Well done on the promo! Reminds me of my childhood playing Metroid. There's no way a game could top it, but this may come close

Best of luck,

Thanks Henry! nah, I'll never top Super Metriod, I'm just hoping to bring something similar to the iphone

Here is the game in action! let me know what you guys think



Thanks

Looking good Ash! You're a man after my own heart. I plan to do something similar at some point. Are you using physics? Just curious, your main character seems to navigate its jumps pretty well. I had to do a lot of tricks with Run, Jump, Kill! to avoid using physics for performance reasons, while still allowing my hero to jump freely along walls and stuff.

Either way, keep going! I'm looking forward to playing this!

I'm enjoying the metroid vibe! Nicely done

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the feedback!
@Tom getting a jump right is really hard! I ended up giving the payer gravity that pulls him down, but when jump is pressed a timer constrains the Y velocity to 120 or 140 or what ever speed I picked, then the timer runs out and gravity pulls him back down

here are some new screens! should have another video up soon, and hopping to release Chapter 1 in the next week or two

This game reminds me metriod in snes. So far so good, i really like the dash. however you might want work on the main character sprite animation; like add more actions and make him holding the gun?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Looks great mate!

Awesome Work! Keep updating

mynameisace

Nice work, only thing I'd change is the icon. There are a LOAD of zombie games on the app store so I would use your robo-dude as the icon to separate you from the rest.

Ace

Thanks for the feedback you guys! much appreciated

CreeperWare

Looks fantastic! The production values are more than just a cut above most projects I see around here, you clearly put a lot of effort and heart into this. I really like the art style and the little touches, like how the bullet casings fall to the ground as you fire. Keep up the awesome work and be sure to let us know when it goes live!

ashtmj

@arcade16 Thanks! and sure thing, I'll be posting as soon as it's live

Side note to all: I'll be giving out free copies to random Twitter followers at launch, so if you have a twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/MonsterRobotGC

The menu screen, on this screen you can arrange which weapons are on your drop down weapon box on the play screen, kind of like the good old zelda weapon/item system


Vera gives you tips and clues about your current mission


The Lower Depths

Glom

The game looks like it's really coming along well. Can't wait to see the end product!

ashtmj

Thanks Glom!
here is some concept art!

Graybay

Dude, very exciting project you have here. Can't wait to try it!

ashtmj

Finally I've uploaded some footage of the touch controls!
Hopefully you guys will check it out and let me know what you think

Every thing is cool, except a lot of stretched textures.

ozboybrian

Loving it man. I can tell that a lot of work has gone into this and I wish you all the best in it.
I think the controls look a little confusing at times with jumping and shooting in the same section.

A lot of coding in this game and it looks so far so good. Yea, the only problem is the texture. Looks like you just cut it from the photo and stretch it to fit up the graphic for the game.

natzuur

This is looking really good. It's nice to see games with a lot of love and polish going into them. The little things really count, and you've got them. My only concern is that the interface (both HUD and pause) can get a little too intrusive and a bit too one noted in color. And as ace said, icon shouldn't be zombie. Show off the sci fi in the icon. Everything else is looking really damn good.
