Hello,
I would like to show you guys the screenshots and teaser from our Current project 'TrashMan'





The original TrashMan was our debut project that we sent for the compatition here in Bangkok.

I've post the original version's detail somewhere in GA, here

The screenshots here are from the new version of Trashman. We've done all new artworks and a lot improvement in game system and code.


This is the title menu screen.


And this is Our main character 'ARES' with his partner 'Valkyl'.


Some part of the level is 3d model. This controll room for example.


This is the recycle screen where you can use material collected from enemy recycly into the new items.



Valkyl cannon attack.






Massive Boss Fighting!!!


Also, in this version of 'Trashman' we use much more models in the game's level.
Here's some props and object from the game.

Looking very nice! I was hoping to see a bit more actual gameplay in the video though.

[gumustdo]

Thanks,  . It's kinda 'sneak peek' style teaser we've made. We're doing other levels, enemies and Bosses in the game as I'm typing. We might shot another gameplay's vid too, when more assets are ready. Hehe, For now you could see more gameplay via download and play our demo game

[ionside]

I've got the demo downloaded, just waiting for a spare moment to giver it a play 

[KennEH!]

This is looking great. I hope that music isn't just for the teaser either.

[gumustdo]

Thanks for downloading our demo, Ionside . Hehe, yes, KennEH. We're also use heavy-metal tracks in the demo too. Thanks to 'XenoGenocide' from Newgrounds for his contribution.

the graphics are pretty good.
i think this game has potential

BUT:
when the game starts the camera zooms out so much that you cant see any details.
all is so extremely tiny.
then after entering the first room i thought wtf?
there comes a little enemy from the left and then you get destroyed with one hit. bam. game over. and its barely visible what is happening or what to do.
continue...have to watch the intro again (would be user friendly to make it skippable)

anyways...next try...same: entering room, enemy comes, dead...game over.
continue...next try. again, the same as above.
after 6 tries i pressed ESC and left the game...

edit:
a camera bug caused this problem.
how to solve this problem is written down here

Oh, my...!
I'm really sorry for the bugs problem you've found. We've not found something like that before the release of demo.

Could you send me a screenshot of where and exactly when this bug has occur?
And also the Specification of your PC/laptop you've play it on too.

That would be a big help to us to find and stomp this bug.

Thank you very much for your comment, suggestion and let us know about the problem in our game.

We will try our best to fix the problem you've found and put the new version on the web immediately.

I beleive that not everyone will found this bug occurred during the gameplay of our demo. Because, We've publish this demo locally in Thailand for a several weeks ago. After recieving a numbers of bugs report and got them all fixed. Than about yesterday, we've decided that the game is now quite bug free/ no serious bug found and ready to release to the others foriegn's forums and communities.

Anyway, for those who has found this bug/problem, please accept our apology.
We'll try our best to pinpoint this bug and fix it and bring up the new version immediately.

Thank you very much ,
Your video has explain every thing to us!!

It's a bug of game's camera. Normally, it shouldn't be that faraway from the character. It should be like what you see in the

.

When the camera's out this far and you keep walking forward, you'll be hit by invisible camera's border that kill you instancely. That's why it's happen that you've died so many time when step into that area.

We'll try to fix this bug as soon as possible.
Please, stay tune for our next update.
Thank you.

Has controller support been enabled yet? I can't use mine. Also, I think control mapping should be available too, as I've seen button [1] and [2] being triggers.

[ionside]

I didn't come across any bugs.
The game is quite good, but it's not too friendly on the keyboard, I found it tricky firing diagonally. Many times I just wanted to stand still to fire up left for example, but had to create a little routine of running forward and back often to fire at turrets and flying insect droids.
The boss battle was a lot of fun.

The game was only support keyboard and Xbox360 controller.
If you want to try out with generic usb controller. I'm suggest you using keyboard emulator like 'joytokey'

We've enable both generic and xbox360 controller in the older version. But, since it cause the game crashed from the start for some user. We've decide to take the generic controller out.

Rightnow JoyToKey would be the only remedy for generic controller.
We're sorry for your inconvenient.

You can download JoyToKey here.

And Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hehe, I'm glad that you enjoy beating him  :D With out any bug occurred.
Thank you for your feedback about the controll's issue.

[gumustdo]

If you're encountered with Super-far camera zoom-out, Died instantly in the 20 seconds.
Please don't uninstall the game yet . We have a quick fix for you here.

I've presumed that you're currently use German or other none-English Language as the default format.
In that case you have to change the Regional and Language Options of your Windows to 'English(United State)'.

To do so, please follow the direction below.
1. Go to Control panal --> Regional and Language Options.
2. In Formats' tab. Please change your 'Current format' to 'English(United State)'.
3. Click Ok.

And then please try running the game again. It should work correctly.

We know that it's kinda inconvenient to have to change your computer's setting to play the game. It's a problem between XML code passing stuff and it's turnout that all (.) in the code will be passed as (,) in German Format setting and was not working properly in non-English Windows's setting.

We will continue fixing the game as well so, everyone around the world can play it without having to change their setting.

Thank you very much for all feedback.

[AuthenticKaizen]

thanks for that tip, i changed the language and now it works flawlessly.
it was a lot of fun: nice controls, double jumps, level up options, fine graphics and old school 2d gameplay.
i hope there will be an option to charge your weapon in the full version...

minor things that i noticed:
-when i destroyed the enemies and was rewarded with trash and tried to collect it i was interupted from the female speaker and couldnt collect all the trash. (it disappears after a period of time, right?)
-the transisition between the melody of the valkyl attack (pretty good melody) and the standard background music doesnt fit properly.



played through the whole demo and made a video of it. feel free to add it to your youtube channel if you want. but well its not a perfect walkthrough (i got hit pretty often especially by the first little boss...)

definetely looking forward for further releases.

Hehe, glad to hear that you enjoyed the game. 

About being interupted with cinematics/dialogue, don't worried all stuff will pile up on the floor long enough for that dialogue end and you can collect them all. (In the first room It's may looks like all stuffs are gone. But, it was on the floor behind the foreground console!!  )

Yeah, about the transitions we're working on it. Actually the track was kinda place-holder. XenoGenocide just give a permission to us to use any track from his collection. So, we might had to have him re arrange it for this event.

Man!!, Thanks a tons for your Video!! I'll have it on the channel for sure.

Hi there.

Please check your hotmail mate! I sent you a wee message.


Great looking game. Hope to hear from you soon.

[Gainsworthy]

Holy crap, this looks awesome. I'm downloading now, will give impressions soon! At the very least, the art is killer.

 

[Solved]

Is pretty awesome, unfortunately I kept encountering a bug where the boxes in the levels wiuld become invisible. Also I feel that the mouse control scheme is a bit awkward, other than that awesome game.
