GroovyBee Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks like its inspired by Llamasoft's Lazer Zone. The video needs more "game" in my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Some bells and whistles, it will dress up a game like this. I know it's a prototype, but I could well imagine more aggressive Graphics. Nice Work so far, Louvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 First of all, best commercial ever for a ColecoVision game (that I'm aware of)! Second, is that two players playing in the trailer, or one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 First of all, best commercial ever for a ColecoVision game (that I'm aware of)! Second, is that two players playing in the trailer, or one? Yeah, and what happens when the ground/shield is gone? The game ends when one of the enemies passes through the opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 is that two players playing in the trailer, or one? Quoting myself. ... I see there's only one score showing, so I guess it's one player (at a time, at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) I would like to see more game play footage. Maybe a little discription of game play too. Edited June 22, 2014 by Yurkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg.gamepassion Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) It's juste a teaser :) Ok, it's a 1 player game. The difficulty is to control the two "defender" at the same time, with one joystick. Each time an ennemy touche the ship, it break the shield. If a ship pass the shield, it's game over. In other hand the "E" capsule are "energy", if it touch a shield hole, it repair it, and give you points (even if it not repair anything). BUT if you destroyed a "E" bonus, you loose lot of point ! The goal is to have the biggest score possible. The main mechanic and difficulty level is done, now i'll try do add more different ennemy and some other thing ...

AtariBuff Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Whew, my favourite TV show coming to my ColecoVision Nice for a teaser - can't wait for the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg.gamepassion Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 News from gameplay. Today i've change the gameplay. Now the defenders have 2 différents shoot. And ennemy are vurnerable only to one type of shoot (like a little Ikaruga). And i've added bonus stages, where you can try to repair the shield. I think the gameplay is well balanced now. I can work on Sound/Music now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just curious - was Jeff Minter's Gridrunner any inspiration for the game? One feature of Gridrunner is that the enemy shoot at you from two laser guns, one moving along the X-axis and the other along the Y-axis - whereas in your game it is you, the "defender" that shoots from these axes. From your trailer it looks like your game will be a great variation and addition to the schmups available for the CV. Looking forward to playing this.

Ikrananka Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Shipoid on C64 inspired me ... Maybe it's inspired itself from Gridrunner ... I think you mean "Sheepoid" which was itself inspired by another Jeff Minter game, "Laser Zone". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
