I decided I need to show off my ability to make a networked multiplayer game and offer something in my portfolio that people can play from home. I decided to take a bunch of features from Samurai Jetpack and use them in a new game called Showdown Throwdown.
This game will be in two parts: one for the arcade and one for home. The biggest difference being in the multiplayer. The arcade version will be a 4 player arcade game with four different screens, the home version will offer both network and split screen multiplayer.
I think Showdown Throwdown could be a small series of games so I am adding a tag line for the first one just in case.
