Arcadium [ 2011 Project ] - Developers

This is weird. When ever I am killing the enemies my fire rate gets faster but after a couple kills it slows down. Then I get the 2 bullet upgrade. Is it suppose to do this? The slow down before the 2 bullet upgrade I mean.

I thought it was just a frame rate problem.

Lol I'm trying to remake this and it's not turning out the best but definitely not the worst: [img_thumb]http://i45.tinypic.com/28vddhx.jpg[/img_thumb]

I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. It's just a little demo. Wait until you have a full game, THEN email valve.

[QUOTE=Joshyy;22209264]In their FAQ, says we can send them the demo for feedback. So I did, whilst inquiring about Steamworks.[/QUOTE] Well in that case, good luck.

[QUOTE=geel9;22209614]Well in that case, good luck.[/QUOTE] Thanks. I'm going to rewrite a fair bit of the engine so I can integrate RakNet and ( hopefully ) Steamworks.

I hear arcadium and I nostalgia. Anyone who knows why probably did too.

this is awesome! add multiplayer modes, and i'd definitely buy it for ~$5. keep up the good work!

This is great, good work.

Chargers should have small lines on their sides instead of one large on on the front.

[QUOTE=Jawalt;22217844]Chargers should have small lines on their sides instead of one large on on the front.[/QUOTE] I'll change the design around next update, as I need to go out today. Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.

Amazing game! I'm hoping to see online highscores in the next versions. Great design, I like the difficulty. And if you need any music, I can do that.

Arrow keys don't change selection at the menu

[QUOTE=raccoon12;22232259]Arrow keys don't change selection at the menu[/QUOTE] They should in the latest download. I'm pretty sure I changed it to check for both.

Works for me

[QUOTE=Darwin226;22243856]Works for me[/QUOTE] He has an outdated version then.

Yeah, sorry about that

[QUOTE=raccoon12;22244401]Yeah, sorry about that[/QUOTE] It's all good.

Is that the music from One Must Fall? Love the gameplay btw, might want to rethink the main menu though - bright green vs white makes it hard to tell what you have selected.

[QUOTE=Joshyy;22248576]Why yes, yes it is. [editline]01:06PM[/editline] As I mentioned previously, i'm going to do a huge overhaul of the engine.[/QUOTE] Let me correct you. If you do a huge overhaul of the engine, great. However, if you do it CORRECTLY, then the player notices nothing aside from NEW things you've added, like particles. You're talking about the game here.

Don't try to correct me if you have no idea.

[QUOTE=Joshyy;22274397]No, i'm talking about the engine. Don't try to correct me if you have no idea.[/QUOTE] An overhaul of the engine would be changing the way it draws things to make it use less power, NOT changing the UI.

[QUOTE=geel9;22275052]An overhaul of the engine would be changing the way it draws things to make it use less power, NOT changing the UI.[/QUOTE] Engine -> UI -> Game I'm changing the way the Engine draws everything, hence making the menu change. I'm adding RakNet support too.

If you make this multiplayer/COOP i will sure buy it. It will be fucking amazing with Multiplayer.

Geel's actually correct; an "engine", however you define it, in no way answers how the program looks, ie you might make a way to draw text, but you still have to choose where to draw the text, what size it will be, what color, and size. The engine merely sets up what you [b]can[/b] do, what you actually do is very different.

I stated "Yeah i'll change the menu", but I also stated "I'm doing an overhaul of the engine to fit Networking"

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;22248353] might want to rethink the main menu though - bright green vs white makes it hard to tell what you have selected.[/QUOTE] suggestion: change menu colors [QUOTE=Joshyy;22248576]As I mentioned previously, i'm going to do a huge overhaul of the engine.[/QUOTE] response: I'm going to update the engine menu colors != engine Probably just a miscommunication, but you lashed out at the guy who was legitimately correcting your language/ understanding, which isn't nice.
