Radil Ranger

Making a locally networked multiplayer FPS game, where the players' perspective is through LIDAR. The idea was based on Scanner Sombre.

Comment

Inspiration

The game was inspired by Scanner Sombre by Introversion Software. We wanted to extend it into a multiplayer game and FPS.

What it does

It's a first person shooter, where you can't see except through Lidar, allowing you to also explore the map. You can also play with your friends on a local network.

How we built it

We built it with Godot. This was our first day using Godot.

Challenges we ran into

  • Godot is a bit awkward to solve merge conflicts with (much better than Unity though!)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We built an actual working multiplayer game :D
  • Actually learned Godot
  • We did a little 2-hour trip to durham cathedral, ending up on a narrow mud path between a deep river and sheer cliff, without any casualties (cue LOTR theme song). 11/10 side quest

What we learned

  • Godot is actually like really awesome, 10/10.

What's next for Radil Ranger

  • Getting a bigger computer
  • Particle-based lidar scan points instead of a million spheres
  • More fluid movement/shooting mechanics
