Sorry, it just didn't seem like you...
I downloaded it, and I liked it. You should just slow down a little slower, and the enemies should be a little bigger (they are too hard to shoot). But nice game so far. I would like to see the 3rd demo with the new enemy models!

Edit: second page

Glad you like it!

He... I think you're the third to say that. I'm already looking at it.

Quote: "and the enemies should be a little bigger (they are too hard to shoot)"


Never thought about this... I will see how it would work out.

Yeah... Let's see how it's gonna look

Thanks for the comment!

update:

If you follow the update list... You'll see that the only thing I'm missing to do now is to test it! Then demo 3 will be released! I was sure I had more on that list! But apperantly I hadn't

If the testing goes well, you should be able to download Demo 3 soon!

Seeking persons to test the new demo

Well... I'm gonna test it a little now... But first I wanna ask if there was anyone here that would be able to help testing it? This way I can collect results of the game running on other computers... To see how it runs. You will be included in the credits if you help beta testing.
Now I don't want this thread to be filled() with "Let me beta test!" etc... So anyone who are interested please email me at:

kattenolleREMOVETHIS@hotmail.com

Any request of getting in the "testing team" happening in this thread will be ignored, so no reason to post it here at all.

Thanks

Thanks!

Quote: "hope it doesn't have too many bugs then"


I surely doesn't hope that too! Infact I fixed a huge bug in the game today! I somehow forgot to delete the enemies bullets, which when you had played the game for while the fps would start to drop VERY much. And then followed by a "object already exist" error. But it's taken care of now! So this adds a big + to Demo 3!

Quote: "will you add some kind of highscore to it?"


Yes Infact there is already a highscore system in it! It is based on how many points you've got and what "army" you made it to. The army is everytime you kill all enemies... And example would be:

There is 3 enemies flying around(This is army 1), shoot them all and there will appear 4 new enemies! You've now reached army 2 etc...

When you're back in the menu, you can read your highscore in the top left corner It will appear until you beat it, and a new one will come! My ultimate goal would diffinately be to get online highscore in the game!

Hi all!

Little new update here. Today I just took the time to implement a little 3D background for the menu, so it would not look as boring
Here you got a screenshot:


Sorry about the buttons, I made them. It's my first try on making buttons anyway, so they will just be placeholders. Also in the picture, the ship is a little too much to the left, it's taken care of.

Also a little note to anyone, if you beta test the game, you will of course be included in the credits.

Oh and by the way, have anyone found the modable file in the media folder yet? You can change the background of the game with that one! Hehe.

Well, that's possible now!

Demo 3 released!

Hi!

The beta testing was very quick! And it seemed to work(Yes.. Only 1 person tested it. So the demo 3 is uploaded! I hadn't got the time to collect the others, It was so close to release anyway... I already seek beta testers to test Demo 4 when it's ready. That way I have more time to plan all that have to do with beta testing etc... So if anyone is interested then please tell me Same way as before, email me.

Demo 3 Download Link
http://www.nerd.galekus.com/SpaceBattle_Shootout_Demo_3.rar

There is a Readme file included where you can read about all new features and changes.

I hope you guys will enjoy it!

Cheers,

I like it

The options and credits don't work on the menu but my guess is you know that?

The texture on the cloth at the beginning needs work - perhaps a nice log with a black background would look cool as then only the logo flapping rather than the whole square would be visible - also, hide the boxes in the top corners

The Planets in the background still look squished - would you like me to try and edit the textures to make them scale better? Also if you would like some music theres some free mp3s for games on my site using the same log-in details I sent you before for model pro

Anyway good job its a fun game and progressing well I like the enemy ships they look great in the top down view and the particle and shooting effects are cool

Yup, I'm aware of this. I didn't really got the time to focus more on the main menu than just the basics

Quote: "The texture on the cloth at the beginning needs work - perhaps a nice log with a black background would look cool as then only the logo flapping rather than the whole square would be visible - also, hide the boxes in the top corners"


Yeah, indeed it needs work. I made it, that's why
Cool idea about the logo thing! Sure I will look into this.

I'm ashamed... I haven't even thought about the boxes... This will change. Thanks for the reminding hehe.

I think I know how to make the background look better But thanks for the offering the help!
I will try and listing to the music, and see if I like it

Lol, I forgot to e-mail you sorry. Downloading

Ok. Good Job! I really like the blanket type effect at the begining of the game
Suggestions:
*Make enemy ships face the direction they are going
*make them shoot more randomly(when they are just created, they all shoot at the same time)
*Make the player ship lighter! It is so hard to see!!
*The credits and options buttons launch the game
*More kinds of enemies(I'm sure you will get to this)
*Sound when you are hit by an enemy bullet

Yeah... I've had some problems with fixing this one... But I will keep looking at it, until it's fixed.

Quote: "make them shoot more randomly(when they are just created, they all shoot at the same time)"


I know why they're shooting at the same time each time they start. That's because all the enemies are giving a variable to count down when they are shooting. And in the very start, it's 0. I could change this

Quote: "Make the player ship lighter! It is so hard to see!!"


I know, I'm gonna change the player ship model totally.

Quote: "The credits and options buttons launch the game"


Yup, I didn't focused on the menu system for Demo 3

Quote: "More kinds of enemies(I'm sure you will get to this)"


Indeed I do... Infact, I already got a new enemy model, that just waits to be implemented.

Quote: "Sound when you are hit by an enemy bullet"


Yeah... It's quite frustrating when nothing indicates that you've been hit

Thanks for the comment! I'm also glad that you took the time to write down those mentions.

Cheers,

Hi all!

I just got a little new feature implementet (Thanks to Lukas W for the idea). When your energy is lower than 40, the fire particles behind the player will change to smoke! Here is a little picture of it:


It looks better in the game thought, the picture makes it all a little dark. The particle is made with my Particle Engine Just like the fire particle. The textures I use was following with Cloth and particle pack, so I can't take credits for those.

Also the background is changed so the planets dosn't look squished... Thought it still looks like they do in the pictures... But that's just the pixel size that do it.

Small Update

Right... First of all I've implemented a small new feature to the game... A pause system I find this one very helpfull. Then I've also fixed a bug! Now the ships finally points in the right directions!

And another thing... SpaceBattle Shootout just got a website! I made it in Frontpage... But it looks good enough anyway...

Yeah... I've had some problems with the website
Keep trying

Small updates too.
I've made a small ending sequence when you lose! Looks really cool!
The player ship starts to rotate and at the same time, the camera starts to zoom in on it. And as last, the ship explodes.

Next thing I'm gonna get into the game, is gonna be lifes. And after that, I will hopefully get a power-up system implementet!

Also the new enemy is implementet! I don't have a screenshot right now, but I will get one up tommorow

No problem!

Sorry for the lack of updates this week... Too much have happened
First of all I got WOW... SO FUN! Then later on the week, I finally got my xbox 360! So I haven't really got the time to work on the game this week. Thought I hope to get back to it next week.

Also the achievement system is now implementet! So now I can easely add new achievements to the game!

That's all for now!

Hi all!

Okay, so I've added a new achievement to the game using the achievement system! Works really well!

Also I've added the first weapon upgrade! It will make you shoot with double lasers. I will show a screenshot of it, when I've added it properly

I've just uploaded a small video(around 2.30MB). It will show the pop-up window that will show in the left corner Download it here:

Sorry about the framerate and the blue background... It ain't that bad really It's just the video that made it look like that.

I ain't stopping to update just because I don't get any comments!

Today I will take on skiing holiday! And I will not be home again before around February 11(in 2006 of course... Hehe)

But I still worked on the game today! And some of the new stuff must be that I made the window system timed! So now the window will disapear at the same time on every computer... So you can get a change to read the text I'm very happy with this update!

Then I've also just implemented the first weapon upgrade to the game! It's quite simple, but effective. It will increase the damage done by your lasers with 1. Maybe it dosn't sound as much... But it's very effective in the game.

Also I'm started to implement new buttons to the menu. They look alot better than the old ones!

I haven't bumped into any fps problems yet... Right now the game runs really good. And that's constantly running on 66 fps! Even when the window shows.

If you leave any questions and comments I will answer them as soon as possible(When I get home... I will not have access to the internet on the holiday...)

Regards,

The Nerd

Update

Okay, a small update here

Today I started to implement new weapon upgrades(and I've done that), also I'm currently working on a shield!

Here's how it currently looks like:


Any comments and critics would be appriaciated on the look of the shield in those early stages That way, it's easier for me to go after what the user want from the very start.

Right now, the shield don't have any functunality at all... So that's what I'm gonna work on tonight. I also have some plans for this shield... Just like you can - by upgrades - increase the laser damage, I think it would be cool if you by upgrades, would be able to increase the shields power and lifetime etc...

What the shield is for? Oh... Just so you can't take damage in a decided amount of time It should be very effective in the higher levels!

Update

Hi all!

Today I just squashed a bug that have annoyed me some time now! I'm very pleased with this! What the bug did? Well... I don't know if you guys have noticed it, but for every new army you make it to, the more the enemy lasers increase in speed. Of course this could have been used to make it harder... But if I did this, I would be impossible to get too far in the game...

I'm gonna work more on the shield today too

Update

New update!

I've optimized the code, and also made the game more stable by removing more bugs

Also I've new got the shield system implementet! And it works very well.

I'm gonna balance some more things in the game, add more upgrades, and then I think we're ready for a demo 4!

DEMO 4 RELEASED

Hi all!

Demo 4 is finally here! Or you could call it Demo 4 beta... Because there are still a bad thing about it... The menu looks awfull right now But it will of course get fixed... Here's the download link!:
http://www.nerd.galekus.com/Demo_4.rar

Again, a readme file has been included where you can read about changes and new features... And a new achievement and weapon upgrade text document has also been included, where you can read about the current achievements and weapon upgrades in the game, and how to get them.

Use the shield by pressing the "s" key... Note that you'll have to unlock it first! Find out how to do that by looking in the Achievement and weapon upgrades document...

I need to balance the shield more thought... Will be done in next release.

Enjoy!

Plans for final version(Next release!)

Here you got some plans for next release:

*New player ship model
*mines
*Get the menu done
*A training level
*Fully done user guide for the game
*Another new enemy
*As much bug fixing and code optimitation as I can
*More achievements and weapon upgrades
*Make the background switch between diffrent images
*Balance shield to fit with gameplay

Excellent!! I love it!

A few things:

It's quite dark and hard to see everything
When you kill one enemy some others just come up randomly
I think it would be better if it had a more asteroids type movement


Other than that I find it very addicting! Well done!

Thanks for the nice comments Zotoaster!

Hmmm... It ain't that on my computer... Could you maybe provide a screenshot?

Quote: "When you kill one enemy some others just come up randomly"


Maybe you're a little confused about the army system It starts off at army 1 with one enemy... Shoot that, and 2 will appear, shoot them and 3 will appear etc... And they do start off in random positions.

I will try and experience with the controls then

Thanks!

Small Update

Mines now work! You can place mines up blow up the enemies!
Click this link for screenshot of it:
