Xalaga

-PSP Application

I can do most of the gfx...i'm very busy working on an os so i need probably one to two more gfx people.

I need one lua coder, or c++ if you want to do it in c.

Specs are:

-First version will have 10 levels, a boss every 5...so two bosses in the first version.

-Will need to be able to shoot a laser.

-Enemys will need to explode, with minimal animation.

So far i have made a ship and copied an asteroid picture.

email is nytrixpsp@gmail.com

If you somehow get this running, I will give you fve points!!! But since im not premium... Well, its the thought that counts, right...?

Noriyuke · 12-04-2005, 06:06 PM

Thats kinda cool i guess, but really if you have other projects finish the ones you have before something liek this gets made, its rirdiculous seeing so many projects getting scrapped, and we have to many games of that style coming out as is. and Namco Museum already has a great galaga and that remake.

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 01:05 AM

lol the namco one made me want to make my own, and i need a break from my other projects anyways.

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 07:35 AM

i decided to make it a little different because of the other galaga remake that was just released.

it will now be a side scroller.

**MetalHeadZaid** · 12-05-2005, 07:37 AM

Galaga rocks. Thanks for the fun.

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 07:37 AM

great! welcome to the Xalaga team.
i made a spaceship and a asteroid so far, but id like to see your version. so can you please start by making those? thanks
you can post them here or you can email them to me, its up to you.
thanks

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 09:14 AM

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 09:21 AM

great work! kills mine, im not very good at smaller stuff. lol
ill get to work on a menu.
and if u want to start on the rest of them and the two bosses, that would be great.

were still in need of a lua coder

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 10:02 AM

What should the bosses looklike? Just evil-er/bigger versions of the normal enemies?

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 11:32 AM

i'll leave that up to you, whichever looks best. heck you can make both of em if u want.
thanks

Noriyuke · 12-05-2005, 12:06 PM

Alright, i wouldnt mind helping out with ideas for levels / bosses etc. and i could do some minor Lua. Ask Xigency, im great for ideas.

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 12:19 PM

ok, sounds good! do you think you know enough lua to code this?
post thoughts and ideas here

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 12:53 PM

Ok Noriyke.. are you good enough of a coder so I could make the bosses into segments that you can move (like limbs or a gun) for attacks and stuff or should I make an animation for them?

Also for the moment I have my images I'm working on saved as PNG. Is that cool? Also with Backgrounds/leves should I make a starfield that is animated or can I make a "blank" space and add in stars that I make seperate with some sort of random particle effect? How does the collision dection work? should I try to make ememies more squareish or do you have more abstract edges to work with? The more information I have the better I can do this, because the sample I made is below the standard I would like to set visiualy because they were just that, a sample, so I need imput to produce more finished and nicer images. Should I go a little bigger also or no?

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 01:45 PM

Also depending on how long this takes to make I'll be willing to learn LUA. My semster is almost over and I'll have a lot more time for progects before my classes pick up again.

well i would say with my knowledge that save them as png is fine.
animated = yes..within the png.

space with a particle effect = definetely yes,

...png also if u can.

ship a bit bigger and maybe a bit more rounded for the rocket engine.

make the enemies as 3d as you can...it will look cooler...along with the ship..3d.

also the ship starts off with a laser in the first 5 levels..and then after the first boss he gets rockets.

thanks

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 04:58 PM

Ok cool I can do all that... not too sure on the animation within png... I know I've seen it just like lined up in the image, but is there any more to that or is that it?

And with the bg/stars. can the background like scroll and loop and the stars be generated or should the BG also be like the animation for the sprites?

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 06:32 PM

try to make an animated background in photoshop with png (if possible..i havent tried this before) and when we get to coding we'll have it loop...so it'll look descently random.

also have you done any more sprites?..or edited the current ones?
if you have i'd like to see them...email to nytrixpsp@gmail.com

thanks

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 06:35 PM

So should I email everything to you from now on or can I still post here or both? I like feed back from multiple people. I've been doing sketches of what I think everything should look like, the actual sprites take a bit longer but I'll get them too you as soon as I can.

whatever you want posted here you can still post...but i wouldnt reccomend posting all of it here...it could possibly get ripped off..or the idea.

thanks

ps..it's up to you

**z357x** · 12-05-2005, 06:55 PM

alright cool. Only samples, not the complete sprites.

**Nytrix** · 12-05-2005, 07:02 PM

ok sounds good

Noriyuke · 12-06-2005, 01:26 PM

Yea, im not that great in lua yet, the best thing i can do right now is work on a good menu, controls and major bug fixing, apart from that i suck :-( Ill talk to you guys on aim later today and tonight.

**Nytrix** · 12-06-2005, 02:22 PM

ok do you know my aim?

Noriyuke · 12-06-2005, 02:44 PM

Got your aim and ive spoekn with both of you, hope this works out well.

**Nytrix** · 12-06-2005, 05:44 PM

Heres the menu.

ok you can work on the menu..i posted the menu pic above...so u can get the coordinates.

**Nytrix** · 12-07-2005, 05:14 PM

i removed the psp from the menu..xalaga is now bigger also.
the buttons have not changed coords

**elevationsnow** · 12-07-2005, 06:38 PM

ill code but i do c/c++ so i dont know if you care

p.s. animations i would do by a series of pngs

also i dont think pngs are animationable << i made that word up

so for an animation each frame would be a diff png
