| I've always wanted to make a low res game with some palette restrictions. This is for the compo at Shmup-Dev. Still a WIP and hopefully not a RIP Here are some screens: ( resizing has destroyed some pixel perfect art)   |
| ||
| It looks good for a retro style shmup game :) good luck for the compo ! |
| ||
| yeah good luck. I'd like to play this when ready :-) |
| ||
| cool! needs scanlines ;) |
| ||
| Looks great! Make scanlines optional. :) |
| ||
| I prefer the second screenshot to the title page. The title page text slightly doesn't match with the text on the second screen. It's just my opinion though, and I don't know the limitations/restrictions of your competition so don't take it the wrong way. - I think it is that the color gradient uses too few colors (or the text is too tall), but that is probably what you have to work with |
| ||
| Thanks guys the title scren is a bit rough yet I'll add more colors as necessary. Does anyone know the colors for the old 16 color mode (4 bit methinks)? I would like to use that palette. |
| ||
| Needs sid support.... ;)))))))))))))))))))))))) |
| ||
| That's too harsh for todays pin-sharp monitors - scan lines would definitely help. |
| ||
| what are scanlines just alpha black lines that darken everything, drawn every other line? |
| ||
| That's right - but scanlines give a textured look to graphics and therefore more detail and less harsh 'blocks of colour'. |

| Old School style games still freaking rock! My kids will even play some of the old school type games, even though they have many of the latest games. -Garrett |
| ||
| I agree Garrett, I visted my wife's niece and nephew on holiday some time ago and they had the Lord of the Rings game which probably cost millions to develop - yet they spent most of the time on my little galaxian game! |
| ||
| Ya i bought my gf a gamecube and several games and in the end, she plays only the old games collections (megaman, sonic, atari's, namco's etc) and i have personally been playing subspace for 10+ yrs (its not that old school, but its still a 2d topview asteroid clone) and i like that better than any fancy 3d game. |
| ||
| I like the gfxs, scanlines or not! @Steve: That's probably because "EA" isn't your nickname and your games don't crash to desktop all time... ;) |
| ||
| Sorry to be OT, but if you're into retro shmups, give this a whirl: http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/%7Eyosshin/my_works/index.html Jap retro goodness. And free! ;) |
| ||
| :-D |
| ||
| I've got sonic for the GC too and it's as good as the Megadrive original. |

| ||
| Big10p, nice link, great game thz. But the sound is totally screwed up on my machine (Audigy2). The very first time I played it, it was fine, then ever since, it's been messed up badly :-( weird. |
| ||
| Please see if this runs on your system. This might introduce you to my game mechanic, you need only move the ships left and right. z and c move the blue ship, b and m move the red ship. I still need to make the ships move within boundaries and not cross the screen's center. http://exoload.net/uploads/906/1158259674.zip (only 480 kb!) |
| ||
| I chromed up the lettering a bit. Any better?  |
| ||
| The green letters are nice but the DUO is now not as easy to read as it was before. :) |
| ||
| the original was best imho. |
| ||
| "Attack Force" looks okay, as Foppy says "Duo" is a little hard to read. |
| ||
| Hmm I have alot of varying opinions, I'll work on the title then. HUGE snakes  |
