Air Roar submitted version.

Ron — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 18:27:00 +0000

Air Roar was submitted at version 1.1 as it was ready to for the demo. The time frame for the assignment wasn’t that long to consider a whole game so a demo was much more appropriate.

[EDIT]

I apologise for the quality. Fraps wasn’t able to capture this game due to the fact that it wasn’t rendering any 3D and that SDL went through windows display, so I had to use an alternate CamStudio, which isn’t that good with on-screen video gameplay capture.

[End Edit]

As from the pictures, enemy skins have changed and I have introduced the “blimp” enemy. The idea was to destroy the minature turrets that are attached to the blimp. The blimp is indestructable if not all of the turrets are destroy, only then that the blimp can be damaged. Changed variations with the enemies appearing into the screen, varying their speed aswell. Introduced boss fight at the end of the level, just like usual top scrollers. The end level boss can extend both of its arms to reach you. Any hit from them can be instant death. The idea behind the boss is to destroy every part of it until the main body is left. This is when the boss will start shooting particles at you that collide with your bullets, prevent some of you bullets from hitting hit. I think I’ve already mentioned this before but the design of all the assets in this game is made by me, including the background theme. If you’ve noticed, that song I produced was made simply fron TechnoEjay a long time ago, so I dediced to use the tune as it seems to fit this type of theme.

Anyways I’ll see about future updates for this game. Whether or not I’ll be continuing to work on this depends on various things. I will be updating here though any new improvements I have done to the this game.

If you require a running executable version please e-mail me about it and I’ll see to it. Any questions about the game you can comment here or e-mail me.

Air Roar first version

Ron — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 13:38:00 +0000

Version 1 of my top scroller, with some changes to the gui and other things. I have included a score multiplier, similar to Gun Roar. Each enemy you kill your multiplier goes up. This multiplier doesnt stay up, but decreases every frame, leading to taking down all the possible enemies that fly by. Here’s a couple of images:

Also further notes:
A version of the game must be executable on the PS2s (PlayerStation 2), therefore there will be changes to the initial UI screens in further versions due to simple game control mappings for the PS2. I hope to eventually update the PC version more and optimise it.

Air Roar prototype version

Here it is my very own top scroller game Air Roar, inspired heavily by Gun Roar. All assests in the game are created by moi and some scenes resemble that from the game. Like I said, Gun Roar is my inspiration to make a top scroller shooter of that style. Abstract images are always an eye candy to me.
Here’s images of the first prototype version of Air Roar. The test cubes are on Geometry Wars, which will not be used in the final version.

This is gonna become the assesment work for GHAP.
The top scroller uses SDL libraries and wrapper codes from Andrew William’s AWSprite classes.
