Presenting a brand-new game and looking for collaborators

Sounds amazing! Do you need a musician?

Will have a look at the demo when I'm back at home. I have always wanted the opportunity to work on music for a game. I can write any style you need for the game - techno, drum 'n' bass, electronica, classical :lol: Let me know if you want to hear some examples of what I can do and if you want me to start working on some music for your game.

Well keep me in mind if you need me to do some title music, even if you don't want anything in-game :-)

Any chance of a MorphOS port?

EDIT
Also, I notice on your web site you are advertising for pixellers. Well actually I really like the in-game graphics in the screenshots. The cell-shading style gives it a retro, comic-book feel, while at the same time keeping the graphics simple. It makes a nice change from the pseudo-industrial look adopted by pretty much every other SEU on the planet. If it was my game, I would keep the graphics as they are :-)

Anyway, I've heard that the previous version of the demo already runs on MOS thanks to OS4Emu, although I don't know how well - comments about this are highly appreciated.

I'll try it on my PegII and let you know.

I understand there is a need for consistency.

 * I cannot use the graphics ripped off The Chaos Engine;

Of course - I didn't recognise them :-)

saimo wrote:
 * the objects graphics have a totally different style from the backgrounds;

It wasn't that noticable to me, but I suppose they are somewhat different.

saimo wrote:
 * the objects graphics are a rough/simple/bad/whatever - they would need much more work;

I disagree here - I think the objects (ships/enemies etc) look great. I love the style.

saimo wrote:
 * the amount of graphics is absolutely insufficient;
 * I can't anyway draw all that's missing even if I kept the current graphics and style.

Ahhh, hence the need for a pixeller :-)

As for the overall style, I agree: I don't want the game to look like any modern one: I don't absolutely want rendered graphics! What I'd love is anime or oldskool-demoscene (think of Banshee) style graphics.

But Banshee has already been made :-) I really love the cell-shaded graphics. I think they make the graphics really stand out and if done well can look very classy. Play XIII on the XBOX/PS2 and you will see what I mean.

The game does run under OS4Emu on MorphOS, but it's a bit unstable (tends to hang at random point). I haven't actually got in to the game yet as I find the "setup" section very confusing. When I try to press OK it tells me "Modules missing". What do I need to select to let me play the game?

I clicked on "F-L-A-S-H" and the little red wedge thing appeared on the right hand side, but when I press OK it still says "modules missing". On the Spaceship page only the Wedge is listed  :-(

No, when I hover over the setup I only see one component. I added the HelioCompressor and it allowed me to proceed, but then the game hung. It's obvously not compatible enough with OS4Emu to allow it to work.

If you want me to test a later version which may fix it at any point, let me know and I'll give it a go.

Honestly, I don't think I'm going to work on the code anymore... not until I find some collaborators.

I understand. Unfortunately my skills at pixelling are not good enough for this project, but my offer of writing the music still stands. PM me if you want to hear any examples of stuff I have done and I will send you some samples.

Thank you, but ATM it makes no sense taking also the burden of the audio part :boohoo:

What do you mean? I'd be doing all the work :-)

Fair enough. Well I really hope you get your project finished!
