( don't mind the voices, I was in a Skype call while messing with stuff and only now have I realized my friends' voices got recorded )
I think it's not too much to say that I've taken to this pretty well already.

Anyway, from there I decided to see if I could use that in something with actual gameplay, which resulted in this ( this is the download link ), a sort of Crimsonland arena thing where monsters constantly spawn and so do weapons and items. Medikits heal you to full, pistol has unlimited ammo, chaingun is fast, shotgun can blast enemies away if you shoot them up close, and the rocket launcher still does what it does in the video.
It's still really basic from a gameplay standpoint, but I wanted to share this and see what others think because this seems like something fun to mess with. Plus, I've been needing another hobby to keep my occupied when I don't have friends around.
