]]> 03 Jan 2007 02:46:07 Toy Robo 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.
]]> 23 Jan 2007 10:40:46 Wing Commander III Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger is the second sequel in the Sci-Fi Space Simulation series created by Chris Roberts.







"Professionally scripted and filmed in Hollywood, ORIGIN's multi-million dollar production combines the entertainment of film-making with the interactivity of computer gaming. The result is a spectacular spaceflight adventure.


Adrenaline, romance, danger -- Wing Commander III has all this and more. This sequel completes the turbulent chronicles of the Terran-Kilrathi war. The final showdown takes place on one of the homeworlds -- Earth or Kilrah. But only you can write the ending..."









Released in 1994, Wing Commander III was the first game to be marketed as a true "Interactive Movie". It was received with much critical-acclaim due to its high playability, state-of-the-art in-game graphics engine plus well scripted, produced and acted FMV sequences, all of which contributed to the games deep and absorbing atmosphere.


Wing Commander III was the first game in the series to use Full Motion Video as the primary story-telling device and is considered to be one of the best and successful examples of FMV use in a video game. The interactive element takes form during conversation cut-scenes where the player is asked to make a choice on how to proceed. This is done by either by giving a positive or negative response when prompted and this in turn affects the mood of the characters involved, altering theyre behaviour during missions and future conversations.


This was the final game in the Wing Commander series to deal with the Terran-Kilrathi conflict. As with the previous games, it is possible to play a winning or losing path, depending on the players performance during space-combat. The destruction of Earth or the Kilrathi's home planet of "Kilrah" is at the end of one of these two paths. However the series does continue with Wing Commander IV and Wing Commander: Prophecy.

]]> 10 Jan 2007 08:30:50 Wing Commander I Set in the year 2654, Wing Commander tells a tale of mankind's struggle for survival in a ferocious war between the Human Confederation and the warmongering Kilrathi Empire, a fierce bi-pedal feline race.





"You're a starfighter pilot, the best of the best, but nothing in your training prepared you for action this hot. Deep space dogfights against Kilrathi aces are deadly, and the future of humanity is on the line each time you fly!


Wing Commander puts you in the middle of the most intense starship action you've ever experienced outside of a movie theatre. But in Wing Commander, you're the star!"





The majority of the game takes place within the cockpit of various space fighters. Depending on how well one performs while in action, the player may find themselves on the winning or losing path thus altering the plot accordingly. Medals and the respect of your wingmen are gained if performance is exemplary, in turn leading to a more effective attack wing. In between space-flight missions the player is free to roam the legendary carrier "TCS Tiger's Claw" and have conversations with their fellow crew mates, learning more about the horrors and triumphs of the bloody war that is now being fought.


When Wing Commander was released in 1990, the in-game graphics and space-combat engine were a step above all other products during that period. The game was even one of the first to use the new Sound Blaster for PC's, adding to the already cinematic feel of the game.


The strong script and characters which has been a staple through out the series are the primary reason why the Wing Commander has gained such a strong following over the years. That combined with movie-like presentation and strong gameplay has made the venerable Wing Commander a classic among gamers and critics.

]]> 11 Feb 2007 07:47:45 Shellcore Shellcore Beta


Shellcore is a simple tank game made in Torque Game Builder. You control the tank with "w", "a", "s" and "d" and fire shells with the left mouse button. The right mouse button fires the machine gun which is good for destroying RPGs before they hit your tank.

The point of the game is to get the highscore. Challenge your friends and enemies to beat your score. If they are unable, point and laugh at them.

I made Shellcore in order to get acquainted with the new Torque Game Builder. It is currently in beta stages.

Just have a little fun with the game . . . I also appreciate suggestions.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 03:43:44 Wing Commander II Released in 1991, Wing Commander 2 is a sci-fi space simulation that is a continuation of the storyline that was told in the original Wing Commander.






"Ten years ago, you were the Hero of Vega Sector, idol of millions - the starfighter pilot who single-handedly turned the tide of a major Kilrathi invasion. Then something went wrong.


You were disgraced, court-martialed and transferred to a backwater outpost. For years, your lightning-quick reflexes and instinctive dogfighting tactics went to waste while the Kilrathi killed your closest friends on the front lines.


But Mankind still needs a hero, now more than ever before. And you're still the best pilot in the Galaxy. You've got just one chance to prove yourself, just one chance to keep the Terran homeworlds from falling to the massed armada of the Empire of Kilrah."



Think you can handle it, flyboy?"





Again most of the game is spent flying missions in space for the Confederation in the continuing war effort against the fearsome Kilrathi Empire. When not flying missions, the player is also able to explore the "TCS Concordia" and talk to fellow crew-mates. A greater emphasis has been placed on storytelling, which gives the player a greater scope on the people fighting this war. The mood is darker than the original, mainly due to the fact that the Humans are in fact losing the war.


Wing Commander 2 bettered the original in every regard, from the updated graphics engine to the detailed script. It is considered an all-time classic within the gaming world.

]]> 15 Dec 2006 04:19:15 Blastforce - Beyond Duty

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.

Master Zilla unleashes his creations for their first test: to kill a single man, a shadow warrior.. Lo Wang!
]]> 15 Feb 2007 01:16:36 Tank Brigade Well, after quite a bit of work on JumpStart and one of its demos Tank Brigade I have decided to release the demo as a full working game. Basically its a single level game built around JumpStart. The Map to play on is randomly selected from a set list (currently 4 maps) and play exists of you trying to destroy all of the enemies on the screen. Some maps are generated procedurely and some are hard coded.

In the relased version sound is supported (turned off by default, turn it on in the options screen). I'll warn you now that the sound can get a bit annoing. Luckily you can press escape, go to options, turn it off, back, and resume game.

Graphics are completely from SpriteLib GPL. If anyone wants to take the time to create real graphics for the game I'd be happy to add them in and add on a credits screen.

  • Three distinct weapons, each with multiple power levels
  • Full-screen, non-stop eye candy
  • Up to four wingman to aid your ship
  • Customizable sound track system
    • ]]>     22 Mar 2007 09:33:25     Shoot the Messenger Burnie the Fire Elemental must survive waves of attacking demons while preventing the Bat-Like Mailer Daemons from escaping to deliver a message.

    Each time a Mailer Daemon gets past him, the time limit is suspended, and he must battle a gigantic multi-tentacled, shape-changing demon called the Zuuling.

    Move Burnie using the keyboard, and fire by aiming the mouse. The longer you hold the mouse button, the larger the fireballs Burnie can hurl. Large fireballs are faster and can burn through multiple demons.

    Shooting fireballs uses Mana, which can be replaced by holding the spacebar to Meditate. Meditation leaves Burnie vulnerable. Demons drop mana powerups when you send one fireball through multiple demons, each one leaves a larger powerup. Demons also drop life powerups when you create chain-reactions by burning demons that touch each other.

    The game is actually episode 112 of the webcomic Nerdcore: the Core Wars. There are three possible endings, depending on how well you perform. The game has 3 difficulty modes, 3 speed settings, and Audio options.

    ]]>     04 Jan 2007 08:24:43     Orbital sniper Welcome to utopia.
    The year is 2174, and you have been ordered to function as an
    orbital sniper. In your world there's just three kinds of people:
    VIPs, dissidents and normal citizens. VIPs run the world: they must
    not come to harm. Dissidents must die. If a commoner or two gets
    wasted in progress, it'll count against you when your post ends.

    You were a normal citizen only moments ago. If you manage to prove
    yourself and keep VIPs safe in your area, they might make you
    a VIP. Or do poorly enough and they might decide that you're the
    enemy.

    On screen, VIPs are designated blue, threats are designated red
    and the normal folk are white.

    You control the target with mouse; right-drag or use mouse wheel
    to zoom. Different zoom modes are useful for different things.
    Zoom full out to see the whole situation at a glance (with all
    that useless clutter removed), or zoom full in for better aiming.
    Several levels of zoom in between give different information.

    Left click fires your gun (which is based on some new physics laws
    that we haven't invented yet, as the target is destroyed instantly).
    The gun reloads for three seconds, so make sure you hit.

    A typical game round lasts for about 4 minutes. It starts out easy,
    but gets rather nasty later on.
    ]]>     19 Jan 2007 05:14:11     Dispell The evil warlock Brad has created a magical mutating machine and is turning the peaceful creatures of the bush into agents of evil, as Rhys the apprentice wizard you must put an end to his evil plan and restore them to their original state.

    Are you having trouble finding a game that still has those old quick reflex game mechanics you use to enjoy in the arcade, something that is tough enough to challenge you yet tame enough for your children?

    Dispell captures the great game play of the old arcade shooters and adds its own non-violent twist, our goal was to remove the mindless violence but keep the action. The resulting "Change, Catch, Collect" game play mechanic sets Dispell apart from all other shooters.

    Set in a fantasy world with a unique cast of witches, warlocks and mutated marsupials, Dispell puts an Australian twist on an old genre.

    Remember the glory days of PC gaming, everyone huddled around the keyboard together helping and hindering each others progress, Dispell’s unique "hot seat co-operative mode" has been designed from the ground up to allow players of all skill levels to play through the game together by dynamically setting the difficulty level as you swap in and out of the "hot seat".

    ]]>     20 May 2007 01:30:17     GUN GUN is an action-packed game set in the wild west.

    You start off as a hunter Colton White who works with his father Ned (voice by kris kristofferson) until something changes Colton's life forever. A long winding plot unfolds as you have to explore the lawless West to uncover the dark truth.

    GUN is a fantastic 3rd person shooter with plenty of side missions to break up the main story. There is plenty of Old Western movie references and the atmosphere of the West is captured perfectly.

    The action never stops. If riding horseback and shooting outlaws is your thing, then this is definitely your type of game!
    ]]>     12 Jun 2007 06:04:11     Space Rocks This started out as a homage to asteroids and has turned into a fun little project that I've been adding functionality and polishing it up. Please give feedback! Thanks! games@digitalblur.com

    How to play Space Rocks Beta v0.3:

    -Control the ship by moving the target cursor with the mouse and press 'W' or the right mouse button.

    -Additionaly you can use the 'A' and 'D' keys to rotate the ship left or right (currently needs work).

    -Shoot the asteroids with the left mouse button or the spacebar.

    -Pause the game by pressing 'P'

    -Use your ammo and thruster sparingly, you have a limited amount. Watch the icons in the upper left corner to monitor your levels. Pick up the powerups with an 'A' to recharge your ammo and powerups with a 'E' will restore your thruster energy.

    -The ship icon in the upper left corner of the screen will turn darker red every time an asteroid hits your ship and will be on fire when your damage is critical mass. Pick up the powerups with the '+' in the middle to recharge your sheilds and restore the ships health. It is on loan so - you break it you buy it...

    -You can pick up powerups after you destroy certain asteroids.

    Have Fun!

    ]]>     09 Dec 2006 09:25:39     Arrow Flash Arrow Flash is a horizontal scrolling shooter video game created by Telenet in 1990 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The game can be considered a multi-scrolling shooter, in that there are horizontal and vertically scrolling levels, although the ship does not change orientation when this happens.

    Like many scrolling shooters, the player initially has a basic shot, which can be upgraded and/or exchanged for different weapons, as well as gain smaller ships that follow the player's ship around and copy its attacks. As is usual, these powerups are distributed throughout the levels, and are lost when the player dies.

    Two additional mechanics differentiate Arrow Flash from similar scrolling shooters, one of which is that the ability to transform the player's ship. The two forms available are a humanoid mecha form and a typical jet form. The player's weapons change depending on the form. The jet form only shoots forward, while the the mecha form can fire diagonally; helper ships mimic the jet's actions but stay in a fixed formation behind the mecha. The game's titular "Arrow Flash" is a highly powerful attack for each form; the jet fires five large blasts forward, while the mecha form becomes engulfed in flame, rendering it immune to attack for a short while. Depending on the options set at the start of the game, arrow flashes are either required to be charged up with unlimited use or collected out on the field with no charge time.
