Hi,

Well, here it is, unfinished but just about playable, and a bit weird...

http://games.lamptonworm.com/DBP/Projects/OWTF/downloads.html

Crank your volume up before playing.

This was very rushed and is half baked, as you'll see.. (towards the end I was fuelled by white lighting just to get something together). Anyway, in the archive you'll find all the source etc. needed to compile for yourself if you want to. The game isn't overly serious, but the idea might have potential

Probably more 'valuable' than the playing experience is the source, timer based animation, levels defined in side files (bit messy) and some use of types etc. for the enemy objects, timer based movement, speaking of which...

I *must* apologize to Andy Igoe for not listing him in the credits, that is an error - so I'd like to publically thank Andy for his timer based movement tutorial, code from which is used in this game. Andy, when I next get a change I'll update my site and the source.



Cheers.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to unzip and 'play' this? Just wondered because Rich isn't getting any movement from the mouse.. I got it ok on x2 machines here?

Cheers!

The mouse worked for me on both my machines although the game crashed my desktop after about 10-15 seconds of play.

You’re not wrong when you say it’s a bit weird, but it’s also a bit good, especially when you consider the development time. I think the sounds and visuals work well to give the game a hellish atmosphere, and I particularly liked the fire effect as your character burns. Nice work

Specs if needed

Desktop: 650 duron – 64meg radeon 7200 – 386meg 133ram – win 98 – dx 9.0c

Laptop: P4 1.8 – 32meg radeon 7500 – 256ddr ram – xp pro – dx 9.0c

Currently re-writing the game and re-doing sprites for 800x600 (was 640x480). This game will get a release soon.

Hi,

Thanks for trying It uses timer based movement/animation, but yeah its too bleeedin' quick, but thats the hardcore 80's style playability. Honest. Glad it worked though.

Seems funny looking back at this, sober(ish), lol.

Cheers,
