Homebrew Shmup 'Odyssen' work in progress

[kokocipher]

very cool weapons. Is this 2.5D or 2D?

[SteevTee]

@kokocipher It's all 2d, using pre-rendered 3d sprites. I guess you could say it's 2.25d.

Cool game!.

Is that prerrendered 3d? Or real 3d?

[SteevTee]

@MonoCabron123 Thanks! It's all pre-rendered graphics

[cobolfingaz]

Beautiful!

[fuzzstrat]

Yes please.

Heh, I see a lot of Treasure there. :)

I have uploaded a set of recent screen grabs on flickr. Just search for odyssen.

Wao, how do you make those great transparency effects like that with MMF? I could never figure out how to make transparencies look any good, so I stuck with solid sprites.

[SteevTee]

For the explosions, I set the Ink effect to 'Or'. It's not perfect, but looks ok when the game is in motion. It also works better on dark backgrounds.

Probably wont enter it into the competition as I don't think it will fit the criteria, and probably wont be finished in time either!

The game will most probably be free, if I can get it hosted, or available from myself with just the cost of post/CD etc.

I will post some pictures at some point too.

looks fantastic. What engine are you using? Will this be free or shareware?

[Ikaruga68]

Is this for Shmupdev's Option competition?

The game looks fantastic! Trying to get into Multimedia Fusion, very inspiring stuff :) Good luck!
