I've got an assignment to create a game using Flash to do at University, thought I'd share it and show it throughout the development. I'm new to ActionScript, so this is one huge learning experience to me. The plan is to have a single stage with a boss battle, and if I have time, a second stage. Rght now, I have the player ship movement and shooting working. Ignore that ugly UFO and white blob, I'm messing around with examples we've been provided. Not sure how enemies will work right now, I'm hoping to have them follow some kind of pattern of attack, quite like we see in console SHMUPS rather than randomness. I wish I was better at ship design, but I guess it will do, no idea what the enemies will look like yet. Anyway, ARROWS to move and SPACE to shoot. Hopefully by next week I'll have enemies working to some extent. http://www.mysega.co.uk/game/ (Work in progress!) The project is due in December, and the music is from Phantasy Star IV, don't know why I picked it, I just like it. :nod: Oh, and any ideas for names? I want something that sounds like a dodgy Japanese translation. :icon_bigg
Hey, that's not bad at all!!! I'd like to see the end result, I like your ship design a la Radiant Silvergun. Keep on the good work!!! :thumbsup:
Handles pretty smoothly, I like what I see so far. For a name suggestion that sounds poorly translated... heres a few to pick from: Zero Ignatation Battle Framewarrior Galparext ++ [ Gal(axy)Par(asite)Ext(ermination) ]
What happened to this then? It's the end of the year and the game has changed to a 2D scrolling After Burner game that is very broken.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, Thats a nice little game you got going there! I hope in the future those ships that are being shot at will explode ! Thats a nice start thought! :clap: I'd like to see the the finished product too!
That's sweet! Puts my hangman game I made for college to shame, even with a dictionary of over 250,000 words and 3 difficulty settings! How did you get on with this in the end?
It was unfinished sadly, I restarted from scratch (pretty much the same game) as it became a mess, I changed it to an After Burner fan-game, but didn't get it finish as I started to struggle with enemies shooting... :\ Haven't got my grade for it yet, handed it in incomplete. Someday I want to finish it though...
interesting, once I acquire enough time I was looking into messing with the 360 to try and attempt to make a Choplifter style clone, even if only 1 level or so.
