Pixels In Space Suits is a multiplayer space shooter with chaos, carnage and cookies. Featuring perfect pixels by Benjamin Hartley, the concise code of Hans Wannop and a tight track by Decktonic; we will be entering a prototype in CREATE game jam and adding more spice for release day.
Well, we didn't quite get as far as we'd hoped for the CREATE deadline, but here is what we have so far. We hope you are as excited to play it as much as we are to finish it :D
Some details:
- Both being very busy, we were able to achieve what we have in a weekend and a couple of evenings.
- Ben Hartley (the artist) had never done pixel art before.
- I was new to Android dev, had never used LibGDX, and hadn't touched Java for a couple of years.
- Much more artwork has been completed than is shown in the video / game.
- The code will be released under an open source license once the game has been released, we hope it will be a useful resource for others looking to make 2D games on OUYA.
- Collision detection has been implemented (see bouncing cookies :D ) but requires a little more optimisation before we can have it turned on for bullets at 60FPS.
- The final game will feature interchangeable weapons, power ups, explosions and a cool insect ally protection mechanic.
We welcome your feedback and can't wait to play everyone's games!
