Archon 2160

Ok, Ive started programming this game myself instead of finding a proper programmer so please be gentle ;)
To find out what the game is about (cause I really love the whole idea) please visit my wikipage
http://archon2160.pbwiki.com

I have programmed Blitz3D for only one week and this is my first project.

Here's the demo (read about it further down on this thread)
http://archon2160.pbwiki.com/f/A2160TD.rar

demo soon?

I actually hope to release a small small demo in about 2-3 days. But I need to tweak some more ;)

This looks really cool!

Your website is quite informative. This looks like good stuff. I like the fact you've taken an old game's concept and created something fresh from it.

Your tank doesn't have shadows?

No, as I say.. It's only been one week of learning Blitz3D from scratch and I think Ive managed to do a lot in that time.Shadows will probably come later on.

AJirenius, I looked at your design. How long did it take you to pull all that together? Also, what happened to your team?

Well most of it was put up during May and June. Over summer there were a big lack of inactivity and therefor I decided to actually break up the whole team as I was the only one producing anyway.
I do have good contact with some of them though and there are one guy in particular who I probably will recieve some help from later on.

Im glad you like my graphics, hopefully you will like my newbie programming as well :P

Looks very cool.

Thanks guys.
Im right now putting together a demo just to show in here (not the "official demo" but just to give you a glance.
It will contain 3 playable units on one arena.

Gaargh.. That third unit for the demo is really messing it up for me.

Well I put up some screens of the 3 units ingame while you wait (at least I hope someone is waiting) for the demo.

I'm waiting for a demo...looks pretty cool.

I can hardly believe you've been working on blitz for as little time as you say.

Ok, here's the small 'demo'

Now, it's not even finished as a demo so there are bugs and strange things happening but at least you will get a hint of whats to expect later on.

The DJINNI-unit (nr3) cannot be played by both players on the same time right now so don tod it :D
Also you will need a joypad/joystick to be able to play against anybody else (which this whole game is about).
Try it out here: http://archon2160.pbwiki.com/f/A2160TD.rar

absolutely superb. great work!

Thanks man :D, well you see Ive been busy :D

looks very nice so far.

perhaps a programmer before, who is only new to blitz.

Thank you all. Well, yes this is not my first programming language no, even if I see myself as an artist before a programmer.
This is the first time ever program any 3D related though.

The Djinni attack do look very strange due to I create it with one flatlying sprite and one facing the camera.. any suggestions in how I should create it without having that stupid texture seam in the middle of the 'explosion' ?

double post.

Ok, Ill take this thread (and opportunity) to announce that Im looking for a partner in crime with this one.
I've realized that there there are too much art finished here and lots of coding to do so I would love to find another B3D programmer to join up with this team and we together could complete this pearl.

Please message me: ajirenius @t hotmail

Hope to hear from any of you...
