Title: Will write some Amiga-Games - could need help of a Graphicer
Post by: on March 11, 2003, 07:36:30 AM

Hello everybody,

I'm going to adapt an old Amiga space shooter
to the new hardware (AmigaONE/Pegasos).

The game has no big story.
Endless hordes of space aliens poor down the screen
and our fellow space pilot(s) have of course
to save the Earth by shooting all Aliens.
The fun part will be, that by collecting space
energy bubbles they can get a huge number of bullets
and extra weapons.

For the new hardware I would like to improve the game
with hicolor graphics.

Is anybody interested in helping and drawing
huge space aliens, bugs,  spiders, worms and explosions?

I would like to finish/port this game in the next 4 month.
If you agree I would like make the game public domain.

 
Anyhelp is appreciated.

regards

Gunnar

Well, I'm no graphics artist; however, I would like to help you with a few good pointers for getting the help you need.

First, you need a website.  It doesn't have to be fancy, just something that has your contact information, a little about the game you are bringing up to date, and the assistance you would like to have.  There are several places to get free hosting (example: geocities (http://www.geocities.com)), and, if you are releasing the game as P.D., it's no skin off of your wallet.

Next, take the url to your little site (remember, it does not have be fancy), and make it a news item.  A news item will usually get propagated accross several of the amiga-sites, and voila! More bank for the buck.

I wish you good luck, and hope to see your release in the time frame you've allotted to it!

Unfortunatly I can`t help right now sorry. Sounds like a good project though. There are plenty of graphics artists around the Amiga so you shouln`t have any problems.

Good luck

Hi
If you are still looking for help I think we could arrange something.

We here at LDE have just started some projects for Pegasos/AmigaOS4 and I'm lacking a coder for similar title currently...

Are any graphics-artists interested in improving the graphics of Worm Wars?
