Title: Unnamed Colorful Space Shooter [First GIFs] Post by: Matthew Rayfield on November 08, 2014, 03:52:51 PM I've been slowly working on a point-and-click adventure game type thing...
But while I wasn't making progress on that, I started tinkering around with a little Javascript particle engine I made the beginnings of a while back. This was the first thing it did: (http://0reo.com/goodies/images/particle-bear-dance2h.gif) Now, quite some months after making that. I thought I might add a model editing feature. Made a super simple one and did this little guy: (http://0reo.com/goodies/images/head-1h.gif) I kind of liked that, and started to think I could use this particle engine for a game. So I beefed up the editor some more and made a couple models to get me going: (http://0reo.com/goodies/images/hat-head-smoker-3-2h.gif) (http://0reo.com/goodies/images/ship-3-2h.gif) With that, I put together a little proof-of-concept type thing: (http://0reo.com/goodies/images/sss1.gif) It's totally not playable (you can move up and down and shoot), but I wanted to get a better visual feel and work out some of the technical stuff. Final game will not constantly spin the camera :biglaff: So that's where I'm at! I have a few ideas for where I want to take it. One thing I've taken some inspiration from is Einhander, which I only played a little bit of when I was younger. But for whatever reason, it left an impression on me. I also just played through, and loved, Kero Blaster. So some ideas from that are bouncing around my head as well. :cavestory: More to come... Thanks for looking! Interested to hear any thoughts :) Title: Re: Unnamed Colorful Space Shooter [First GIFs] Post by: Gtoknu on November 08, 2014, 04:09:52 PM SPHEROXELS LOLLLLL
seems very impressive, looking forward to it LOL Title: Re: Unnamed Colorful Space Shooter [First GIFs] Post by: ephoete on November 09, 2014, 04:40:05 AM I've found the graphical concept very interesting and original indeed.
I think the next step now is to find THE game concept that will truly make it valuable. :) Title: Re: Unnamed Colorful Space Shooter [First GIFs] Post by: zorg on November 09, 2014, 06:44:30 AM Destruction will be looking rad! :)

I think the next step now is to find THE game concept that will truly make it valuable. :) Definitely agree! Real game play is the next step. One concept I'm thinking on is the camera positioning thing. Having parts of levels play like a traditional side scrolling space shooter, and then having the camera swing behind you and getting more of a Space Harrier feel. Perhaps some directional changes too, going down into pits, up elevators, etc. Destruction will be looking rad! :) I agree-- can't wait to see enemies exploding into hundreds of spheres in all directions!
