Noob making a 2D shooter

Antonio · 2012-10-09T15:56:39

It is hard to find people who understand that making a game can be a hobby. I am starting this thread to show you what I am working on and to get some feedback, tips, comments... It is a little project with uncertain future which I work on in my spare time. I am at the stage in which I just try to make certain stuff work properly, so the game has just one test level for now. The "game" uses a modified version of Advanced2D engine (J.S. Harbour). I just might rename it because of all the changes I am making to it. I am using textures from my third year college project ( SS 2D TLGH ) , and some textures that I made myself or found using Google. Don't think that final version (if I ever finish it) will look like this or it will have anything to do with Serious Sam or Super Mario. My inspiration are indie games like Soldat , Seal Hunter and Facewound. Added pixel shader abbility [media][/media] Changed entity management and collision (this is a "stress test") [media][/media] To see my other videos or progress you can visit my imaginary software company's Facebook and Youtube page: My YouTube channel My Facebook page My stuff that seems to work: - pixel shaders (for individual sprites or the whole scene) - multiple layer entity/sprite management - updated bounding rectangle collision detection (works with "point" sprites, "line" sprites (two-three points ), multiple collision boxes) - scrolling textures (works with only one texture per "scroller") - tile based large sprites (ground in the video is a large sprite drawn with a smaller texture) My stuff that doesn't quite work: - platforming (what an irony ) - colliding with platforms, walking on them, scrolling world objects... I will need help with that in "For Beginners" subforum. - realistic bouncing My wishlist: - skeletal animation - moving platforms...

Thanks

I released the source code of my early tech demo called Bloodcrafter. You can find the download links and additional info at my Facebook page. Don't expect much, it is a year old code and I was just beginig then. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.424767350899937.91229.193787573997917&type=3

I have some unused Steam keys from various game bundles, so I decided I will put one in my game/demo as a secret. It should be finished in the next two weeks.

You can vote on my Facebook page or just post here.

Humble Indie Bundle 2
Humble Indie Bundle 3
Serious Sam TFE & TSE (classic)
Sideway New York
Wasteland Angel
Nikopol - Secrets of the Immortals

Disclaimer: HIB keys are extra keys of bundles I already bought. Other keys are for Steam only games, so I am not doubling my purchase.
