Blazing Guns - new Amiga game progress and updates
 

Evening all,

Although we did not think we can make it, we have managed to show a first, very early version of Blazing Guns. This game is not yet playable but the first version shows quite a few features of the engine and some basic concepts.

The game will work on A1000 z 0.5MB but at this moment AGA 030 HDD is recommended.

I am responsible for the gfx and asman is coding this game in asm. All comments and criticism is always welcome:)

Very cool and super promising !!!

Smooth animation!

Looking good! The only thing I'd suggest from those screenshots, is to make the jumps a little more in an arc than so straight, if possible.

Exciting as hell!!!

Looking good ;)

Jigen Daisuke, is that you? :)

Cool. I like the main character; he's a cool gunslinger.
Does he have a name yet? I'm sure I could a cool name for him. Does his gun have a name?

Ulysses Croft, or just "Croft" for the main player character.
"Grave" for the gun.

He'll plunder your heart, he'll put you six feet under,
In a moment he'll rip you world asunder.

Exactly my thought. =)

Yes, the same for me... probably it is for the hat... ;)

Very nice and promising, keep it up! :great

This game could be interesting :) You have my attention.

can never have too much run and gun, not enough of it on Amiga thats for sure:)

Very nice!

What system is that running on?

recorded on winuae but requires only a500 ocs:) 100% assembly code.

I am still not sure about the genre of this game :confused Shoot everything on screen and proceed to next one?

well, more or less, yes.

Little update to aszu update.

Lowest requirments: A500 with 1mb CHIP.

This version is not even an early alfa version, contains a lot of bugs.
