Stick Offline unofficial fan game

[ARTgames]

Stick Offline is an unofficial fan made game based off Stick Online. It's a two player only game for PVP battles. It offers a lagless experience and lets your experiment with hats, weapons, and stats.

As of now the game only offers 3 hats, 3 weapons, and 3 maps. But that will grow. I will add more maps, game modes, weps/hats, etc., and will even have mod support. I would like to add more things that you can't do on stick online and some just for fun game mods and items. I hope this game will keep a little bit of SO2 alive when SO3 comes out.

The stat system in the game is somewhat based on Stick Online's. But the formulas themselves are not the same (I assume) and still need more balancing. Same with the items in the game. If you have any suggestions of what you think would work better, let me know.

I plan on adding a few new weapons and hats by the end of this week. Any suggestions to what those should be are welcome. Even fan made ones made for stick online.

Really nice & quality work. You totally have my respect for putting so much effort in a fan project.

What development environment / framework did you use? Are you planning to open source this to help others learning game development?

thanks ^^

What development environment / framework did you use?

It was made in Game maker 8 than I moved the project into game maker studios.

Are you planning to open source this to help others learning game development?

Yes but without the graphics because I do not own any of them.

This looks neato, although I'm kinda bummed out by the lack of non-local multiplayer. There's certainly a lot of opportunities to get a second player online (e.g. through here of course!) but, in my case, there's next to nobody that would care to sit down and play a few rounds of this with me.

Granted, I don't want to be throwing out the idea of online play unless Meiun has expressed that he doesn't mind if such a thing happened. I wouldn't want to be suggesting that people stop playing the classic SO to play a fangame instead!

Very cool. I like that you can choose the stats pre-battle. 20 str + DH + WH is crazy powerful knockback. Even if the opponent has DKH and 20 vitality, it's hard to stay on the platforms when hit.

Does vitality and intelligence follow the same sort of formulas as Stick Online? I mean am I better off going with an INT that's a multiple of 6 or does it not matter?

They are not the same as so. So any int you add does help. They are all linear formulas. Also healing time is constant between all stats. So this just increases how much you get each time you heal. This is to make the game more fast paced. Or at least that was my goal.
