with renewed effort.

Until next time,

Kostas

No progress yet... but still going. Sorry for my absence, guys. Been inactive for the last 2 months. Your ongoing support and your new follows every day reminded me of why I made the game in the first place. I'll strive to not disappoint you.
