Earth Under Attack - [ v1.1 Available !! ]

[??????]

Love the new screenshots. When are the public, buggy creeps going to get to play? After the contest maybe?

Only 9 days away my friend. 9 little days

Liking the new update, basically went from undecided to one of the most exciting titles thus far.

Thanks man. Can always hit the like button and show the love <3

A lot of the game 'footage', screenshots and such, have been held back on purpose..

Because I was using the votes to determine which direction this project should take - most things where in a placeholder state. (everything was temp)

Since I have enough feedback to go on, I just started properly coding in features.

Currently, the feature getting added is gun images (onto each ship) - based on the current weapon type. After that, I will fix the bullets that are fired and use the proper images I have (the bullet images in screeenshots are still placeholders )

Spoiler

Obviously though, it is Hyde and his godly graphic glue that has made this project so visually appealing. Me and Hyde have done a few things together in the past so we have a good rapport. We only discussed levels once. I told him the kind of ideas I had and he has done a wonderful job making them into a reality And dont forget Edgar Farreira's excellent ship images either ^_^

Anyway, dont want to give too much away just yet...

Still a whole week to go - full of spoilers - full of surprises - full of FUN!!

.. Watch This Space ..

Undecided to "one of the most exciting titles"? Wow, that makes me feel good. Thank you

And dekita isn't lying, lol. We have worked together on quite a bit of stuff over time. And funny enough, we have kept the same private message conversation this whole time. Our private message is about to hit 900 messages soon I believe, lol.

And as dekita said, there is much more to come before the week is out!

That looks great! Nice feature!

Also, the new screenshots featuring the 2 ships I were talking about looks awesome! Just one question though, in the second one, if you look somewhere in the scores, you can see a ship blending in the numbers.. Is that supposed to happen?

... Our private message is about to hit 900 messages soon I believe, lol...

How do you know how many messages our convo contains? I checked and cant see any message counter type thing :/

All I know is were damn close to page 42 lol.

Thanks.

No, the ship that is seen behind the HUD in screenshot 2 is not meant to be behind the HUD. I just have to change the way the ships spawn - its no major problem

Edit:

Just noticed that someone has actually said there is not a chance they will play this game... Any way that person would be willing to tell me why they would not consider playing this game? Feedback is always appreciated

Check your conversations page, there should be a replies value in each conversation! Ours have 32 for example! xD

Thanks.

Yeah, I figured.. I had the same problem when I tried to do a similar game using Action Script! xD

Yea I see now. I never check that page, I usually jut open recently received messages

Its not really a problem, its simply one line of code that used to be this...

    @ship_y_p = 60 + rand(Graphics.height - 100)
And is now this...

    @ship_y_p = 100 + rand(Graphics.height - 200)
'Problem' solved

 

[JohnnyR]

Yeah.. My problem in Action Script was little bit more complex.. I had to edit a whole class file! LOL

Anyway, glad you fixed it! 

 

[??????]

Yea, I can imagine it being quite a bit more complex lol

I dont know whether to release new info now... Or wait till exactly 1 week away...

Hmm....

 

[JohnnyR]

I dont know whether to release new info now... Or wait till exactly 1 week away...

Hmm....

RELEASE IT!!! TELL US, NOW!!!! 

 

[??????]

Well... I dont really want to say very much... Lets just say me and Hyde have been having a little chat about things we could offer - to you guys (the players) - for simply enjoying this game when its released...

Feel free to begin wild speculation on what this cryptic message could mean

Onto something more solid...

Here is a little logo I whipped up for 'dekyde studios' - yes, its an amalgamation of mine and hydes names - im not the most imaginative of people when it comes to names, as is evident from my generic game title.

also, you guys can expect some new THIN support bars tomorrow ^_^

 

[EternalShadow]

Aaaah, NOW I know why you wanted those space parallaxes!


looks to be interesting, though side-scrollers aren't really my thing. I'll give this a chance upon release though.

 

[??????]

lol yea, this is why I was hunting for space parallaxes. That was before Hyde joined the team though

Since then, he has done all the parallaxes in the game - and a fine job he has done too I think.

 

[hyde9318]

It was cool that it turned out to be a space game cause space parallaxes are my favorite to make. Space can be absolutely beautiful.

 

[??????]

Yea man, space can be a very cool backdrop for most games.

Hell, even call of duty is in space these days lol

 

[The Prince of Sarcasm]

I love astronomy, and space. Louie Giglio does some amasing talks on astronomy. (he is a chritstian pastor.)

 

[??????]

As promised, here are some new thin support bars.

Check the OP for the image codes.

Also, as it is only 7 days until this game is released to you guys, here is a little peek at what you can expect...

I plan on releasing some screenshots at random points over the next week. Make sure to check the thread regularly to keep up-to-date

Edit:

Heres another one

 

[hyde9318]

More userbars to come as well, plus a cool event everyone involving EUA in the works currently. More details soon. However, i do have one update for everyone... We are on Facebook now!

Cool. Added support bar to my signature. This game looks like it actually might be fun when it comes out. Looking forward.

Sweet. Thanks for the support ^_^

And trust me, its getting pretty addicting now... Recently I have spent more time playing than actually writing the systems lol


Just updated the OP with link to the new Facebook page. Remember to hit like and share when you visit us there  - that way you can get an instant notification when we release the game - no matter where you are

Edit:

Close to page 8 now I think...

 

[JohnnyR]
