Torque Melee Combat

I am currently working on a multiplayer, melee combat experience. I have been a registered Torque owner for quite some time and have finally decided to build a fun, multiplayer game on top of it.

I am currently rewriting the memory manager, removing the scripting system, modifying the input system, beefing up the character animation system, and unfolding the observer pattern in the code where possible.

If you read this plan and you would like to get involved, shoot me an email or IM. I am not going to post an official project until i get the code in a state where I am happy with it. I will also need modelers and animators at some point.

Submit your own resources!

Is your head in a fishtank? All I could think was "he looks like a cool guy I've never heard from..." and "fishy."

EDIT:
Noticed that your profile seemed to cut off somewhere in there. Welcome to the community (even though you were formerly lurking). You've worked on some great titles and am interested in seeing how melee combat turns out!

Huh?

I'm very interested in a melee combat system but I'm not sure what direction you're headed in here.

Can you elaborate on what you're doing with the Melee Combat stuph. I'm also working on it atm and made some changes that add alot of fun to it...

@David - Yeah, it is a fish tank. My office has nearly 700 gallons of fresh and saltwater fish -- most of it surrounding some very expensive hardware. If you look closely you can see a reflection of my server monitor :D

@Jeremy - I am dropping TS entirely in favor of plug-ins (dlls).

@Burning - For the play mechanics, imagine "Tekken Tag" and "Rival Schools" in a multiplayer environment. It is a game I wanted to make for quite some time.

If it has a Rival Schools element, then I'm DEFINITELY interested in seeing more as it matures!

Wow. 700 gallons? That has to be one of the most relaxing office spaces ever!

The whole melee/fighting thing has been rumbling in the background of the community for years. It's nice to see that there's finally some movement on it! Good luck.
