Elimination: A New FPS

(1/52) > >>

Hot_Dog:
Before I talk about "Elimination," I should probably answer a question that will be on everyone's mind: "Hot_Dog, why are you starting yet another big project when you canceled S.A.D. and haven't finished Correlation?"

Spoiler For Spoiler: Because I'm modifying another game, not creating an entirely new one.  Modifying a game requires relatively less ASM programming and relies mostly on creating data.  While ASM proves tedious, I find creating data to be both easy and fun.
Anyways, Elimination is a modification of the FPS Gemini.  (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/247/24742.html)  It will, of course, be bigger and better than the original game, and you can look at the spoiler for features new from Gemini.

Spoiler For Spoiler:
Fullscreen!
A background sky with 360 degree rotation
Almost flickerless grayscale walls  (Don't believe what you see in the screenshots  ;D)
Requires less than 9 KB RAM!  (Sorry, it does require the extra RAM page found on 15 Mhz calculators)
A map that reveals itself as you explore the level
Many, many different worlds (terrains, walls, enemies, etc.)
Cutscenes!

Coming Shortly: A better object system so that you can see objects and enemies that are far, far away

Features yet to add (NOT hard):

Better map revealing
Secrets revealed by means other than pushing blocks
Status Messages
HUD toggling (On/Off)
Changing the plasma gun to be a small-damage, area-of-effect weapon



The game will be available for 15 Mhz calculators, as well as Nspires with 84+ keypads.

Wow I didn't realize you were actually modifying it, I was sure it was an actual full screen version of the game. That looks cool Hot Dog. Are there a lot of levels needed to be done so far or are they mostly done?

I especially like the background support. It will make it even more awesome since you can now have indoor/outdoor scenes and stuff.

By the way will the grayscale be checkered patterns like F-Zero?

Juju:
Looks pretty cool indeed :)

Eeems:
I can't wait to see more about this!
It looks great!

Kjelddy:
