Hi all, over the last 6 months or so I've been working on a hori shmup called 'Vulcano', using the assets from the Amiga versions of Turrican 1&2.



It's something I've always wanted to do and is based on the 3 shmup stages from Turrican 2, but expanding it to a full game.

Here's a video of the first stage:

I've made a few changes to the original gameplay however;

- How some of the weapons work
- Added a couple of new primary weapons ('Twin' & homing 'Powerline')
- Added 4 support weapons (Homing Missiles, Rocket, Grenade, Twin bombs)
- Reduced overall pace
- Player health (you can only take 4 hits now instead of the original health bar)
- Added my own backgrounds
And more...

Have a look and share your thoughts!

Cheers

Seems like a solid game! (And it reminds me a lot of good Amiga memories)

What game engine did you use?

Thanks very much suny!

Yes, it's my intention for it to be a mixture of the Amiga style and some of the classic horizontal shoot 'em ups, such as the Gradius and R-Type games.

I'm using Clickteam Fusion for the engine. I've been using it on and off since the days of The Games Factory through to Multimedia Fusion.
