Hey everyone, im an indie programmer and I've been working on a 2D Platform RPG Shooter.
Its called Virus Effect, its free to play, you just have to make an account to have saved games, battle enemies, and buy upgrades.

Virus Effect <- Web Site, the game is a Java Applet



We are about to update the tiles and change up the maps. Everything will be slightly more exploration, and actual direction based. But for now I would like to hear all your thoughts.

Thanks.

Holy Jesusing Jesusjesuses, this developed a lot since I last saw it.

You still lack arms.

Yeah we just got another pixel artist, Ryan. He is a marine currently stationed in Japan right now. He is going to completely redo most of the old graphics, so a new character, and finally some equipment to put on. I'll tell him about the reload animations you suggested.

Wow.
I forgot about this.
This is amazing how for it has progressed.
Congrats. And it's really addicting as well. =)

Thanks, this just drives me more to keep going.

We have added a few things to the game and website. A kill counter, and a leaderboard to display top players.
I also added a few sprites to the crates to give more feedback on how damaged they are.

Check it out, Virus Effect

Oh yeah I meant to say. You need better firing sounds for the pistol and AK47 (They cut out a lot) and reload sounds for both as they sound bad quality. The small blob enemies should take 2 shots to kill with the pistol not 3(Right now 2 shots makes it look as if it should be dead).

Yeah, i have received a bunch of new sounds, so i'll be fixing up most of them, when we have the next big update. We are also working on variations of enemies and new enemies. So stuff like that will be fixed.

I finally added a quick medical center, the city will be changed with the bigger updates tremendously. As will the game style.

Thanks.
