That was kind of hard, but we managed to finish both projects.

The second project for Assemblee competition Part 2 is called RAKSHASAS.
It is a co-op survival for 2 players, who control a pair of mighty demons aiding a luckless thief.
Lurking in the underground treasury of the wicked Mage Guild the criminal comes into possesion of two mysterious rings and summons rakshasas - creatures of untold powers. Out of some sadistic interest they decide to help the unfortunate guy to get out of the Guild's castle.

Actually, that is the first project, but Space Smuggler was a tryout that suddenly turned into a complete game.

There are only 4 levels in the game (out of many))): dungeon, forest (or rather some garden), knights chamber and the Wizard's chamber. Players goal is to destroy all living\mystical\mechanical creatures on the level and save the defenseless thief.

We playtested it quite a lot, but still not enough to make levels gradually difficult, so it may seem to be quite a hardcore. Also, we did not have much time to add bonus system and several abilites we wanted rakshasas to have. But we like the game even in that state.

Poster for RAKSHASAS - the 2nd project.
Thank you FIFTH for these awesome guys!! As soon as we saw them - we've got the idea for that game.



The first project, called SPACE SMUGGLER is READY and we would be very glad if you try it out.

Here is some HELP.



So.. you are a space smuggler and you job is to survive 5 attacks (encounters) at your ship. The ship skin was badly damaged during the recent meteor storm and some parts of it are now unstable - they can be destroyed by a single shot of your blaster. There are MORE problems for you to expect, but that's suprise)

SPOILER! Encounters (the HARD mode) are:
1) Inter-galactic police. These adamant guys need you alive, they will try to get close to you and stun.
2) Slime - not really an encounter. Slime arrives due to pulp leakage.
3) Octopus - some cosmic pest that can clone itself. The sooner it is destroyed - the better. It is very fast.
4) Demented pilots. Years in cryostasis turned them totally insane. They will run around the ship and fire their blasters at will. Luckily their weapons do not destroy the ship skin.
5) Martian terrorists (Oh, so sweet and nice piggies! -Grr.). Their goal is to .. [ find it out yourself ].

!CHEAT
You can try pressing 1,2,3,4,5.
This will launch according wave of enemies of the HARD mode.
That's for you to try everything out if it is too difficult.

Details will follow shortly after.

That is the banner for the first game "Space Smuggler".
It is based solely upon the Oryx's 1-bit Sci Fi expansion which is awesome.

I hope there aren't cavity searches in this game.   

[Attribute Clash]

)) No, there won't be any caves for sure) All you have is a small space ship somewhere.. in space))

[oryx]

Awesome! Make this, I want to see.

[Attribute Clash]

Interesting game I finally beat it in easy mode after dying many times by depressurization.

When I hit space on the credits screen it makes a noise but doesn't progress to the game...

[Petethegoat]

Hey, if you want, I can create an exe of this for you, to get rid of the ugly splash screen.
That said, I don't know how legal that would be.

Shouldn't be an issue, I would hope.

[J. R. Hill]

Package it in a zip with a readme.txt, it's what the cool kids do.

In fact, we don't need readme already, because of the first post. There is some help and spoilers which can help also.

When I hit space on the credits screen it makes a noise but doesn't progress to the game...

I don't know why it doesn't work, i have checked it once again. If it still the same, pls tell us.

Petethegoat
Thank's, but it's ok to have that splash screen)) but if you don't mind we'll ask you a little bit later!

[Petethegoat]

Sure thing, just send me a PM. 

[J. R. Hill]

Nah still gives me the same thing, although if I mash a bunch of keys it'll eventually give me an error.  I think this has something to do with my computer just not liking certain GM games.

check out your antivirus or firewall. even i sometimes can't launch the game from GM because of it.

[J. R. Hill]

Antivirus?  Firewall?
I live on the edge.

then i don't know how to help you. if you want i can made small video for the game, maybe you won't play it)))

The second game (actually the first, as it was in plans earlier than Space Smuggler), called "Rakshasas" is almost finished! It will be the last second entry))
