This is the latest version of my shooter/platformer engine that I previewed on this form several days ago.

Here are the changes I've made based on the feedback provided:
-You no longer have to hold another button to aim your weapon before shooting it.
-You can shoot while running.
-When not near cover, down makes you kneel.
-Small customization options.

Pretty awesome. I advise adding arrow key support for left-handed players though.

- Customization is nothing if graphics aren't improved
- The sprint camera is annoying, and a glitch (hold left and right while sprinting) sets the camera to normal. The shaking is fine if you're trying to go for the gears of war sprint, but the uphill camera is just weird.
- The running animations looks weird, his back foot never goes in front
- Some enemies to kill please.

Also: I don't like playing as Mr. Unibrow

It does, it just follows the same path, but you can't really tell in black pants.

I'll get started on that blushing princess face for you

Holding space down makes the character move. Don't know if it's supposed to be this way. It's just odd. Nice start, though!

kewl

Could do with a bit of a change with the running, it's like he's on ice skates, as for the gun pointing, he appears to flip way too much when you put the cursor down into the center.

Also camera was a bit dodgy at times, other than that, not a bad start, I wouldn't consider graphics as it's mainly to test the coding.

Very cool effects. I would love to use this for a game.

I really liked being able to shoot at all times that was a great improovement, it felt like he moves slower now im not sure, but great engine so far, cant wait to see some mega gore heh.

Good start but:

-Camera takes too long to zoom in/out
-Sprint camera is weird
-Make it so that you don't have to hold 'S' to be in cover, make it toggle.
-Running backwards should be added. Movement feels awkward now.
-Add an enemy or two.

Made it faster.

-Sprint camera is weird

I Got rid of the camera tilt but kept the bounce.

-Make it so that you don't have to hold 'S' to be in cover, make it toggle.

You got it.

-Running backwards should be added. Movement feels awkward now.

Yes sir!

-Add an enemy or two.
