well, although my Aki-mock isn't done yet, I wanted to do something regarding my shoot em up.
there is a big problem ahead, as there seems no way to make different
levels with the current Multimedia Fusion Engine...

So, I got the idea of recoding it in C++ with the aid of a skilled programmer.
A friend told me, "do it in high-res!" and the idea is growing on me,
so I started to do a mockup in that resolution with what I got so far.

Mind you, it's still missing around 400 other enemies, effects and bullets :)
oh and the background will be further developed with the other tiles of the tileset.

thanks for the comment surt!
wonder what demo you tried... if it was the one I posted in the diversion section ages ago, then it's pretty outdated :P
here's a new version, although that version doesn't have a fitting weapon select at the moment. so selecting "illegal" weapon-setups are possible.
you can even play with all 10 at once... making HZ the easiest Shoot em up ever.
here's the link:http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=MAOKL7IF

and here's more progress...

the Dropship would be on screen all the time, in this highres-version, and would play a vital role in the gamedesign... you can recharge your energy there, and you can give the AI some simple tasks.

Whats the question for us?

We like, yes we like ; )

What more can I say.

thanks for all the comments guys :) I want to make the mockup as close to an actual screenshot as possible.

here's some more mayhem:

can you spot the rustbug and kitty? ;)

yea, I want to stuff in tons of easter-eggs :) so yea you gota search for the Rustbug, and there are 5 kitten to be saved in the level... There will probably be more.

I can't figure out how to get it changeable... I'll upload a windowed version when I get back from work.

I found the kitty and the rustbug
help : we can see only the weapon of the rusbug

since you guys seem to like the easter-eggs, I added 2 more :D

>:( finally found rustbug and now I have 2 more to find

I found the kitty and the rustbug immediately.. (after zooming in..) but I cant find the other 2.. is it possible you added the wrong image? the links of them are both exactly the same

As soon as you said "In the sky" I found the squid :P

Zoom in old man ;)

The squid is too the upper right of the left playership.

I see it but can't tell what it is.

The kitten is by far the easiest to find.

I found the rustbug.

I found a squid. (Nevermind someone already pointed that out.)

And... I can't find the fourth thing yet.

hehe look at the image posted above :)

please greenraven don't give exact positions out like that... others will not have fun this way.

regarding the circle - no

Is that... is that a scarab? Clever hiding spot!

I can't focus on anything else now I'm obssesed at being a total lozer looking.



*why can't they be kitty easy.

Found that thing too, and i think i know who it's supposed to be...
But I still don't know what that thing in the middle of the screen is :/

Anyways, awesome mockup, i really dig your style, mach weiter so :)

I see what the thing in the middle is, I'm just not sure who or what it's supposed to be.

i found the letters and decoded the phrase. i pm squirrel and waiting to see if its correct. here is a tip guys, color replacement.

i cant find the darn scarab.

not sure about that yet... but it probably will be. The final version should have 6 levels and there's a ton of special stuff, like a challenge mode, a logbook and other stuff like a online highscore that should make the game a pretty deep "experience".
So yes, probably a 6 level version with extra stuff, and a free one level Demo.

i prefer for the ds. Nintendo products were made for 2D and not for 3D.

is there a metaru's tarro ennemy ? I see one, tell me if I got crazy
