Hello everyone! Here's a game I'm developing:    The game is something like a dual-stick shooter with some puzzly stuff. But I plan to add something more. I have some ideas for the name, but haven't decided. Maybe something EDGY. It's written in C++ / OpenGL and I plan to release it multi-platform (Win/Mac/Linux), and possibly iPhone / iOS. We'll see! Here are a few videos, showing some rough gameplay and some effects: Crystal shader, reflections / refractions and style test: Dark theme, shooting, explosions, chaos! |

Looks nice. What engine are you using?

he already said he's working in c++ and opengl, so I'm taking it something he's cooked up.
its looking really nice though.

Really nice graphical style. Along with the unique-sounding gameplay elements, this could be really cool. But there's not information about it yet. So I'll have to wait and see.  |

Beautiful, I liked the white more than the black.

Thanks guys!
Yep, it is a tiny minimalistic engine, developed side by side as the game needs more stuff.
Yeah, I like the white look as well. I want to have a variety of different 'worlds', some will be darker.

I applaud that you are using that development strategy.  Then you'll be able to reuse the game engine for some later project. Meanwhile... the graphics are really nice. Zthere some kind of shader action going on? |

Zthere some kind of shader action going on? From my experience with OpenGL (My game also runs on a custom (3D but pseudo 2D) engine that utilizes a lot of direct GL calls for speed.) it seems like the above tiny window is either an FBO or an GLSL render-target. I assume the window is there for verification/debug purposes. Probably he's rendering some ambient occlusion shader to a texture there and applying it to the game. Would explain the nice soft shadows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_occlusion |

Yeah, that's right. It's primarily used for effects. I feed it to some shaders. The AO is baked though |

That's looking gorgeous. Do you have any plans for antialiasing? I feel like it could really benefit from some smoother edges.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, definitely. I'll add that |

First of all, it's a great job, compliments! When the ship goes behind an object (e.g. at 28" of the first video) could you make that object transparent? I prefer the brighter theme because this put in evidence AO.

Finally had some time to work on this today.
Implemented smooth camera movement with dynamic zooming, trails, new experimental weapon thing, and over-the-top explosion sparkles! Updated video here:
And fireworks!

Yeah, I'll implement this, good point! |

Strange! It shows as public here. I'm guessing it will clear up soon.

Cool, I notice though that the shots/fireworks don't get reflected in the floor like other objects do.
I could see the fireworks one fine btw.

Nice perspective! I like the idea of a fixed camera. Time to think about a name for the game!  |

Alright! Did more stuff today! I call them 'Circuits':  The untextured thing in the middle is a generator. It is connected to the pads with wires. The orbs travel across the wires from the generator. When they arrive at the pads they materialize into enemies (specified by the type of the pad). Here's a video: I need to find better names for those things. The project lacks a name too.. doh. Naming crisis. and I need to remove that crappy pillar next time! Cool, I notice though that the shots/fireworks don't get reflected in the floor like other objects do.

Ah yeah, they were actually being reflected but were not visible due to color/blending. Updated video: Nice perspective! I like the idea of a fixed camera. Time to think about a name for the game! Haha yeah. |
