Project Overview

An arcade shoot-em-up game designed to compete in the TDC Arcade game compo (see here http://www.create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=269674).

The game sees the player as a Soran fighter pilot in a battle simulation. Within the simulation, the number of hologram enemies steadily increases as the timer decreases. Scores are increased for each enemy destroyed and multiplied with multiple hits. Once shot down, hologram enemies will drop timer extension cubes that can be collected to extend the time the player has in the simulation.

The idea behind the game was originally going to be one of the mini-games in Space Commander Re-loaded (and may well still be in some form!) and updates for that project can be found here: http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1612

My "to-do" list looks like this:

Compose and add in-game music

Add sound effects to non in-game events

Construct the instruction screen

Tweak the format of the score display at the end of game

Playtest to iron out any bugs

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Finally all done; i'll upload a full-game video and the game itself will be submitted to the site later tonight for everyone's pleasure. Just realised that this game has taken me just over a week to make - i cannot believe how quick it all went!

The finish line is near...

Oh wow, can't believe how close i am to completing this mini-project. Just one more item to cross off my list and i hope to finish this tonight before submitting it for the TDC Arcade

I can't help but notice the irony that this is my first mini-game, originating from a very large project i started last year that was supposed to be.... my first mini-game!

Compose and add in-game music

Add sound effects to non in-game events

Construct the instruction screen

Tweak the format of the score display at the end of game

I've been pushing forwards with my TDC Arcade Compo entry yesterday and can now finally say that i have finished the gameplay! In order to finish the game now i need to complete the following;

Compose and add in-game music

Add sound effects to non in-game events

Construct the instruction screen

Tweak the format of the score display at the end of game

Playtest to iron out any bugs

I think i should have all this done by the tail-end of next weekend and will submit my entry as soon as it's finished

Meanwhile, enjoy some more screenshots!
