After seeing the video, I gotta say: This needs MORE SPEED!
Well the game accelerates as you play... if you can manage to survive it is pretty fast :)
Nice bro, telling my friends about this
Is this game demanding? If it isn`t i might pick it up to play on my laptop (craptop)
Well it works on my 2 laptops here.
one very old with an ati card and one more recent with an intel gma4500mhd.
Try the demo and you'll see :)
Didn`t really run all that well on my laptop. Also, inverted controls? What were you thinking ? :(
Inverted controls make sense for an aircraft/spacecraft game. That's how they work in real life.
You know you can reconfigure controls as you want ?
I like it, reminds me of starfox!
Also i love cel-shading and it looks slightly cel-shaded so i'm happy about that :)
Yes we use our own format, although it's very simple. Our editor outputs human readable data and then I convert them in binary files.
The enemy spawning is not very dynamic. Each environment has a few different levels to avoid having the same run. They look similar but there are small differences. The game randomly choose what level is next (but the environment stays the same). And then the enemies spawn when the hero arrives according to the current speed of the game.
There is no scripting system. In our editor, enemies are placed in the level and you can choose a few properties like their behavior, if they come in a wave, how much enemies are in the wave...
I'd like to make the editor more usable and then release it under gpl or bsd.
I hope that answers your questions :)
