[_] Game dev Anon 3043969 Forgot to post last week, oops. This is a shit clone, maybe someday it wont be. Arrow to move, x to bullet, and c for special. Only the top 2 planes are different, and only the top left has a special. Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 3043974 >># I've been playing theese alphas of yours as they showed up on here, and I must say that this is beginning to look very promising. Keep up the good work anon!
>> [_] Anon 3043975 So it's luftrauser?
>> [_] Anon 3043980 >># You need to stop the enemy planes crashing into the ocean. Skimming along the surface of the water means 100% of the planes will crash into the opean and die.
>> [_] Anon 3043985 >># we have collisions with boats turned off in these versions because we're implementing boat/battleship features and it's just more convenient to have them off for that right now. With boat collision in the game, and the other enemies we plan on adding creating pressure that isn't just from the planes, it will become less and less of a dominant strategy and more of something that's beneficial to do every once in a while.
>> [_] Anon 3043990 >># When boats die in one hit from the railgun ship, boat collision isn't a problem currently.
>> [_] Anon 3043992 >># Sniper plane is in a pretty crude state.
>> [_] Anon 3043995 >># It's pretty damn fun to wipe out an entire enemy squadron in one shot, though. Same with enemy boats.
>> [_] Anon 3043996 >># focus is elsewhere right now. that plane is mostly in the game (for me, anyways) because i'm trying to create systems where multiple planes and their different weapons/properties need to easily fit into them when we actually finish them, so having another plane that just does something different at all is useful for making sure it's all working. e.g "oh, okay, this new feature is working for the basic plane, but when I try to adopt it to player planes in general does it work?" -> test it with the sniper plane instead. also i enjoy autistically watching all the boat explosions at once and it's useful to have a plane that just mows enemies down for when i'm testing shit like how many enemies of a certain type i can have on screen before we see performance issues.

>> [_] Anon 3044007 >># You lie, the railgun also has a special. It is able to kill enemies fast enough to survive their absurd spawn rate without having to trick them into crashing. Also, you don't seem to have much HP which makes taking more than one or two hits basically guaranteed death.
>> [_] Anon 3044010 >># In this version you can tweak the rate at which enemies spawn using the input on the "Enemy Trickle" button in the debug menu. The buttons on the right determine what spawns in each waves. It's a poor excuse for a proper difficulty curve of enemies spawning and the like, but it seemed useless to meticulously design that only for us to add more enemies later and have to redesign it again, so this is a stop-gap of sorts. That's why our focus is on enemies for the moment, since we'd like to get to a point for it to be playable for one plane rather than unplayable for many planes. Like in luftrausers, not shooting makes you regenerate HP after a short delay. Forgot to mention that in the OP.
>> [_] Anon 3044015 If you take your plane and fly touching the surface of the water and fly to the right while shooting, then you will never take damage. You will destroy all boats before you run into them and all enemy planes will fly into the water killing themselves in an attempt to pursue you.
>> [_] Anon 3044020 i personally find the rotation is WAY too fast. consider a rotation speed option?
>> [_] Anon 3044023 >># >just stealing assets from luftrauser gg anon
>> [_] Anon 3044044 >># Yeah, goddamn OP, the bullets look exactly identical, they're circular bullets just like in luftrauser!
>> [_] Anon 3044066 >># Get rid of the timer at the start.
>> [_] Anon 3044070 >># Are u trolling? Have u ever played luftrauser? This is literally just a rip of luftrausers free flash version. Literally only 3 changes I noticed.
>> [_] Anon 3044074 >mfw its fucking luftrausers
>> [_] Anon 3044104 So why is Luftrausers being remade? I thought the original was pretty good and covered it all. Including laserplanes?
>> [_] Anon 3044117 there is absolutely no reason for OP to NOT "remake Luftrauser", seems like a fun project for gamedev
>> [_] Anon 3044123 >># Or he could come up with a new idea, instead of just copying over someone else's work.
>> [_] Anon 3044132 >># You come up with a new idea when you're ready to make a game. You make clones and simple bullshit when you're still learning. Making your passion project your first project is a good way to screw up everything.
