Quantasm Released

Our latest release :-




A vectorish shoot em up spread over 100 levels. Think of it as a reverse Tempest :)

Im sure we could put more particles on screen :)

Download it now from http://quantasm.ovine.net

Nice - is this Blitz Max?

Which operating system is this for?

yea its max using minib3d for the background tunnel.

its been tested on windows xp and vista (make sure you have your upto date drivers)

I like it, although it's a bit too busy for me. The background is too much in the foreground and the explosions have a tendency to hide enemies just as they're in the cocky area. (oo-err)

"Minter"? Is that you? Hello?

I like the "flashy" style :) congratulation :)

Hehehehe yea you cant have too many particles on screen, to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Minter is a massive honor and exactly the look we were going for - very Retro ;)

Mac version? ;-)

Get rid of that question mark. Be firm.

Mac version.

;)

Great game.
Lots of fun and really hectic.

Just a little question if I may...
Is there anything in the game that is sync'd to the music?
Or is it just my imagination?

The reason I ask is that I have been (for a long time) looking for a way to synchronise on-screen action to music, without having to manually tell the game when the beats take place.

There are several elements that are sync'd but unfortunately they are manually input. -well apart from the title screen that does actually look at what is playing and reacts accordingly. The title screen music had an easily detectable beat :)

We have no access to a Mac so - no Mac version - sorry.

I need a doctor for my eyes...

V2 has just been uploaded :-

Download the patch from http://quantasm.ovine.net/v2.zip or download the full version from http://quantasm.ovine.net

Due to popular demand the turning speed of the ship has been increased.

Good work. Couple of problems running on win98SE, though:
- I get no sound (SFX or music).
- Exiting left my desktop at 800x600.

I swear to god I'm going to *donate* a new computer to you Big. That machine of yours.... has it ever worked??? X-D

Windows 98 ! that still around ?!

Im surprised sound not working as we use BASS http://www.un4seen.com and never had trouble with it before.

Exiting left the desktop at 800x600.... thats over to BRL :) must be a an Opengl/windows thing.

Poor, old win98. Hey, it's ten years old, this year! \o/

I really like the style... downloading now...

Hey, but that's a modern take on Cylon Zap!

Great game... I was wondering for some time now what the game in your signature played like. :)

Its actually based on an old game called BEDLAM on the VECTREX, just given a modern style..........

Ahh yes I have Bedlam on the classic old Vectrex! I still have my vectrex in good working order at my parents house :-)

Just had a play, very cool game! Nice and slick!

Game's freekin' awesome! Love the over-the-top fx and the aural assault! Is this BlitzMax?

Would love to see more Vectrex games updated. I'm actually working on a game that's inspired by Cosmic Chasm.

Again, awesome work.

Yes its BlitzMax ;)

Love it. Spent a few good hours playing this last night. One thing though, it seemed to hang when I sent my hiscores even though I wasn't online at the time.... I know I know I should have done it but I wanted to see what happened. Great game though :)

Mac Version!

neet game, very vell made :)

Is there no way for you to borrow a Mac? ;)

Or send a mac person your source to compile it for you?

I've got plenty of Macs at work that I plan on using to compile my projects on, until I can buy one of my own.

Let me know.
