ok. I am done for the evening. I added a 4th powerup that maxes the energy and the sheild of the player for a few seconds.
I'm not going to be able to work as much on weeknights now because I have track and field practice until 5. So I only have about 45 minutes to work on it after homework

work on this project


MOVIE TIME
Attached is a 6meg trailer of the game. Demo will come soon(probably this weekend)

(btw, the game will come about 2 days later than it says. I put the deadline for the Shmup contest. Also, there won't be that many powerups at a time )

wahhh! Me want comments

Anyway, I have ween working on the 1st level. Once it is finished and the powerups are modified, and a bomb is added, I will release the demo if anyone cares. No one seems to care about this project anymore, so I might not bother adding a demo. I will probably have it done tomorrow evening though (24 hours from now for people not in my timezone)

It's good, just needs a little more variation on the ships skins, and the music is dull, but it's good concept. Good job so far.
BTW - Is that all you've done so far?

Drew G, can you calm down

Quote: "just needs a little more variation on the ships skins"

Well, they are the same race of aliens, so they should be a little similar.

Quote: "and the music is dull"

Its temporary until SOMEBODY makes me the music *hint* *hint* Dodic
I don't think it is very dull though.

[EDIT]
Made 5th Alien. Its pretty evil. Uploaded new screenshot to first post.
Begun working on 2nd level.

The graphics are, well, not exactly the greatest ever.

However, the gamplay is quite amazing, and very fast paced. A very enjoyable game. Great Job.

Of cource not Only a very tiny bit can be the greatist ever . I think they are really good(at least the latest ones, the first 2 aren't as good as the others). David Gervais made them (btw, he's the cool guy who gives media to people who request some in the DBP board).

YAY Thanks

[Edit]Finished Level 2
Drew, the reason level one took forever is because I was coding the engine and everything. Now, since most of it is coded, it doesn't take that long to add an alien/level.

Ok. New update.
Made 6th(Last) Alien!
And a new alien weapon: Flamethrower.
There are 3 alien weapons: bullet, missle, flamethrower. The first 3 use bullets, 4th uses missles, 5th uses missles and bullets, and 6th uses flame thrower.
I also added 2 more player shooting levels. They are the same as shooting levels 1 and 2 except they fire faster.
You can now keep the fire button down instead of having to keep pressing it

[edit]3rd Level Finished with new snowy background

[edit]Boss image done and a large bug fixed

[edit]Game reached 1500 lines

Great work UFO, Bomb Roller was great, Lazer Assault 2 was great, this one looks awesome. You're sure to get in the top 10 or even top 3 with this one. I'd compare it too GeeCee's entry in eye candy, if it plays as well you'll win at less one prize. You deserve it!

Quote: "is this project going to be open source"

yep. I will always (and always have) released source code for completed projects. Except for if I sell them, but that won't happen very soon . I might wait until after I do more work on it to release the source. I want to add a few more aliens, and make 2 more levels (each level has 4 areas).

Quote: "Looking foward for a new demo."

Sorry. No new demo. The compo will end in 12 days. You can get it then. Be patient!

Quote: "Keep us posted."

I will once something is finished. I have been working on the boss. It has been pretty hard. But I am hoping to finish it today. The rest of this week and next will be used for polishing and adding the menu. I will post the list of things I want to polish once I begin.

[edit] lol. Posted at the same time. Considering this thread hasn't been very hot lately, this is pretty weird

I finished the boss! YAY! It is a little too hard though. I might make it easier.
The circle things behind the boss are its power generators. It you destroy one, the explosion will damage the boss. You can just shoot the boss, but it would take a while without destroying the power generators.

The game is now good enough to be entered into the compo, but I am still going to add a menu and polish it and stuff.
I have an awesome idea for the menu.

POLISHING TO-DO LIST
*Add coins to collect for destroyed aliens
*Camera Shake effect for large explosions
*Make boss explosion bigger
*Somehow make explosions brighter and cooler looking
*Add Menu
*Add Help
*Add Options

He put a star next to it. That means it's done I think.

Camera shaking sounds like a good idea, can't wait to see how it turns out.
