Galaga type game

Again, since I don't have my own blog yet...

I think my next game project will probably be a Galaga type game. That is, a space shooter with a simple starfield background, tight keyboard controls, and ships that have interesting movements. I don't feel any Mac games have really gotten this genre right. I hear from Psychotronic that Kaijin is popular, but I don't understand why. The game feels so weird to me.

Anyway, I know many Midnight Mansion players may have no interest in a "twitch" shooter, but I'll be making it for *me*, to do something that *I* want to work on and play. As a nice simple game project that will be a break from things like Midnight Mansion, where I have to deal with legacy code, legacy resources, etc. And a break from a project I started last summer, which was a casual game that I hope to finish some day, but it was hard to work on because I don't really enjoy casual games myself. Tongue

Psychotronic may end up being an alpha tester for this game too, because he also likes twitch shooters like Galaga.

It would be cool if the main character could get in a vehicle and drive it. Would it have a map editor? Could you make custom art? I didn't really understand what a Galaga type game is. But one thing: Shooter game, I'd want to buy it!

The closest thing on Mac right now is probably Titan Attacks, from Puppy Games. There's a demo of that available. Galaga-style shooters are games where you control a space ship that can move left and right on the bottom of the screen, and shoot up at formations of enemies that are attacking you from above. Like Space Invaders, but usually with more swooping.

@Wingy: I think you're thinking of games like Metal Slug and Contra, or your own Ted game. Galaga was a classic spaceship shooter.

Espesially wingy's idea of a map editor... I love making things in games, that's usually half the fun for me!!!
