I am currently in development of my first game, a shooting game called [Tom Clancy's] Splinter Cell  . Development was started Sunday, July 5. I have acquired the majority of the media off the internet, and made a few 'edits.' In this game, you have to survive the whole level, and capture the boss. You get to shoot the enemy with your gun. There are two enemies: one with a handgun, the other a machine gun. The enemies attack you from both sides. I'm doing my best to make everything the same style.

THE first dev demo is OUT NOW!! :: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Ludichris1/600335
(I didn't do all those stuff yet though... I couldn't wait ANY longer!! lol 

DEVELOPMENT NOTES (updated everyday hopefully):
1. (JULY 5 - 6) I completed the title screen today, but I still need to fix the subtitle bug  .
2. (JULY 6) The briefing screen is finished. The waiting time to read the text is 18 seconds; hope you can read the whole thing within that time  !
3. (JULY 6) I have just begun on the in-game part. The music and background have been placed, and a short player animation set down. That's all for today! 
4. (JULY 7) Finally the bug has been fixed! All I had to do was put the 'show' block at the beginning of the control block! Silly me. Though it doesn't make sense because I don't remember ever putting a 'hide' block in the script. Oh well 
5. (JULY 7) I finally uploaded some screenies; hope you like! 
6. (JULY 7) I almost got the movement right, but I'm stuck on the movement animations. And I can't figure out how to make the health meter, a visible variable, disappear when you press the green flag icon, and appear when I broadcast that "player is alive". Can someone help me on this? 
7. (JULY 8) W00t! I think... Anyway, I found out how to make the health meter invisible at the beginning  .
8. (JULY 8) You, the player, can move left and right now with an animation, but just the 'idle' animation; Not the 'walking' animation. Still at least the character is breathing! I also fixed up the health coins (I might change it to something else) to where if you have 100hp, it doesn't work and makes a 'Lazer1' sound, while if you have less than 100hp, it makes a 'Zoop' sound and you gain 5hp (might be subject to change).
9. (JULY 8) Oh yeah I made the bullets! I might change the sprite though. But the two problems are that: First, it doesn't appear where the gun is. But it DOES appear where the player is located, and where the player is aiming. Secondly, is that I don't know how to make an infinite amount of bullets, (for example two bullets right after the other in the same direction), AND with a slower frequency (so that your handgun doesn't become an ultra machine gun. I might need some help here. 
10. (JULY 9) I did the best I could and now the bullets are in the right spot  ! But there's still the bullet frequency and infinity thinggummy.
11. (JULY 9) Oh and I changed the health coin into a HP packet. I still haven't fixed the movement though. It's harder than you think, especially with animations going on. I think I will finish this in a much LATER version.
12. (JULY 10) The enemy sprites I was going to originally use aren't very big. I will have to resize them several times (each FRAME 1by1!). I DESPERATELY tried finding Splinter Cell enemy sprites, or anything of the sort, but to no avail. I will just have to stick with Metal Slug sprites...
13. (JULY 10) I've put down an enemy and its bullet hurt you, just as your bullets hurt him, BUT!!!:
* Both bullets do not follow there targets.
* When the enemy dies, it disappears, but doesn't stop shooting bullets, and making the gun sound.
* Enemy needs to face the player wherever the player is.
Besides that, to finish making the game, I need to:
* The game over procedure.
* The amount of enemies and attacking you from different spots.
* After enemies are defeated, the boss comes out and walks towards you.
* Player thinks "press 'W' to knock 'im out!". You press W which does an animation, plays a sound, and the enemy falls down unconscious.
* Then finally the win game procedure.
