RESHOOT R in development

buzzybee · 16 February 2017, 11:18

Hi to all Amigans out there!

I hope you all don´t mind if I draw your attention towards a new game in development for non-expanded AGA-Hardware. The game is called RESHOOT R and it, as some of you might have guessed already, builds up on my game RESHOOT released in August 2016.

RESHOOT R remains a horizontal scrolling shoot´em-up, yes. But I will alter almost everything else. It´s going be much more colorful and much louder, will contain a extra weapons system and will not even show you a game-over-message after one hit from an enemy bullet. All in all I´m aiming for improved experience visually, aurally and of course gameplay-wise.

Who is involved?

Organisation, Design, Coding – Richard Lowenstein (Twinky goes hiking, Persian Gulf Inferno ...)
Pixels – Kevin Saunders (Amiga-conversion of Rygar)
Audio – Altraz (famous DJ and scenemusician)

I´ve started developing RESHOOT R right after the release of RESHOOT and target a digital and CD-ROM release end of october at the Amiga32 show in Neuss / Germany. Want to play RESHOOT R and talk to me about the game mechanics or technical details? Then be at gamescom in August 2017! Also expect a video pretty soon, followed by a technical demo in spring or early summer.

If anyone considers supporting the development process by spending tiny amounts of money on my Patreon-website, that would be much appreciated. This is also the central place to get information and regular updates right from the development process.

Sounds great!

On to the fast tunnel idea. Well, it just has to be properly implemented and not be overly difficult and it'll provide a nice rush of adrenaline imo.

Neil79 · 17 February 2017, 01:16

Put this up on our site a few days ago

Hope they changed the music!

Adrian Browne · 17 February 2017, 03:33

looks good.

buzzybee · 17 February 2017, 07:03

@Neil79: The music is Soundtracker-based this time. A nice fast dancefloor medley mixed with soundeffects which go oooomph.

@Adrian: Thanks a lot.

@Vulture: That´s exactly true. But if just the scrolling speeds up and the game sends you through a basic tunnel like structure for no reason, that´s simply not enough. There has to be more ... I´ve got a nice idea for a nice additional adrenalinerush. Let´s see if there are sufficent ressources to implement it. :-)

Honestly the first Reshoot didn't really excite me much. But this sequel really looks quite nice so far.

ransom1122 · 17 February 2017, 07:42

Ooh WOW, Looks like you have been a buzzy bee! Very nice features you have implemented.

Thanks for sharing.

Wishing the best for this development !!! Looking tasty allready

RESHOOT R is coming in very nicely. I just redesigned the Patreon website, where anyone may support the developers by spending a few bucks. Please consider having a look by clicking here. Thank you very much!

A first music teaser video also just went live. [ Show youtube player ] and enjoy!

Neil79 · 10 March 2017, 18:21

That's so much better!

Amiga1992 · 10 March 2017, 18:37

Kick ass tune! Who is on board making audio for R?
[edit] I'm a moron, didn't see credits at end of the video :P
What other Amiga music has ALtraz done? Interested.

Looks better and sound much better than the previous one ;-)

Reshoot's tune wasn't bad, just maybe not fitting!
I hope Reshoot R has more than one tune.

buzzybee · 13 March 2017, 02:26

RESHOOT R will at least have two tunes: title and game. :-)

buzzybee · 21 March 2017, 19:29

RESHOOT R had its first public showing last weekend. Expect a video of the World Premiere soon. My fellow Patreon supporters will be the first to see the game. For more info may I invite you to click here ?

Overflow · 22 March 2017, 02:09

Looking forward to the video!

Hopefully the sales of Reshoot R (whenever its done) will encourage future developments. I see you quote 1200 manhours to complete a very slick game on what amounts to a hobby platform. Impressive dedication!

Gamedevelopment for the classic seems to have increased the last year, which is very encouraging.

buzzybee · 22 March 2017, 04:20

Some aspects encourage to work on RESHOOT R, but it´s not the current state of my Patreon-campaign and the sales of the predecessor RESHOOT unfortunately. I hope the Patreon-campaign takes off after people have seen the first one or two videos. I would love to do so much with RESHOOT R, but some of these ideas need prefinancing.

Gzegzolka · 22 March 2017, 05:43

It looks much more better than first game. I hope You will make it!

Overflow · 26 March 2017, 11:10

I just checked out your World Premier showing of Reshoot R

It looks very slick, and promising for what is to come as development progresses.
I have one suggestion tho;

When you present the game on future shows, maybe also include a premade demo/video with more powerups and action on screen? The demostration you showed is really all I need to see that the game engine is solid, but singlebullet mode is a bit ...bland? People are kinda biased towards

when they get laz0rs, and a multitude of powerup configs.

I think you know what Im trying to say.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing, and hopefully more people joins in supporting the development!
