i was shot with a gun. pretty overpowered up against basically anything else. since a person can kill all other players from any distance pretty quick. kind of a game ruiner.
and incredibly out of place

I'll have to agree. The game isn't very fun when you only have like a health potion and you're killed by some jerk with an overpowered weapon in the first 25 seconds and then you have to wait ~10 minutes to try again.

That's from sprinting while wielding weapons.
They weren't sprinting though...

it's alright but there's a couple of problems
  • stamina doesn't server much of a purpose. jumping should cost stamina maybe.
  • the food/hunger doesn't really serve a point. for short rounds like these are, they don't really need to be there.
  • i've seen admins constantly run into the admin room while playing. if you're going to be the "game master", make your own team and don't compete. it's cheating and i've seen it numerous times.
other than that, its not bad

edit: Didn't play since the bow way added, but now i see it really needs to be removed or tweaked. I can get like, 60 arrows easily and just spam fire at people. Use the recurved bows charge and make arrows even more rare or something. You shouldn't be able to optimally use the bow close range like you can right now. I can just sprint around in circles hitting people and they can't do anything about it.

Please add limited knifes. Like what heed said, I can just sprint around in circles hitting people and the person cannot do a thing about it.

There shouldn't be guns in the server. I made the user "Nucleus" a gamemaker before I left and he did this. He shouldn't have done it and I've spoke with him.

It was just a gamemaking error, and aren't actually in the game.

It does serve a point: You can't run away forever. I'll make jumping cost stamina now.

the food/hunger doesn't really serve a point. for short rounds like these are, they don't really need to be there.
It isn't actually in the game yet. We have the script ready, but there is currently no way to obtain food. Rounds last 20 minutes and often don't finish in time, so unless we have a low playercount, it's pretty important.
Hunger will kill you in about 7 minutes, if unattended to. We'll be adding hunting soon.

i've seen admins constantly run into the admin room while playing. if you're going to be the "game master", make your own team and don't compete. it's cheating and i've seen it numerous times.
Often the administrators will want to play, but if the games are about to end and there are still a lot of people left alive, I've told them to go into the gamemaker's room and announce that everyone must go to the cornucopia to fight. I know it's a little annoying, but they'll have to leave too in a moment.

The bow does 20 damage and has a few seconds of reload time. Ammunition is pretty scarce, excluding around the Cornucopia. I'll lower it from 15 arrows to 5 though.

who's gamemaker?
Any administrator on duty at the time. We're thinking about implementing a voting system so that dead players can vote on what random events they want to happen, but people can't be trusted so it'll have to be limited control.

I didn't make Deadzone's weapons and I don't know if we'll be able to add an ammunition system. I'll see if one of my scripters can do it.

Thanks for the suggestions, Heed & Co.
Sorry for the problems. We've been testing for the first time this week and we're trying to iron out all the op weapons and annoying factors.

You could run away from ever. You could jump after shortly running and repeat to bunny hop forever. With the fix, this is no longer possible.

I've literally been fighting admins and they've run into the admin room and closed the door behind them. I've seen an admin run into the vehicle room while fighting someone, accidentally letting the player in, then respawning the vehicle after the player took it. I've frequently seen admins use the room as an escape from combat, where they run in and try to shut the door behind them while getting attacked.

Please edit out the glitch. I don't want other people knowing about it. I'll be fixing it soon but it wont update immediately.

Administrators cheating isn't OK. I'll speak with them.

If it can't be done, it needs to be removed. Someone keeps going to them every round and ends up killing everyone.

Can I apply as a scripter of sorts? I can easily script the ammo for Deadzone's hunting knives and I may even do a bit of balancing tweaks, mostly regarding hit detection.

Please edit out the glitch.
The glitch is something everyone knows about. It can be solved by delaying the jump a bit more so you can't jump the very moment you hit the ground. Did that for my parkour playertype.

While I've never read or seen the Hunger Games, this is a really cool concept for a gamemode! I'll have to drop by (:

We need some new screenshots. The ones in the OP are from 2013 and months old. I can't run soft shaders so if anyone here can, I'd appreciate them contacting me.

You could do it over PM or you could friend "McZealot" on Steam.

If you want to "apply" just download Deadzone's dueling weapons and make the throwing knives run out after 5 shots.
I'll PM you the playertype. I've tried to fix it but I can't. The best I could do was prevent sprinting and jumping at the same time, but I can't stop people from stopping then jumping.

Well I mean, 5 seems a little useless. They do how much damage? Not to mention you're gonna miss at least half of those shots.

I'd say 10 to start with and then you can find stacks of 3 laying around everywhere.
