This time the game is quite big (around 1Mb) because i exported gfx and
sfx stuff into proper file outside the exe.


>>WILL:
I know that the PGD Compo does not require a Quake 5 game to compete
but it's my way of thinking.. I don't feel familiar with english when i must
explain things like this but Invasion in my mind should be nothing more
than a little casual game (flash stuff usually). What I imagine as a compo
project is something very very different.

Last year i had a very ambitius game to code, and because of my job
i couldn't finish it or at least follow its evolution. So i quitted and decided
not to enter this year to avoid the same thing happen again. I'm sorry for that but this is me ops:

As last note, please don't say that "I think you're holding yourself to an
unrealistic standard to be honest", because it's not true. Simply i'm not
going to begin something i'm not sure to finish as i would, that's it.

I prefer to show my love and contribute to pascal gamedev with my own
deadlines and ideas of games. I'm sorry if this sounds stupid.

Friendly,
FNX

Hey, started the game and finally I was able to take a look at it
Looks very nice and addictive! But the first time I shot at big amount of parachutes t create a chain reaction I got the following error:

"Image 'HintX210' not found"

Anyhow... looks simple but good The kind of games you need in your break at office *hehe*

Greetings,
Dirk

Edit: Started it a second time without problems now.... Hmmm...

How do I get new Ammo?

Hi Huehnerschaender and thanx for the feedback!

"Image 'HintX210' not found"

Edit: Started it a second time without problems now.... Hmmm...

How do I get new Ammo?

1- Hint not found is simply because i did images only up to 200, that is
the 20th consecutive parachuter exploded, ehhehe i should add at least
images until 30... to explain it, the hint is the little "+10, +20 etc..." that
scroll up when something explode (bomb or parachuter)..

2-the second time you did not have a chain of 20+ explosion, that's it

3-About the ammo, as of the first post of this thread:

-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 15+ enemies gives bonus points and +20 ammo

anyway you should see another hint "AMMO+5" or "AMMO+10" or "AMMO+20" when you get additional ammo.


Have fun

Hey FNX, it worked for me this time. Good work. The combos are interesting, and I found it a little odd at first since I thought I had to shoot the bombs. Anyway, I got the hang of it and got into the second wave, while making combos of up to +10 ammo.

Nice work overall. And I completely understand why you didn't join the competition. I don't like rules and deadlines either.

Hello mate

Very cool game Nice combo feature

No problems with running it on crap like SiS 741 integrated graphic card.

Well I can understand what you're saying. It makes sense. You just don't like the rules. It's far different than if you actually presuming that you couldn't. I just wanted to make sure that you weren't just knocking yourself down. Thats all.

Unfortunately I can't try your game yet as I'm at work, but I'll give it a run at home tonight.

I think there will be many posts after ending of this year PGD Annual but I can't stand this pressure anymore and must say it: please make next competition with at least 6 month deadline. I wanted to join this year but I knew I didn't make it on time

[FNX]

WILL: , Actually the things are 2:

1-I like the rules, but i'm not at high school anymore so i can't afford a
stable plan of developing to follow deadlines, just because of lack of time
or non-costant spare time. (And to me joining a deadline based compo
without actually respect them sounds stupid/useless)

2-Of course i'm not knocking down, if you'd know me personally you'd find
out that i'm the exact opposite, you know a sort of japanese anime bad guy eheheh.
I don't know that expression at all
BUT, let me say that i'd never entered the competition with THIS game
at least, not because of unreachable quality but because it's good to
challenge myself with something more complicated than a 3 days coding
thingy

Anyway thanx for your support, sincerly!

OK, let's quit the OT and play Invasion ehehehe
I'm going to add a few more stuff (highscores and minor things + custom
gfx and bugfix) next days than i'll repost an update.
