You can collect pods and they will shoot with you. There is a maximum of 4 pods at a time. If you get hit with the sheild very low, you will lose a pod. The graphics are temporary, and I am still programming the collection of the pods. 2/19/06

Doesn't a link to the information count?

Whatever, I just copied everything into the first post.

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Are you saying that I am starting to create nice games and that they are all low quality, so I should make it higher.

Sorry for not understanding

Um...here are the games I have finished:
Laser Assault - Crappy, dodge the laser type game.
Laser Assault 2 - Better, (huge for that time) game where you shoot aliens in space(check PA boards. Somewhere on 3rd or 2nd page)
Bomb Roller - Good ball rolling tiled 3D game
Solar System simulation - Only took an afternoon, and no comments on it

Thats 4. Isn't that good enough progress. I think I have been progressing very quickly SINCE I STARTED DB PROGRAMMING DURING THE FALL LAST YEAR!!! AND STARTED PROGRAMMING AROUND THE BEGINING OF 2005!! Just because I actually finish most of my projects doesn't mean I progress slowly

Quote: "and all of them are low quality. i suggest you to improve the quality (somehow)"


The reason that they were low quality is because they are 640*480. The screenshots look a little pixalated, especially the blade enemies at the edges, but you don't notice that when playing since the fps is around 58. [EDIT] AND, they're JPGs.

Nope, around August 2005 (Sometime a little after school started) Actually, I just looked at the date I finished Laser Assault, and its November 2005. Laser Assault 2 is December 2005.

I'm not trying to brag, but I find it a little insulting (and inaccurate ) when I am told I learn slowly.

Quote: "Good screenies though..."


Thanks. I will post a demo when I finish the HUD and another alien and after I finish level 1.

I have DBC, and I think the biggest resolution I will use is 800*600. I will if I have fps to spare.

Um...I don't know. I already asked someone else, but I don't think he will do it, and I'm not sure you will want to help someone going against you in the shmup compo

Ok, I will need 5 tracks eventually for my game(not necessaraly by you) so if you make me some, I will put you in the credits.
(Me, David, and you will be at the very begining of the program)
I only need one now. When you are done, either post it here, or I will send you an e-mail and you can reply with it.

The aliens and the player were by him. He is a very good artist, yes.

I got the background from a skybox texture website. The sides of skybox textures are very good for scrolling backgrounds, but I needed to cut off the sun

UFO , i have an idea.

What about if i make you a launcher (sort of like g-launcher) but only customized BY EVERY EACH DETAIL you want , and i can also add "theme" so that it looks very nice , i can add whatever options you like (resoulution , texture quality , model quality ) ANYTHING you need.


If you would like it , please leave the details for options and other things you would like included. you can anyways leave me the details for what you need , it doesnt harm if i try , you dont have to use it !

Added new screenshot with missles!
It took me forever to get them right.
They are kind of hard to dodge, but not too hard.

BTW, The red ovals are temporary...

oh, also, the powerup engine is done. I have 3 powerups now:
*Adds health
*Adds pod
*Brings up shooting level
