We need a title screen, and more levels, but I'd say we're done with gameplay.

quick update, added some new levels, and secret walls

This has come a long way! It's true it still really needs a title screen and didn't someone make a cool intro a while back? My computer was set up so if I hit control+any arrow it does different system commands like showing all windows or the DASHBOARD which really messed me up. Think you could add a change controls option? I know that just takes more work... I suppose for now I could just change the key to option. I'd like to add levels when I have time too.
EDIT: I keep getting killed only because it looks like three zombies when it's like eight because they OVERLAP. Every blammin' time. I got to level 2 though...
I wonder if it runs faster for me?
EDIT 2: Starting level 3 with  a swarm of 10 green zombies was not cool. They're easy to kill but not if you have 5 ammo left or something... I suppose that's partly the player's fault for not bringing enough but it can send them into an impossible situation. And absolutely add a short delay at the start of a level with some teleporting animation so you see where your guy starts. I haven't got the levels memorized like you guys who designed it!

dont forget to look for secret walls. *hint esspecially on the level where your spawned next to 10 enemies. if you dont have ammo in that situation just run, theres ammo nearby. im gonna have to add a teleport animation

[EqwanoX]

added teleport animation (much better), a title screen, and tweaked the levels a bit

[Connors]

Any issues with from now on changing the shoot key to use "optionkey"? I have a hard time without changing it.

[EqwanoX]

shoot to option? or bomb to option? i think it makes more sense for control to be shoot like in common mainstream games. i did the title screen, just continued with the DOOM theme,

[Connors]

That title screen is made of awesome. I like how you did the floor, is this all Photoshop?

And I meant change shoot to option because control messed me up but that's just me on 10.7. >_>

Tha title screen is full of epic! :O It appears that your skilling is rising above that of a professional.

Agreed, that title screen is awesome.  The text could be better though, it looks really plain compared to the detailed artwork behind it.

[EqwanoX]

thanks everyone. i tryed to add the video intro gan made, but when i click the screen while its playing it pauses and theres no way to resume it so it may just confuse the player if i left it in there cause it just freezes up.

oh god yes, photoshop is my jesus

yea what font should i use? i messed around with it but i couldnt find one that looked right

i added a speed limiter, so when the frames per second goes over 7 it adjusts the time to 5. i also forgot to mention i added demon enemies, their grid id is "6"

heres a new level i'm working on

Code: [Select]

   LET spawntimer=8    //time between enemy spawning
   LET enemylimit=25    //enemies in level
   LET maxenemy=12   //maximum amount of enemies on-screen
   LET line$(1)=  "00010010010901001001000"
   LET line$(2)=  "0F0R00000100010000000b0"

Hey guys, got an idea for fixing the video.

Silverwind's QoM intro consisted of just showing a bunch of images very fast.
I can split the video into images and we can show them like a video using Sc's DrawInage command.

I'll be home in like 20 min, I'll give it a spin.

[EqwanoX]

got a better idea, line up all the images in one image so i can import it as a sprite and just run a timer to cycle through them with sprite cutting. it would look like this

createsprite 1, "intro", 0,0,windowwidth, windowhieght
movesprite 1, 0,0
on timer 1
let frame+=1
recreatesprite 1, "intro", frame*width, windowheight, windowwidth, windowhieght
end timer

[EqwanoX]

also i can scale it down so it doesnt use so much space and impose it on a computer screen like this
