Blur - It's like fast tunnel, but with Nethams
« on: September 17, 2010, 05:24:03 pm »
Since the contest is over, I can post about Blur. ;D
Blur is basically like fast tunnel (but I think it's faster that fast tunnel on an SE), but it features four different ships, each with their own high-score. Also, there is a special difficulty mode: Lobster Mode.


I plan on improving Blur now and I recently finished a cool effect for a new titlescreen. The example screenie uses my current avatar. What do you guys think of the effect?


I'd appreciate any feedback you guys might have on Blur.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Wow I love that title screen thing. Nice job. Also interesting tunnel game, although incredibly hard XD. When using Lobster Mode you should change the ship sprite in the menu to a lobster.

Displaying the lobster sprite sounds good. I'll probably also add a high-score for lobster mode.
Btw, my best score in lobster mode is 1264. Anyone beat that yet?

I'm reworking the GUI right now, as well as considering adding another ship or two.

What do you mean by that? The contest release of Blur already had four different ships.

Huh? Oh, I thought you'd meant playing multiple ships simultaneously, like Dual Falldown.

That's an idea...
I was considering adding multiple modes of play besides fast tunnel style.
