Team Echo, SloopyGoop and Theo Present:  The game uses XNA, so it only works on Windows (so far as I know), and requires a small framework to be installed to play. For people who do not have the framework (Use this if you are unsure): Download Here with framework (8MB) For people who already have the framework: Download Here without framework (2MB) I am amazed at how awesome this has turned out. The graphics, music and game have really worked well in a crazy kinda way. Note: The purple guys that do not move are power-ups, hitting them is a good idea, they appear every 20 seconds or so. |

Aw crap, I don't have a graphics card with pixel shader or vertex shader! Can you post a gameplay vid, Echo?

I selfishly took this collab as a reason to test out a gameplay idea I had. I think it has potential, but I'm not sure where to take it. I guess I'll have to think about it. This prototype shows off that gameplay: http://www.dreamofwinds.com/bulletproto.zipIt's mouse-only. Use the left mouse button to aim, and the right mouse-button (+ dragging) to zoom in and out. Right now you can't die and there are way more enemies that would be intentional. The AI is also kinda screwy.... The game itself will have you reloading into your own guys (rather than killing them as it does now) and you will be limited to the number of soldiers you can have on the field. Also, stuff will kill you. I also have a planned use for every sprite I was given, but only one enemy is currently working. Kevin, Pgil, I'd appreciate any input you have. If you're interested in pursuing this project, just let me know. If you aren't, that's fine too! We all have things to do.  |

Oh, man, that looks even crazier than I intended. I don't know about you guys, but I had fun with this.

Does it allow you to install the framework? If you have done that, there may be a way to get it to run (albeit slowly). I'll upload a vid tonight regardless  |

Thanks for catching that Kadoba. I always forget about the DLLs!  To answer a comment about "what do I do in the game?" (not in this thread.) Uh...there isn't anything to do yet. In about 2 weeks, I should have a much better idea of how the game is actually played using the gameplay featured in the prototype. I hope, anyway. |

Aquin: I like it. Even though I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing it's fun to play around with. If you're planning on continuing this outside the confines of the collaboration, I can probably help out a bit on the graphical end of things(assuming the workload won't be too heavy). Feel free to ask for whatever, whenever.
As for the experiment in general, I thought it was great. I'd like to have another go at it, as I felt a bit... inhibited or shy about it or something. The great thing about this for me is that it has the potential to spawn not only some great games, but also some really funny ones based on a total graphics/music/gameplay mismatch. I figured most games would be some kind of shooter, so I drew some bland shooter-type sprites which I thought had the best chance of fitting well with whatever the programmer whipped up. I wish I'd been a bit more creative and just drawn whatever.
To sum up: we should do this again some time!

Aquin: I thought it was a really cool concept. I was having fun hitting the enemy soldiers while keeping the good guys out of the line of fire. It's a pretty unique control sceme, so it will be fun to see what kind of gameplay emerges from that. I should be able to help out.. maybe with some more suitable music  EchoP: GAhh! That's crazy. It's too bad my computer doesn't like XNA. |

Thanks for posting that video, Echo. I'm cracking up at how strange it all is--the surreal sprites and background, the frantic pace and pressure of the game, and the unbelievably laid-back nature of of the music. I'll have to try to play it on a different computer sometime.

Strangely the game is somewhat like the one with a big beard man on the background :D |
