Source: Source 2D

Source2d is a multi-player 2.5D like no other. Combining a death match games and with many of your favorite games likes "Super Mario Brothers", "Sonic" and "Donkey Kong" into one whole game, is the formula to get Source2d!

What makes Source2d different to other similar games?

Source2d will offer many game features that are in development right now!, Source2d provides the player with the choice three game modes!

  • Death-match - The classic game mode, Death match! Play on a team or All vs All :) This will support up to 32 players with of course, lovable bots.

    Only three or two maps will be made since this mode is relying on the Community. Although, we will keep you updated on this game mode.

  • Adventure - What on earth is this? Why play anything else other than the Adventure mode! Entertain yourself on this Single player AND Multi-player game mode! Adventure follows a basic side-scrolling adventure made by users and the development team.

    The development team will take on creating a community story line that you, ModDb create. You get the ideas, we will make it. This will be announced shortly.

    What do you mean its Single Player and Multi-player?

    Well. Simple, you can either play by yourself without any help, or, you could LAN up with your friends and take on-board a Co-Op Adventure!

    Co-Op can be used via LAN or Internet with a Max of four players.

  • Minigames - What type of person would I be if I didn't add this feature into the game? A bad one at that.

    Have you ever wanted to play Donkey Kong in 2.5? Well.. Who said you couldn't? You can do exactly that with Source2d! Jump over barrels or maybe why not watch each other die in maps where surviving, is funny!

    We only have a short list for maps at the moment, this will sure expanded after release. Well, here they are:

  • Donkey Kong (Jump over barrels and save Princess .Echo (He doesn't know about this yet))

  • Super Mario (Collect the most Coins)

  • Death Run (Finish the map, dodging paths that could easily make you die without falling be hide)

  • Space Invaders ( One person is the Invaders, the rest, defend like you have never before)

    You could trust me, any Mario Party game or any 2d game can be integrated into the engine.

Besides the Game Mode, what other features are intended?

With endless possibilities, we have limited the primary features to this, while everything great is on the secondary list. Here they are:

  • Global high score system!
  • Global banning system!
  • Fully working Single player and multi-player support!
  • Fully working Camera and functions!
  • Extra Scripting System to extend the game even more!
  • Players death changed to be more amusing. Such as players flying off screen, hitting the camera and etc! All done by using the physics system!

These are the highlight features, but hopefully turns out well. If you would like to suggest a feature, please read below more "Contacting the team".

A few extra notes!

Source2d offers a whole bunch of miscellaneous features. You can get rewarded for pwn @ll th0se n00bz!
