Phoenixan: Fire Under Siege - CD Cover

[Hunchman801]

It looks like new sprites were added ^^ Well, I am happy to know that the game is still under development and I hope the test level is available soon ^^

[Phoenixan]

I'll post it as soon as the two 512 Mb RAM sticks I ordered arrive... maybe... I got my computer overheats fixed at least. All I have to do afterwards is just finish all the new Phoenixan sprites.

[Phoenixan]

Well, I do have a new lum sprite out now, which is built using the game's lighting engine. I stopped using GearGOD's luminaire and built my own with the help of someone on 64Digits. Looks just as good, but it works on slower computers a lot better.

[Hunchman801]

It looks very nice, but it is not animated...

[Phoenixan]

Well, I can get an animation. All it is is two frames that cycle at 30 fps.

[Hunchman801]

I think this is enough for a lums. You will never be finished if you create 100 frames per item

[Phoenixan]

Yeah.. So far, my largest animation is just 15 frames.

[MrBadGuy]

Woo! Great game you got there Ryan. I really enjoyed the demo.
You've done really well. Good luck finishing it

[Phoenixan]

I decided to update the first post since those screenshots were... old. o_o XD I have the full version's story posted on the first page too.

[Hunchman801]

The map is awesome, but I cannot download the demo... Congratulations anyway

^^
It's still the same old demo though, in case you don't know.

*edit*

Oh, and I recorded one of the songs.. as it plays in the game.. doesn't quite sound the same as really hearing it, but you get the idea.

Quite amazing, Phoenixian. The enemies are a bit dumb but I have to congratulate you! I hope you keep on improving it

[#Rubber mark#]

I wonder how you could do this... But I do not like being insulted when I die

[Hunchman801]

I cleared the Rintu Caverns. That barrel boss was not so easy to defeat, but I was able to prevent it from summoning pirates and having stalactites falling =)
By the way, there is an annoying glitch with the moving platforms with stalactites under them, cause if you jump when they are moving up, you get wounded.

[Phoenixan]

Yeah.. I cleared that up in the final too.. ^^ It's because I used this simple thing where it was like... "if phoenixan.y < platform.y{ }" But it's changed now to where I just use this second collision mask for the platform.

I did a record of one of the songs in the game.. It's pretty quiet though, so you'll have to turn your speaker volume up more probably. I couldn't just post the actual file as it's in a music module format, which you can only play in Winamp and hardly anything else.

Oh, and Kelvin11 helped out by making a few sprites. I'm recruiting for the Fire Under Siege board on ROSAF by the way. It's in my siggy and on the first page. I've been rather inactive lately, so sorry to those that signed up and it took me more than 3 days to validate. I'm checking on every day at least once again though.




I do some sketches by request too and post them on the boards.

Amazing, but I cannot access the level after the Rintu Caverns

[Phoenixan]

Yeah.. ^^; I kind of forgot to put an "End of Demo" message there... ^^;

[Reese Riverson]

Is there a chance of you making a New Demo?

[Phoenixan]

All I can say is.. Maybe.
