WIP - Gunner Blade (Action-Shooting Helicopter Game)

[TerminalInternet]

I was only about young adulthood and i started working on the 'very first' indie game project for contribution work Crayware's Shmups DEV Studios, My project title unofficial Gradius fangame title 'Gunner Blade' is the named from my good idea meant Action-Shooting Helicopter Game, Side-scrolling horizonal shooting game, I've been using with the game engine classic Game Maker 8.0 Pro Engine creating the customized Gradius GM engine, With the basic game design and beginner skills experiment of the indie game.

The game features with the first appearance debuted character Fahsai and her partner (Miku and Teto Mesmerizer), Who were hearing and listening Mesmerizer catchy song from previous a few months ago, Graphics made with the retro aspect pixel art, black line unique details, art style ChannelCastStation (The animator creation from Vocaloid fandom), Main-player can choose with the three type of helicopter scenario go through Set Course 3 only via 10 scenes, Power-up items supplies, Weapons selection, Many enemies and bosses, Stage design will go difficult and tricky challenging, Fast-paced action pack and much more.

In-game development of prototype Gunner Blade, Work in progressing owner only for private, I've been working on the Gunner Blade stage design, Some faces with the adjustment graphics doesn't fit in the effects and functional, The alpha version will be public there at the Thanksgiving 2024.

If you wanna to see the Prototype Version footage here with the Gunner Blade Private Testing Game, I'll be posting with the new details and updates, Post the replying chat let you know about feeling with the new game design.

In terms of sprite design you got the idea, but judging by the size of the screen, it looks a little big making it an easy target.

In terms of sprite design you got the idea, but judging by the size of the screen, it looks a little big making it an easy target.

The enemy plane ship sprites is too big, It's easily target to enemy plane ship, I think the sprites size require to reducing plane smaller one, Art sketches and concept art design for enemy plane ship.

[TerminalInternet]

I reduced the enemy ship sprites of 'enemyship_mark1' forms of the prototype, The size one of the small than large, Admitted i take painting digital art on the production design stage.

Second enemy ship appears in the prototype, After the testing with the object functional can move floating down, Shoot the projectiles come out from the front on it, And then it flew away like booster.

Main-player doesn't have hitbox and it only hit the entire of helicopter instead and not yet been fully works object.

Took me about hours and minutes working on this project.

Here's another preview.

It's been about a short days spend few hours and minutes after the build size of enemy ship sprites, Many object have basic functional movement with firing projectiles, Does a large amount of enemy ship can make easily target sight, I think the enemy ship have a health system with damage range from the player-ship must be strong firepower, Many enemies been added and small red one booster can go faster, If the enemy ship loaded booster before goes away, Designed with the enemy ship path move and bullet firing part.

This weekdays worked on the game development period, Until i'll might have shorter break weekend about 2-days, Before i resuming back on tracks.

Here is the rest of the prototype testing footage here.

It's been about few days and recently weeks, Since i attempting with the object functional does player get hit by a enemy bullet and respawning shield, Power-up meter system, Gameplay mechanism, But one of things that found out it was bugs and doesn't fit works for the object functional controller and power-up meter, A few minor bugs of game design, Doesn't work for the basic variants object, Until i'll tries to switching object movement and shifting code into the power-up meter or possibly given try that programming render gameplay mechanism.

It felt hard-time working here with the prototype build during the each weekdays and off from the quarters days, Here is the prototype footage and you will find that bugs and not working objects.

Let me know about suggestions how to do make work with object functional.

Long tripping update.

It's been like a few weekdays and month later, Gunner Blade features with the amazingly explosion effects, The debris pieces flew around and small exploded after being shot the enemy ships, Earlier build enemies ship having a pathway movement behaviors, Various things new sprites sizes than the large one from previous build.

A new loading animation screen with the yellow one of helicopter (ParvizLink gave me idea) only seen with the prototype build and past the alpha version.

Among with the scrolling coins but non-dropping coins, Resembles like Vanguard Ace and Raiden Tred for SNES.

The prototype version build might be more pathway behaviors of enemies ship and obstacles can be make the ground attack themes were development in the Gunner Blade.
