04 march update:
- health bar appear when hit... it recoil until completely "repaired"; then vanish again.
- ships is pushed back when get damages from mines

missing mine explosion and various smoke animation (I had to reuse somestuff already done): this is because I've broken my pen tablet and can't add more arts until don't get the thing fixed. :cry:
Anyway, special addition: now with Android binaries!

mirror: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

sources (now with arts included)

Notes for Android: currently the resolution is fixed to 800x600 (so I guess you're mostly like to run it though tablet rather smartphone) and there's not (yet) touch control... so either you got a usb keyboard or just watch the intro (you need a physical key, at least, in order to skip though the intro anyway).



Hello everyone! first post here after some productive lurking around 8)
this is what I am currently working onto:
Image

The main focus for this side scrolling shooter is about the story, so don't expect anything astonishing from the gameplay side (well, I had some cool ideas... but not the programming skill needed... sooooo... ); anyway, here's the binari download:

WelkinJaunt-LinuxMacWin.tar.gz Linux, Mac and Windows (4,9 MiB)

Mirror: 1, 2, 3, 4

Currently there's no much to do, just enjoy a brief intro and testing some control


--license and source:
Font AudioWide license and stuff can be found here
Typewrite effect is a modified script taken from a Bee-Ant's post I wasn't able to re-find again.
Attached to this post: the current release source. Feel free to take whatever you like/need but be warned I am not a programmer... soooo, my code is not to consider... optimal for most stuff :? dare to use at your own risk :roll:

NIce! Game is nice, graphics are good but it lags sometimes.

I think you shall add-
A menu
Jet should fire bullets/bombs
Health Bar
Add armours
Special weapons
AI jet
Maybe a radar


And there are no images and sprites in the source. Don't worry no one will use them without your permission.

ooh cool, since you are working on a story for it, if you can get a good sized demo completed before April 21st, then you should enter an exe. of this game into my 2-month long tourney. :)

Ehy, thanks for all the advices. Yes, it will be mostly about the story, so don't expect many GUI/Hud element (except for the main screen title, of course): I want to keep the view as much "clean" form any informative graphic elements (time, number of lives, armor/weapon currently in use...) and placing everything player need directly in the animations sprites (ie: you can see how much charge the electric shield had with it's transparency /or/ current animation directly overly on the ship).
except whenever the player does absolutely need a very precise information like it's health status I've opted for something that appear when needed (ie: ship is damaged) and automatically disappear when everything it's all fine.

As for the gameplay the factor... it all depends on my programming skills: currently nothing exceptional (as you can see from the sources); but I got few cool ideas I hope I'll be able to include.

I wish, and I'll try to... but I don't know if I will be able to complete it in 21st April: so far now I've begun many project but nothing yet finished.


Anyone curious about; you can see some of the stuff I am/was/will into here on twitter :oops:

It doesn't have to be completed, there just needs to be something for us to play such as a demo. If you look at past tourneys, you will see that none of the games are truly full games.

Ahh no, controls are nice if thats what you mean :3
I just don't find the point. Will you make a point? A goal?
Making the game more advanced will make people to feel more then only controls ^^

The first level it's just a brief introduction to the the setting, the main focus I am giving to this game is about the story; but I do hope I'll be able to include more "gaming" as my programming skills, and game editor learning, increase.

Anyway, I've added a bit of challenge; there's no goal to this level and the "mine field" is randomly generated... consider it sort of "flappy birds" gameplay.

Have fun :P

Well, I have tested some other game editors like Adventure Game Studio (here what I did); so I am not totally newbie with "unskilled programmer friendly" Game Engine editor :)

11 years, yes.. that's lot of time, but consider there are other project around like Adventure Game Studio as well which begun even 10 years before gE :P
