Is this anything like the old DOS game Triplane Turmoil?
If so, I totally want to move in with you forever!

barefoot · Thu 04/08/2011 13:12:30

Same type of thing..

Blast and Bomb targets

I may be stupid, but what are 'sorties'?

Also, 5% is a pretty dumb time to start a GIP, at least clear up those garish pixels!

BaptisteTheFool · Thu 04/08/2011 13:40:32

I read the title as "Tony Hawk Fighter" and was getting very excited.

Looks good!

No, this is the Tiger Woods version...

1: Sortie is a term for deployment or dispatch of one military unit, be it an aircraft, ship, or troops from a strongpoint.

2: If a game is just 1% done then it's in production and as long have you have 2 screen shots and a story line its eligible.

Garish pixels

Crude, tastless pictures!

The images shown are stretched examples.. all images are going to be adjusted as required.

I think you may be what you said you may be

sweet
Is this a side-scrolling game? I loved those games. They were common on the Super Nintendo.
I am interested in testing your game.

Hi Turtiathan

Yes, the backgrounds scroll across the screen in most scenes.

Thanks for your offer of testing. I will PM you when a few scenes are complete.

This game is a practice in the style of "Shoot 'em up."

Destroy planes, boats, tanks, hidden caves etc etc with missiles and bombs.

Nice, but I find having the HUD at the top of the screen rather than the bottom slightly weird.

I can't help but think you would have a substantially easier time if you were coding something like this in GML, but more power to you for pushing the boundaries on what one might typically find on AGS.

barefoot · Sat 27/08/2011 14:57:04

I started this game with it at the top...

I have since started asking people about top/bottom gui's.. As this is only a practice run game I decided to leave it at the top but I will def add your comment to my list and reference for future games of this style. Possibly Tiger Hawk 2?

Thanks for your comments KodiakBehr.

Using GML might be easier, I don't know but I prefer AGS and am only just begining to realise its power and possibilities (thanks to guys like Khris and Monkey and a few others).

I don't know about pushing any boundaries but it's another script/game style for me to push my own boundary's.

cheers
