r0x (Extended Play) - Single or multiplayer shmup/avoid-em-up hybrid (ETA late June)

[rgcd]

Official thread is here.

Hey there Ouya peeps, last week a friend and I took some time off work, bought GameMaker Studio pro (and the Android export module) and began work on a simple game project. It's actually a remake of an Atari STE game RGCD released back in 2009, and this is where we are 10 days in:



I actually used GameMaker quite a bit back in 2010, but it's still been quite a learning curve, so this is a nice warm up project and will provide a framework for 'more serious' games later. The 'EP' postfix is due to the game featuring six tracks by Amiga protracker guru h0ffman which you can flick through whilst playing like on a record (the game is a collaborative work with his label).

This video is just a quick example of the single player arcade mode, but it is very much WIP - four-person multiplayer is a lot more chaotic!

The game will be released in the wild compo category at the Sundown demoparty next month, and will of course be entirely free.
