Lots of enemies.
Lots of allies
Lots of weapons
Lots and lots of bullets!

And my own music too!

Wow, that looks completely and utterly awesome.
is the ship movement 3d or 2d? It was hard to tell... Seems like it would be a b*tch to control in 3d.

Awesome though, I love the camera and the way the ships move.

Gameplay is 2d in a 3d universe so the camera can sort of "follow" above the ship. It zooms in and out relative to the action, but you can zoom in and out manually with asdw keys.Control really intuitive with the mouse.

If you watch the first part there's an enemy fighter dogfighting with your wingman. eventually the enemy loses and your wingman forms on your wing.

The second part is a big battle with you and 2 allied cruisers (the big light colored ships) vs a buttload of enemy fighters and drones. They win after that it's just some flying around with you and a wingman.

How did you do that much alphablending and not get errors!?


At least farting ferrets are better than stinky stoats.

I'm using an older version of DB Pro. When I upgrade Czero doesn't work.

Very cool stuff. I was working on something like this a while back, but I'll probably have to go back to the drawing board cos yours looks graphically so much better.

Overall a really nice feel to the graphics and I like the layers of what look like space fog etc. to make everything seem fluid and have motion. Really good stuff. The only thing that stands out as weird is the 3D camera swinging about, but I'll take your word for it that it doesnt affect gameplay. Nice one.

In those shots, I'm manually rotating the camera around for effect. During gameplay you probably won't be doing this.
