`06.Jan.2024`	Preview video: Hyperborea (Resurrected) #2 Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener is in the process of continuing "Hyperborea", a project started four years ago and interrupted in the meantime (YouTube videos) (amiga-news.de reported). Technically, the game is as good as finished. Changes compared to the first preview video: spread shot: fully loaded :) Each player can now throw up to 36 laser-streaks on the enemies. muzzle flash collision handling player vs. bullets and floating enemies smart bomb: if you're about to die it will be activated automatically, unless your bomb stock is empty, of course. While the bomb is active, enemy hitpoints are constantly drained, bullets are canceled and you're invulnerable. Note: for the video I always keep the 2nd player's bomb stock at 0. This is simply because otherwise it would constantly bomb if hit and make the video much less interesting :P removed dummy test explosions on enemy hit: instead a dedicated hit sound is played. Maybe I'll add some sparks later. optional bullet canceling on enemy hit: when the enemy is destroyed then all of the bullets that were spawned by it are canceled. extremely optimized player-gun vs. enemies algorithm optional craters for ground enemies and test turrets: those craters got their own dedicated rendering system. some well-known floating popcorn enemies ;) Many enemies are taken from Torben's earlier work "Battle Squadron" for the time being. There are also a few placeholders (e.g. for the music or crater gfx). (dr) [News message: 06. Jan. 2024, 10:40] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
