Max Vector: Resolution - VIDEO!!!

AfterBurnett

Hi guys,

My first game, Max Vector: Resolution should be submitted within a week or so. Thought you might like to see a video from an earlier version. Been a few tweaks since I made this vid

Any feedback is welcome... as long as it's good. LOL

Cheers!

AfterBurnett

hehe I just noticed the single frame at the start of my desktop.... oops. LOL.

AfterBurnett

If you guys would be so kind as to perhaps leave a nice comment or rating in the Touch Arcade thread, it'd be much appreciated

I love the retro games, the game looks very good and the sound is very fitting of a early r-type game. Well done

AfterBurnett

Cheers

Are you playing that on your iPhone 3G? The video seems a little bit choppy.

As an official Max Vector Tester™, I can assure you that it animates and plays really smoothly on my iPhone 3GS.

An excellent, polished game!

congrats dude, have bumped your post on TA

AfterBurnett

Cheers, guys. as for framerate, just played inside gs itself. Choppy as settings in snaps pro reflect the awesome power of my 1.5ghz core solo!

Love the look of the game; that takes me back, as they say! Looks to be a faithful rendition of the style of those days; fun to play too. Good luck with sales!

:-)

AfterBurnett

CHeers, you better buy it! Hahaha.

As another official Max Vector Tester™ I can confirm that this is, indeed, awesome

Before you submit to the app store, let me have a look at your blurb for the game first if you can. I really want this one to be a hit for ya, as it's obviously a labour of love

Any room for a 'What's your vector, er, Vector?' joke

Thanks, I might check it out. I used a free one... but it was crap. To tell the truth, I think Snapz Pro will be fine... I had just left it on default settings

Max Vector: Resolution brings the true 8-bit arcade experience to your iPhone. iPad or iPod Touch. Featuring classic side-scrolling shoot'em up gameplay, hoards of merciless enemies and epic boss battles, Max Vector: Resolution is the ultimate in addictive retro gaming. Relive the days of classic systems such as the Atari 2600, Intellivision and Commodore 64, only this time with the addition of a few upgrades. This is 8-Bit as you've never seen or heard before!

Featuring a thumping chiptune soundtrack by 8 Bit Weapon.

Max Vector: Resolution is the definitive classic shooter for the iPhone.

AfterBurnett

The text from the intro will be above that, too as well as the brief "how to play" rant.

This is 8-bit as you've never seen or heard before - this should be your lead-in, followed by the rest of your blurb.

Then have this:

Features:
-Gorgeous 8-bit visuals
-A thumping 8-bit soundtrack by 8 bit weapon (provide a url link)
-5 levels if intense side-scrolling action
-Boss battles
-saves your hi-scores

etc etc

THEN have the 'how to play bit'

THEN have the intro blurb from the game

I think people want to know what they're getting immediately. If you catch their interest, they'll want to know how to play.

The 'intro' blurb is just additional info.

Use more paragraphs.

Make sure your pics are in landscape mode (I've seen too many done in portrait for landscape games - it's just annoying!)

Make sure all your pics are of gameplay. No-one cares what your bloody menus look like, no matter how much work you put into them or how much you like them!

And with that, I'm off to play your latest build! GOOD LUCK

You never can tell with sheep...

Looks awesome!!! Did you do the artwork yourself?

quantumsheep

Also - make a new vid showing off one or two other levels

AfterBurnett

@artonskyblue: Yup, I suck as an artist - part of the reason I went retro! LOL.

@QS: Yeah, I'm gonna do a proper "trailer". I'm a filmmaker, remember

quantumsheep

Awesome

Really got all my hooves crossed for you

AfterBurnett

So do I! Um.... my feet, that is... I want to be able to fund my next film. It's all well and good having all the contacts but there are only so many movies I can get them to work for free on! ;-)

I hope your game gets featured in the new retro style games section!!! Looks like you put a lot of effort into it!

quantumsheep

There's a retro style games section????

AWESOME

AfterBurnett

SInce when was there a retro section? I DON'T LIKE HAVING COMPETITION! lol. I hope that doesn't mean I can't be in the main section also....

debugdesign

Looks wicked, well done mate!

expired_012

Yup, there is a new retro section. And its on the device app store too!! If it gets features there you're looking at a ton of cash!!
