Lil' GBA thing I made

Alright, turned out I forgot to put any header in the ROM, which doesnt matter for VBA but the real hardware does care... so I attached a new version. It also features support for wicked bullet patterns but it´s not visible yet.

 

Beautiful, works a treat, well done and thanks...

...The attached pics show it on the DS

 

Wow! Thanks so much! Do the A and B buttons do anything? I just got report from Drazic that the B button does nothing whereas it's supposed to spawn enemies.

And if anyone's wondering, AOYUS stands for "As Of Yet Unnamed Shmup"

 

Yeah sort of, one button fires bullets and the other button spawns sort of distorted 'blobs' out of the back of aircraft that you can control. (Hope that makes sense)

 

I think GSL will be most happy about you calling his artwork "blobs"

 

...Lol, well 'blobs' is the only way I can describe the undescribeable, I'm afraid.

 

Well, I never claimed to be GOOD at what I did. :smt043 Those 'blobs' ARE supposed to be an enemy design, but as copious amounts of the sprite are sent to the screen when the B button is pressed, it's easy to see how they could turn out to be a misshapen pixelated smear.

Bear with us, oldengineer. Once the engine gets more refined and I get some more art whipped up, hopefully things will look more like ships and such. :-D

 

Take the easy way out: turn them into alien "cloud" ships.

 

Alright, after a good few hours of coding I came up with some sort of "boss" fight:

(and yes, the player's craft is invincible as of yet)

 

Oh, and if it doesn't work on your PC/Mac/Sun/VAXstation/Pegasus I re-encoded it to divx, download it here.

 

Nice going! looks really cool! Wish I had that kinda talent (and time)...

 

Very nice

 

Thanks guys

Now all I need to implement is a decent bit of slowdown, for authenticity ;-)

but remember credit the authors of the chiptunes

if there are more than one chip author to the chiptunes .
