It didn’t take me very long to come up with a game I wanted to clone, because I had thought about it before. I might skip destructible terrain, and the weapon selection will likely be very limited. I’ll also be trying out a gamepad control scheme instead of the classic keyboard controls. I’m calling it “Mato” for now. The screenshot should be pretty recognisable for anyone who’s played the original.

I’m starting out with the Löve game engine, but I haven’t actually used it before so I might scrap it if I feel hindered by it. I kinda do want to use scripts for defining the various weapons and stuff though, so Lua will most likely be a part of the project.
