Thanks for the comments! We really appreciate those! Anyhow, I would love to give you an update on what we've improved since last time. We have been really busy sorting a lot of game mechanics and also have been really busy with improving some 'final' graphics that will actually be used in game. The screens we've showed so far were early concept artworks which give a basic idea of the game look and feel. We have finalised the graphics for the main character sprite. Also we have finished one planet to use in our development to sort out the controls and feel you have while playing with the base gameplay mechanic and how the character responds to that. Here are some before and after images of how the graphics were in the concept art and how they will be in the final game. And yes, the whole game will be hand-drawn! We would love to share you more of our progress when the time comes, and as soon as we have a first video/teaser/trailer we will show you as soon as we can!
Today we want to show you the teaser video we’ve made. Its short and probably leaves you with all kind of questions. If so, we did our job well Fun fact: It took us 6 hours to create this 20 seconds video. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
We have made quite some progress on our game. That is why we decided to make another Teaser Trailer! This one actually shows a demo level. So you can get the feeling what this game will be all about! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
We now have cannons! Every game needs atleast one cannon right? I'll record a video of it action as soon as I've got some spare time. The cannon has a quirky animation load and shoot animation and some nice particles I want to show you. In the meantime checkout this screenshot:
