Hey, I played 5-10 minutes so maybe this is not a valuable review for you!

What I liked:
- the graphics
- the music

What I didn't like:
- slow gameplay (come one move that ship around!)
- not enough lives
- finite # of bullets (especially during the boss fight)

I think theres another game forgotten in there too, but I cant put my finger on it...

It was my game ! I showed it at the near end of the event (my fault really, the original backbuffer was 1280x720 which caused problems on the projector so I had to edit it and recompile it on the spot)

Sexy!

I made a blog post about how I created the dynamic enemies' path for my game.

Oh... ok!

An RPG in which each character (including the main character) has multiple places they could be attacked (i.e. lwgs, stomach, arms, head, etc.) and where you hit (or where you ARE hit) affect stats in different ways

Reminds me of Fallout. For instance, you can't run when you have a crippled leg.

I don't get what he wants to do. Could someone explain it to me like I was 4 years old?

In Ruby, I would do it this way (let's say solution.rb) :

Code:

# Problem's variables

fill_rate = ARGV[0].to_f    # liter / second
tank_width = ARGV[1].to_f   # meters
tank_height = ARGV[2].to_f  # meters


# Solution

rate_of_change = (fill_rate * 1000) / (tank_width * tank_height * 10000)


# Print the solution

puts rate_of_change

and I would use my script this way :

Code:

ruby solution.rb 20 1 2

Not sure if it's accurate but it gives you an idea. Add some boilerplate code and you have a Java program

It's a sad day Bonne chance with the zergs.

I like it a lot ! Smooth animations, nice jump effect.

How about reloading the shotgun a-la-Terminator? (

)

And a little annunciation when a hole is approaching ?

I still think the game is too quiet and boring.

Maybe by making the enemies more aggressive, you won't have this feeling.

thanks man  , how far do u get?

I reached the boss a couple of times but didn't kill it.
I'm the type of guy that give up on 2-3 failed attempts

It's hard but fun Good job!

I'm participating at the 3rd Independent Game Developers’ Competition hosted by IndiePub Games, which means you can play Commander, like right now ! (well after a little 200mb download. Damn you, XNA Windows releases that keep music uncompressed).

For this competition, I made a special first world where you can taste most of the features of the game so you’ll have a really good idea of the final product.

DEMO HERE: http://www.indiepubgames.com/game/Commander

Please let me know what you think of it / what should I do to make it better

Unfortunately I'm not available for a new project but I just wanted to say that your music is really beautiful.

I've developed a really bad habit of obsessing about the game.

I share the pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm a drug addict.

I love the name! Very Google-friendly

The original name for the game was Tower Defense Armageddon but it lacked originality. I then went for Neo Commander (because N.E.O. means Near-Earth Objects) and I finally chose Commander because :
1) I don't know any game with that title (I mean, only this word in the title...)
2) It is as simple as possible, which is one of the keywords of my design (yeah I know we all strive for simplicity...)

I didn't really care about Google when I chose the name but now that you mention it, I probably should have called it Super Sexy Commander : A tower defense videogame.

Yes I plan to release it on XBLIG!

I made all the backgrounds with The Pillars of Creation

Hi guys,

I am in the "polishing, trying to make it run at 60fps on the Xbox, web site, bugs fixing" phase of my project and I wanted to show you the direction it's taking. Basically, it's a tower defense (oh, no, not again.) but with a little twist: you can modify the enemies' path with a special gravitational turret.

Watch the trailer in HD, yo.

Here's a bunch of screenshots

I wanted to create a joyful/naive environnement (but still epic) so I added things like :
- Turrets (I call them mercenaries in my game) that says inspirational quotes from time to time (screenshot 4 are only placeholders )
- Music by Frederic Chopin and simple sound effects

On screenshot 1 and 2 you can see that I made the menus with my ingame stuff because I hate menus and wanted the player to be "right into the game" from the beginning.

Hope you like it. I'm building www.ephemeregames.com right now and I'll try to post news about my progress on my "break times"

Woah I didn't know that, thanks KM!
