Re: [Audyssey] two Asteroids style games
Does this asteroid style of game also contain the random concept where you have to pick up a random item to aid you in your adventure before the item vaporizes? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dark Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 4:54 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] two Asteroids style games The description of Torrent actually reminded me quite a lot of Galaxians, perhaps even more than asteroids, sinse it seemed to feature dodging of enemies rather than just shooting them down, a rap around scrolling effect, and accelleration and deceleration. the right upp on surrealist horizons also appeared to hint that alien ships firing at you would be more common than in the original asteroids game as well.

Imho seeing audio remakes move away from standard space invaders and explore some of these similar in style, yet different in execution games is a welcome change, and Imho multiple game developers' approaches to this style would be a good thing.

[Audyssey] two Asteroids style games
This is a most interesting development. I was quite impressed with the sound demonstration of Torent. I'm also interested in Tom's reaction to the demo. He also is working on an Asteroids game as a tutorial and free game for people. I very much hope both of these games galvanises the gaming community and developers within it. The announcement from Surreal Horrizons gave some idea of what we're in for from that quarter. Tom has hinted that he's planning to add some twists to his Asteroids game as well. My question therefore is for Tom. Do you use a different approach in terms of basic navigation and aiming? Also, what kind of additions are you planning for your free Asteroids? Alien Outback and Troopanum shows clearly that there is more than one way to approach a basic classic arcade game. I assume both games are going to take a while to complete.
