I agree with you, I'd love to be able to put in co-op and head-to-head multiplayer. The main problem is that it would definitely be a significant amount of new code and time, but it's one of those big items that I'd really like to put into a future version if the game does well enough to warrant a sequel. =)
With or without multiplayer, I'll still buy this as soon as I can! Any release date? I hope it doesnt come out mid-July as I'm on a cruse and wifi is like 1 USD per minute!
I have not finished all the levels yet. The way the levels are going to work, they are partially scripted and partially auto-generated. Fully scripting 50 levels would take way too long unless I had someone just doing that full time. =) In any case, I plan to do a Beta soon, even if it's with only some of the levels done. On the question of release date, the goal is end of July. It's possible it might slip into August. It's tough when my day job keeps trying to reach out into my nights and weekends as well. =D
As soon as I decide to start doing the beta I'll post here and give you guys a chance to play the game first.
What skills would one need to script the rest of the levels...like good story writing skills or...? These are my skills: Numchuk Bowstaff Drawing Coach Potatoing mw2-ing Playing videogames-ing Beta Testing-ing Ninja Moves On a serious note however if you need someone to write a the story for the rest of the levels I would like to help
Alien Space Beta is coming! I'm planning to do a limited closed beta starting within a week (or 2 at most). Please PM me if you are interested with: -name -email address -device type (i.e. iPod Touch 2nd gen) -device OS version -device ID (UDID) Preference will be given to those who have posted on this forum before. I'll post here again once I've reached the limit of people for the beta test. I will also PM you back letting you know if you got in or not, but it may take a few days... there's just one of me to go around. =)
I think I can take like a couple more people to test the game, so... lets say the next 2 to PM me their info will get in. Again, I really appreciate all the interest in the game. I guess we'll find out soon what the beta testers think of it.
