good job cant wait for the release.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 10-30-2007, 07:11 PM

Very great job Slasher!

**SG57** · 10-31-2007, 01:44 AM

Looking great so far

A few things could be polished a little, like the flame particle effect (lasts a bit too long for the size of the player ship).

Small pet peeves really, the mechanics seem fine ^^

**Turkfather** · 10-31-2007, 08:32 AM

SlashNFlash was made pretty much specifically with 3.52 in mind....maybe you mean 3.71?
But really, is this the thread for talking about it? no.

No specific date, but I'd imagine probobly sometime soon

**Slasher** · 11-18-2007, 08:02 PM

Sorry theres been no updates recently... I'm caught up with work, and COD4 on my ps3

. I'll try and get this update rolled out asap!
My main focus right now is optimizations to the code. I want to push the PSP as far as I can, so I can get as many triangles as possible rendered with a full 60fps being maintained.

**Slasher** · 11-22-2007, 09:57 AM

K, I've updated the build to #5 now.

Jeeze, I have no idea whats changed from #4, all I can say is 'alot' has changed.
Few things off the top of my head
- Earth/moon combo
- Powerup pick-upable
- New enemy
- Map GUI
- Lots of optimizations to the code
- Tweaked some things here and there

**Slasher** · 11-29-2007, 04:35 PM

I've been working on the particle engine alot lately and have managed to get it looking waaay better than before.

Here's a video

(Doesn't do true justice)

And here's a demo.
And Asterz Build #5b (Only thing added is the new particles).

Demo of the particles
Asterz Build #5b

**ZereoX** · 11-29-2007, 07:15 PM

Nice on Slasher.Let me find my PSP and I'll try it out, I really like the progression of this.Your going really fast and these are good releases nice one.I hope I could code as well as you.

--EDIT--
I like the new Particle effect smoother less bright really cool.

**Slasher** · 12-03-2008, 02:50 PM

For anyone that remembers this, or for anyone that wants to get involved, check it out HERE. I'm starting work on this again and have already improved it quite a bit.

"I've been working like crazy for the past few days and have pretty much gutted the core code completely. I completely erased all of the weapon code and redid it from scratch, I completely redid the particle engine by using the TEDGE team-duck particle engine, I added makeshift anti-aliasing(not seen in these screenshots, so things are actually smoother and not jaggity), and I did countless other revisions to optimize things better and more efficiently. In addition to this, I've also added GU lighting so things look much more defined and better as opposed to what it used to look like."

Here's some teaser screen shots:

Come check it out HERE.

Mraellis · 12-03-2008, 03:18 PM

Looks a lot nicer at least.

**ZereoX** · 12-03-2008, 05:14 PM

Hell Ya Thanks Slasher!

**slicer4ever** · 12-03-2008, 05:35 PM

hmm, can i ask how you accomplished the smoke trail on the ships(is it generated real time, or just an image fading out?(looks like image to me, but just wanted to know)), also looks nice, very nice=-)

**niobe** · 12-03-2008, 06:01 PM

looks great

It's an image with its size, colour, and alpha value being manipulated, as most particle engines work. Doing it in real time would likely cause a lot of speed issues, especially on the psp

I'm glad it turned out really good though, I think it looks nice

**slicer4ever** · 12-03-2008, 06:24 PM

indeed, it does look nice, but it was an thought that you might have done it real time=-)

Thanks

. Keep in mind though, I haven't been working on this for the past year nonstop. More like the past week lol

**nicodemus82** · 12-06-2008, 09:49 PM

thnx for the update

**Xsjado7** · 12-06-2008, 10:19 PM

Is the ship on level 3 invincible or just have heaps of health? I've been shooting him for ages

Much like all of the other builds have been, this is an update on the progress

**Xsjado7** · 12-06-2008, 11:37 PM

Ahh, sorry. Didn't read anymore than the changelog
