So I finally made a game...

=o nc

Quite an impressive looking game! Well done :)

That being said, I haven't the free time these days to beta test anything, sorry.

Hi, I have a blog, can i write about it?

GG. Needs dragons.

Welcome to GM:S. :)
Your first game looks quite impressive, I will be keeping an eye out for it on the workshop.

Hey scorcher looks good man for a 1st game :) i hope you have great success with it !
I have played a few games of that genre and i think i can help you out by testing the game ...
I am a software engineer myself and been a gamer since 1997 and i have had some good ideas in mind but wasn't able to share them ... atleast i didn't have the chance until now... :)
I think i can be a good asset ... so keep me in mind !

Wow, Nice for your first game. I can volunteer and review the game for you if you want

I can even do a youtube video playtrhough while talking about it

I'm not very famous though, I just do random gameplay vids. Already like have 120k vid views and that's it

It must have achievements

Thanks for all kind words, I replaced the video with the current version :D.

Hi. Congratz on the game. :)
A few things from the video. These are just my suggestions. :)
1) The horizontal speed needs to be increased, most of the challenge of the genre comes from dodging and having to keep moving.
2) Maybe setting the enemies to "spawn" just outside the screen so they dont pop in, give them a first shot delay to make sure you dont get random bullets from unseen enemies.
3) Debris on the enemies, can be just a little non persisten scrap after the explosion.

You've done a good job so far. :) but iam sure you can polish it up and get even better.

Basicly anther open Tyrian?

far out. looks cool man, im not much of a shmup player myself but gl

this game looks awesome!
i love these kind of games!
i would like to volunteer!
:D
good luck with ur game

I want in on the beta testing if you want me.

Looks pretty good dude xD

Looks great but maybe make some more ''back attack'' i mean you get shoot more... but free? i think its worth atleast something if you know what i mean you invested 150$ on it! but ofc if you need another beta tester say if you want me

I didn't watch the video I'll admit, I'm just posting to say I would buy the game on the name alone. Now then, excuse me while I watch this video, and read the rest of your post XD

I would love to test your game. Played lots of these types of games and I enjoy most of them. I will tell you my ideas for this game when I come back. :)

Nice work man.

i'm interested

As a first game, it's quite impressive. Congrats!

No time to beta test atm, but I'll sure be looking for it in the Workshop.

Looks pretty good. I love shmups.

Nice looking game, I've been looking at GameMaker Studio as well. How hard was it for you to use? Do you need to have extensive programming and/or graphics knowledge to make this?

Alright so..
1)You could just take out that upgrading system on levels. You could make some kind of currency and each time you destroy ships, you need to pick up the money and scrap and with those, you can upgrade your ship when you kill the boss and get to the shop.
2)You should move faster. Dodging..
3)More ships, and more types of bosses.

Reply here if you want to add something.

I liked it, and I know it's only a teaser. But I'd like to suggest the following:

-Maybe introducing more types of enemies would be great. Or at least making them have more different attacks. I honestly don't know how difficult it is, I've never made a game myself so I'm saying it with complete ignorace of the matter. But for example the boss having two different attacks.

-Then if I were you I'll chage the perks to one of the following (This is all IMHO)
+Using tech trees (Or constellation as in Skyrim)
+Buying pieces for you spaceship to improve
+Keeping the current system but giving them "cool" names.

And could you explain to me how the base life works? It decreases everytime a ship goes past you? I didn't get it right.

Anyways I did like it, seemed fun, a bit too easy if only and the models are quite good too! Good job! :D
