Great graphics, what software are u using?

Thanks. I'm using Photoshop CS3 for the backgrounds and Flash CS4 for everything else.

I really like the plane dropping from the sky, as opposed to just exploding.

Posting my coding schedule for this week so I can try to stick to it.

by monday night: get waves of enemies working
by tuesday night: get helicopter and enemy with a spinning gun bullet patterns working

Also next week add new animations in and make enemies flash.  Possibly powerups also.

That plane is really lovely.

I have three criticisms:

a) Please make this.
b) This is awesome.
c) THERE'S ROOM FOR MORE GUNS.

The final boss needs to be a big mass of guns so thick that you can't tell what aircraft is inside.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. It's a great motivator.

The final boss needs to be a big mass of guns so thick that you can't tell what aircraft is inside.

This is shockingly close to what I had in mind.

Powerups!

1. Gives you 2 bullets instead of one. 2. Gives you 4 bullets and some spread instead of 2. 3. Makes bullets bigger.
4. Gives you a homing missile. 5. Gives you 2 homing missiles. 6. Makes missiles more accurate.



Granted, these are just some that I came up with just now. There'll be more in the finished game!

Off to bed now. Will post more stuff tomorrow or Tuesday.

Waves of enemies working so now enemies come in nice orderly patterns made by peter instead of just one by one.

Enemies collide with player now.

Copters shoot out in 4 directions now.

Players health goes down when hit by bullet/enemy.

Tonight
maybe cool spiral shooting
maybe some power ups

This game looks killlllllller :D

If you need any music or sound design I'd be massively up for that, I'd love to create something, aurally, aesthetically complimentary to those stunning visuals.

Down with the communist Nazis! haha

gogogo, less typing, more developing.

on the other hand, i want more screens, more text and more vids!

Holy shit, that would be awesome.

Anyway, just letting you know that this hasn't been abandoned. We're still working on getting all of the gameplay elements in, not making levels or anything like that, so nothing too fun to show. I've mostly been animating enemy patterns, but here's a preview of a boss I've been working on too:

[J. R. Hill]

In my head I will call him America McFreedom.

[Kuppo]

Is that an airplane that shoots airplanes.
Of course it is.

[dustin]

From a programming standpoint We've got done...

Jetpack enemy
Helicopter enemy
gunship enemy
minigun enemy

still to do is

hovercraft
blimp
bosses

scrolling bg

We've also got a wave generator done and collision detection and all that jazz.

Powerups are all impelemented
Player missles are implemented

Enemy missles are not yet implemented but just a slight mod of the players missles

[DangerMomentum]

This looks awesome and I can't wait to fight communist nazis

Vow! Kur tu dzīvo? Šito vienkārši nevar palaist garām! Skaisti!

*Speaking to a fellow latvian* ...

No, really, this game look awesome. Reminds me a lot about Adam Atomics "steam birds".
