Edge's Entry

I think I am in as well.

I started a little prototype yesterday, but I am not too confident if my end result will be a game that is fun to play. Still I think I am going to give it a try anyway.

Re: Edge's Entry

Core gameplay mechanics are almost done.

The game is horizontal scrolling and the player can't shoot himself.
He has to graze enemy bullets with his aura, so that those bullets get converted and attacks the enemy. Unlike Giga Wing, these bullets shoot straight forward instead of aiming direct at the enemies. Converting bullets gives the player points, if he is able to convert many bullets in a chain the score multiplyer increases.

I hope in the end it won't turn out as a horizontal nomltest clone with a bit of Giga Wing in it...

I like the sound of this. Still have to see how it works when fighting bosses though but it's interesting indeed Smiley

Re: Edge's Entry

Sorry for the late reply.
I have been on a vacation from the 22nd December. I somehow didn't find the time to post here before I went on that vacation. But anyway I guess it was obvious that I didn't make it in time.  Embarrassed

Well, I actually had the core gameplay with 3 enemy types ready. But I was still missing a routine for loading the enemy waves.

Anyway it was still a great experience, as this time I noticed that i have made some progress with solving logical problems in smoother way.

By the way, I am still trying to get the Prototype running and upload it here, despite the Prototype Session. I am trying to finish it in my free time next week.

Sounds good, I'd still like to see your game.  Save what you've got as well, call it an "engine" like I do, and join us for Session 8 in a few days Smiley
