[Axe Parser Shoot'em up] Devrays
« on: May 19, 2011, 05:12:12 pm »
I wanted to create a remake of my Shoot'em up Pugluna since a long time, and here it is. :)
It has originally been started for the Axe Parser contest this year, but it wasn't suitable with the rules and the category.
You'll be able to shoot with these infinite standart bullets, power blasts and three Power Ups that you get by killing enemies.
Furthermore, The Game will contain 8 different levels, lots of achievements and a highscore list.
I probably add bosses, but my code is actually about 7900 Bytes. <.<
No demo version yet, but here's a screenshot. ^^

EDIT:
Latest Version: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=679

That looks amazing! I love how it looks like an old-school arcade game.

This looks really good! I like how you have the different types of bullets and the R-Type feel (I am refering to the original arcade and gameboy game, NOT the dodge-asteroids game).

If I could improve the game at all, I would make the game scroll slightly faster than it does right now. At this point, it seems to lumber along, too slow to have meaningful progress in an acceptable amount of time.

Also, have you tried Crabcake? It's an ASM utility/axiom that is designed to overcome the 8811 byte limit, allowing you to create Axe games as large as RAM will allow. I'm looking into it myself.

oh wait, I can see it now, I'm assuming you used calc capture?  Nevertheless, that looks amazing!

Yeah, the idea to combine a shoot'em up with tilemaps comes from Rtype, I love this series.
I let scroll the tilemap only every fourth frame to get more playing time in smaller tilemaps. The scrolling animations looks
smoother on TI, but I'll think about changing the speed.
Does Crabcake slow down The Game?

Camtasia rendered an additional sound layer as black area, the screenshot has been fixed. :P

There's at least no reason to cancel the project, except unexpectedly losing the source files again.  And thanks. :)

Nope. :)
..Time to create an epic bossfight.  ;D

Can crabcake be used in Axe programs yet?

Aichi, that's looking great, and what emulator is that?

Nice job!

I believe it's Wabbitemu, but recorded with Camtasia instead of Wabbit's normal gif recording software.
