Invader Attack 2

[smasher501]

Mmm, I do not think so. I made the best Invader / Galaxian / etc. alike shmup in the history and I was banned from the number of websites.

Just no...

I'm also not allowed to open my own kickstarter project. Why? You tell me.

Umm because you don't live in the US? I can't open a kickstarter either...

$10 for a game that will be better than those 2? No. Only if you're willing to pay $19.

It doesn't matter what the price is, if the game is better than those two you'll make tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.

EDIT: slash that, only if you buy for $19.99, because 1999 is the year NATO bombed my country.

I'd literally buy the best shmup ever for 100$ and wouldn't even have to think about it. I think that I know many members who could do the same.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

Well, I was so motivated by what you all said I already made progress. Well, not exactly, I was mostly thinking about it and preparing meself psychologically. I am autistic, but Asperger's which is mild (I'm not buried deep inside my own world 90% of the time). Asperger's is actually an advantage, explains why I'm able to work fast, fully focused on the tasks, working in parallel. I already made the best shmup ever in my head, I just need to now do that with just 2 hands. Sometimes I wish I had more of those. But, it's done already! If you wish you can pay me in advance?

[n0rtygames]

[CoderGamesIsBack]

Yes, that's my expression during those remaining 10%.

[n0rtygames]

I dunno how we got to this point but now I just really wanna play your game. Get cracking with the prototype!

[CoderGamesIsBack]

I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna do it, for sure! It's not about the money, although the money would make it possible for me to only work on game development making dozens of games I always wanted to make. Working full time developing my own games is my dream. I'm gonna do it, yes! No one will ever make anything similar. It will be fantastic, amazing, piece of art. And everyone will ban me for it, out of jealousy, like they did with Invader Attack 2! It will be me against the hordes of jealous zombies!

EDIT: PS: could you at least un-ban me from Reddit, I really want to spread the great news!

EDIT2: I'm so excited I already went twice to the loo to dump the load!

[Shmuppet]

I think my Invaders-like game was WAAYYY better!

But CoderGames, let's make a competition out of this! You and me go and make the best vertical/horizontal shmup we can, and see whose game is better! And I'm talking about in EVERY category - gameplay, mechanics, powerups, scoring, music and graphics! I'm willing to go the whole 9 yards.

I'll give you until August 30th(50 days) to do it, just because you won't have a lot of time on your hands. Shmups in general are easy to make, making it good is what's gonna take the extra time. And we can have the active shmups community+any other community you want judge our projects in the above categories.

How about it? We can encourage each other to make the best game possible. No ifs, ands or buts! Sink or swim!

[CoderGamesIsBack]

You're such a downer, a party poop. Let me first make the best shmup ever then we'll talk. Sadly I already saw your game and if others think it's a great game, better than my Invader-like game then I'm done here, motivation all gone dude. You're all not being serious, just joking all the time, and I'm really serious all the time. Dude, WTF!?

EDIT: of course, let's do this, I was just joking. I'm working on it, it's already 0.5% completed! It's 100% complete inside my head though.

[Shmuppet]

Yay, competition! Good luck sir. I'm gonna get started right now!

[CoderGamesIsBack]

Fuck you, I'm already 1% done!!!

UPDATE: I managed to do a lot until this moment. I'm so great. Also, don't forget that I'm making a 3d game, so it will take more time than making a 2d game. But, coz of my awesome skills, it will take less than if someone else would do it. I succeed where others fail.

UPDATE2: I even amaze myself sometimes, that's how super I am.

Collision in classic shmups is very simple since there are no collisions between enemies and their own bullets. And it also simplifies the development since there's no physics either.

Anyway, work is progressing very well, I'm incredibly amazed with myself and amazing skills I possess. I got nothing to show, but will hopefully meet self-imposed-2-week deadline for prototype. There won't be any hud in the prototype or any indicators (you can imagine those on the bottom left and right side of the play area), but I'll try to develop most of core features. Anyway, if all gets well, I'm hoping to release an "early version" for all of you to support the game. It will be on my website for download and purchase, so make your wallets ready. That will be the day of truth, the crossroad, whether there will be enough of the support or not. Even if there's no support I will definitely finish the game one day, just not before my other projects.

I hope my competitor is not doing well. I'm sorry for saying that, but we autistic people with Assburger's syndrome are very competitive, so I can't help myself.

It doesn't exist in "classic shmups" because it's a bad idea, not because it's hard to do

Alos, start playing ultra street fighter IV if you're competitive person.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

I didn't say it's hard to do, but it's more time consuming. It also puts less strain on the processing if there's no collision. In Invader Attack 2 the realism was the most important part, so everything collides with everything else and it brings extra scores and bonuses, especially if it was the player who outsmarted the enemies. That's kind of shmup I always wanted to play, but didn't exist.

Fair enough.
Still, play USFIV.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

What's Street Fighter IV has to do with anything?

Still having less collision cases to implement is not only less time consuming, but easier, much easier if there are many possible collision types.

[n0rtygames]

Dude, chill out. You're behaving really fucking weird.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

I am weird!

EDIT: I just sincerely hope I won't get banned here as well, before I get the chance to show you 2-week prototype. I'm so amazing in every way.

[Lord Satori]

Okay, could you stop bragging and calling yourself amazing? It really doesn't do you any good. I get that you're excited and proud of yourself, but it makes you look like a self absorbed jerk when you say it all the time.

Also, I know somebody who has aspergers (not spelled "assburgers") and he's a pretty nice guy, so you shouldn't use a mental disorder to explain why you're overly competitive.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

What a dick you are, seriously. Asperger's (I was obviously joking when I said Assburger's) is a subset of autism spectrum. Spectrum means you're highly unlikely to encounter 2 persons who have the exact same autism. We are the next step of evolution, not mentally disordered. In fact, a thousand years from now, people like you will be considered retarded.

[Lord Satori]

I already know that it's related to autism, and the fact that you're unlikely to encounter two people with the same type further disproves what you said earlier about everyone with aspergers and autism being more competitive.

Also, I'd just like to point out that calling me a dick and then referring to yourself and all other autistic people as superior doesn't really help your case. I don't care how good a game you make, you will never see a dime from me.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

I don't care how good a game you make, you will never see a dime from me.

I knew that already. It was obvious from your initial comment, because of your mental disorder, that you wanted to tell me that, but you needed a reason. I can tell you this: you will never play any of my games for free.

[Cagar]

I'm really having hard time deciding if he's a troll or the worst game developer in history

[CoderGamesIsBack]

Who?

[smasher501]

Who?

You.

Also, I'm pretty sure you couldn't PAY most people to play your games, let alone them wanting them for free. Why would anyone waste their time on games that aren't fun?

[Shmuppet]

I hope my competitor is not doing well. I'm sorry for saying that, but we autistic people with Assburger's syndrome are very competitive, so I can't help myself.

Hahaha! Wow.

I have Asperger's myself, and I'm pretty laid back. Being competitive comes from grasping "the competitive spirit" when you decide that you're tired of losing and focus on improving. I play Tekken Tag 2/Revolution on a regular basis. I can't wait to play USFIV.

But so far you're winning, if you actually have a working prototype. But don't count me out yet! My shmup is gonna use Unity, as I really want to make a good cross-platform shmup with good graphics to sell commercially as VR Vicious Reality is finally making some decent sales! But I'm learning how to use Unity first. And then I'm gonna start on creating the 3D pre-rendered graphics.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

Sounds like you're not my competitor at all, more like a beginner.

No need to be an asshole, the results with speak for themselves.

[CoderGamesIsBack]

No need to be an asshole...

Then stop being one.

[Ghegs]

This is a weird thread.

Anyhoo...let's all take a deep breath and chill out.
