Introducing SUPER SCORE, and the new sponsor of this forum!

SUPER SCORE is a 3v3 multiplayer FPS where kills don't win games. Scores do. Get to the enemy base to score. Use weapons and items to outsmart, outrun, and outmaneuver anyone in your way.

Some of you might recognize it as a Mirror-Platform title, but it's entirely rebuilt in Godot as a stand-alone game with a much bigger scope, designed for commercial release on Steam. The game's success means I can reinvest back into both this forum and the engine. So when you wishlist, you're supporting more than just a game.

More details coming soon. For now, you can wishlist on Steam:

Pretty good, it reminds me of The Finals.
If you want I have some visual tips:

Add recoil shake to the screen/camera when shooting (it doesn't feel satisfying to shoot without it, imo)
Add a slight acceleration/deceleration to the player movement when starting or stopping to move, and make the camera slightly lag behind it, just a bit, to create a better illusion of speed
Add visual and audio feedback for hits (to create more satisfaction when you land your shots), with a different effects for headshots
Also, I would just make the player a bit faster in general

Sasinosoft_Games Thanks for the feedback! I usually describe the game as The Finals (without the destruction) meets Mirror's Edge set in a scifi athletic world.

Since you reopened this thread, wanted to say it looks similar in design as splitgate 1

In that game kills count as score. It had many gamemodes, it was free to play when it was maintianed but devs cheaped out and released splitgate2 and ruined everything.. greed kills good stuff...

Game is your standard arena shooter but, in some gamemodes you can use portals like in portal game, and shoot through them and use them to escape.

Has your standard TDM, DM, CTF, modes along with other modes..

What i liked about this game is that weapons felt snappy and fair if you can master them.. they werent updated after the release so you didnt have to relearn how they shoot on every game update, like it is with other FPS games these days.

I used to play the 1st one. There are some custom servers still online but they are not optimized gameplaywise.. very sad end to a good game imo.

Hope you can learn from this 🙂

kuligs2 Thanks, I'm always studying other titles' successes and failures. In the case of Slipgate, there's a lot to learn from it for sure, both good and bad.

Massive Update: Playtest #1 is happening THIS WEEKEND!

Hey everyone, popping back into the thread with a huge milestone. After months of wrestling with netcode and solo development, SUPER SCORE is finally ready for its very first closed playtest this weekend (Friday, June 26 – Sunday, June 28)!

As a quick refresher for the thread, this is the 3v3 FPS where shooting is how you fight, but reaching the enemy base is how you actually win (no deathmatch point hoarding here). I'm really eager to see how the engine handles the networking under actual player strain.

How to Hop In (Windows / Steam)

The test is running through Steam Playtest. Because I need to keep a close eye on server stability for this first run, slots are limited and Steam will handle the access rollouts randomly.

Jump over to the Steam Page: Steam page
Hit that green "Request Access" button.

Keep an eye on your Steam notifications/email!

🎮 Help Me Fill Lobbies (No Bots!)

Since this is a strict networking test, bots are disabled—meaning we need 6 real players to get a match off the ground. To make sure we actually get to play and don't just sit in empty queues, please try to log on during these peak windows:

🇪🇺 Europe: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM CEST

🇺🇸 North America: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM PST

Be sure to join the SUPER SCORE Discord Server and use the matchmaking channel to coordinate lobbies with everyone if things get quiet!

I’d love to get your thoughts on the overall feel, performance, and gameplay loop.

Thanks to everyone in the thread who has been following along so far, let's break some servers this weekend!

MikeCL why windows? 🙁

Also, isnt the title misleading? A game where you win without killing? And then in trailer you see players shoot each other 😃

kuligs2 why windows?

Because that's where the vast majority of PC players are. In the future I might look into a Linux release as well. But I need to start somewhere.

kuligs2 isnt the title misleading?

Combat is still a part of the game. You still fight the other team in offense/defensive play, but you don't score or win matches by doing so.

kuligs2

MikeCL cant you just do:

Its just few clicks 😃

MikeCL

kuligs2 Yes, but then I also need to make sure to test it properly on that platform and it might have it's own set of unique quirks and challenges I need to address. I currently don't have a proper Linux setup for testing the game. And then there's time to make sure it runs well on that platform, I'm already pushing 60-80 hour weeks.

With that said, once I have the capacity and confidence I can deliver on a great Linux release, I really want to explore it.

kuligs2

MikeCL i can test it for ya 🙂 i bet someone on here can test it for ya too. Im not sure how it works on steam, but i hope you can let people download and install windows version or linux version of the game. you can always fall back on proton.

The Halls of torment is a godot game and it runs perfectly. I dont think they did any voodoo on the engine to make it run good on linux.

Maybe for the closed playthrough export it and see what happens? Its up to you
