RPG Update

Hey. Remember that 3d game I was making? I've been working on it, and made quite some progress. There are several changes in its design.
First, it's going to be an RPG. The name will no longer be City Scoundrel, but the game will probably still be focused on an urban setting.
The game will have a Final Fantasy style combat system, although I'd relate the general feel of the game more to Earthbound (in both style and gameplay).

Here's some screenshots:



The new re-textured character. The earlier model with the suit just didn't fit the game. Hopefully this will do a better job.



The Final Fantasy style combat menu.



Torching a zombie.

Annoying Forum Habbit #83

I absolutely can not stand it when people use a centered alignment on most, or all of a post on the Game Maker Community (or any other forum).
First of all, it's simply harder to read, because our eye has to find the beginning of each new line, whereas a normal left alignment has a clear start to each line.
Because of that, it's incredibly amateur, sort of like making your whole post bold, or some crazy font. Doing this doesn't make you cool, it just makes your post harder to take seriously.

Argh, can you see what I mean?
Tell me the truth, this is way harder to read.
Seriously, is this supposed to be some sort of poem?
Posting like this simply makes me go insane.

But enough with my ranting. Progress on my games has been going great. I'm spending the weekend catching up on some exercising, finishing up my math homework, and programming, as well as playing another awesome freeware game made with gamemaker, by the name of Gang Garrison 2. It's a remake (or, according to the manual, a demake) of Team Fortress 2, in a great retro platformer style. It's all online, and unlike many online games made with gamemaker, you can find a consistent amount of players online. Sometimes you can even fight matches with up to 25 players! It's a very impressive little game that I'd recommend you to play.
