Arcade, oldschool multiplayer and bloodshed.That's what the game Bloodmasters is about. Play with friends on your LAN or online and experience this oldschool top-down shooter. The game supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and Scavenger game modes. The game is completely freeware and without ads, spyware or other unwanted garbage.

Saw this linked on Gamershell yesterday, figured for a 45 meg download I'd give it a shot. Man, what an impressive game. There's about 8 or 9 maps included, none are humongous by any stretch, but they are all "fun" and graphically it's pretty nice as well. All sorts of neat lighting, shadowing effects, etc. I think this game uses an enhanced Darkspaces engine, though I could be wrong. Either way, it looks damn nice and should run on fairly old hardware pretty well I think. There's DM/TDM/CTF and Scavenger game modes as it says ^^ there. Not bad for free eh?

There's a good 10 or more servers up for the game, and eh, maybe 15 people playing it. So I'm posting it here, to get more people to play it. I always like to support freeware gaming devs, and especially when the game isn't "crippled" or garbageware. Give it a shot folks, you can't lose with a free game!

*Update* I just spoke to the game's developer in IRC, the game does not use the Darkspaces engine, it's using a custom built engine he developed.

Yeh am bloody loving this. Hopefully with new updates it,ll become bigger and better.

The BIG problem I have is that the movement keys stay the same as your player model moves. I.e if im facing right the W key moves me up (not forward) and if Im facing left the W key moves me up (again not forward).

So thats gonna take some getting used to.

We should try and find or host a wee server for Neowin and play on it :)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Sekyal · Posted

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

      The nerve of Google to sign this.

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
