When game is in development, then "more" simply slows down development. Every time you change something in weapon mechanics, you will have to fix/adjust every singe weapon. Every time you will make some change in movement, you may have to make adjustments on most maps. On prototype maps it can be done much easier.
Adding weapons/attachments at this moment is simply waste of time, since i plan to change model of arms and hire someone who will make good animations for weapons. There is no difference in gameplay between prototype and non-prototype maps. Prototype maps are easier/much faster to make and performance on these maps is much better. Many players play this game on "calculators" and i am not joking here.
And if you are not familiar with level design, then prototyping is part of map design. You don't create detailed maps from very beginning. At first you create map blockout and you test gameplay.
I am not a game designer, and I know that you have more experience, however, if you want this game's community to grow like it should you need to listen to people. Let's say someone were to come from a game like Call of Duty, and they decide to play this. In the Call of Duty games, the maps are beautiful, filled with beautiful architecture and balance. While your prototype maps compensate for their simpleness (for now), in the future more non-prototype maps would be necessary to populate the servers (as in prototype maps don't look as good as the Arena 1 [Construction Site] map and without increasing the visual quality of maps may reduce people's interest). Also, while attachments aren't always that necessary, the addition of an advanced attachment system is used in a large variety of FPS games (including free ones) that greatly surpass the quality of your game. Character customisation allows for people to funnily represent themselves. I also know that in mapping you start of with a prototype, but I haven't seen any of the prototype maps changed to be non-prototype (probably because I've started losing interest and I've been playing other games).
You say "listen to people". I am listening and i take notes. Many features are in game only because of suggestions. But every single player has own opinion about games and what makes you think that some random guys opinion is more valuable then mine?
I can't do multiple things at the same time. I am working alone and i have to set priorities. Detailed maps are not priority. More weapons/attachments are not priority. One day will be, but not now.
I had fun noscoping others lol This game has a lot of potential in it, what I want is to add more gamemodes so we don't have to play TDM over and over again, and a matchmaking/ranking system. However, I find it hard to connect to some servers.
1) we don't have ranking? 2) only TDM? we have also DM, GG, TGG. If nobody is playing these modes, then create room. 3) can you explain "hard to connect to some servers"?
Bro, the game just won't run. I download it, extracted it. Then when i run it it starts, Unity symbol seen, then a page appears for one sec or even less and then the game stops. Its crashing idk why. What do i do. Please help me out here.
Are you talking about L96A1? It never was guaranteed "one-shot".
Damage depends from many factors. 1) Are you playing Hardcore, or Normal mode. 2) Distance (at some distance damage will drop) 3) Where exactly bullet hits (head, torso, arms, legs) 4) Enemy health (enemies can have more then 100 HP) 5) If you use suppressor. With suppressor damage drops faster.
Good game play! Impressive multiplayer! Decent graphics! The only thing I would recommend is maybe add more details maybe not everything is tiles maybe add grass or concrete.
At this moment important is not how it looks, but how it feels. Sooner or later animations and part of models will be replaced. I would like to hire experienced animator, but it all requires money.
You know what i hoped in thinking it wouldnt be any good but i was wrong. Other than the bugs I really enjoyed it and i hope you put in a region near me. I love the game. Good work.
I absolutely love and adore this game, its like cod mixed with cs:go and i feels amazing getting each kill whether it be with a gun or a grenade. The only cons this game has is the ranks:
1. 0-5 Rank players join a server full of rank 10-50 players and i feel sad for them when i destroy them with a quick scope, and what i mean by this is that its not fair for newer players and there should be quick match system witch searches for servers with low rank players if the person is lets say rank 5.
2. Its too addictive and if you dont plan on playing for 3.5 hours without even getting up from your chair this game isnt for you :):):):) jk.
But all in all the game is pretty much perfect.
I hope @OneManArmy that you succeed with every game you make.
I made an account and have tried all my passwords that i use. Could i get my account back if i forgot my password? I dont want to make a new account and gain more HP because that feels cheap. The account name is "Blaze292" and my email is "Karl.Ghorayeb123@gmail.com".
We don't have option to reset password and i can't tell you password since all passwords are encrypted. Create new account and this time remember password. You had only 100 kills on this account, so it's not a big loss.
I don't know whether or not you would do this but...would it be possible if you could give the game features some of which from Phantom Forces (a roblox FPS game), like for example unlocking attachments after reaching certain ranks, or using cases to unlock skins and weapons and unlocking certain weapons from different classes (Assault, Support, Scout etc.) using a ranking system.
maybe you should play game first and only then suggest features? We already have sliding and vaulting over/climbing. I assume with "angling" you mean "leaning" and this feature is not planned.
Just gonna say this game has given me some super cool memories and for what you do onemanarmy, I can not even imagine how difficult this would be for a single developer. I've just redownloaded this game and I have to say, you are amazing
this is a descent underrated game for sure but i got some feedbacks, one thing that bothers me is the HP , people keep making new accounts so that they can have a +100 hp advantage than other players , another recommendation is that there will be an automatic health regeneration rather than picking up health kits , furthermore , some maps dont even have med kits so when you are playing 1vs1 with a friend and you kill him with 5 hp left , you certainly will die after he respawns
If someone is playing good at low rank, it doesn't mean that he created new account. Tell me who exactly is making new accounts and they will get punishment.
Automatic health regeneration will make strong players MUCH stronger. When you play 1vs1 with friend, you can choose map WITH med kits, right? And if you will play for some time, you will unlock perk which will regenerate health, so you can use it when you play with friend.
The maps are made well, and the shooting is amazing. Not to mention the amazing graphics. HOWEVER the maps do allow for spawn-camping. While these campers can be killed quickly, I feel spawns could have more protection.
I realise that however you could code a radius around the spawn point/area that detects enemies and activates spawn protection for a certain amount of time ( if an enemy is there )
you already have huge advantage when enemy is inside your spawn area, because enemy can't kill you first few seconds (spawn protection). Your idea about extra protection will not fix anything. It will only slow down game and both teams will camp on one spawn area, or another.
P.S. If you have ideas and you want to suggest something, do it in forum.
why the fuck is a crosshair a perk... like the most importaint part of an online fps...has to be unlocked by level....honestly a good game justsome things irk me
why in game where you can aim down the sights must be crosshair? Crosshairs are for games like counter-strike. Not all games are, or must be identical, right? Exist many games with and without crosshairs.
You will get used to it, believe me I had thousands of hours in CoD2... and it feels frickin awesome when you can one tap someone without a guide (crosshair).
i was just thinking it would be easier for me to design the whole map in an external program, or atleast make more buildings that you could go inside/ explore

I know you're a solo indie developer, but I believe you need to:
Add more guns
Add more attachments; improve gun customization
Add character customization
Add more non-prototype maps
Overall the game is good, it just needs some time to improve.
When game is in development, then "more" simply slows down development. Every time you change something in weapon mechanics, you will have to fix/adjust every singe weapon.

One day will be, but not now.
I've read some of the replies to ideas that could've been really good and you've simply rejected those ideas.
Also, I've noticed in the training mode that there are weapon spawns, jump pads and portals. Maybe you could add them to some more maps.
I had fun noscoping others lol
This game has a lot of potential in it, what I want is to add more gamemodes so we don't have to play TDM over and over again, and a matchmaking/ranking system.
However, I find it hard to connect to some servers.
1) we don't have ranking?
2) only TDM? we have also DM, GG, TGG.
If nobody is playing these modes, then create room.
3) can you explain "hard to connect to some servers"?
sounds like they aren't understanding ping kicks lol
i really like your game good job
Thanks
hi I love your game, i also have fun every time i play, can you add a sort of trouble in terrorist town event? thank you!
Enter my FPS game jam if you want to compete against other games (if anyone else joins).
Best part "if anyone else joins" ))
Yeah
I've downloaded the app: skillwarz_56_Mac.zip490 MB and I opened the zip file and when I try to launch the app I get this:
The application “skillwarz” can’t be opened.
Any ideas?
Try to install itch.io app and then install games via app.
or:
Bro, the game just won't run. I download it, extracted it. Then when i run it it starts, Unity symbol seen, then a page appears for one sec or even less and then the game stops. Its crashing idk why. What do i do. Please help me out here.
P.S i am playing in mac. Mac user.
please reply ASAP. Thank you
Create topic in forum and provide info about your PC (CPU, GPU, RAM and what version of OS). If you have played game before, then tell us username.
If possible record video, upload on youtube and drop link in topic.
ohhk
let me do that
I am having the same exact problem. Did you get it fixed?
Are you talking about L96A1? It never was guaranteed "one-shot".
Damage depends from many factors.
1) Are you playing Hardcore, or Normal mode.
2) Distance (at some distance damage will drop)
3) Where exactly bullet hits (head, torso, arms, legs)
4) Enemy health (enemies can have more then 100 HP)
5) If you use suppressor. With suppressor damage drops faster.
Do you own tests on Practice/Sandbox map.
Fuck, this is CS:GO 2.0
Good game play! Impressive multiplayer! Decent graphics! The only thing I would recommend is maybe add more details maybe not everything is tiles maybe add grass or concrete.
Really smooth gun play and movement, reload animations could use some work. Games got potential
At this moment important is not how it looks, but how it feels. Sooner or later animations and part of models will be replaced. I would like to hire experienced animator, but it all requires money.
You know what i hoped in thinking it wouldnt be any good but i was wrong. Other than the bugs I really enjoyed it and i hope you put in a region near me. I love the game. Good work.
what bugs? If you noticed any bugs, then report in forum. At this moment all reported bugs are fixed.
"i hoped it wouldn't be any good", why?
Because of the name, I suggest you come up with a better name SkillWarz sounds (no offense) like a flash game.
you wrote "i hoped"... what was kinda strange
I absolutely love and adore this game, its like cod mixed with cs:go and i feels amazing getting each kill whether it be with a gun or a grenade. The only cons this game has is the ranks:
1. 0-5 Rank players join a server full of rank 10-50 players and i feel sad for them when i destroy them with a quick scope, and what i mean by this is that its not fair for newer players and there should be quick match system witch searches for servers with low rank players if the person is lets say rank 5.

Thanks.
1. At this moment we don't have enough players.
It was cool playing against you, i hope we meet again
wait is there controller compatipilty
Is it possible to play with controllers? Yes.
Hey bro does it work for Xbox controller?
I tried with Xbox, my computer responded with the controller but the game wont play with it.
Hell yes I was waiting for an update I love this game!
yeh i was also scared that the linux version was canceled, but it turns out that its still there
so um , the Mac downloading button doesnt work , it just shows a "Thanks for downloading!" screen but nothing , pls help
I know this is an amazing game , that's why i comment about that
I don't have such problem.
Maybe try other browser. Or install itch.io app and download/install games from app.
nevermind , works now!
where is the linux version
will be ready after around 80 min.
Wow, bro you scared me!
I send you 3 emails about the Linux version.
I LOVE YOUR GAME!!!!!!!!!
The game itself is being than was is indicated on the development log. Regardless, this game packs in alot of great elements and fun
It's a great game. Can't wait for it to become huge.
I remember playing a version of this years ago, can't wait to see what you've done since since it was amazing then.
Is it possible to create bots for offline play eventually?
No and it's not planned. Only offline play requires a lot of work, not even talking about bots. It's very hard to make smart bots.
Some day...
I made an account and have tried all my passwords that i use. Could i get my account back if i forgot my password? I dont want to make a new account and gain more HP because that feels cheap. The account name is "Blaze292" and my email is "Karl.Ghorayeb123@gmail.com".
Thanks!
We don't have option to reset password and i can't tell you password since all passwords are encrypted.
Create new account and this time remember password. You had only 100 kills on this account, so it's not a big loss.
Okay, sorry for the trouble. I thought id have to make a new email. Great game though
THIS GAME IS AMAZING. This game is so fun to play and i got some reallly nice clips. Good job on the game whoever made this. Its fun
Thanks
wow, in my time of seeing FPS games on itch.io, this one takes the cake. no matter what please, just keep it up.
I don't know whether or not you would do this but...would it be possible if you could give the game features some of which from Phantom Forces (a roblox FPS game), like for example unlocking attachments after reaching certain ranks, or using cases to unlock skins and weapons and unlocking certain weapons from different classes (Assault, Support, Scout etc.) using a ranking system.
we already have progression system and you unlock attachments, perks, sprays, features by ranking up. Loot boxes are not planned.
and also maybe add the same features as phantom forces, such as the slides, angling, and vaulting over objects while running and maps
maybe you should play game first and only then suggest features? We already have sliding and vaulting over/climbing. I assume with "angling" you mean "leaning" and this feature is not planned.
i did, but i wasnt able to slide and vault somehow
so i didn't know
I can't open the game on macOS (last version)
Please read comments, or register in forum and create topic there. Here is comments you can find video tutorials.
good afternoon, I couldn't find your twitter, please add the plant the bomb mode in the game
Hi, I just played a bunch of round with my friends and it's super fun and fluid even in my laptop (wich is a mac from 2012) ! Congratulations!
I tried to download the Map edit from https://skillwarz.com/files/file/5-map-editor/
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Old editor was removed. Soon we will have new (built in) map editor.
Hi! Nice game!! I definitely gonna tell my friends about this game! It's posible to change my username?
Hi, no you can't change username.
Just gonna say this game has given me some super cool memories and for what you do onemanarmy, I can not even imagine how difficult this would be for a single developer. I've just redownloaded this game and I have to say, you are amazing
Thanks

It requires bigger maps, with alternative spawn areas. You have option to play DM and GG, if spawn camping/killing annoys you too much.
That doesn't stop camping
players are camping in all games. SW is not exception.
I realise that however you could code a radius around the spawn point/area that detects enemies and activates spawn protection for a certain amount of time ( if an enemy is there )
you already have huge advantage when enemy is inside your spawn area, because enemy can't kill you first few seconds (spawn protection). Your idea about extra protection will not fix anything. It will only slow down game and both teams will camp on one spawn area, or another.

Yeah killing people with no crosshairs is awesome. The crosshair perk does seem weird though, as it should be a setting or not exist at all.
btw could u please add an enable V-sync option? Thanks!
Yeah, please do that.
Yeah do that
pls fix skills wars on mac im on 2012 11 inch it says
The application “skillwarz” can’t be opened
Possible reasons...
THX IT WORKS NOW
Wow, props to OneManArmy for supporting an 8 year old os. Nice!
is there any way to import my own 3d models into the map editor?
No. Important is map layout, not models/textures.
In case if you are experienced level designer, then use unity engine, where you can import anything you want.
i was just thinking it would be easier for me to design the whole map in an external program, or atleast make more buildings that you could go inside/ explore
btw i don't mean to sound demanding, ur an insane developer to have done all that yourself
I think that would be cool.
You're simply asking to import 3d models from apps like blender, and I feel that would boost the quality of custom maps.
Yo dude keep it up this is amazing! Improvements could be made but my god best fps for a developer! :)
Thanks
wait i have an idea : you can make something like co op survival
you basicly add a dedicated server a team with players and other with bots and you need to survive for a certain amount of time to win
That sounds cool but I asked for single player and he said how hard decent bots are to make.
i mean its not thats hard ,my game is single player but i understand that it is hard with all that prefabs and yeah..
you should put guns like the m1 carbine or kar98 in the game, those old school guns. That'll be fun
I really like this games its sooo fun. I wish more people played it tho.
Unfortunately only small % of players help advertise game. But soon online will grow... i am working on it.
can i make a vid on it??
it is too good to remain not seen by everyone
i can tell my friends to tell their friends etc.. you get the idea
