Shoot'em up 3D

[+DrTypo]

Here is a new shoot'em up in 3D for the Jag. VR is supported through BigPEmu.

This is a short game that has been on the back burner for quite a while but I decided to complete it thanks to the recent developpement of BigPEmu.

The game runs on a real jag with a skunkboard. It should work on a JagGD.

Using the VR mode is explained in the readme file. Don't do it on a real jag, your view will be upside down and locked to the side. Unless you've got a jagvr headset, then it might work.

Have fun!

Always fun to see some polygons on the Jag... nice job!

It's good to see your making a new game for the Jag again!

[SlidellMan]

Wow, that is impressive. I might have to tell some of my friends this.

OK, that looks very cool! I'll give it a try 👍

[CrazyChris]

Good job!

 

I wish pressing a button would cause the ship to fly forward for a couple of seconds.

 

Also, what do you think about a wire frame mode?

 

 

[Cyprian]

cool game,

one remark - it could be a bit faster

[+DrTypo]

Thank you all for your feedback!

I think I'll get back at it. I will try to make differents levels with differents corridors, to break the monotony.

Faster movements would indeed be nice. This should be easily fixed.

Making the game actually more fluid is more difficult. I would have to change the way I do 3D. This could lead to years of numberwang so I'm not keen on going this way...

 

[RollOut]

Happy to see you drop another title, @DrTypo. This sounds great, and I'll give it a shot later tonight. Much appreciated 👍

[CrazyChris]

The spaceship needs more shape to it.

However, I see how this would be in the way of the playfield.

So possibly, a wire-frame space ship would work, while

keeping everything else the same?

[UHATEIT]

Simple but fun. Honestly I enjoy everything that you have put out for the Jag!

[Boris K.]

Awesome, thanks so much!

Thanks DrTypo!  First game for the DrTypo Collection II 😁

[+Saturn]

I have yet to try this, been too busy. Will load it up soon tho!

[doctorclu]

Looks really cool, but then I've liked a lot of the games you've come up with.  Ok... I really liked Tube and had a cart made of it since I knew I would (and have) be playing that lot. 

[Gunther]

It looks very smooth on this video (last game).

 

Will there be outdoor/open sections?

This is great fun and with fab graphics and music. Well done Dr. Typo!!

This looks incredible. It runs very very smoothly. Did you write your own renderer for this?

Yes, I wrote my own renderer for this. It runs entirely on the GPU.

A new version of the game will be coming "soon". I already added a few levels.

Do you have tools to build levels or anything like that?

I make the 3D objects with Blender. I export them as Wavefront objects (a text format, very easy to parse) and convert them to a specific binary format that can be understood by my renderer with a simple C# tool I wrote.

The actual level data (enemy waves, area size) is written directly in C code.

That seems like a pretty simple process. Thanks for indulging me in my curiosity.

How far has everyone made it on this? I sat down to give it a real go tonight and got to wave 11 -- then at one point I flew through the wall on the right and got turned sideways. Couldn't straighten back out and died -- and that persisted even after returning to the title screen and trying to play a new game.

 

Here's a couple videos, if they're helpful:

Very strange @K3V

This looks like headtracking was enabled with no headtracker. In this case the camera points to the side.

Maybe you pressed "option" by accident? This button toggles headtracking.

 

[K3V]

Oh good call, that may be what happened then! I’ll give the game another run through and see if anything similar happens.
