Russian Roulette v1.48

Yes, I'm seriously uploading this classic game.

There are several features in this map that add to this game of shooting yourself. These include several different modes, variants, and such.

Default Variant - A variant of my design. You start with a pool of 6 bullets, and when the gun is passed to you, you can put in any amount. After you spin and pull the trigger, the bullets used are removed and the gun is passed. If you survive to lose all of your bullets, you are safe and have a chance to shoot someone in the method you would normally shoot yourself, using as many bullets as they have left. The game ends when everyone is dead or all of the survivors have 0 bullets left.

Classic Variant - The classic spin, click, pass, click, pass, bang. The last man alive wins.

Shooter Variant - Like the default mode, only you have the option to shoot others instead of yourself during the game (replacing shooting someone after reaching 0). Shooting others uses their pool of bullets, however. You start with putting in a maximum of 3 bullets, but each time the gun is passed to you, you can put in 1 more than before. This is the most strategic mode.

Random Variant - Each round, a random variant is picked.

Cycle Variant - Cycles through the variants.

There are also some modes, including:
Five-Shooter Mode - The gun is a 5-chamber revolver.
Eight-Shooter Mode - The gun is an 8-chamber revolver.
Endless Mode - The game does not end (infinite lives).
One Life Mode - You only get one chance.
Hardcore Mode - More realistic mode (fixed camera, drug effects, black screen once you're completely dead, etc)


As an added bonus, a semi-hidden shop is available so that you can buy various drugs and alcoholic beverages. They all have slight gameplay effects and very noticeable screen distortion effects (drunk double-vision, meth vertigo, heroin spinning, etc).


This map also includes computer AI!

Very nice concepts, but you did not mention what the modes is all about at quest log. It only been mention once you type in the mode, causing the need for user to play this game several times before knowing which modes they prefer.

I suggest you to mention what is the modes about before player select it or else the player would not know what is -eight bullet, -hardcore and etc etc is about.

I certainly recommend this game to everybody and you add the animation of them holding the gun at their own head, which is certainly a good work.

It would be even better with AI on it.

For those who play this Roulette, play it at your own risk. I test this map at single player and it seems to be free of bug.

4/5 from me.

Yeah, I agree with you on all of those points. I just haven't gotten around to those things yet...

EDIT:
I've added an AI and expanded the quests menu. I have not tested the AI very much, but it should at least work. It probably won't be all that intelligent at first, though.

Edit: updated to fix a horrible bug

This is an amazing map. Only problem I found was that sometimes when playing with a lot of computers (Like, more than 2..stupid leavers) the game bugs out, and the cumputers end up with 2-4 different bodies. and they shoot multiple times...makes it impossible to win unless you get lucky enough to have the comp blow his brains out 2-4 times at once. That is possible, but not likely...Saw it once out of maybe 30 shots in this situation?

Anyway, I don't know what caused this bug, nor how to fix it, but there ended up being 6 timers at the top of the screen as well. Other than that, though, this game is simply amazing. 5/5

I've been trying to fix that for a long time. It's over time gotten more rare... Can you say which mode and settings were on?

It was 4am, I was half asleep, I think it was on random, so it was across the board. I can't say for sure though. But we had 4 comps due to leavers and it happened in 2 games in a row. i turn off green and i haven't seen it since though

Add a mode to disable the comps, if someone leaves, they should be out, sucks when you start with 10, and end up with 3 people who wanna keep playing, but you gotta wait for all the comps to go.

Also, change the bullet / target selection, double vision + heroin = impossible to play, should have either a spell menu or at least icons to choose how many bullets to put in, then randomly have to click someone.

Also, the alcohol should go down over time, as I Was just in a game with someone who won like 14 rounds, only 3 of the rounds he lost, and he was at over 500 wood. I can't imagine how impossible it was to play.

Also, make the players be allied, and allow trading of gold, for bets and such, intervals of 25 for regular and 100 for shift click, another cool thing would be allowing the trading of wood, would make for a more fun game, to just send all the wood to one player.

The AI Works great, a very fun game, i found two problems, In hardcore mode, it is pretty hard for player red to click the shop, and if you get drunk.. you can barely click anything at all, and have to leave the game.
