Waves - UDK Game WIP May

I may have to tone the effects down a bit.

May plus a little bit of June in here. Enemy graphics replaced, background updated, new enemies (Virus and Atom), Rechargeable shield, Chain Frenzy mechanic, hundreds of tweaks and balance changes. Still just little ol' me on my own here.

Did you use Unreal Matinee to animate all of those hexagons in the background?... 'cause I think that that would take up a lot of performance. I wanna know how you could've done that if you didn't use Matinee. AMAZING GAME BY THE WAY!!!

@Matchewawa I'm using a vertex shader to offset the vertices of the background mesh.

[UnrealMan24]

That reminds me of Geometry Wars. Was that your inspiration?

[Hyper6664]

thats ultimate epic

VERY AWESOME if u add co-op i will definentaly buy it ;)

[systemathic]

hey this looks really cool- i especially like the vertx shader offset

ive just started to make a game in udk so im really impressed!

i really like the graphics, but the sounds are a bit flat.

hearing all the same explosions again and again is a shame (you could also drop the pitch of everything when in slomode).

with some better sounds, this would be even more awesome ;-)

if you want help there get in touch, i do that kind of thing

Here are some ideas for multiplayer matches:

Survival mode: The multiplayer version could host multiple players playing on the same level, but each in their own separate instance of the game. The players can't affect each other, but the competition lies in who survives the longest and gets the highest score.

Cooperative mode: Two players in the same arena, cooperating in a fight for survival.

I hope you like the ideas. Great game btw! It's challenging me to learn UDK! =)

@Matchewawa when you learn more, you'll be able to come back here and understand it, which is what I'm doing right now ; )
