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 understand where you're coming from, but a single player would allow for noobs (like me) to practise more, and it would help Beta males like me feel like an Alpha.
All shooter games are similar. If you are good in one, most likely you will be good in others. You can practice in any shooter game and be Alpha in any game which has single-player. I don't have time/money to make single-player.
what's the point of progression system when you can skip it? Best weapons are unlocked from very beginning. If you think you are losing because someone has "better attachments/weapons", then i will disagree. You are losing because other players are better and getting more attachments will not change anything. You can always go and play GG, or TGG, where everyone has the same weapons and attachments.
I think the setting would be cool because it gives you a chance to play with guns you don't have. And while gun game does this with weapons when you get to snipers it is extremely difficult.
We already have map editor and you can download from site. Second (built in map editor) is in development. Realistic grass has impact on performance. And adding few grass blades here and there will not look better than without grass.
Also, I've gone to download the map editor and there isn't any obvious way to. How do I download it? Also, are the buildings props or can you actually go in them? If you can go inside it, it means the recon class could be far more useful.
How to understand "change ping"? You can set max allowed ping when you create room. And you can switch region. Takes much more time to make "non-prototype" map. I am making this game alone, so i have to set priorities.
the maps currently suffice my needs.(actually they are well thought out and well optimised, good job). When i talked about the "changing ping" i wanted to ask if you were able to implement a system in which the game master could change the game server settings after a match ends.
Very good game only 1 small problem: I can't set sensitivity in game
Sensitivity in menus is fine and it's the similar to the one I have setup on my system but in game it's really high and the sensitivity slider doesn't work
The game is a unity game and doesn't need wine for it to run but what's weird is that the mouse sensitivity works fine on the menus after launching the game.
I think it's a linux issue or a compatibility between unity and libinput or something like that
Windows OS? Cursor is invisible/locked? Maybe you set sensitivity to zero, or you modified Inputs? Open settings and press "Reset" in General and Controls tab.
Windows, Mac or Linux? Look around and move cursor in menus are 2 different things. To tell the truth i have never heard about such problem. If problem is not with settings and even reset doesn't help, then i don'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

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.
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
one of my favorite games right now
there is something that could be made
make the crouch button the same as the slide one or atleast make it optional
you also make me see my game as a potato
what?
nvm
Already added.
Settings => Gameplay => Use crouch key to slide
oh ok thx
add a dedicated single player
You don't understand what you are asking.
For a team of developers, it takes years to make single player game. I am making this game alone.
I understand where you're coming from, but a single player would allow for noobs (like me) to practise more, and it would help Beta males like me feel like an Alpha.
All shooter games are similar. If you are good in one, most likely you will be good in others. You can practice in any shooter game and be Alpha in any game which has single-player. I don't have time/money to make single-player.
you should add a setting in game setup that gives all weapons and perk
why?
because sometimes i want to play an equal game so someone who has all the weapons doesnt join and just destroy me
what's the point of progression system when you can skip it? Best weapons are unlocked from very beginning. If you think you are losing because someone has "better attachments/weapons", then i will disagree. You are losing because other players are better and getting more attachments will not change anything.
You can always go and play GG, or TGG, where everyone has the same weapons and attachments.
I think the setting would be cool because it gives you a chance to play with guns you don't have. And while gun game does this with weapons when you get to snipers it is extremely difficult.
after logging in i just get left on a blank screen with only the background showing, could you please help?
It can happen if no connection to servers. Wait 5-10 min and try again.
It hasnt worked :/ ive tried redownloading the game and each time i log in i just get left on the dark blue misty background.
Problem must be somewhere between your ISP and Photon (servers). You have no problems in other games?
I forgot to mention like 8 days ago, but its working now, this game is really fun, thank you :)
I love this game! Maybe add a map editor, and some grass (3d) in the next update though.
We already have map editor and you can download from site. Second (built in map editor) is in development. Realistic grass has impact on performance. And adding few grass blades here and there will not look better than without grass.
Make the grass a graphics setting
Also, I've gone to download the map editor and there isn't any obvious way to. How do I download it? Also, are the buildings props or can you actually go in them? If you can go inside it, it means the recon class could be far more useful.

Thanks
The bestest game i've ever played. plz just add the ability to change the ping in game.
Also, could you please add more non-prototype maps
Great Work!
How to understand "change ping"? You can set max allowed ping when you create room. And you can switch region.
Takes much more time to make "non-prototype" map. I am making this game alone, so i have to set priorities.
the maps currently suffice my needs.(actually they are well thought out and well optimised, good job). When i talked about the "changing ping" i wanted to ask if you were able to implement a system in which the game master could change the game server settings after a match ends.
(between matches)
because sometimes the creator of the match sets the ping too low, so could you implement a way to increase it without having to make a new server.
so sad this game isn't a 64 bit game, MAC Catalina can't run it :(
what? On unity i can't even build 32 bit for Mac. It's ONLY 64 bit.
oh sick! i must be opening it wrong then lol
ha nice
How about trying to promote it on youtube by videos or comments to others? Although it seems a bit wierd too
for anyone needing help running on Catalina link is here and it works! both videos will help you to get it to work
Hi! Is this game multiplayer only or does it also support AI bots for offline play?
No offline play. We have practice mode, where you can shoot bots.
Very good game only 1 small problem: I can't set sensitivity in game
Sensitivity in menus is fine and it's the similar to the one I have setup on my system but in game it's really high and the sensitivity slider doesn't work
This is on archlinux to be precise
Thanks again !
Problem is somewhere in relation between Unity engine and Arch Linux. Try to google your problem and maybe you will find solution.
Edit: Maybe this is your problem:

Hello again and thanks for your replay.
The game is a unity game and doesn't need wine for it to run but what's weird is that the mouse sensitivity works fine on the menus after launching the game.
I think it's a linux issue or a compatibility between unity and libinput or something like that
I'll keep you updated
Thanks again.
this is good
hello my cousin has a mac and cant play the game because it says unidentified developer
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25088?locale=en_US
I really enjoy it but most of the time there aren't even a server available, if so there is no more than 4 players in it :c
Like in any game, online is higher/lower depending on time of day.
I can't open the app it just says it can open it can it be because of me being on Mac OS Catalina??
Join forum/discord and ask other players. High % of players are on Mac and i think someone will help you.
Check this article. Maybe it will fix your problem:
https://howtomacos.com/2019/02/24/fix-the-application-cant-be-opened-on-mac/
I´ve download it on mac and it doesn´t seems to work right. It just opens the first window and the any botten i push it disappears.
Can be connection problem, or even you are banned.
If you need help, then create topic in forum and provide more info.
my mouse works perfectly all the time but when I join a game or when I make a game, I can't look around :(
can anyone help me ?
I checked the settings and all it's totally normal
Windows OS? Cursor is invisible/locked? Maybe you set sensitivity to zero, or you modified Inputs? Open settings and press "Reset" in General and Controls tab.
well my mouse works an the menus and all, but when I start playing I can't look, I checked everything it's all okay and I still can't play
my sensitivity is normal : at 2,00
my look settings are :
_look up : mouse up
_ look down : mouse down
_turn left : mouse left
_turn right : mouse right
tolally normal :/
I even deleted the game and redownloaded it and nothing changed
Windows, Mac or Linux? Look around and move cursor in menus are 2 different things. To tell the truth i have never heard about such problem. If problem is not with settings and even reset doesn't help, then i don't know.
Windows, well thanks anyways I will restart my computer an see if anything happens ^^
Try browser version:
https://skillwarz.com/play.php
anyone mac?
Yeah does not seem to work with catalina
That's what you get for changing your operating system before devs have time to update. Still on High Sierra here.
how about make it similiar as Squad ? just a tactic and strategy one...
nice game i have played it already 2 hours
dont play this game if you have a good headshot and good aim, im always being called a hacker its not fair
always? you have played just 2 rounds.
And if someone writes that you are hacker, it means that he is low skill player (what is completely normal in F2P game on itch.io).
could you get skillwarz on steam
Any plans on BR ? :D
Not possible with current networking solution.
more weapons skins please
OneManArmy
