First public release of a demo of my first "original" game.

Posted by on

Welcome to my game's page! I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to check it out. Protostriker M is a game that I've been working on in my spare time for...quite awhile now. I don't have a WHOLE lot of spare time, and the whole thing has been a learning process for me so it's taking me a good amount of time to make progress. However! I finally have something presentable, a short one level demo. This is the first public release of my first "original" game. By "original", I mean not an exact clone of a game done for learning purposes, as the game itself isn't very innovative, but that's kind of the point =D

At this point, I have most, if not all, of the code written, so it's just a matter of creating content. I plan to add five more levels in addition to the one in the demo. I do have more weapons and enemy types finished, but I didn't want to give it all away in the first level ;)

You may be thinking, "Hey, this says it's for Linux too! Where's the Linux demo!" Well, I'm working on it. The game runs on Linux right now, but I still have a few issues to iron out, such as audio not playing, before I release it. But I promise it's coming!

When all is said and done, I plan to release the full version of the game for free, because who doesn't like free games? Again, thanks for stopping by!
