Community Laser Project

Ok, this is a continuation of the thread started by Rob Farely, with the turret idea. I'm just really making this for fun, but i want to put down some good graphics for it and sounds. I've made some pretty basic stuff. A small yard with two containers and a factory at the back, with some mesh fensing, and i've modelled and textured the laser cannon plus the bullets it shoots.

I'm really looking for help with the enemies mostly. I should have all the coding skills to complete this task and hopefully the modelling for scenary, (although any help would be grand with specific items :o) )

I'm not looking to make money out of this, as i say, it's just a fun project. All the models i make personally are free (textures are bought and modified so i dunno about them?)

Just if anyone can spare some time :o) I'm in no rush!

This is what i have so far. No source unfortunetly, as i use the particle candy lib, just an .exe file.

CONTROLS:

Mouse to move cannon.
Left button to shoot pulses
Right button to shoot laser beam.

If you hold down the mouse buttons too long, the bar and the cannon will change colour and the cannon will over heat, emitting steam.

I should explain a little more about the game. It will be like waves of enemies coming at you. The idea is to fend them off. Every level will feature a shield. Enemies will need to come through the shield before they can shoot at you, so you need to shoot them before you get there.

There will be different levels. The cannon will be mounted on the back of a boat in one level with enemies chasing you across sea.

Other ideas include putting the cannon on a rail, and giving you the option to avoid enemy attacks by moving back and forth along the rail.

At the end of each level, points will be awarded and converted to cash to allow you to upgrade the abilities of your cannon.

Went down like a lead balloon :oD

If it makes you feel any better, I am sure Puki has already swiped your media.

Hehehe :o)

i see my fence :) it made it.

Check your e-mail Ross C... :)

Yep, sorry mayaman, i rebuilt the fence. But credit to your design. I copied it, so credit to you :o)

Thanks Moraldi, i'll check when i get home. I'm looking mainly for robots and mechs, but zombies could be an interesting idea ;o)

you could use psionics mabe.
