Fixed the issues and added hair to the Assassin (not definitive).

[Quarry]

I think the knight is still wrong...

I'm confused

[vittorioromeo]

Yep, seems it still had some problems with the armor shoulderpads. I moved the pixels to the correct location and added some extra details:

new video - fighting some enemy types





Current (temporary) enemy types:
1. small alien: just runs at you and deals damage on touch
2. charger: periodically charges against the player
3. juggernaut: fast, resistant to damage, constantly shoots bullets
4. giant: fast, heavy, very resistant to damage, constantly showers the player in bullets

The characters are hard to make out, strictly because of the COLOR OF THE FLOOR AND SURROUNDING OBJECTS, they clash a ton. If you'd fix those (maybe try some complimentary colors or use the same color and make the floor darker and the walls lighter) it'd be a lot easier to read. But totally awesome job on particles, I am dazzled sir.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I'm a terrible artist, especially when it comes to colors - I've tried multiple times to mess with the colors but I cannot find a way to prevent "clashing". I admit I could use an hand here...

[vittorioromeo]

I tried lowering brightness and contrast a bit, also messed with the hue - is it more readable now?

[Rat Casket]

I'm not seeing any glitches ..

Neither am I.

Yep, there are some .gif glitches. I recorded it as usual, but had to crop it with GIMP because it was too big. And it got glitched

I stand correct

[Rat Casket]

Nobody said you were wrong.

[Quarry]

Then why did you reinforce his statement

[Rat Casket]

Because neither of us saw the glitches you failed to describe. He and I both assumed the left over green bits were body parts rather than some glitch.

Also I didn't see the dudes post verifying that it was a glitch. Either way nobody said you were wrong. I simply said I didn't see them.

[Quarry]

k cool

new video - major progress (ai, gfx, etc...)




* Major AI improvements: pursuit/evade/seek behaviors
* New enemy type: spinning ball
* New enemy type: gunner small alien - shoots like the player (restricted to 8 directions), tries to line up his shoots
* GFX improvements: characters are easier to see, random tile variations

Neat I like the flocking behaviour look when they try to stay at a distance and avoid each other at the same time

keep it up!

[vittorioromeo]

Thanks for the feedback!

new video - all alien types can now have weapons

[vittorioromeo]

new video - turrets, bar hp counter, pits, new enemy variants

[Udderdude]

You might want to work on those turret graphics.  At first I thought they were indestructable, permanent parts of the level .. until you blew them up, of course. D:

Hmm, any idea on how I could make it clearer that they are destructible?
I kinda like the fact that they are "embedded" into level architecture.

Also, started to work on a smudgy font for the HUD:


And here's the update spritesheet in all it's horribleness:

[vittorioromeo]

Got auto-tiling walls implemented!


And the code is great:


...just kidding, but it's easy to refactor
