]]> 26 Jun 2007 06:12:55 Zombie Town A project I'm doing for one of my classes. Right now all I have done is the physical assets done. This includes all the meshes, textures, emitters, animations, etc. I still have coding to do like the AI, user interface, and things like damage. It's a class assignment so it's never going to be released to the public so sorry if you actually looking forward to this being completed.

Special thanks to Redheadstock and Metal-CX from DeviantArt.com for their custom Photoshop brushes (Flames Fire Photoshop Brushes and Grunge 'n Rust 2nd Edition respectively). I used them to create some of the textures in my level.
]]> 24 Jun 2007 11:17:09 Fringespace This project is designed to duplicate, as closely as possible, the "feel" of Tachyon: The Fringe, to the Freespace 2 game engine.

Tachyon was always plagued by bugs, hacking, and a lack of updates. This mod is an attempt to rectify most of the egregious problems, and to update the playing experience for Tachyon fans.

As the project gains momentum, we'll be putting more information up, and sharing our progress with you.

Each flying monster, called Hydra, is a series of nodes connected together. You must defeat each weak point node to destroy the entire monster.

The design of the game is influenced by "Shadow of the Colossus". You battle enormous creatures that initially appear to be insurmountable. It is also partially inspired by "Rez" in the sense that they are both non-traditional, abstract shooter games.

An enemies armada is just ahead. Sneak up behind them, fly through and take down as many ships as possible.
After your mission has been completed we'll finish them. Good Luck!

This is my first XNA game. Very simple, very easy. This was just to sink my teeth into XNA and hopefully, if a find a host, I can put it up for download. One interface bug, but minor and doesn't effect gameplay.
]]> 13 Mar 2007 02:50:28 Gradipus (working title) This is one of the games I am working on with Chaosepoch (Whose Profile can be found here: http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/user/snowfox), this one being a less serious one that we probably won't put into commercial use.

I am always brimming with ideas for games, but lack the ability to programme them, so on one of my many brain farts I created some levels, a scenario and characters, all for this side scrolling shooter game.
Chaosepoch actually took a liking to the idea (he likes coding games) and agreed to code the game for me.

So far all we have is one example level (i.e. a level that won't be used in the game once it's coded properly) and the basic game play structure (i.e. side scrolling, and shooting).

There are only two of the 29 enemies present in this demo clip and none of the power-ups, special moves, or anything like that.
This is merely just a little taster of what I am working on, and nothing here is set in stone.
The only thing that is definite is that the main character is a flying platypus that shoots eggs from it's bill.
Yep.

You play as a Platypus who has been sucked into a bizarre under water world of monsters, clowns and toilets who all want to kill you.
There are plenty of weird bosses too, such classics as one boss being a giant robot giraffe who hurls newts at you, and another being a giant floating mans head which resembles a tea pot his skull opens up to reveal a soggy tea bag which you have to hit to do him damage.

A lot of work needs to be done, this is FAR from finished...

]]> 15 Feb 2007 11:44:41 Axion This is a DEMO/Prototype!
It is very much unfinished. There is only one level and after you beat the boss it will go back to the title screen.

Axion is a 4 colour (greyscale) shoot'em up made for the Retro Remakes 4-colour TI calculator style competition.

Story

Thousands of years ago the Atlantians built a huge inter-dimensional portal with the intent of trapping a huge foe inside. The portal worked perfectly, but at the last minute the huge beast was able to pull their entire city in with it. Knowing the they were unable to save the city and that the beast would eventually be able to break free without anyone able to watch over it, they sent out their last hope, Axion.

Axion was a specially designed craft known as a "Dimension diver" which made it the only man-made creation that was able to seemlesly escape the pull of the triangular portal.

Thousands of years later after absorbing much of its surroundings including people, ships and planes, the beast was able to take control of its own prision, although it was still not quite powerful enough to escape entirely. Using all the energy it had absorbed over the many years, the beast took control of the portal and projected it into outer space using mankind's own orbiting satillites. The portal was now 50 times its original size, big enough to engulf the entire planet...and this was the plan. If the beast could absorb the entire planet, then it would have enough energy to break free from its Atlantian prision.

After detecting the huge power surge, Axion emerged out of the ocean and blasted off into outer space to stop the beast before it was too late.

]]> 09 Feb 2007 10:54:31 Ruff 'n' Tumble Remake A young Ruff Rogers was happily playing with his marbles (ooohey!) in his local park. When suddenly one happened to go a stray and fall down a nearby rabbit hole. Not knowing this hole was a teleport to another dimension, he reaches down to see if he can retrieve it. To his suprise, he suddenly gets sucked into the darkness.

Ruff now dazed and confused, finds himself on an alien planet which is run by Mr evil himself, Dr Destiny. He also discovers that this mad doctor controls a fearsome army of robots called the tinheads. Furthermore, he spots his marble collection is now lying scattered throughout the planet. As you can imagine, Ruff is a little displeased with his current predicament. So with this, he makes the decision to accumulate his marble collection once more and save the planet from the evil clutches of Dr Destiny and his Tinhead Army.

Introduction

Blastforce is a freeware top-down shooter set in the year 2917. It is being developed with the Gamemaker 6.1 (but may be changed to GM 7.0 in the future). I have been working on the idea behind it for about 10 years (the story behind it was originally written by me as a hobby). Currently, the game is being developed by myself and a friend (with another helping me with my concept artwork). We still have quite a lot to do still!

Features

In the game you will be able to fly a wide variety of aircraft- interceptors, bombers, space-helicopters, and even the odd go on the gun turret. There will also be a number of ground-based missions in the game. The game's graphics are (or will be) in a anime-ish, super nintendo kind of style.

Situation

The game is still in early stages, and newcomers are welcome. At the moment we need:
-Coders
-Pixel artists
-Manga artists

There are also other jobs available. Please leave me a message if you are interested.

]]> 27 Dec 2006 09:11:31 BioShock
The idealistic surroundings and grim reality are constantly at odds.

Often touted as the "Spiritual successor to System Shock 2", BioShock is a long awaited fps in development by Irrational Games, with lead designer Ken Levine promising to advance the definition of first person shooters.

As a likely 2007 release grows closer more screenshots and trailers are being released, and one thing that's apparent is a gorgeous environment, seemingly inspired in great part by the art deco period of the last century.

Game overview and features as reported at the official site
BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.


Features:

  • Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
  • Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.
  • Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.
  • Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.
  • Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.
  • Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

Developer: Irrational Games
Publisher: 2K Games
Released: currently targeted for August 2007 release!

System Requirements
To be announced.

In motion, the water effects are truly amazing. In fact, Irrational has someone on staff whose sole job is to handle water effects - everything from the fountains and ripples to the distortion of the fish beneath the surface.
