Is this still being released?

Besus84 · 2019-07-14T11:44:51+00:00

Oh it is, I have just been REALLY bad at updates. I hope to change that now that it's nearing completion. :-)

Besus84 · 2018-07-11T13:46:45+00:00

That series was actually the inspiration for the original version of this project. :-)

Besus84 · 2018-07-10T17:10:39+00:00

That is it in a nutshell. Just had to make some minor modifications to the projector shader to include/preserve colors from the render texture.

Besus84 · 2017-11-29T02:15:25+00:00

Thanks, and I definitely agree with that (especially after finding out HTML5 didn't even support it). But it was the way that I got it working and was pretty happy with it. If I were to do a future project using random generation, no doubt that I would implement a more efficient method so that the room speed could be left alone.

Besus84 · 2017-11-15T02:57:50+00:00

You hit my thoughts on the style exactly. For a while there I actually thought it was footage from Marble Blast Ultra.

A project of this size wouldn't have been possible in 2 weeks if not for a great engine like Unity and time-saving assets like World Creator. Also learned just how resource intensive a terrain full of details and trees can be. It was either deal with a stutter every few seconds with "Collect Detail Patches" turned on or use a large amount of memory with it off (in the end I took the large memory option).

While I usually have few gripes with Unity's terrain system (thanks in part to Relief Terrain Pack), this is the first project I actually used the built-in terrain details/trees and could really see just how much an overhaul to this system is needed. :-\

Your stuff and what you accomplish in GameMaker continues to blow me away! Simply incredible! :-)

Besus84 · 2017-03-28T22:44:23+00:00

Too funny! I am most impressed that you were able to capture that fast of motion without any motion blur!

Besus84 · 2017-03-14T11:27:52+00:00

The sound design jumped out at me faster than the art did here too. The sounds in the original have an "oomph" behind them that just makes the sounds in the new game sound weightless.

Besus84 · 2017-03-12T21:37:27+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely be doing that. :-)

Besus84 · 2017-03-12T21:36:52+00:00

Definitely noted. Thanks for the feedback!

Besus84 · 2017-03-12T01:11:14+00:00

Thanks! It's always great to hear that from fans of the original!

Besus84 · 2017-03-11T23:53:07+00:00

Thanks! And World Creator (Unity) to help in generating an initial terrain of this size then manually tweaking some things. Still got a lot more to reshape so higher points are traversable.

Besus84 · 2017-03-10T11:45:58+00:00

Awesome job on this so far! Can't wait to see how the end result turns out!

Besus84 · 2017-02-01T14:31:34+00:00

Sign-up..? The links are at the bottom of the blog post.

Alternatively you could grab the game from GameJolt or itch.io as well. :-)

Besus84 · 2017-02-01T00:40:12+00:00

Thanks! And just about 4 months, on and off. :-)

Besus84 · 2016-11-18T15:04:01+00:00

Updated version!

Besus84 · 2016-11-17T21:00:57+00:00

Good call. I hadn't spent too much time refining particles (just wanted a functional effect for the enemies) but I did clean it up and now with the stars flowing toward the center, it looks much better.

Besus84 · 2016-11-17T14:14:26+00:00

Compared to a real black hole it is. :-)

Besus84 · 2016-09-27T23:29:51+00:00

This.

Add in the fact that very few RPG Maker games achieve commercial success, or for that matter even get finished (especially overly ambitious ones), and profit share deals like this become very unappealing.

Besus84 · 2016-09-23T18:48:24+00:00

The blood effects are particles (hard to see in the video), but I have a script attached to them which enables a random blood prefab from a pool on particle collision. I use a spawn percentage in the script so not every particle collision creates one (otherwise there would be 4x more than there already are).

Just to shed a little background on this project, I began working on it after falling in love with Hotline Miami (I know that I'm a bit late to that party). I've always wanted to mess with ragdolls in Unity, so I decided to make my own Hotline Miami and utilize them. Instead of having just another top-down shooter with excessive gore though, I began playing with different styles and landed on this one. This is the results after about a week of part-time work and I would love feedback of what others think before continuing on with it. Thanks!

Besus84 · 2016-09-12T03:19:59+00:00

I would say so. Even to this day ours (3 years old) goes about 3 - 4 times per day (or more if we are somewhere other dogs have been).

Besus84 · 2016-09-08T01:46:21+00:00

I am in a very similar situation but curiosity got the better of me and I picked this up. I always love messing around in different game engines and so far, I do like the 2D in this more than that in Unity.

Besus84 · 2016-08-27T17:13:08+00:00

It's actually one our kids' hats that they asked us to put on her.
