Star Blitz X is a 3d first person shooter that’s homage of the 1980's and 1990's arcade light shooter genre like Duck Hunt, Time Crisis and House of The Dead. The premise is to protect the earth for one minute by using a defense tactic to position, point and shoot asteroids, missiles and laser-shape objects that are launched by the Gargon's space invasion. Failure is not an option for every ten hit from the asteroids or missiles on the Earth and it's game over.

Description

Failure is not an option for every ten hit from the asteroids or missiles on the Earth and it's game over.

History

Before forming Art Ink Studios in late of 2016, six years prior as concept artist and graphic designer as Elvis was involved with over eight indie gaming projects. The experience left a great impression on him to take a more active leading role of design and creating the idea indie game. In late December 2016 the development of the Game Design Document was form as Elvis wanted to create a simple 3D first-person shooter where the game play is fun, simple, but challenging. Classic arcade games like Duck Hunt, Galaga, Space Invader and Asteroids that he grew up with play a factor to the game design. Two months after the team is formed as Jon Gillis (Programmer) join while Pierrick Querolle (Composer and Sound FX) was added about nine months later. When the production of our first game started we didn’t want to recreate the arcade genre just to compete for the highest score, but to develop skills of quick reflex and good hand-eye coordination that rewards the player's effort that unlock multiple sequences of finishing the game. In time, new ideas and features were included like addition game mechanic, enemy setup and UI design while maintaining the homage of the 1980s and 1990s light gun shooter game play to enhance the gaming experience.
