Blaze is a retro/minimalistic styled sci-fi first person flight/shooter action game. The game can be played almost single handedly with just mouse. It's about shooting a lot of alien things (in semi-randomized missions?). The alien things are trying capture all your base, and have already captured at least half of it. You have to defend the base and capture the alien controlled areas back. Or something like that...
I thought maybe it's easier to draw sprites for a 2D top down game. So I'll only need to draw the sprites from one direction.
At the moment there's a triangle that can be controlled and moved in 8 directions + jump, and shoot small squares.
I haven't completely decided on the movement. It could have controls like in FPS games.. WS: forward/backward, AD: strafe left/right and mouse for aiming/rotating the player, maybe the camera rotates too. Or 8 direction movement, but mouse can aim a crosshair anywhere, bullets/stuff would fly toward it.
You can try it here: Koti.mbnet.fi
Controls:
S = spawn player
X = destroy player
A = shoot stuff
Arrow keys = move player
While it now looks like it might be some spaceship game.. that doesn't mean it would be a spaceship game, but it could be...
The legend tells it used to be a full 3D FPS.
Heh, I think there could be some amount of 3D.. floors could be on different heights.
