A little something for the weekend?

[Snakey]

Sounds pretty interesting, teamonkey. Bring it on!

[RiK]

A little bit of this, little bit of that....

Not a lot of major changes, but quite a lot of minor bits means it's probably worth downloading the llatest little thang.

I've got a few niceties on the go for the next phase, so it may take a couple of days to get things tidy enough for general consumption.

Suffice to say, expect some bigger, badder, baddies and hopefully a few gnu toys for you too.. Then I'll start on the first level proper methinks..

Enjoy:

thats excellent. That's some seriously impressive work for just 3 days!!



but my screen flickers like mad at the bottom right when I'm playing

almost like the sync/refresh (don't know the proper term for it) is out of sync

I luuuurve the game, it's inspiring me to dig out some of my work

I've looked at all the versions, and the latest, RiK, is fiendishly addictive

The spikey mines are devilishly fiendish though

Hmm - I should update that, it prolly about 5 days now....

Well it should sync @ 60Hz. Whats the spec of your PC? I've tested it on a Pentium 333 and it ran, albeit slowly without any sync problems. Would be interesting to persue it further.

Thanks.

Comments like that inspire me to actualy make a proper game out ot these little noodlings!

5 days - still some damn impressive work

I'm running quite an odd spec (well, odd as fair as the graphic card goes ) It's a Pentium 4, running on an iiyama Pro510 monitor with plenty of RAM. The graphic card is an NVIDIA Vanta (16Mb ), and running directx 8.1

I've just tried it on a P4, NVidia Geforce 4, and runs beautifully. My guess is the graphics card/drivers.

I'll see if I can download some newer drivers and see what happens.

Well so far I'm about a week in, and still having fun...

Started playing with some larger aliens, really just to see how busy I want to make things.


Nothing complex in there tech wise, but they do add a little something to the feel of the game so I'll be persuing this avenue a bit further methinks.

GFX are of course still very much placeholders, have no idea what the final thing is going to look like, because as yet its still just a bit of fun!

Still looking to work with someone who is graphically adept and willing to collaborate, so if you are up for it, gine me a shout!

Currently looks something like this :
