]]> 05 Apr 2007 05:09:31 Spheres of Chaos is a space shooter created by Iain McLeod, the basic gameplay being similar to the game Asteroids. The game uses very bright, psychedelic colours and patterns, with many enemies on screen at once. The audio is similar to that of Robotron: 2084 and Defender. The game was originally written for RISC OS on the Acorn Archimedes. Ports exist for Linux, Windows and PS2 Linux.

The player controls a small grey spaceship and levels are completed by eradicating all enemies from the screen. The difficulty and amount of enemies increase along with the level number. Enemies will typically split up into smaller versions when hit. Black holes also appear during gameplay and either attract or repel the spaceship. Many black holes at once can mean that space becomes unnavigatable.

Some enemies will provide power-ups when defeated. The colour of the power-up when found will affect the ability of the power-up.

There are various options which can be modified to change features such as the amount of enemies and power-ups as well as in-game visuals. The game can be played in single player or in multi-player with up to 8 players.

]]> 07 Mar 2007 05:54:22 In Inago Rage, players battle hundreds of mechanized enemies at once, donning rocket boots to fight both on the ground and in the air. The game offers 50 frenetic levels, which take place on city rooftops, above gas giants, and in deep space. As players progress, a storyline illustrated in graphic novel format introduces them to elements used in the game's building stage.

Inago Rage allows all gamers to create their own levels, a process once reserved for professional developers and technically proficient mod creators. An integrated arena designer makes building easy with its simple drag-and-drop interface. Players construct levels by arranging architectural elements such as platforms, towers, and skyscapers. They then place markers where enemies and power-ups will appear. Special effects are created through a graphical interface, allowing players to simulate everything from a calm day on an alien world to a storm-charged nebula above a black hole.

Players build in real-time, allowing them to test their creations simply by switching from "build" to "play" mode. The game stores levels in individual files, which are compact enough to be traded in forums or via e-mail.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 03:43:49 Please try it and then let me know what you think :)

Toy Robo is an Action-Adventure Shooter that requires quick hands and engaging strategy. You play as Toy Robo, a robot action figure on the side of good. Your goal is to rid the world of evil toys which appear only at night. You will do this in Arena style combat using your Blaster and Energy sword. To help you along your way, you can equip several types of batteries, each with different combat effects and
bonuses.

This game was developed as an entry to the gamedev.net 4e4 contest which required that it encorporate at least 2 of the following four elements (elements of which ALL games are apparently made of): pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies.

I opted for robots and zombies because robots are easy to model and zombies are easy to animate ^_^

The contest had a 6 month time limit, so I wanted to make sure I didn't bite off more then I could chew. In the end I came in 2nd out of at least 20 - the 1st place finisher was developed by 5 people! so even though I didn't win I felt like the game did very well and the process was rewarding.

Belowe are a few screen shots and the game download.
