Title: [Limbo] Space Defenders Post by: YagerX on March 27, 2009, 02:58:14 AM Project in limbo. Support muchly appreciated.
(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn151/YagerX/Space%20Defender/Earth.gif) Flash. Retro. Music. :coffee: It's a flash game inspired by Bit.Trip. Its a reimagination of space invaders with a rythmn game in mind. Basically the seven "invaders" fire lasers (pew pew) at the earth and you must block them. If you block at the right time, the laser will cause your shield to resonate making a sound. Make several succesful blocks to create a rythmn! Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: YagerX on March 31, 2009, 12:26:33 AM Small update:

Thats the basic overview, I'll post the backstory later... Menu Test (http://megaswf.com/view/43486649d110d017a71ba258309c1af3.html) Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: havchr on April 01, 2009, 03:18:58 AM nice. Looking forward to test a prototype.
backstory doesn't matter much for this kind of game imho, so make a crazy one instead of a cliché :) Like, put your brain in crazy mode, then write the story. If someone doesn't understand the crazy story, they can still play the game. Read Kafka, Murakami, other surrealist writers, then write a story with that kind of vibe. Would be cool! :) Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: YagerX on April 01, 2009, 10:41:26 PM Better Menu with background and Title (http://megaswf.com/view/3aa9841fd739da701810d4379b092c0b.html)
Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: Fuzz on April 01, 2009, 10:46:22 PM Looking nice. :gentleman:
Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: YagerX on April 02, 2009, 01:56:06 AM Danke :p
Finally stopped prototyping and started splitting code into classes, Will start manually parsing music's melody into usable XML files. Does anyone know any to automagically generate files from music peak points? I tried flash.SoundMixer's compute spectrum but that doesnt really give me the spike that I need... Title: Re: Space Defenders Post by: YagerX on June 10, 2009, 10:57:46 PM Ah haven't posted here in a while, make lots of progress.
Auto-magically generating sounds now work, working on XML format and funky GFX. Hm...Why not, here's the current working build with lackluster effects.

Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: Damian on June 17, 2009, 04:53:58 AM I love the space invaders games, I was planing on making my own game about two weeks ago. Like the old version but my version of how it should look.
(http://i44.tinypic.com/wu42mt.gif) I couldn't program the basics so I gave up. Figures, well good luck. Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: MrChocolateBear on June 17, 2009, 01:37:06 PM I couldn't program the basics so I gave up. Figures, well good luck. If at first you don't succeed... consider collaborating with someone!Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: YagerX on June 20, 2009, 03:26:17 PM Finished xml parsing :D Now reads from an xml file!
Will upload a demo once I polish the graphics and finish the first song. Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: havchr on August 02, 2009, 04:15:15 AM nice. :)
Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: YagerX on August 02, 2009, 11:00:45 AM Haha thanks, almost forgot about this thread.
Yea uh development is on pause for a while(until november). But until then I "Should" be making a "few" new songs so check HERE (http://www.yagerx.com) for new progress? Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: keelids on August 02, 2009, 09:57:21 PM checked out the flash demo,
um...I am actually sure that it'd be something unique. though I know definitely that your music rocks. Big time. Like. Really. Anyhow, for anyone who has not, go check his blog already. The music there is awesome beyond the horizon. Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: YagerX on August 02, 2009, 10:16:56 PM Wait WHAT?
What flash demo? What music? I'm soo confused... EDIT: Oooh that flash demo...Haha forgot about that, need to make a new blog page for SD Stuff... EDIT: What I'm worried most right now is that it's TOO FRIGGIN HARD and its kinda not fun? I'm not sure... But I think the user generated content thing will be kinda cool Title: Re: Space Defenders 11|06 Post by: YagerX on August 07, 2009, 10:06:58 PM Did some more work on graphics (http://www.yagerx.com/?p=332) and added particle effects (http://www.yagerx.com/?p=347) (using Flint).
Still not satisfied with the look of the game though (need to put in some custom sprites for the sparks) Title: Re: Space Defenders 08|08 Post by: YagerX on October 27, 2009, 03:42:21 AM Completely lost motivation to finish the game...however if anyone wants to help make songs...
