A Spiritual Successor to W:A

Bitmap collision backend is taking longer than I thought, plus I was sick for the past week. Here's a neat unintended debug effect.

Also I'm trying to get a hashtag for this project going on twitter, tweet at me or something if you'd like, idk. https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Asteroidians&src=typd

Implementing a bitmap system paid off! First successful multiplayer game. Played with 3 separate people.

EDIT: Expect a public build once I fix game-breaking and application-restart-required bugs! Hype!

Yeah, interesting progress

Looks pretty good so far!

Sorry if I missed it, is it available for any of us to play? Online or offline.

Fixing game breaking bugs and I will release a public build.

Alpha release version 0.1.22 available tomorrow!
Almost had it done today but not quite!

Bamboy · December 21, 2016, 07:45 PM

BUILD AVAILABLE NOW!! https://bamboy.itch.io/asteroidians

EDIT:
It seems there are varying syncing problems from person to person. For best results, restart your game after playing.

So who wants to try this now? MSG me on TUS

Edit: Game has potential! I really like the fact you can jump and shoot zookies at the same time. Zookies have nice physics already.

Useful tip, double jump is backjump here also.

Public release v0.1.34!

Edit: Mac and Linux builds!

Bravo bamboccio

This is how easy it is to import any png file and use it as a level! (Though you probably want to add some transparency to your image, lol) Just added today.

Any color limitation? I acually hope there will be some, like 256 paletted xD

Actually imposing a color limit would be more difficult than not. While restricting colors can have a certain retro visual aesthetic, I don't see myself implementing such a system. Map creators can choose to do this themselves if they wish.

At some point I'll probably add an option to convert black pixels to transparent ones, so old user made W:A maps can still be used.
