I've been working away on this on and off for about a year now, so here is 9 minutes of un-edited gameplay footage of my current Max+MiniB3d+Brucey based project (please forgive the sound effects though, they're placeholder mostly!) :D

You got some nice games there Charlie. Well done :)

Thanks :)

Cheers

Yes, your games have all been great so far. You must be half man/half machine or something ... :^P


skn3(Posted 2010) [#5]
Awesome stuff! Personally I like the sound effects ;)


Grisu(Posted 2010) [#6]
I'm wondering what the real sound effects will be... :o)


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#7]
Regarding the sounds, most of them are just older ones that i've re-used from other games, and i've spent no time getting the volumes right either. Eventually i want to have a set of effects the contrast with the music in a less awkward way then the current ones do. The soundtrack (which i'm really, really happy with) is being done by John Marwin and i want it to be fully audible under the effects, which it currently isn't.

Wow, that Scoregasm is very exciting and colourful. Yeh, me sausage split his skin.


big10p(Posted 2010) [#9]
Very polished. I'm impressed.


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#10]
you wouldn't be so impressed if you could see the menu at this point, it's a stinker ;)

I'm planning a 3d galaxy sort of thing for the menus, a bit like Starfox on the snes/n64, only you'll be able to pick up and play from any level.

This looks awesome. Well done.


_Skully(Posted 2010) [#14]
too Hyper for me but ya... fantastic looking game.


Armitage 1982(Posted 2010) [#15]
Wow !
Insane rhythm and design !
I like what you have done there. Great game!


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#16]
Thanks:D

I've been trying to pack as much variety into the different levels as i can, as there's lot's of stuff you can do with a top down shooter that isn't just the usual survival stuff. So it's going pretty well on that front. I've also spent quite a lot of time making the game run at a solid 60fps, which has been tricky, as there's a lot going on! I'm very close with that though, just a couple of levels causing problems!

Cheers
Charlie

I'm STILL finishing this off! I'm actually almost done now though, which is nice! Here's a new video, although my computer is a bit sucky so the framerate isn't all that...

It's Blitzmax, MiniB3d and various Brucey stuff!

Cheers

CASO(Posted 2010) [#18]
Awesome work.

Too bad Brucey isn't here to see this.


Leto(Posted 2010) [#19]
That looks incredible, jkrankie. I feel like my head's going to explode with so much action though haha.


Chugs40(Posted 2010) [#20]
Watched your video. I must say - scoregasm looks pretty sweet! Is it B3D or Bmax? Both?


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#21]
It's Max and minib3d

Cheers
Charlie


Luis de la Cruz(Posted 2010) [#22]
Hi Charlie, I like your games. Very good work. Congratulations!


wmaass(Posted 2010) [#23]
Good stuff!


Noobody(Posted 2010) [#24]
I just experienced my first eyegasm. Very good work!


smilertoo(Posted 2010) [#25]
what are you using minib3d for? it all looks pretty much 2d.


Robert Cummings(Posted 2010) [#26]
presumably because some levels have 3D models.


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#27]
That's the crappy video quality making it look completely 2D.

The game is played on a 2d plane, but all the visuals are 3D. Some of them are a few months old, but here are some pics anyway:

Grisu(Posted 2010) [#28]
Great stuff!


MGE(Posted 2010) [#29]
man..those are small screen shots, couldn't you make them any bigger? ;)


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#30]
I have bigger if you want ;)

I just looked in my images folder and found these, didn't realize they were strange sizes, sorry!

Cheers
Charlie


Grey Alien(Posted 2010) [#31]
Looks insane and cool. Look forward to trying it out.


MGE(Posted 2010) [#32]
Charlie's games kick ass. Just wanted to publicly announce that. :)


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#33]
Thanks boss!

Cheers
