really nice gamexD,+rep edit;rep button down again?
and dont hold back if you need any sounds, itДll be a fun to do it;)
(did i mention, that i do 3d animations and convert them to sprites to gm?
if you need an 3d object tell me too)

I am, it's just that the forum rollback got rid of 8 pages of posts, along with several links to the newest version. I'll remake the OP soon, so you'll have less to read as well.

@Pwnage102: Different parts is PROBABLY not going to happen in the near future, though it's not entirely impossible. Color schemes might be easier to do, and would also take less time.

I only understood the part about ship presets. :U
But yeah, that could be a possibility. First things first though, get the game up and running. And speaking of which...



Super shots are a reality. Kind of. It flies very fast and blasts through just about anything (a boss would obviously survive), though it isn't an extremely wide shot. Under the right circumstances though, it could wreck 10 wedges (and the corresponding amount of hitpoints) in a row. Pretty straightforward, really. All the other super shots will mostly act like severely souped up versions of their normal cousins. For example, super splinter explodes into a massive blast of powerful fragments, each causing the struck enemy to explode into smaller fragments if it dies. Going further into the future, the TMER supers would basically be huge shoopwoop's of destruction, killing/seriously damaging anything in a very wide line, maybe even causing them to explode into small fragments for extra evil. Spread shot? You guessed it. A SPREAD of those kinds of shots. Extremely deadly, but hey, you'll need it. The aliens aren't going to ease up in the later levels, y'know. :U

Also, i JUST had an idea on how the usage of super shots could be limited/handled. The player has a charging bar in their GUI which, when fully charged, allows the player to fire a super shot. How that'll go down i haven't quite pegged down yet, though it could be either something you start with, something you buy, or maybe a gift from Lord Smebіgsnejebedu the fabulously eccentric. Ehh. I'll figure it out.

Oh yeah, new OP.

Aha! I get you now. That's actually a pretty cool idea. However, it is but a superficial one, and thus will not have insanely high priority. Functionality first, THEN make shit look real good. Not to mention the fact that the player ship could use a less angular design. We, as humans, tend to like our spaceships sleek. The aliens? Not so much. But hey, they're aliens.

However, a level editor may be a bit far out. While possible, it would require quite a bit of work, and i'm FAR from done with the main game. I won't rule it out entirely, though!

@Zayex: Thanks! And yeah, i most certainly am an amateur. Charging money for this game would be a crime against humanity. :U
As for the YoYo games account, it is being considered.

@Cavoe: No really, you don't have to be a game developer to criticise games. Just like you don't have to be a chef to criticise food, either. =P
But yeah, the current iteration is indeed very simple (dodge shoot repeat), though the next version will feature super shots, which may require a tiny bit of thought. Using one depletes your super bar, so you won't be able to fire one more for some time.

Also, fiddling with the GUI.

Well yeah, that could be a possibility. Two THREE heads are better than one, even though i can be a bit difficult to contact at times. :U
However, i see just one problem. If Gamemaker doesn't allow you to merge two files, then me and Chartle wouldn't be able to work on it at the same time. Granted, i do work very on and off, but as long as one is working, the other would have to do nothing, else any changes will have to be either re-done or forfeited.

@Kryo: look closer

near the bottom of the post

see those large "DOWNLOAD HERE" words?

yeah

@Chartle: Would you now? That sounds like a mighty fine deal. That is, if Gamemaker doesn't provide the problems above. :U
If it does, it might require some coordination and liberal application of Dropbox.

Also, since i'm too busy nowadays to do developing (huge school project go), i'm probably going to post even less news than normal. That was extremely obvious, but hey, i should be sleeping now, and i've got many many thoughts wandering around in my noggin. Both relevant and highly irrelevant. For example, how will our pilotguy look? Is his co-pilot a bear? How do the aliens look? Have they ever tasted beer? How far along the sliding scale of dementia should Nightmare be placed? How many times will the fourth wall be broken? How the hell am i supposed to make intermission comics? What name should be given to the first boss? Is this game srs bsnss or lighthearted action? Will i ever get over my silly artsy nervousity and make design sketches? I can assure you, i've put MUCH more thought into this game than it would appear. That's me in a nutshell, really. I think and fantasize A LOT. Suffice to say, i have more than this game floating around in that huge lump of neurons. Also, pilotbear.



PILOT. BEAR. That concept is so awesome that it hereby has been decided that our pilotguy has a bear for a co-pilot. They're good friends (because pilotguy WRESTLED PILOTBEAR AND WON), so you need not fear a surprise maul from behind. That's how manly our pilotguy is.

... That, my good sir, is hellaciously useful. Thanks a ton for mentioning it.

Also, i believe Chartle has been working on something many of you want to see. This is a not-so-subtle clue that he has the green light to tease the fuck out of you fine folks with it. That's what i'd do, anyways.

>_>

<_<

>_>

If only i had the time to do that. In Denmark, we open presents at christmas eve, not on boxing day. :U
Tomorrow, perhaps, but very unlikely today.

Good to hear. I also have it running around in the back of my head, though i'm currently busy with other things (read: gaming) that require my attention. However, that isn't to say i've done absolutely nothing.



This may/may not be the new Wedge. I've been thinking about redoing the ships, since their apparent lack of aerodynamics started to irk me.

65/100 for an unfinished game? I call success. Thank you. :U
Also, don't rush yourself Chartle, it's pretty much on hold for me as well. So many delicious games released recently! That isn't to say its abandoned, though. I'd still like to finish it at some point, and i even have several intermission comics and characters waiting around in my head. Too bad i suck at drawing non-pixel stuff. =P

Depends on what you can offer. I've already got spriting and programming down, though i might need more music in the future. Also, comic art is not something i do well, so any competent artist who doesn't mind working for free (might as well be open about this; it's VERY unlikely that anyone will get paid) is most welcome.

MEANWHILE!



I quite like how these guys look. They look even better in motion, where you can't see all the little flaws. :U
