As some may know, the upcoming title for Tetrageddon Arcade is titled Offender 2 (World War B: War on Rabbits).
It’s a delightfully epic violation of the senses taking place in the speculatively not to distant future where aliens (once again) attack Earth for the sake of abducting rabbits.
Much like the original Offender, this version will be a far more rounded, and over-the-top adaptation of the original.
It features gibs, adorable ass kicking rabbits with tons of attitude, and sociopathic aliens.
You play the aforementioned alien, and have to survive abducting the rabbits. Like I said, they have attitude.
It’s coming along beautifully. The engine is now fully completed, and it’s crazy addicting to play.
So, while we wait, here are some source code script bits that may come in handy for your own projects.
I found myself doing these a lot…
