Original first post:

While everybody else is still arguing about opensource or not, Zip and I are starting to work on an entry for the competition.

As Zip has no problems with releasing his code as OpenSource and I don't mind to release the artwork as royalty free, we want to be a bit more open about the progress than linuxswat

For today, here is a little mockup for the titlescreen.
I know, some people see it as bad practice to start gamedevelopement with a titlescreen, but there already is more under the hood

Feel free to follow this thread as we go along and comment if you already think you know what this game will be about.

Let's see if you can figure it out.

I like the title screen , it looks good.

 

[crow_riot]

cool! looking forward for updates. is it ... a ... space invaders clone?

 

[iprice]

Looking good

 

[Askarus]

If this would be a title screen competition you might win it.


Unfortunately it's needs some more software.


:lol:

 

[Monkfish]

Looking Good! From the title screen i expect a fun arcade type experience, but perhaps it's something else all together. If the graphics are of a similar standard it will be a slick looking game.

 

[mcobit]

Thanks for your comments


More info will be coming the next days. Maybe some snippet every day.


And of course, crow_riot is right. But it won't be a simple clone.


Edit: spelled crow_riots name right.

 

[Askarus]

I'd live some combination as 2H4U does with tetris and breakout.


And of course items and an experience system which allows you to buy upgrades for the score you earned after each level.

 

[peelie]

^ what askarus said, anyone fixed the 2H4U bug oh that would be great!

 

[Farox]
