Pathmaker

Pathmaker is a multiplayer parkour shooter game, in which up to four players fight alongside or against each other using a variety of diverse weaponry.

This is a VERY work-in-progress prototype. I’m just one programmer, and it’ll take a long time for this project to reach full playability, though I do intend on seeing this through to the finish line.

Current features include...

• Four-player multiplayer, with keyboard and Xbox controller support!
• PvP Deathmatch gamemode.
  • The winner is whoever gets the target kill count first...
  • ...or has the most kills when the timer runs out.
• Break the Targets mode.
  • ...with one map.
• Wide range of weapons, from guns to swords to gauntlets.
• Custom Stages!
• Custom Characters!
• ONE PvP map!
• ONE Time Trial!
• TWO Boss Fights!
• Over sixty-four playable characters!

• PvE Robot Survival, in which four players take on an endless army of robots.
• Singleplayer parkour stages?
• More maps.
• More weapons.
• More characters.
• PlayStation and Switch controller support.

-= ABILITIES =-

You have a plethora of abilities to move about the stage at your leisure.

• A 'Double Jump' that refills with enough time on the ground.
• 'Sprinting' that lets you close the gap on opponents.
• 'Wall Running' for three-dimensional movement.
• 'Wall Jumps' that don't consume stamina.

If you're looking to spice up your gameplay, stronger 'modded' versions of certain weapons exist in the lootpool settings.

-= NOTABLE ISSUES =-

• This game was only programmed with Xbox controllers in mind, so PlayStation and Switch players might experience some major input problems. Running this through Steam's Input System can fix this.
• There's no way for a player to 'drop out' of the game yet.
• There will probably be some severe balance issues, particularly regarding movement speed.
• The WebGL version may have some minor issues, but they shouldn't reduce the game's playability.

This game is a spiritual successor to Apocalyps.io on Scratch!
