TIGSource Forums

Hello all, new to the forums.  This here topic is a request for feedback on a game my friend and I have been developing for an agonizingly long amount of time (five years). The game is now as finished as it's going to get as this is its last version.  Nonetheless I haven't gotten much opinion on it, so I would appreciate it if I could get some commentary on it!

The game is a top down shooter, in classic tank arcade style.  It has a science fiction story taking place on the fictional ice planet Atrigo, one which pits the player's human resistance (the Nemesis) against an oppressive government that utilizes robot warriors (the Genesis).  The civil war is not the only thing at stake, for a race of imperialistic aliens called the Helion are also out to claim the planet as their own.

This last release has three pilotable vehicles and six campaign scenarios, with variable difficulty levels available.  The game also includes a load of developer commentary on what we wanted to do, what we did do, and loads of things you probably don't even want developer commentary on.

Here are some screenshots;

Let me know what you think, please!  :)

Hey, I've played this!

What I can say directly is that you should find an alternative to the basic MMF race car (or bouncing ball?) movement, and create your own custom one - the collision detection is a bit strange currently. Also the difficulty curve is quite steep. I'll play more later! :)

Bump.  We finished ATW, check out the first post for more info and a download link!
