Subs 2 - Dive Dive Dive!

SteveZX81

Minor update. been spending a lot of time trying to tidy and sort out my horrible code, before I start adding new stuff.

removed the old animated torpedo display. I didn't feel it fit the game

added a new torpedo display panel and created a custom font (sadly my art style sucks so it's the best I could do)

Thanks to Pianofire for the custom font code!

SteveZX81

Another update. seems small but I quite like it. The torpedo display is now working when you fire.

also, if I'm spamming to much here, just give me the nod and I'll cut it down ;)

Update:

Some sound effects added
ships can now be hit and sunk
torpedo trails shorten and fade with distance

@SteveZX81 What are those cargo ships carrying?

SteveZX81

I've no idea. (actually they are supposed to be tankers but I can't draw. lol)

DomDom

Can they shoot back?

SteveZX81

Tankers cannot but other ships will be able to attack you and also aircraft will drop depthcharges etc.

DomDom

@SteveZX81 Sink one for me.

SteveZX81

Working on the ship sinking animations right now.

This is barely worth mentioning tbh but I'm using it as an excuse to post so I can give a huge "Thank You!" to Pianofire and Martin for helping me with a problem that drove me batty! (I still actually don't know what the problem was, but it's working now so all is well).

Thanks guys!

Small update:

all ships now sink when hit (including the hospital ship ..but there is a penalty)
score added
ships sunk added
torpedos left display added

Coming from a talent like yourself, that made my day. Thank you so much!

And that made mine, haha! Thank you :) Seriously well done though, this is incredible!

@SteveZX81 Looking good. The texture on the sea is a good idea. Is it cloud shadows? I think that reflections of some sort would be quite easy to implement here but the effect might not be compatible with the intended style.

SteveZX81

Thanks.
The sea texture is the same as the one used for the clouds but given a green/blue tint.

tbh I'm not 100% happy with it, I feel it doesn't really match up with the rest of my graphics (it's too good lol!) so I am considering replacing the clouds and sea with simple colour gradients instead. we'll see.

Martin

That's looking great @SteveZX81

I've also made a mental note to check the volume of my laptop before clicking links in future!! That beep almost hurt given the laptop was on full volume (blame video conferencing for that and people that don't know how to turn up their mic levels)

SteveZX81

oh heck, I'm sorry about that.

Why? Did you turn my volume up :D

SteveZX81

Thought I'd have a break from working on the actual game and started tinkering with a simple title screen for the game.

oh and in other news, I hit 1k hours on Fuze yesterday! ...but no fanfare and champagne? tsk.. disappointed ..maybe at 2k then.

Dave

Love it Steve. Simple, minimal but very cool and effective. Oh and it's 1337 hours exactly that you get the champagne.
