Semantix Wip Demo


thanks k0j0 :D

I did know about your compo but I won't have time to get this anywhere near finished before the deadline. I thought I'd do a little demo like this instead. :)
 
ooh! new stuff from the wub. any screenshots available, I don't have any batteries ATM...
 
Wow, really cool arcade game!
I like it very much! How long until a full release? :D
Can`t wait to play it, even though I didn`t get past the third wave in my tries :lol:
 
Thanks Quiest! I'm really glad you like it :)

I couldn't resist throwing in a powerup and a few more levels so there will be a final, final release tonight. How soon I finish the full game depends on how much feedback I get really..I've learnt the things I needed to learn from this to carry on with GPMuzic again so I may go back to that.

I should mention that I was thinking about making a little front end for the level designer with the ability to load in your own graphics. I haven't given it much more thought than that but I think something like SEUCK might be possible. It would be limited to making games like this though ;)

thanks again!
wub.
 
Just played it, works great on my BLU+!

Very fun, it reminds me of an old pc game I used to play, except that it was timed, 3minutes, and every baddie you shot gave you a few seconds, and every time you were hit you lost a few seconds.

Hope you enter this demo in the competition! Even if its not finished, its pretty fun.

Thanks for your comments mth411, didn't you do a shooter yourself for a gbax.com compo some time ago..? my memory's not what it used to be ;)

I've put the final file up on my site:
http://www.wublog.co.uk/

from there:
I had no time to add any new levels so all this brings to the party is the first weapon powerup - which can be gained by shooting chains of red badguys.
Check out the demo for a nifty way to give yourself a head start if you're finding it too hard ;)

I've said it in the readme but I'll say it here too: If you think you could have fun designing some levels for me and you have at least a little experience at doing that sort of thing, please get in touch. That would make a far better game sooner as I really do have to stop playing with this!

see ya, and thanks for your kind words guys :)
 
Great to hear you've been beavering away at the new game :D Soon as I get home from work I'll fire it up and give it a good thrashing..

Nice looking site btw, keep it up.
 
[meant to post ages ago then gp32x stopped working for a while and never did - soz!]

I've really tried to get the hang of this but I just can't get past the 3rd wave of bad dudes, the main reason being my joystick diagonals are completely screwed. But do you think the difficulty is set a little too high with all the bullets all over the place.

Think I already know the answer to that from watching the demo mode though, thats some smooth flying! Anyway I can tell you that the sprites and graphics look fantastic and so fluid too, the lasers are dead nice with the rapid fire mode.

One life is a quick killer, but I think the only fault is my joystick and I'm completely gutted as I want to play it more but it's just too frustrating. Keep it coming though, possibly an easy mode? Can't blame you if you don't though!
 
Hey Frolik :)

Thanks for posting about the game! Sorry about the difficulty but without diagonals you won't stand a chance...as you noticed :/

Those demo levels are no more than that, demo's. I'm sure the actual finished game will start off much easier and a difficulty setting could be put in somehow.
I'll send you beta's of the new levels when I start making them and you can tell me if I'm going too crazy :)

Get that joystick fixed! ;)
Thanks again!
 
that would be cool, keep me updated with your new stuff and I might even be able to do something good for you in the not so distant future....... ;)
