[FNX]

Hello everybody,
a lot of time passed since my last "upload" so i decided to do some easy
stuff to post while you're waiting for bigger projects from the compo!

Here it is, Invasion is a simple game where you must create chain reaction
between parachuters and bombs falling from the sky. It took me about 3
nights do build (including ripping gfx eheheh) and it still need lots of tune up but basically the game works.
I've an artist working on the GFX actually, i'm not sure it will be as good as it looks now but for sure it will be
custom and not ripped as usual. (Game is coded in Delphi+DelphiX)

I've taken the concept from the demo Chain Reaction of this guy that is
developing a java game engine http://www.13thmonkey.org/~boris/jgame/

I spent so much time on that game that i thought to build a tribute to it!
I know what you all are thinking about.... :? :roll: :lol:
Also to see if i can code something similar in few time, of course i didn't
look at that demo source, i don't like copying, but learning!

Some instructions:

-Create chain reactions between bombs and parachuters (and vice versa)
to complete any wave (actually unlimited)

-You start with 15 bullets and you receive bonus from remaining bullets after every wave of enemies

-Every chain reaction of 5+ enemies gives bonus points and +5 ammo
-Every chain reaction of 10+ enemies gives bonus points and +10 ammo
-Every chain reaction of 20+ enemies gives bonus points and +20 ammo

-If invasion % reaches 100% or more you're dead immediately (10 people or bombs or both reach the floor)

In game keys:
Enter - Start the game
Pause - Pause the game
Esc - Should i say exit the game?
F - Show/Hide FPS
Mouse to aim and left button to shoot

Hey FNX, great to have you back!

NOTE : bumped to news item.

When waiting for a wave I get: "00.00.03 is not a valid time" and the whole thing freezes. Looks nice though.

Well that is a new feature called AIRBS that means Advanced Integrated
Random Bug System that generates bugs sometimes

I'll look into it, i've tested on 3 PCs with no problem, but as i said it took
me only 3 night to code it so i suspect it's full of bugs actually

Be patient and i'll post a fix/update in a couple of days!

[Huehnerschaender]

Your AIRBS-Systems loves me too

Got the error "00:01 is not a valid time" at startup, only black screen after that. So I was not able to take a single look at your game

[FNX]

Guys i'm really sorry and surprised! :shock:
I'm going to fix it as soon as i come back from work i promise!

[Legolas]

It works fine here (nice little game! :thumbup.
That error should be due to different international settings. I have tried to change my windows settings from Italian to English and the AIRBS raises here too.

Hey, very nice. Looks polished too. [size=9px](Got the error as well though :?)[/size]

And you say that you started this 3 days ago? Not bad!

So... why aren't you in the competition again? :scratch:

[FNX]

>>Legolas: thanx for that, there isn't any FormatDateTime there that i
remember about but i'll check why it happen

>>WILL: i'm not in the compo because i can't plan 3-4 months of spare
time to build a decent game.. I won't enter a compo with a game like this
eheheh, at least i hope you mean so!

I assure you all that tomorrow i'll provide a fix for the game with some
addons too!

Thanx again for the feedback, very appreciated!

[WILL]

Hold on. So whats so bad about this game?

The PGD Annual isn't a Build a 'Quake 5' Competition. It's a game making competition for those that like making games and to show off interest in doing so.

You have an artist making graphics that are not ripped, provided that those ripped were public domain you should be fine too.

You just need to add say another genre to it in some form and you have a competition entry. I'd say it seems like you made the game within the timeframe of the competition...


I think you're holding yourself to an unrealistic standard to be honest. The important thing about the PGD Annual is to show your love for making games in the language. No one is saying that if you can't make game X good you can't enter. It's really all up to you to stop telling yourself that.


Anyhow I hope you are able to finish this game in or out of the competition, it looks like a lot of fun. I'll be sure to give you some feedback once you put in the fix.
