New Video of the early Alpha build

January 24, 2013

Todays posting is a good one. I have a new gameplay video up.

the next part I'd like to work on is making individual levels for each planet and the navigation menu to go between them. So far everything takes place in one of my test rooms. one for a planet and one for an asteroid field.

I'm still trying different things for the user interface, it's very rough at the moment. I have some code for text windows I need to integrate into the game and I'm working on pop up menus like an inventory and a ship status window

recent changes.

-planetary gravity

-effect showing damage numbers on a hit

-different color damage numbers depending on type of damage and target

-new graphics for the armor and shields healthbars onscreen

-fully working asteroids that break down into smaller chunks when destroyed

-fully working comets with gaseous trails

-2 weapons are working, the laser blaster and explosive seeker missiles

-new enemy AI routines including 4 types of weapon and both offensive and defensive maneuvers. but it's still buggy as hell.

LINK- LINK -LINK (wtf I cant figure out how to change my link color)
