My first game - Reaper

allaboutiweb

So it's nowhere near finished yet, but you know how exciting it is when you start your first game and you can see it coming together before your very eyes.

There are lots of things I still have to add and have planned such as a few levels with the images turned negative and with a green tinge (a la nightvision goggles), an Air to Air Refuelling a/c may will come in the top of the screen as a powerup etc.... lots of things. I also want to allow the user to select the cammo on their UAV and get the Gnd to Air Missiles to fire properly, at the moment they only move if the UAV moves????

Anyway here's a video!

...

how true that is... I sometimes get so enamored of the initial progress, I don't want to go on...

your game is looking good... though think the bg should be darker for more contrast with the plane.

It's an interesting idea - Have you looked at the joystick demos available? They may work better than the pad you have at the moment.

Additionally, speak to Ian at debug design about some artwork - I'm sure he'd do a great job with a theme like this.

Good luck!

QS - Thanks for the advice, I will take a look at the joystick. I tend to agree now you mention it as it is more aeroplane like. As for graphics, I have them on order from somewhere else thats why the current ones I made don't look so hot; they're just fillers.

MH - I know what you mean, it must be the video. There is enough contrast when you see the game on an iPad.
