A simple game using nGENE

In one of the last posts I mentioned that I'm making a small game using nGENE Tech. It's a top-down scroll shooter (I said it's simple, didn't I :) ?). Currently there is some gameplay, now I'm working on the graphics, adding more weapons, power-ups and enemies, adding sound, GUI etc. What I'm trying to achieve is to use as many of the features as possible thus showing them. I don't mean all those fancy effects I implemented to now but rather usage of different modules ;)

Here's a short video from an early version:


It's really an early version, I'm working on it only 1 to 3 hours a day but there are many a days when I'm not coding a single line as I do a lot of photography related things recently (just discovered real power of Flickr you know :) ) but it's a real fun to code even the simplest game.

  1. Nice starts for this demo! :)
    You should add dynamic lights on explosion events. Thus it will light up your ship and ground.
