maelstrom half done shooter
-
Spent some of today making an effect so when you start it pushes everything out of the way so you don't start on an asteroid.looking for a sound effect and came across David silvera's gothic theme reminded me of gradius so just had to try it out and i land on an asteroid and bingo all the other stuff id been working on came into effect.
So I'll explain
Hit an asteroid it releases fuel sometimes
Also powers up your shield
To get ammo take out an alien
Modified the propulsive rockets so you can manoeuvre eight ways
Still haven't found the sound effect I was looking for
And still haven't implemented the arrival scene but serendipity gave me the answer I think -
Woah that is awesome! well done!!
-
-
This is looking amazing. Are you going to share it at some point?
-
-
Of course.
I've shared the lead up to this but it ain't half finished yet but at this stage of it could spin it into- I was thinking of making a 'sinistar' like game . Would love to to know if there are any voice assets like that.
Ie "beware I live" "run weakling"
Cos that would be cool
As for sharing
Nothing pretty to look at as i didnt use sprites
And I've spent countless hours chasing down bugs
Cos I used global variables
Naughty Naughty boy
But have a play
Control scheme at top of program
Shared it on my I'd
Have to look up how to do it the other way and don't know seeing its not finished if it would be passed but pirate away -
Well that was a slow process I might have submitted twice
But have a go any feedback would be nice
And by pirate I meant share freely
Probably should have used sprites as there is some slow down occasionally and I think it might be more so on the big screen. This is because you should see more real estate on the telly .At least I programmed it that way don't really know as misses watches too much tv ;) -
Looks and sounds great! I have no idea what I am doing. We won't publish the download code but you can if you want to.
-
Ok ill just look that up
On a side note if I share to many programmes does that make it slow to enter the friends section cos mine seems slow -
There ya go status live

Happy shooting -
Control scheme is at beginning of code
So
Left joystick controls
Left rotate left
Right rotate right
Also
Hold button b and left joystick controls thrusters
A fire's ammo
X almost does something
Thrusters will lock on when you let go of the b button
Press b again without using joystick to disable thrusters
There are some other control schemes in the code but I settled on that because it was the easiest
(Serendipity when I was mucking with different schemes accidentally got the lock effect and run with it) not to sure if the other schemes still work though -
I've just played this - oh my god it's awesome.
I need to get the hang of the controls, it's satisfyingly difficult! Awesome use of the Gothic track by the way - really ramps up the chaos!!
Superb work.
-
Yes it does as soon as I heard it it took me way back the thing was I was looking for those funny mouth noises again for my entrance effect and stummbled upon it then well i had to go back and immediately play it in the game and thankyou
Awesome soundtrack
So any chance of what I said earlier -
@xevdev I'd love to expand the voices in Fuze and will certainly do so at some point :)
