+pboland Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Although it looks like Robotron it won't play like it. Nonner and I are still deciding what will be in the game. Hopefully, there will be some updates at the end of the week. This game looks really cool. I know you stated it won't play like Robotron, but maybe the controller could be held sideways (more like a joy pad) and the firing buttons would be the on the key pad. Of course that would only allow for 8 way firing and you would have to program the game so the controller works sideways. That might through some people off. Just a idea. Awesome work, can't wait to see more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sorry if it was asked before, but when do you plan to release this game? I dont mean a date, I just wonder if Mars Mini Games will be released before Killbotz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Good idea! I hadn't thought of that. I'll implement it and see how it works out. Cool! I was looking at the INTV controller last night and I was wondering if it would be possible in your game (if you go with the sideways control layout) to choose left or right orientation? Side thought: Looking back at a couple of your animated screen shots, your game has kind of a Berzerk/Robotron (if you go with the sideways control layout) type feel. Why not put a little Tempest in there too. I was thinking specifically the "super zapper". If you go with the keypad firing layout, you could make the keypad number that is in the middle of the firing pattern a "super bomb" or "super zapper". Of course that might need to be limited to only 3 or so per game. Or mayde they can be earned via points or something. Now, the game would have a Berzerk/Robotron/Tempest feel. That would make for a very unique game play experience. Can't wait to hear how the sideways controller works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovy, I know that you don't typically do overlays, but you have an opportunity to break new ground here ... (Drum roll please ...) An Inty first, a landscape overlay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Nonner242 has come up with a brilliant title page logo for the game. If I get some time in the week I'll write the code to display it and take a screenshot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 After discussions with nonner242 the game's logo has turned into an animated sequence so it'll be little while longer before its ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
