Overdrive

Its a steaming pile right now, but here's the next version of the player ship.

Wow, thats neat looking

lol As soon as I posted that I started making something better. Here's the new design, shaded only at the basic level. Work continues...now.

wow, you need to try and make this better than rtype final...they need to make a new rtype...

Okay, the last image of the four is the new ship for now.

That looks great, Arrow.

And, I was able to produce BOE's problem. You just have to get close to the top of the screen.

Also, when can we expect a new demo?

LOL it's only been two days...Soon enough I suppose, I made a new stage, so I'm killing the lag there, and I think I'm gonna redesign the ship again. Too long, too difficult to maneuver. It's like tearing through a hairpin turn in a stretch limo.

OMG. Title screen GET!

UPDATE INCOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

(no new enemy though.)

See first post for moar details! FILE SIZE HAS INCREASED CONSIDERABLY DUE TO THE INCLUSION OF ONE MP3!

Well this is pretty awesome :O

Tonight I'm going to add the new enemy, then clean up the sky demo, and I'm going to TRY to make a new weapon.

Of course this is all contingent on me making sure I am ready for a make-up test in Spanish tomorrow.

DAMN IT I hate that class.

I'm not quite sure how it happened, but while playing on the laser test, I managed to get a wierd bug. The special attack constantly went, with out stopping. I tried to make it do it again, but I couldn't. I just thought I would tell you. Maybe it was just a chance bug?

Sounds like it. If you could, I'd REALLY appreciate you continuing to attempt reproducing that error, because that's a pretty serious error.

Shoot, I've been trying to figure this out for the last hour.... I can't recreate that error.... If I ever run across it again, I'll be sure to let you know.

And its not just you who wants to know. Its bugging the hell out of me.

I think it would look cool if the glare in the window would move.



Not this crappy of course... and not really the same movement, more of a from left to right...

Could be done, yes. Only reason it isn't yet is because I'm still implementing a measure that checks if there is a moving lightsource in the room. Plus, it'd have to match the speed of the room to look right.

posting so that i stay on top of this project

i found the error when you are shooting the lazer......-_- sorry im half asleep....if you get a power up when firing the lazer it will start firing without end...

Aha! Thank you!

Of course, I have no idea what would be causing that...

just a suggestion that would probably make it easier in the full game (you've probably already thought of this). but have a messages pop up and scroll up and fade telling you what weapon you've picked up. or have laser and the fireball icons (that you pick up) look different to distinguish what weapon you're going for. i realize it's not neccessary for the demo tho when the 2 different one only show the weapon. but i agree with everyone. this game is extremely fun! 

So fun in fact, that I should have updated by now. I am working guys, but I'm working on a massive overhaul, one worthy of actually being called an update. Please be patient, and you will be satisfied. :8
