About the story, you should include some awesome greek-byzantine words to make it extra lulzy :P . You've got plenty to work with in the byzantine christian controversies about the Monophisism and Iconoclasm. PM me if you want me to look for this kind of words for your story since I doubt you'd want to read walls of religious texts like this. :idea:

If I was allowed to vote, I'd really vote for "no slowdowns" but then again I hate slowdowns with a passion. :P

Very rough start on blending the two different games ALL GRAPHICS ARE WIP.

its more of a shump btw.... but some "action" rpg elements/allusions . And a batshit crazy story,


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aSq8lEGMF0

be more like pacman tbh , not a huge and sprawling adventure but more punchy, arcadey, with the illusion its big down to a fleshed out universe.
Collect stuff in the real world to clear a location (starting in the outskirts then going to the big city).. all battling is in shmup mode, ould even have the girl flying about, but thats a bit too obvious/cliche..dunno

Havnt worked out what lvling up will do in the real world.

It looks like the guardian legend for NES. Its a good template to utilize, as long as you keep the shooting levels solid and the action adventure sections less boring...

umm... doesnt quite look the way i promised .. :oops:

but heres a new wip , very early , scorings a bit broken . OH resize the screen, its not brain surgery, you can do it :wink: .

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84483952/uriel ... %201.4.rar


Collect the diseased locals and avoid the lighting, but if you do hit them, you go into shmup mode that just gets more and more intense.
This is where you level up. On leveling up it affects the spawn rates and speeds in the walking game.
When the timer goes down the game just shuts off atm.
If you collect 10 locals you win (that level at least)

two buttons shoot and your scan purify (z,x) a and x on a 360 controller.
There is a tiny hit box.

You can only realy complete it once atm, sort of breaks..

thinking more of a modern take on minesweeper (lol) with shmup and rpg elements, and metaphysical storytelling, has that been done ??

Ok many wont like this, but ...

"its better than minesweeper" - Dylan Barry

Alot of exposure to spaceinvaders recently has made me turn this into a bullethell clone of sorts (on the x axis), as well as being inspired by VERY early looping arcade games as well as some of systemshock 2's minigames, that themselves are clones of minekeeper and the early ultima's.

This is a ROCK hard, looping score attack, with jrpg style "random" encounters..


Ive moved back over to html5 so this is just a link to my dropbox iframe for the game.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/844 ... index.html

For those who need to know the story , which contributes to the chaos i guess.

"Guide Tabitha as she manically collects kittens to keep them safe from the lighting storm If she is struck, her crucifix “auriga crux” becomes a guardian angel that must fight off the real threat… the storm in her very soul."

If you realy dont trust my dropboxing ways, play it here http://www.kongregate.com/games/railslave/uriels-chasm

okay i tried playing it, and couldnt figure out what i was doing...
jrpg section was too random, and i think you score more in the shooting section
the shooting section is always the same and somehow looks broken impossible, too large hitboxes maybe.

i cant comment on the jrpg section (if you like, try some metroidvania games for a good template)
the shooting section, take a look at parsec47 or rRootage for some good random shooting action. (source code available for both)

Its been done, Radiant Silvergun, Hellsinker, Akashicverse... not the minesweeper part though.

thanks for the feedback, and those games look realy cool especialy parsec47... :D


The shmup bits can be done with realy subtle nudges, if you keep your nerve...still working on it all but you have the enemies coming down like space invaders at full speed with this God mouth thing just going back and forth ..
Its meant to be realy basic, like it was made in 1982 or something.
just me playing so you can see there is some method.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opi2dnXjLG8

Ok just to clarify

You have a 1 minute to score as much as you can.
The shinobi- shmup (tm) sections take place in eternity , so see how long you can last (they start slower but beware whats slowly coming down the screen!, be AFRAID).

This is :-
"minesweeper/roguelike/phantasy star" crossed with "shinobis bonus stage,space invaders, with a kill chain gauge.."

You get best points for kitten but you get the chain mutiply in the shinobishmup sections and a ton more stuff to attack.

"the android game i helped make " has realy made me realize that i value my integrity and originality far more than making ANY cash... who cares, id rather make nothing than just be a number.

This is SHMUP , dont panic, thats the most underdeveloped bit at the mo. But im thinking shinobis bonus if it was bullet hell " lite"
