<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Would be cool if there was scroller game like this that looked for and used any extra shipsets in your malfador/se4/pictures/races folder. It could read the AI_general file as well for hints on how each race should behave and how mean they are, for example:

-races which take attack bonuses have more accurate weapons.
-ones which take defensive bonuses dodge around a lot and are harder to hit.
-Races that take construction bonuses would appear in swarms.
-Organic, crystalline weapons etc for those races that take them... this would be really cool.

And yeah, I'd love to see Druk-man. Waka waka waka waka...

yeah, 'Druk-Man' that was what i was looking for...couldn't remember, thanks dogscoff.

also if i had any idea of todays programming... it can't be too hard to make a game of P(h)ong.

How about a Space Empires mod for Dungeon Odyssey, where you can play a character in the Space Empires universe and encounter all the aliens from SE4?

Re: SE scrolling shooter game
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">well, that has been proposed many times. I am not sure, if anybody actually started this. As it is the modding community for DO is very quiet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . AFAIK there is only one custom mod released and that one isn't even very good...

back on topic: I just 'accidently' discovered that your ship can not only move right-left, but also forward-back. Well, that makes evading those shots a lot easier...
voila, new personal best: 2935 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I just learnt now that you can fly up and down, thanks rollo!
Be seeing you

Re: SE scrolling shooter game
 

Okay,

I added a high score screen that will let you put in a name. So, let the games begin. I'll add the file to the mod forum shortly, just overwrite the old exe.

Re: SE scrolling shooter game
 

I just got a new best for me. 3325. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: SE scrolling shooter game
 

Okay,

As per Dogscoff's request, I have done a Drushoka Pac-man game. I'll be uploading it shortly, just use the arrow keys to move the Drushoka around.

As far as the next game goes....I think I'm going to move on to something a little more complex and less spoofish.

In the meantime, enjoy.

DRUSHOCKA MAN! YAY!

WOKA WOKA WOKA WOKA WOKA WOKA WOKA

have the Eee, be EEEvil, and turn into EEE, when you eat the mega pellet thing lol.

For the next game, if you dont mind my suggestions, try a side scroller game in the fashion of your first, with the player using a ship (you can customise the graphics idealy) and bLasting away alien (Xi'chung perhaps?) filth! Make it in the style of R-type and other side scrolling shooters.

Id recommend making all the graphics moddable if possible, just to fill our need for different targets lol.

Just some ideas, probably bad ones too...
