Got a 95 on the test 

Progress Update
I'm sick again so bleh, anyways I polished up some stuff, added particles for when you move and jump.
Fixed particles for the enemies to be better (Though they still need to take into account the speed of the object that kills them)
Tilesheets are now able to support a lot more tiles from a small tweak.
Added in Green's art and it looks awesome.

I want to get a demo out soon, though it will probably be buggy I guess that's the point. Hopefully this weekend Rasse will animate the characters and I can release that demo. Anyways the to do list for it would be:

Animated characters
Add a button to pickup objects(so you don't have to move slower just because crap is in your way)
Give turrets health
Make stacked players look better
Document some of the server stuff

Currently controls are:
Z - Jump
X - Shoot
Left/Right - Move

I think I'll shift everything right one because I read somewhere french/german keyboards don't have a z in the bottom left corner.

So I want:
X - Jump
C - Shoot
V - Pickup/putdown
Left/Right - Move

I'll definitely have custom controls as well since I don't find that very comfortable at all.

Yaaaaay(well done on that test).

Looking forward to more updates - keep it coming :D

I'm not sure about that pickup button. I actually like autopickup in these kind of games. If you don't want something, just don't walk over it.

^ Oh, cool. Different characters for different levels? Or are those enemies? Either way, they're excellent.

What kind of 'pickup' button is it for? For crates and weapons? Or things that can get in your way?

Well sometimes it can be hard to avoid picking stuff up. I guess I'll leave it out of the demo and we can decide then. I love that art so much. I'll definitely be putting these in for character selections.

It's to pickup things that can get in your way such as turrets and coins. (Since you want to position turrets precisely, and coins make you move slower and don't let you jump)

Progress Update

I realized I haven't really showed off more than screens so here's a video of everything (including lotsa glitches that I have to fix)

Green is awesome. Thanks, obviously a lot of the stuff is placeholder art still. I will





A new map with the grassy tileset. Enemies only spawn in the two center ones, and fast enemies can only come from the far ones.

Progress Update



I have the graphics for the guns and everything is set up for implementation but I won't get to it tonight.  Demo soon  ?

I like how it's still different than super crate box. Have you had any luck testing with multiple players yet?

[Gravity Games]

Nice! It looks like it plays like Super Crate Box just enough to feel the same yet different at the same time!

I want to add characters other than the knight, such as the cube from Six Sided Sanctuary as playable. They will simply be aesthetic. Maybe references to other games if the creators let me

In case you still need more players for your roster, any of my characters are fair game for anything non-profit (seriously, I'd probably even make the graphics for you just to be referenced...). Yeah, I know you probably won't use any, but it was just a thought...

Still in need of art? I can maybe squeeze in some things while working on other stuff.

Rasse has it handled, and I think I'm alright with the current roster .

Progress Update

Rasse did the animations and guns and they look fantastic! I still have to align the guns in the player's hands properly but it won't be long until a demo!

Animated characters
Add a button to pickup objects(so you don't have to move slower just because crap is in your way)Not going to be in this update if it ever happens
Give turrets health
Make stacked players look better
Document some of the server stuff

As for the readme, I'm thinking about hosting it on google docs. Not sure if that's a good or a terrible idea. Either way, it's completely done.

Here's a video that shows off the animations. Still tweaking to do of course.

I think the black dots falling from the player are a bit awkward, and the enemies spinning down after dying is a bit distracting. Otherwise, development's looking good. Are you sure you want the camera to show so much of the blank space in the level?

Yeah I think I should disable the black dots they really don't make sense. I'll have the enemies be optional, as I like them but I can see how it's distracting. The camera is eventually going to stop scrolling when it reaches the corners of the levels, I just have to implement that.
