Just wanted to make a quick note, Aster Blaster HS has been updated to include a near finished classic mode and an actual title screen:
<img src="http://www.martincrownover.com/files/ab/ab4.jpg">Check it out, and please let me know what you think! I have a few questions on the actual description that should be considered as well, but you don't have to answer that if you don't want to. The link to the game is <a href="http://64digits.com/games/index.php?cmd=view_game&id=1189">here</a>. Thanks!
Whoops forgot to add: Having said that, I'm still going to look forward to seeing the finished version.
I LOVED the entrance/exits for the levels. That has got to be among one of the coolest game maker game effects I have layed eyes upon. the gameplay isnt exactly brilliant, but the graphics carry it well anyway, and it was meant to be a classic shooter after all. My main gripe is with the controls; Shift is annoying to shoot with because of Sticky Keys, and on this laptop at least (probably not elsewhere) shift was too close to the arrow keys so I coulded put my hand on the spacebar right.
You can turn off sticky keys, when the little thing comes up go to settings =)
and in the sticky key settings turn off shortcut keyI know, but you cant expect your average user to have done or know how to do that… But it looks like Fredfredrickson was going to change the configuration anyway.
The screenshot looks amazing. Are you plannning on finishing it?
