Project Description

Call of Warfare: Blocks is a fast-paced shooter. Enemies are brutally accurate and will call out your location to their allies whenever they see you. I built it from the ground up over the course of the week. It's a silly game, but I found myself laughing out loud and having some genuine fun while testing features, so I figure at least something went right! :D

It's core features include:
+ in-game level editor w/ console command support
+ a voxel-based level format for simple level construction (cause, you know, VOXELS)
+ A* pathing
+ A particle engine (cause what's a game without freakin particles)
+ Lots and lots and lots of blood.

Questions and Comments are more than welcome!! I hope everyone enjoys playing it; I had an amazing time making it. I can be reached via email (Feltiatix AT gmail) or Twitter (@JDBunnell).

I suppose at this point it’s no longer a 7dfps, but I wanted to post an update.  Been working over the past week to add multiplayer support and fix bugs. I’m really happy with how this project has turned out so far. The multiplayer is fast paced and tons of fun (at least for the playtesters I’ve had so far).

Call of Warfare: Blocks is written in C# using the XNA Framework. There’s a dedicated server application (also written in C#) but written without XNA.  This allows the server app to run on a linux machine for cheap hosting.

Here’s the project page for the 7dfps version: http://7dfps.org/?projects=call-of-warfare-blocks

If anyone has questions or comments, I’d love to hear them.
